Word Of Poetry Poem by Vangile Mtyali

Word of Poetry

Word of poetry
take me back
Take me back to a place where I will hear the sounds of birds
As they sing their love song
Word of poetry
Take me back to my mother's womb
take me back to my innocence
Where I lived a care free life
Cause I was simply just a little girl
Word of poetry
Take me back
To the green pastures
Where I could smell the green grass
And the cow dungs
Where my lungs were full of pure and clean fresh air
Word of poetry
Take me back
Take me back 2 the African sunrise and the African sunset
Cause there nothing as beautiful as the African sunset
Word of poetry
Take me back to the African rhythms
made up of the African drums
Word of poetry
Take me back
Take me back to the Shakespearean love
The love which was shared
by Romeo and Juliet
Let me have a sip from their love
And get drunk
And lost in it
Word of poetry
Take me back to the land of love
I mean Rome
Where the surroundings are made up of love
Word of poetry
Take me back to the garden of Eden
So I can experience paradise
here on earth
Where all is perfect and just right
