About This Poem
'Fire snuffed Out'
I came across you
as I stumbled through
a darkened alley
shadows of the makeshift fire
shed light on your face
I wasn't sure if you were smiling or just
trying to unnerve me
after all it was late and I was alone
there I stood almost like I was glued to the spot
reluctant to move
just in case the shadow of you disappear
so I held my pose
waiting on you to make the first move
you never did,
the fire finally snuffed out
as it started to rain..
You never said a word,
just took off your jacket and covered me with it
there I stood as you turned around
and walked away
*inspired by the rainy weather in Cape Town*
