A Dream I Dreamt Poem by mmemezi khumalo

I dreamed a dream
A dream I would love to forget
In the night I would love to forgive
I dreamt ‘us’
An ‘us’ that never existed
An ‘us’ that never exist and will never be
It was however in will that ‘us’ would live one day
In that hollow dream
That weird dream
We were in love
Mutually bonded by undying love
It is that dream that leaves me yearning for ‘us’
An ‘us’ that I know will never be
That dream I would love to forget
But we looked perfect
You snugged in my arms
We were perfect in that dream
A dream I would love to forget
