Blind Faith Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Blind faith
I gazed upon an Angel with adoration, hoping to myself if she could fall into my arms I'd never let her go; thinking I'd be her pillar, that even if her name is Victoria, I'd still never let her fall; except head over heels in love with me, even though I know nothing about ladies shoes; but she'd be my Queen, for like 30cm, even though she doesn't know it, my heart she rules; See! Because even though others say she's short, I just believe she's down to earth; because I'd still love her as much even after death and I swear at her smile my legs trembled, knees weakened and my arms got heavy; while I prayed for that day when in bed together we'd both be lazy…
I glanced upon a shooting star, hoping to myself if it aims at me I wouldn't need anything bulletproof; because her voice is the only music I desire to raise my roof; See! She glittered brightly across the sky; while her beauty let me shed a tear, even though I didn't cry; for a second my heart froze and I felt numb; while in her arms I felt young, kinda like a sheep and its lamb; except when I opened my eyes she was already gone; like the shooting star that she was, she shot past me, through my heart living only glimmers of what could be termed as hope; that maybe next time she'll be trapped by my heart and will be mine for to keep…
I gazed upon the moon, hoping to myself it'll make me whole rather than crescent; while my tears will form a lake on my chick for which she'll drown into my request; she blossomed bright in the heaven unfettered by the number of thick clouds below her even if they were seven; million miles separate her heart beat from mine and several seas created these rifts; but I carried her in my heart like the single sky and these stars it lifts; I swear! In my heart is where she belonged; for when she left, this void made me realize that for years it was for her, I longed; see! Even though many moons have gone by, I have known no other to make me a better guy, because even though I wait, I know not when she shall return but still I believe in this blind faith…
