Lehlonolo J Tshukudu Poems

Imaginary heroes!

Whenever I scream out loud
There's a deep voice within me,
...

At first I thought we were 'just friends'
But some nights I could call you and lower my voice just so it could be charming;
I honestly don't know why I did that, but it it worked, or maybe not,
We used to be friends in open spaces but deep town our hearts has tied the knot
...

I don't know what's wrong with me
Some days I wake up wanting to be loved and some days I'm just mean
I usually give that good attitude,
Yet now I'm stuck in this vicissitudes
...

I gave you love like a man with no backup plan,
like my heart didn't come with a spare.
Every late night call, every 'are you okay? ',
I was there… I was always there.
...

I knew you were poison
the first time your love tasted like an apology wrapped in sugar.

But I drank anyway.
...

They told me
a man is a mountain.

Unshaken.
