Simply Reconcile Me Poem by Changu Chilwesa

SIMPLY RECONCILE ME
In a desert have I found myself, I look up yonder to the mountains high and below to the valleys deep this time I ask not from whence cometh my help? Against mighty men on horses have I raced in search of thee. My soul weary, my spirit weak and my body lifeless, I am simply nothing without you. It is clear I need thee to survive. Am starving, I feel so malnourished. My throat so dry, this thirsting not even an ocean would quench. Under the scotching sun, I lie in wait of you for a shade I can’t seem to find. The emptiness I feel, only you can fill. The hunger within, only you can satisfy. My life though feeble, I want you to have because on my own the will to live I would not have.

The birds to you sing melodies so sweet, I hear them. The trees dance before thee to a rhythm only you both can hear, truce it is, a relationship with you is personal.Paper and pen have I before me, a burning desire to put together words that describe how much you mean to me. In my mind I search for the most grandiloquent of words but still in describable you remain and my paper blank it still is. A heart song for you I sing, gibberish the words my sound, but profound they are. What you do to me, no one can possibly do. When you speak, it’s like for eternity your voice I want to hear. When you touch me, shiver do I with anticipation of what you will do next. You take me to heights I dare not go alone, a climax like no other, you are simply my all in all.

You have got to reconcile me to yourself again, for brief a moment I had fallen short of the only love I have ever known. A love so real, pure and strong. A love unconditional, my heart it burns like it where on fire. Take me back to that place where we first met, to the place where I found a love that many are in search of. There is totally nothing comparable to spending life with your first love, I never seem to get enough out of you. I want so much more of you, take me back. Hold me so close and never let go. I feel so safe with you. With you around, I am confident I can anything I have ever dreamt of being. You inspire me. You are the reason I get up so fearless in the morning, excited about life. You complete me. In you I move, breathe and have my being.

In a dry and barren land I sort you, in despair you found me. Saturate me with your presence, illuminate my soul with love unspeakable. Eloquence in speech I strive to have, for sweet nothings I long to whisper in your ears day by day. Verbose these words might seem but no matter how hard I try, I just can’t find the right words to utter and write down. I am amazed at how much you love me, my name engraved on your palms it is. The apple of your eye, have you called me. The mention of your name to me, like honey on my lips it is. I am simply mesmerized, by the very thought of you. With my mind, body and soul, I Love you.

Keepin’ it Jesus, Changu
