Perfect Stranger Poem by Kondwani Simwaba

The Perfect Stranger
She was just an unknown damsel;
Blown into his cave of doom, while clad in inexplicable smiles;
She had a glow that would outshine supernova;
Her eyes contained so much life that would out shimmer the heavenly stars;
Her voice, would but mend any scars; she was the perfect stranger.
You see, she came to him when he was but a tear away from hitting rock bottom;
She picked him up and offered to fix him;
She touched his heart tenderly and eased his pain;
She embraced his imperfections the same way a writer grasps his pen;
She kissed his insecurities goodbye.
Unbeknownst to him, she too was broken;
Scars from the past haunted her like the hammer house of horror;
But with him, she had so much more like an explorer;
Because their imperfections amalgamated like copper and zinc to form brass;
You see, these strangers were home, alas!
