Imprisoned By Love Poem by Kgosigkadi Asher Mavuso

Imprisoned by Love 14/11/2009

This is something I realized after everything you've said to me
This is the pain I'm feeling after all the hurt you embarked on me

Painful words about weakness you always highlight
Physically crippling my state of mind, yet I stand as a pillar to those near me.
You put guilt on me by counting my faults
Yet you don't realize that my faults are your wrong doings

The Lord protects you and stands by you
The Lord found you a place of hide
A place of joy
Pause, Be still, listen and be grateful
For the Lord has blessed
With an angel on your side
He has kept you protected

Find no fault in me I beg of you
Find no sin in me I pray for you
Find no cruelty in me but look beside you
All is Blessed

“Hush be still” He said
“Forgive and teach” He says
I have forgiven you and I am still your friend
But I choose my distance

I feel your presents but I choose to stay away
Away from you
Away from our chats
Away from our bonds
Telepathically you and I speak still
Heartically you and I share the same dream

“Peace be still” He said
“Listen with your heart” another man said
In our dreams we shall be together
In our minds we shall see each other
In our hearts soulfully burning we shall love each other for eternity

“I will be with you till the end of time” He said
I hold your hand in my prayer
I keep you calm in my meditation
I keep you still in my peace
A joyful smile I bring forth
Even when you leave


I know you will come
I know you will come back to me
You will come back and in my arms you shall rest
I stay with hope to hold you again

“Peace be still” He said
Let loose the pain
I will let loose the sorrow
free your soul
I will free my tears

For I hold you no prisoner
Hold me no sinner
You and I share a special bond
We share the blood because you left my womb nutritious with life
Thus your health suffers.
You gave me life
I gave you pain
I hold you no prisoner
Hold me no sinner

“Peace be still” He said
The heart of love pains you
But leaves me scaring as I try to teach you how to love
The tip of my toes pains as you keep stepping on me
As I try to teach how to dance
You loose your temper and patience
I loose my cool and humbleness

From time to time we fight
physically we strangle each other almost to death
Oh but I hate it when you get stubborn
but I love it when you rebel with me
We make love again trying make each feel better
You wipe my tears as I kiss better teeth marks on your neck

We make up and make love
but I know that tomorrow you'll hate me again
I hold you no prisoner
Hold me no sinner

“Hush be still” He said
I hold your hand in my prayer
I keep you calm in my meditation
I keep you still in my peace
I hold you no prisoner
Hold me no sinner
Rest now; Hush now; Peace now.
