And We Danced Our Way Through The Night.
Clumsily Finding Our Way Into Each Other's Hearts.

We Were Like The Sun Still Learning To Swim
The Skies On The Second Day Of Creation.
We Traded Stories Of Love And Loss
Over 2am Coffee Sessions On Cold Winter Skies

We've Always Been Particularly
Romantic About The Winter
Because It Reminded Us That
Our  Hearts Were Not The Only Cold Place
We Were Trapped In.


And In The Silences Between Our Thoughts,
I Could Pause Just Long Enough To See
The Sparkle In Your Eyes
Every Time We Talked About The Things You Love

Books, Poetry, ***** And  [me]

These Are The Things That
Kindled A Fire In Your Eyes.
Mandla Wa'Ntima Apr 2019
Through Fires And Storms
Through Rest And Long Walks
Through Silences And Wild Late Night Talks
Through Broken Hearts And Early Morning Calls,

We Discovered Life Had
No In-betweens
It Is Lived In The Extremes
On The Road Or The Seas
From One ***** Bottle To Another

From Coming In To Going Out
From Birth To Death
and From Pillar To Post -

We Are All Passing Through
And All Shall Be Swallowed By The Earth.

— The End —
