Ronny Madonsela Poet Rhyme

Lovelos

A real african women
I was but a boy
Bewildered by her beauty
This love deemed sickly
By those other men

Her eyes saw nothing but my 
soul
And in there dwelled a man
Trapped as a child
I enslaved by time
That i could never fold

The illusion of love slipping from
my fingers
That we couldn't be lovers
Drowns me to no end
As all I am now is a friend
Inlove with a mirage of you.

Keith Bickerstaffe May 20, 2012 at 5:09 PM There is nothing more saddening than a love that can never be... a lovely poem, Ronny, written with passion and tenderness. Best wishes, Keith

Connie Marcum Wong May 16, 2012 at 1:17 PM The heart feels no age, it is only the body that may keep one from love if the age difference is too vast. I have had these same feelings and wished I had been born sooner. Lovely poem. Mahalo, Lotus

Jay Loveless May 16, 2012 at 7:01 AM Another powerful piece. Your desire and torture from thoughts of that unclaimed position ring true. They say that it is never to late for anything to happen. Perhaps you can win that woman over....ps. thanks for the comments

David Williams May 9, 2012 at 12:18 PM Ronny lost love just sucks..David Ronny Madonsela May 10, 2012 at 3:16 AM yes thats always the case.

Elizabeth Wesley May 8, 2012 at 5:24 PM Very special sharing of feelings that one has no control over. Being human is such a mystery sometimes I think. I wonder if this is your memory? Ronny Madonsela May 9, 2012 at 6:33 AM yes, when i wrote this poem i wanted to broaden that feeling so many people can fill in the blanks and relate to their story of the same nature
