Savage Winds Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

Savage Wings
Savage wings do blow through the hairs on my head; my ears do shiver from the raging sounds heard; I looked to see through the blistering cold only to see falling leaves; yet every time I seem to move forward, her memory from my heart never quite leaves; she touched my heart in very special way without using hands & I fell heavily in love for her than a crashing plane lands; I remember her warm smile like a crescent moon & I swear! My girl was hot kinda like the sun at noon; only time will tell like the sand dune; when these savage winds do change tune…
Savage winds do shake me off the ground; she swept my feet and I fell into a feeling so profound; I wrote poems for her like a university dissertation; while she melted my heart, I swear! She was my inspiration; we had never changed provinces but I swear! Her kisses were richer than a copper belt; I had never been a gambler but, she was the queen of hearts and those were the only cards I dealt; for a second my heart traded places with my brain and I fell for her more than I thought I would; but there was no shaking away my love just like the trees stand firm against savage winds when they blow more than they should……
Savage winds do blow away my top to render me shirtless; but her beauty did more to me than leaving me breathless; it's like there was traffic on my tongue because I run out of words to describe her; while a journey through her heart was a euphoria that brought me so far; I got lost in her heart, but the truth really is that I never wanted to be found; because her every heart beat was as beautiful as the humming bird's sound; as she spoke to me gently when I was down; I realized, it was really her smile that chased away my frown; because in the night like the moon together we did glow; I guess what we had was something so beautiful, but sadly, it left to where ever the savage winds do blow….
