Body Of My Soul Poem by Nkululeko Mdudu
Body Of My Soul
I remember days
when I sat alone
In the dark,
with savage beasts
Dancing beside me.
All the while
my greatest hazard
Was the thought.
But then you came in,
Turned on the light
and, with an Uninteligible smile,
watched the monsters disappear.
Then you walked
Towards me and stood
like a leaning tower
Which came down hard
with the words:
'Ufuna ni apha? '
'What do you seek here? '
Of all the thousands of words
Running through my mind
I could only reach for one:
Me...
Half asking, half telling,
Addressed to you and I.
Then you turned 'round
Without a sound, and left;
You turned the light off
But left the door half open
With your light shining beyond.
Oh body of my soul!
Slowly you walked,
But you walked, dammit!
And you left me lying there,
Head on bed,
heart in hand;
Limbs, bones, breath,
Feeling detached
from myself.
So now you go ahead
And write the report.
I know you hate paper-work
But you...
you were the one
That found me.

You are a sensitive man, who asks questions all the time, you should stick to the Me your true Self and go with the flow of life. The significance of the numbers 12: 11: 12 you will have to enlighten me with. Poetry is good for figuring things out. Keep writing. Bob
