The Perfect Song Poem by Isunge Mwangase

If I wrote the perfect song,

Its notes and how the cords

Ought to be played-

The song would be one to

Describe our love's journey

All our highs, lows, ups, downs,

Laughs- our cries—

Its melody would be tailored by

Orchestral instruments;

A shed of electric guitars and drums,

Its beat, our heartbeat- beating as one,

Choir of two, we would sing this song

Lost in ourselves; alto, baritone, bass,

Soprano, tenor- oh! The jollity,

Singing our past, singing our present

And our future- the now

We would sing with our heart and voice

The perfect song would never end.
