Isunge Mwangase Poems

After she smiled, a kiss she blew me,
Like a woodpecker making her nest
I heard my heart quake,
When she turned around and drenched his lips,
...

I lick my lips to taste our kiss from yesterday-
Caress these scratches on my back
To revitalize your touch-
...

Save the world, plant a tree,
For each one chopped, plant three,
Responsibility starts with you,
You actions, the things you do
...

My feelings still hold onto you,
Your fingers remove from my grip,
I never learnt to love you
But I love you,
...

On the banks of river Zambezi,
Amid climes chilly and hazy,
I think only of you my lover-
My fingertips gliding on the the river
...

Pain is not pain that is not
felt by the heart
Or when your soul is not torn
apart,
...

I thought I would live forever, like Newton or Shakespeare-
Until you were gone I realized you were my life’s elixir,
I tore your heart to pieces yet it is mine that is torn-
Numbed, suffocated, mutilated, annihilated-
...

My heart crashed with the loudest din,
Loving you is the greatest sin,
Because the wages of it is my death,
You made my soul leave the earth,
...

I believed the world was
round,
'Til I fell off the edge of your
soul,
...

Don't be sorry for fracturing my soul
Though it never again will be whole,
Loving you is worth the pain,
I would do it over and over again
...
