To My Beloved, For Us! Poem by Mishack Mchunu

You opened my eyes to see you,
The evening that was conquering my light to shine
You reversed it and made my sky blue.
The rising sun; with a burning spear I drew a line.

You made me to travel places in my dreams,
The beauty of having you brought destiny to my possession.
You fade not in my eyes but persist like the ocean streams,
The unity of us is fate itself through creation.

I will rise and fall with you as the sun flower,
Though darkness may separate us and leave my head hanging,
It will not be long ahead you burn this world with your power,
Your brightness cover us all even those who are dying.

And we strain our eyes from the entire earth to your presents,
You are my wife my life, I saw deeper than the prophets.
