Goodbye Poem by Sir Tshiamo Modise

My love for you painted my world with happiness
Until I decided to re-paint it with your true colours

I walked through hot lava
Just to be your lover
Flower source of my tummy butterflies
One more hour to look into those eyes

And ask: ”Remember how we used to be a semi-sonnet? ”
Each of us carried a seven-day love
You heptet me heptet
You half me half

My heart bleeds red rose petals
Hitting hard like pieces of metals
I will not forget the times we had
All the best in life ahead

These pieces will never recombine
Hold yours and I will hold mine
