And So, He Stayed Poem by Mathapelo Kgukutli

How often he wished to let go,
yearning for that feeling of oblivion,
to dismiss this machosism affair,
how he longs to diminish this fires she lights in him,
Emotions only centuries ago human will understand.

one too many moons he saw,
he saw through the darkness of being the one,
The one chosen to carry his lover`s pain,
Oh! This must be cpid`s vengeful trick,
She loving him, me loving her, Yet he stayed.

He stayed to enjoy again her charming smile,
The way her eyes light,
Oh! How i swear were never windows to her treacherous soul,
for in them i see me and her.
Damn! How can one man withstand this much anguish,
and yet he stayed.

Alas! the other is gone,
He never stayed, He saw what i never seen,
He rolled on his sides and tail between his thighs, he ran.
he ran so far she cant find him.
Too bad for he left with her stoned heart,
leaving ne with her, her crying for him,
And yet he stayed.
