tawona chimbwanda Poems

Music I head with you was more than music and bread I shared with you
was more than bread. The JOKES WE SHARED WERE MORE THAN WHAT THEY WERE. NOW THAT I AM WITHOUGHT YOU, ALL IS DESOLATE, ALL THAT ONCE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL IS DEAD.

YOUR HANDS ONCE TOUCHED THIS TABLE AND THIS SILVER, AND I HAVE SEEN YOUR FINGERS HOLD THIS GLASS. THESE THINGS DO NOT REMEMBER YOU, BELOVED, AND YETYOUR TOUCH UPORN THEM WILL NOT PASS. THE MEMORY AND IMAGE WILL LAST.

TO A FRIEND INDEED
A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN NEED OF A FRIEND LIKE YOU INDEED.
WITH YOU THERE IS NO COMPRIMISE, A GOOD IS A GOOD, A BAD
