Broken Cord Poem by PHUMLA KHANYILE

Time stole the thoughts
Slowly they faded to the past
Distance stood tall in the midst
Memory waved like subsiding waves

Broken is the joining twine
We no longer intertwined
Your gaze is cold as ice
Gone is the spark that shined

Who undid the knot we tied?
Was it the tides of time?
Did they spew us apart?
Or was it just an act of fate

So broken is the cord
We no longer in accord
You stand aloof though near
So out of reach like a dream
