In a Perfect World

IN A PERFECT WORLD!

What one can only but wish to be her reality 
A lit tunnel of happiness
Eyes glistening on her melanin
Cocoa-butter one with its bud 
Like Eve I knew you are complete as I am of your flesh 
No treason,
The garden of Eden yet to be pruned 

What one can only wish…. 
That her tears baptise in matrimony 
Water seeds and bring joy
Gas ball of triumph
THE SUN
It will lead us to never dark days
Nights forever warm 
And time for-ever still
Ageing like fine wine 
We’ll have our roots threading through vines  
Holding on tight never saying goodbyes

Yes! 
There will be loadshedding, where the day freezes, time moves and all we’ll have is the moon.
But like day and night 
Black and white 
All I’ll have 
We will have 
Is 
You 
And 
I.
