A Rush.... Poem by Langelihle Maphumulo

Hastily she drew nearer,
lazily rested her glare in my
eyes,
petrifying and beautiful like
alluring sketch upon the wall.
her hello a goodbye to my
sanity,
threw me deep in the pit
of her love,
trapped me in a spiral web
of her magic....

SHE,
a stranger with no visual
for all i am,
Sculptured and signed
her name across my heart.
like the good old sun,
carelessly passed me by
like a shadow....
moonstruck i watched her
walk away,
hurriedly vanishing into thin air....
