Raynolds Moseamedi Poet I do not know?

My Dream

I had a dream once
One that included me rich and happy
I laughed about it sure but I had it
It actually felt real and inspiring 
You were my bride in a home of a beautiful pride
A pride with two little me and two little you
We had our fights, but we loved each other truly  
We were still planning of where to go but we got delayed
So we stayed, 
We lost that burning desire and we never went

Yes, I had a dream once
One so hard to forget and it kills me of that I am sure
I had people who cared for me, those I cared for
I prayed so deeply for a bunce 
'twas all too good for a child living in a village
And yes out of my dreams I saw you in the village square 
Wearing like something out of my poor village judgements 
Feeling wreck-less and high spirited I called your name appraisingly 
And your giggle said two words that shot me with a sweet swindle
My eyes opened and you were not where I thought you to be

All that I saw was myself in a hut
Surrounded by grasses for a roof on top of mud
Of course I had a dream once, when I was fourteen 
I think of it everyday, now that I am eight-teen
I see butterflies all over my nights floating above the stars 
Your face is glued in my heart through all available chambers
It is all of course a dream I had when I was young 
A story I made myself believe knowing I am wasting my life
It was all wonderful when I had you for a wife
I have enjoyed it impeccably but I have to wake up
I am grown man now, old enough to wear the village crown
The sun shines on me with nothing but a smile
I have to live in the day now, I am not betraying my child hood
To say the truth it really felt good,
Maybe one day when I am still poor and lonely, I will return to you.
