Mpati’s Letter

I am just another boy From a town Backward and small Where love is love And love is all- I love with seeing Like any untutored fool I believe in things With colours and shapes Love is a rainbow Twisted and curved What ever is in your head I will take it like a man Speak without fear On our meeting tomorrow If it hurts- I will hide my eyes(a while) But, Should you want to love me Another day- I will love you truly I will love you naturally CONTINUOUSLY Like the ancient river That floods the sea with salt And with tears- From distant lands-
