My One Solution Poem by kaunda kapungwe

My One Solution



Here i sit in the darkness
my eyes are broad open but seeing nothing
my mind busy trying to make sense out of life
my brain busy thinking of a thousands of thoughts
but all looking forward to one solution

here i get up and take a lonely walk
and my brain busy trying to figure out what is in my mind
but still i could not come up with one solution

now questions arose in my head
asking myself sad and deep questions
'what am i missing in my life because i have food to eat,
i have clothes to wear and change,
i have entertainment to watch,
i have some little money to spend,
i have education at hand.'
but sadness grew higher after realizing there was no answer to my queries

here rises a war in my mind and heart
one is telling me that am lacking something big
but the other is telling me that you are becoming weak.
delusional and frustration is anchoring my head,
and stress has increased within me.

here i go to church for deliverance
but instead my thoughts and questions just rose higher,
i came to believe that what was in me was not evil
but it was just looking forward for one solution.

i went out for beer in order to release the stress out of me
but when i got sober my mind took me back to my inner sorrow.

then from nowhere hear came the star sparkling in my eyes,
so brighter than diamond itself, so resplendent and so naturally beautiful. you conquered my heart and mind with your twinkling eyes.
and my mind and heart came to one realization and signed a treaty to love you
because that was the only one solution to peace within me.
you are my one solution to my mind and heart.

i reeeeeeaaaaaally looooove you GIRL
