Dusk (Green house)A Poem by Vincent Makhathini
Dusty past, useless turf and resentment lives here
Barren I've been since the big bang Vultures paraded on my turf when another one bit the dust With no one to trust, not even a tree survived this desertification And summer came, thank the clouds for the incessant rain Jolly and saturated to my brim But on my left a greens house pumps life At dusk the fire flies like scarecrows keep the hunters away from the heart Inside the florist keeps the flower smiling The dust rises and the wind blows wild protecting what’s inside My soul Covering all my flaws I exist. Live. Breath. I need love and my soul is hungry and empty The flowers represent peace and my introvert being The hive of bees represent my thoughts and some are buzzing Ready to be released but I keep them to myself I know they are suffocating but I cannot let them fall to deaf minds How can i give gold to a person who will treat it as pebbles? At night i light up my inner self because at this time dark thoughts visit Trying to taint my soul © 2015 Vincent Makhathini |
