Perhaps You Are Right Poem by LLM Mbatha

Perhaps you are right
I suppose I can never be
The Knight, in shining armor
That your mother told you about-
Not even a Zulu Warrior
To protect you with a shield!
But I can bring a smile
Up on your face
And then we can dance
The world away!
No words to say-
Yet we converse…
I can melt your fears
To nothingness
Gild your tears
With happiness
Your hand in mine…
Why should you worry
About The End
Near or far
Why should we! ?
Here and now
There’s only me, only you
No yesterday
The day is gray
The wine is red
Let us be blind,
My Love
To the motion of the clouds
Deaf, to the music of the leaves
