Seeking For Another Neo-Chance Of Trur Affection Poem by Thando Mashinini

Beating hearts, trembling minds
And crackling thought,
Seeking pieces that still yet fit not in this void,
Thus with my heavily vacuumed heart I hit the road,

Egocentric Confidence says I'm a Man!
These are upcoming pieces of my ruins,
Striking pieces of my wounds,
Lovely pieces of my heart;
My broken heart stabbed by self's endeavours!

Repentance remotely calling with a small voice,
In my lone place of thoughts: REALITY STRIKES;
I have yet scribbled another Queen's smiles;
Her dimples and glowing vision as she beamed before my eyes,
Surely! She had been a Queen of after-images
And I had turned into a King of ruthless damages!

With my Lion Head convicted in a cage
My body had subliminally moved with the rage,
Thus I chant, 'Father forgive me, for I have been in an eye-for-an-eye yolk of bondage,
Conceited chains of grimace,
If in me salvation comes I shall take another race,
Not a re-race; in fear of disturbing her ladiness pace.
