In Hell Tonight Poem by Suzawaka Phiri

In Hell Tonight

The way I set your body on fire will put me in hell tonight,
How can my eyes behold such beauty and not be in hell tonight?
Nothing breaks the heart more than a love that lasts just a few minutes,
My lips have cursed the gods; How can I not be in hell tonight?
Together my pretty one we have tasted the forbidden fruit,
Surely eternally together we shall be in hell tonight.
Angels are males, my beautiful one, how then are you an angel?
Thoughts of setting an angel on fire will put me in hell tonight.
Leper's Queen, Sodom you are, let us burn together forever,
For you, I will commit a sin that will cast me in hell tonight.
