Spiritual Legacy

Spiritual Legacy

A Poem by Ayanda Mteto

I want to bring change before my dying flesh

Leave a legacy for my sons and daughters

Upon this world raped of its resources

Welcome them to paradise

As I was robbed cast out of Eden for the apple

Was sin a seed of vile

Upon my weary heart I was deceived

 

It looked ripe as she gave me to taste

Melting in my lips languishing

That savour my mouth was salivating

It was like a dream I could see but not touch

It would escape as I reach to grab

 

Down my mouth flowing with juices

Soothing my neck tingling with sweet joy

As each bite was cascading with honey ecstasy

Tasting a delicious sin

Melting like a vanilla cream on a sunny day

I rushed to finish this life

 

I needed time to grow unfurl my roots

On the ground bare real fruits

Not apples I tasted sin but life to cherish

Sprout its fullness

 My soul thwarts for chasing worldly riches

I give this world to you as I depart

Bleeding on the cold Earth

Nourishing the arid ground.

Beautiful write like a psalm , love these lines My soul thwarts for chasing worldly riches
I give this world to you as I depart
Bleeding on the cold Earth
Nourishing the arid ground.
