Falling into the Falls

No matter how unbreakable
His memory invariably breaks
The layers of time
 
No matter what
He cannot escape
His is an eternal reminiscence
Hers a tantalising presence 
 
Of the whole scenario 
Incredible duo stronger than a trio
 
No matter how far-flung
It may seem or sound
His heart traverses over proximity
From one zone to blissful probity
 
They came and cherished
Smiles lighting up the zone
Bodies sinking emotions to
A startling depth  
Echoing music epitomising
A graceful warmth
 
Falling into Victoria Falls
Falling and falling 
With funny falling feelings
 
Suddenly before they knew it
Their passions were but 
Ragingly white-water rafting
Hearts canoeing to a pounding halt
 
He marvels at the wonders of nature
He recalls the moment he tamed 
Time and world  
To a standstill marionette
And a mere palm-captive
 
Or was he the prisoner 
And puppet of the moment?
Or did she hold him
And time firmly in her palm? 
 
He also evokes the magic 
Of the Matobo Hills
How they strut their stuff 
Of historical splendor 
 
Spellbinding scenery 
Cornucopia of heritage that 
Sweeps one off one’s feet
 
The memories mortalised  
Revisit and drown him
Leaving him with a heightened
Desire to rewind the units of time…
