Walked... Poem by Onalethuso Petruss Ntema

? *walked into (and out of) this life*

i walked into this life
alone without a doubt
to (still) jet out of this strife
without a south
taking me through the walks of life
to reign and fall
a not so mere call
for a but
and a maybe
i wont foul

my departure forever
and never
come back
forever
whence i came to live and learn
the trails i earn
my skin to burn
under this sun
by the rivers
of memories i stand
to blend
a trend
that fades
by the shades
of living and dead

score me a debt
grow me a strength
to set
my foot on this oath
of life to die; both

a chart to plot
all thou points
of all sort
once intersected
my glowing heart
a way to start
the end
of this one point!
