Poem
COUNTERFEIT LOVE By Madalitso Jasper Mwaungulu Painless emotions display the hurt in my butt My eyes twinkle like little stars As the watery flow shine out Reflecting the captive freedom you put me into I am a free prisoner of love Pushed by your selfish desires Abandoned by your royal lowness My life somersaulted out of the league Everything I knew changed Everything I understood became oblivion My intellect masked by your smiling tender-hearted face I now understand that even the strongest hearts melts They cry, they break, they harden, they soften and they forgive But they never forget How can they forget? How can they see when the mist of your deception Engulfs their perception? Eagles cry deep in the sky While hovering over naked smiles Happiness of young hearts snatched And onto the rock of Saturn smashed When selfish ambitions walks pompously in The corridors of their little love hearts Proclaiming fear in their ventricles Their pure first love you snatched Now they can’t love anymore because You vanished They counted their joy in you Gained their strength And admonished their girth Disappointingly, they’re broken And they can’t be mended Even glue a vague adhesive to bend. They cry, they bleat, they moan, they whine, they whimper and they wail Not because they choose to Or forced to But because they’re used to As their minds dredge up the joy your presence caused Searching and scouring for your return Your humble entry back into their hearts Not to mend but to build them again To say the truth They don’t smile anymore But they are drenched in fear When they see your resemblance They don’t smile because you took their smile Together with you when you left You took their peace And they live in fear Not fear of whom or what or where But fear of you And I only realize That your love was only counterfeit
