Today I sentence you for all the crimes you have done to me
by Siyabonga Mxolisi Nzimande
This woman;
once she was a girl, she went to a lady,
like all seeds, she fell to the fertile soils and merely
blossom right on my palms.
From the very same moment
I realized that if there is any criminal better than her then it would be in Heaven.
She stole my eyes with her beauty, she corrupted my concentration
that was me walking like a crack true like a sliding door.
Deep at night I realized how she manipulated my thoughts,
really that was mental fraud, I kept hitting one side
for everything became a narrow shape leading to her smile.
I crack with laughter at times seriously she is raping my emotions,
I lose myself with her, cuddling her around is just a wish to last forever,
she is my secret lover, my public love then if she is guilty please
arrest me too, let us be together in the cell and sentence us forever.
I am lost in the fiction of love with no identity,
am I drug abusing I feel her fragrance in my vessels, arteries then
this is a living drug dealer that would never be caught for I am the only witness.
Each day I get thin trying to be best to her, trying to cuddle her falls,
trying to be the best king of her palace no no no this is an active
human silent organized robbery with no weapons.
Her heels are like the Zulu spear tearing my wish of cheating,
pin pointing me to her only; is that not scamming?
Her voice into my ears raises the beat of the motile jazz sound, ring like the melody of summer sounds
keep me quite at all times looking at her walking around me; my right of talking free is dead.
She struck my life with the feeling like lightning and I never felt love
for someone else but her, where is my freedom to choose with this woman.
But today is today for I sentence you in my heart forever till death set history
for it won’t separate our love just the fleshes for our connectivity is the best crime ever.
