Still Attached Poem by Lehlohonolo Selai

From the day my heels tasted dust different from yours
That day when our eyes were for the first time
Casted upon different visions all in all,
Lumps of bitterness and distress of a kind
Whispered your name to awaken those moments

Perhaps to let me know one or two things
I am still attached, yes I am.
For I swallowed bitterness and tasted distress to kill time
Yet it never worked
So, for a change, I watched your face play in my mind
Guess what happened!

Flames of joy fired up so much that my heart skipped beats.
Memories so wide and great
Yet my mind rests upon that of our first day
When the only music we heard was Chinese
But our brave hearts did not mind anything

I chewed through many things
Sitting on the couch watching films
Yet the greatest was that which played in my mind.
Yes, I am still attached.
Yes I wish to journey back to that junction
Where we parted ways

For many things I wish
But mostly for a chance with you,
For a moment in a million to view your face.
Yes I wish to kill the present nature of these thoughts
For them to be reborn of reality,
I am still attached.
