Late Blooming DuetA Poem by Vincent Makhathini
...mezmerizing the depths of my soul
Behind closed curtains we dance to get to our foes You're hitting the spot, river of sweat flowing down the back Its the tango, no it feels like jamming to the peaceful sound of soul sounds You're my base guitar, together we create the blues With the touch of African drums that keeps the rhythm fluctuating as I strike a chord on the base the two blend as we do It sounds like a gong being struck by a bag of light feathers Nobody elese fathoms,this unknown dance We prolly are the Adam and eve of time Tasting the forbidden fruit and have fallen Yet becoming more aware of the true self trapped within Our bodies scream in shock and pleasure As we squirm, as the tortuous way leading to the Lesotho mountains The cold has vanished, and deep inside the dance lives on The tranquil sounds maintain the peace and connection Just as the love is felt even when miles away from the lover The love burns inside, wanting to escape like lava © 2015 Vincent Makhathini |
