Pardy Mupfumbu Poems

In the dark streets of
unhappy endings,
where needles numb the
pain in a dying vein.
...

Hey there Audrey,
What is it like to roam the city
When people are looking at you,
thinking;
...

Dear Self
Be kind to yourself,
as you are with others.
You have these grand expectations of yourself
...

I like the way you moan
try and hold it in
or bite your lip;
breathing ragged with just the tip
...

You were a book that I've only ever heard of,
Never once have I been able to read you
But when I did get a chance
I studied your cover and fell in love with your spine
...

Make me your emblem
Adopt my colours
Let them be seen
Through actions and verse.
...

How did you end up
flowing in my veins?
I breathe you
with every second that passes
...

Delightful, a beauty in sight
With no distractions
No sounds of chaotic city life drifting in over some nearby wall
The garden is vast
...
