Eunice Masumbuko Poems

God took the beauty of the sunset
The confidence of justice
The depth of hell
The deliciousness of a dream
...

A scary world it is
When one is walking alone
In poverty, sorrow and segregation
Nothing to eat, naked bodied
...

I am just but a tiny blip
In a whole galaxy
A small dot on a deep blue sheet
Too many others just as small as I am
...

Close your eyes and savour the silence
It feels like death, reaching for your soul,
Breathing beautiful threats to a heart ever broken,
A dead beat which no longer means anything,
...

There is that one person whom you hate loving but still do
That one song that irritates you but you still sing it
That one place that gives you creeps but you still visit
That one pair of jeans that's too tight but you still wear
...

'I wanted to write you a letter, my love
To bring back the madness of our passion
And the bitterness of separation.'
I wanted you to rememberhow much you loved me,
...

A million lines written
A thousand words said,
But the feeling remains
Stronger than ever,
...

Could it be her? To be adorned with a circle made of gold?
As she lay there playing with technology,
I budged into her place with super-sonic haste.
The swift turn of her neck exposed her face.
