Athuxolo Abstract Thought Ntenteni Poem
Let's pretend we never existed
there was no "us"
there was no spark
nor fire, that nothing was just
Let's pretend there was no first kiss
No lips in lips,
Massaging of tongue tips
And hands sliding from wrists
bags from hands slipping
Falling...
Hearts giving,
body friction,
chests beating,
moving!
to the same rhythm
Let's pretend
this moment never had meaning
Let's pretend we weren't compatible
Pretend my arms couldn't go well around your
body
Pretend our hugs had no chemistry,
Our kisses had no electricity,
Our sex had no fire
Our hearts had no desire
For unity...
Pretend that it was just about the sex, the
status
That I never noticed your glow
That it was in, out and go
We could pretend that we grew closer
But never took it
Slow...
Let's pretend your appearance mattered
If your hair was straight or curly
Whether you were thick or thin
How wide your back was
how flat your chest is
Let's pretend I never cared
which direction your mouth concaved in
I might as well pretend I never knew you
If I have to deny your worth,
Simply because I lost you
If I have to deny your beauty,
Simply because I cannot see you
If I have to deny what you meant to me
Simply because you are not mine
Then nothing will be fine

Athuxolo Abstract Thought Ntenteni Poem
There is a beautiful poem
I hid it in the best place
I could find
Above the sea
Below the sky
Above your nose
Embedded within your eyes
I look to you
Looking at me
I hid it hoping
Someday you'd see
There is a poem
A poem of mine
Hidden in the last place
You'd think to find
Between the kisses
Behind the guilt
Within the tears
Right before they leap
Within the blessings
That we have miscounted
Under these miracles
That we have missed
Its in the way I stare,
When I stare at you
Its in your confusion
As you stare too
I know it
My heart is in it
I know it
I know your heartache
I look to you, looking at me
Hoping someday you'd see
There is a poem
A poem of mine
Hidden in the last place
You'd think to find
Above your stomach
Below your neck
Within your chest
And between your breasts
Within your insecurities
Right behind your strength
Within those tears
That you almost wept
So I look to you, looking at me
Knowing that someday
You'd see
