Poem Title:
Poem
Growing up in Zimbabwe I always thought l was cursed Everyone had seen an angel in someone And l didn't, until l took that gaze upon a Light skinned beauty. Okay, the girl from the saloon down the road I'm Atipaishe, probably you haven't heard that name I know, it's not formal but I think it counts As an introduction For me not to know your name, l take the blame I remember correctly, l saw you on the 12th of July At 12.57 pm, l never thought l would write this poem So, ever since that day, spent so much time Thinking how l was going to be man enough to say "Hi" So l marked my calendar on the 24th so that I could come, l came and said Hi then went back home I didn't even hear you reply, my heart was already Celebrating, You did it man!! I went back home was a happy fellow That moment replayed in my mind the whole damn time. I was happy that lm normal That at least I've seen an angel in someone like everyone does. It's crazy that I still don't know your name I made up names for you like Cookie, Channel They're so many. They start with "C" so that maybe l gained confidence I did it all because l was too shy to ask I'm sorry but l swear lm not a stalker Everything is weird for the first timers It's my first time having to interact with angels I'm clumsy Please forgive me. I said lm not a stalker, I just pass by your saloon at least 7 times a day I will be hoping, l see you smiling When l get bored in my room with Tom and Jerry I come and pass by so that l get happy again I get happy, go home and think about you still I pray you recognize me when l finally get the guts I hope our skin tones blend when we take pictures I want us to have 23 children so that you be occupied and leave the saloon Most importantly I want you to say that you like my hair style and you wish to maintain it I wanna hear you say "l think l like you too" POEM!!!
