Her beauty glows perfectly
Like a dawn through the dark
Even though
She was a biltong
Shrunken like lilies of the desert
In a broken summer time
Lean with bold head
Her eyes gleaming tears
Still beautiful like aqua in the sunshine
Her smile full of sorrow
I evoked the resemblance
We once hold hands back in the village
And my heart still melts
And smiles when nearer to thy soul
Thou amazing woman
Diffidently she came close
Her lips dry and emaciated
Her hands cold
Felt gaunt like chicken feet
Her young face wrinkled
And whispered in my ears
Her quivering voice
A dulcet harmony of the dawn chorus
Serenading the nature of my being
Soon I could die
Please let your heart
Not to fall in love with me
Look what cancer has done to me
I have Leukemia
The smell of death is all over my breath
It feels like my body is rejecting my soul
I’m dying
Exhaustion of Sleepless nights
And the sun rises with slurs
The world stares at me with insults
And diagnose my disease with their eyes
Apparently I’m HIV positive
Is this what you also see in me?
A disgrace
A **** who got what she deserved
Yet she used to be divine and reserved
You know
It is so sore, so sore and sore
To see your own infant, your own flesh
Frightened in your arms
And crying for someone else
It breaks me apart
If you could feel the pain I'm in
you would understand what I mean
I’m scared of living
And I’m scared of dying too
What do you really love in me?
The resemblance
Of your teenage infatuation
Really?
And I said
There is a cure
A cure for your disease
Cancer can be healed
I can never let you die
You are the lamp of my soul
When I’m drowning deep in the dark of misery
I was born incomplete
And you were the missing part of my life
Without you I’m just a song with no rhythm
A piece of poem with no theme
Let me love you more
Because I do love you more
And after sometime in fairyland
After her chemotherapy treatment
We were engaged
