What If, Marry-Ann, What If Poem by Musa Ndhlovu

I told you that I still,
Deep down in my heart feel-
The same way I did when
I was in your arms by then?

What if, Marry-Ann, what if
I showed you the true
Meaning of me? For through
Me, you have ne'er seen:
Will you. Sing or sin?

What if, Marry-Ann, what if
I proved to you that
You were ne'er the one that
Was to be married by me?
Will that make you hate me?

What if, Marry-Ann, what if
I addressed you my sweet
Behove benign flint?
Would you call me evil?
Oh yes; the above is perjury!
