Neville Malatsi Poems

By your very touch, I implode
My cruel creator surely designed this in my code
My wings of sapphire and ice melt under your fiery embrace
I shyly pulled back my mask to reveal my scarred face
...

I will drag you down with me
Into the abysmal watery depths of your mind
A Lorelei I am, Poseidon's bride I was supposed to be
You could not resist my siren song
...

Treacherous are the waters of life
From boons of Theseus and the Oracle
Only can one steer the tides
When evils bequeathed from Pandora's Box,
...

What manner of being suspended you there?
Oh, star of Ishtar
Beauty so resplendent and brilliant
I am incinerated by your pulchritudinous visage
...

I gaze longingly into your eyes
To capture every particle in your soul
That burns with such luminous beauty
I fall hopelessly in love with the sigils and runes
...

We are beings severed from the same source
Lost in a cosmic spiral
We yearn for our blissful reunion
Aeons of wandering, we are interstellar wayfarers
...

Under a cold, snowy and starry night
I wince longingly at your wet bite
Upon my neck streams of plasma exude as bait
As my half-naked frame fluctuates
...

Persevere, Agito
Ye shall overcome
In ye heart shall burn
A resolve hotter
...

Dusk punctuates the ephemeral skies
An impending sense of the end belies
A lone figure in the suicide woods, lets go what must be released
A life waiting to be ceased
...
