Imagery Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

IMAGERY
I sought across the sky to see an angel clad in stars, she was as magnificent as the rainbow at the end of a heavy rainfall; the sun had nothing on her, I guess it's why they said she was hot; she brightened my heart with love, as the moon enlightens the night; she had a smile curved as beautiful as Orion's bow, while her piercing gaze sharper than Orion's arrow and her voice as sweet, soft and tender as the morning bird. I'll sit and think profoundly about that night by the tree and wonder if they were any stars present, because I swear I thought she shined the brightest; for when I gazed upon the sky it was nothing but her face I saw.
As I took another glance, I saw as the angels gathered from all realms to witness the magnificence of her glow; an angel after my own heart, for even the moon paid homage to her eminence; the queen of my heart; it was as if she controlled the entire cosmic body how the clouds gathered before her to give her passage; I swear not even the mighty lightning bolt of Zeus could make her smile falter; I promise you, the Orchids and Lilies admired her poise; while the Roses simply got jealous of her beauty, and even though she was scared of heights, I swear she was destined to attain great heights in life and if only she had wings, then she'd be an Eagle because sorrows to her were simply out of reach; her voice made the singing bird sound way out of pitch; she was simply amazing but Alas! She was but an Imagery of all that I desired but never quite had…
