Malvern Chirindo Poem
"Don't stand there,mouth agape
Staring at the lines on my face,like a map
It was you who put me out of shape
You,who always make me snap.
What you once felt for me is all gone
Sometimes I've an edge to pick up the phone
But I'm afraid if I call the police
The bruises and scars,they might not notice.
It's something I accumulated over the years
Judging by the rivers and oceans of tears.
Extinguish from your eyes that distant light
After all these years you have no right.
It hurts like hell
Withdrawing into a shell,
Seeing all those women in your life
When I'm supposed to be your wife.
There are many things that I miss
I've forgotten the taste of your kiss
And the only thing that I remember
Is that we were married in december
If open to my wish lay all nature
I would command time to rub its signature
Off my back.Maybe young again
I would learn to fall in love again".
When a woman cries
Something in her eyes
Tries to swim but dies.
Is it hope,faith or maybe lies.

Malvern Chirindo Poem
It's the hardest thing,saying goodbye
There's always an unasked why
A silent plea,a stifled cry
And the feeling,without you I'm gonna die.
All my tears fell,
I withdrew into a shell
Till I heard someone call,
A lady who had found my soul.
An enchanted evening,
One special moment,
A bottle of wine
And suddenly you were mine.
From the bottom of my heart
From the soul of my tentative touch
Came the words I never thought I would say;
I love you more than I can say.
It seems like I'm falling in love again
And though I may never say never again
If you leave me and cause me pain
I think I would never breathe again.

Malvern Chirindo Poem
My teardrops fall and hit the sink
I look out the window and try to think
How I used to help you do the dishes
Apparently you had too many wishes,
Too many hopes and dreams
And you started playing games.
Suddenly there's too much heat in the kitchen
I smell something burning in the oven
But I just get another lager from the fridge
Though I know beer won't build the bridge
That will get me back to your heart
And I just don't know where to start.
I'm still haunted by echoes of your laughter
Whatever happened to;they lived happily ever after?
How could you choose money over love?
I can't understand this kind of change
It makes what's familiar strange
And I feel my mind just disengage.
But then,unconditional love is just a dream
A tragedy,a distant star
And endearments like for better or worse
Are but just a tentative guess
You left me in this mess and stress
And for this wound,you're the nurse.

Malvern Chirindo Poem
I know I've wronged you before
But you know you're all I live for
And I've made it up to you
A million times over.
So what are you doing?
We're worlds apart
And darkness is falling into my life
I'm walking a tight rope
And I'm losing hope.
What's the point of forgiving me
With that look forever in your eyes
Can't you see it's killing me
Holding you while you haunt me
With you cries
Haven't I paid the price?
Haven't I made the sacrifice?
What can I do to make you realize
I am only human,even in your eyes?

Malvern Chirindo Poem
Sometimes it's soothing to weep
We've lost someone,gone to eternal sleep.
Her memory we'll always keep
Close at heart with a passion deep.
It's the hardest thing for us
To let some things come to pass.
Your death,Dr Vera
Was an end of an era.
But your works we'll always cherish,
They live forever,they'll never perish.
A persistent,distant call on we men
To acknowledge the plight and might of women.
Our voices won't remain under the tongue
When we see those butterflies burning
For no longer will they remain
Only a species without a name.

Malvern Chirindo Poem
Another kiss in the dark,
Will it be our last meeting in the park?
I just can't seem able to stop
Think I'm gonna love you till I drop.
We might have said goodbye
More often than we care to remember
But no matter how hard we try
What we shared,we can't help but remember.
Though it appears like you belong to my best friend
I don't understand why from where I stand
I see things so differently,sometimes
And think about it everytime the clock chimes.
Many times I have felt your fears
And I've tasted your tears
But you gotta know do or die
Is what makes heroes fly.
Hurting my best friend
Is the last thing on my mind
But love sometimes makes us blind
And we don't seem to mind.
Maybe if I had just met you
Another place,another time
Would loving you
Be such a crime.

Malvern Chirindo Poem
"Our love is ill-timed."
That's what she says
But the feeling stays;
A bittersweet emotion,
Dark and deeper than the ocean.
Our love is sweet surrender
We close our eyes and get dragged under.
But sometimes I taste your tears
And wish I could turn back the years
So I could undo my obligations.
I belong to another
Yet with you I want no other.
Chained by yesterday's choices
I hear a million voices
Screaming like my mother.
And if I end up in pain
To choose pain over pleasure
For you,my hidden treasure,
To choose wet moments in the rain
Is such sweet,sweet sacrifice.
Sometimes you're so into me
Sometimes you're so distant
Sometimes you wanna scream and shout
And when I tentatively reach out
And shaking, hold you in my arms
It's wrong but it feels right
And baby girl tonight
Let's make love like there's no tomorrow
Let's make love till there's no more sorrow
Let's reach out and go to heaven tonight.
