Gerald Brilliant Mtetwa Poems

My nights are filled with snow that bites
Thoughts of you tease and chase away sleep from mine eyes
My heart explodes with anxiety as it fails patience to keep
My soul grieves for your arrival to reap
...

Love is the flame
Noone must tame
Sure let it burn
And from it never turn
...

We sat under a baobab tree locked in a saccharine embrace
Our hearts throbbing with bursts of love
Our passion -inflamed voices floating in the wafting breeze
Our foes casting envious glances at us
...

Sweet fecund vast earth my love at first sight
You made mine childhood so bright
I caressed your mysterious mountain breasts and
abundant boulder buttocks
Your valleys were my luscious cleavages
...

True love is the realisation of your otherself, Your deepest connection and missing link, Once a person has done that happiness gushes in their life like an eternal oasis

And to lead a life not founded on true love is clear self-denial, self-robbery and a suicidal dive into the murky waters of bitterness and unhappiness
...

Archery can not exist without a bow and an arrow
So is love, it can not exist without you and me
Without us being in love life is all filled with sorrow
Without us love has no meaning
...

Come hold me close to your ripe bosom
I want to feel and hear the throbs of your heart and set our our love in motion
Come let's kiss and dance though the world our love can not fathom
I am not afraid to hold your hand and proudly roam
...

Savage loneliness loiters in the core of the heart
Sparking miserable flames of boredom in the hut
But she said she did not cause these searing arrows of agony to dart
It is beause the head of the house dismally failed to play his vital part
...

Black and brown pebbles glistened in the cold slithering stream
Whose delicious waters healed my childish heart
Attracting birdmeat into into my fatal snare
...

I hear her soft sweet voice floating gently in the whimpering breeze
Enchanting and enveloping my heart and mind

I hear her placid warm whisperings caressing and delighting my withered ears Embracing and leading my soul into a paradise seethed with gushing oases of love
...
