Before I See You

By 
Gilbert 
Mapengo 
Mwanguku

I 
imprignate 
my 
mind 
with 
illusions
weighing 
the 
naked 
reality 
of 
imaginations
sipping 
sweet 
spirits 
into 
my 
veins
before 
I 
choke 
in 
this 
black 
smoke
before 
I 
throw 
my 
heart 
in 
a 
burning 
cage
before 
I 
unveil 
the 
true 
colours 
of 
a 
hungry 
lion
do 
not 
let 
me 
fall 
in 
abyss 
of 
stress
leave 
me 
with 
one 
precious 
word 
in 
my 
vocabulary
one 
word 
to 
sail 
me 
through,to 
the 
very 
end
one 
word 
indeed, 
LOVE
