Njiba Kasonga Poet I do not know?

Nameless Drug

Like a star in Hollywood

I never thought I would

watch you like a TV screen

yet it makes me wanna scream.

So close, yet so far.

Makes me wanna raise the volume bar

only to get drunk as if I sat at a bar.

No, not just temporarily drunk

but addicted to you like a pill.

I would swallow you with passion.

Slowly, but precisely timed like a slam dunk.

One pill a day is what the prescription says

but you're too good I must say.

My diagnostic says I took an overdose

but I thought I was just getting started.

Who knew one pill could get me so high.

I think I almost touched the sky.

I am living on cloud 9

with no worries of what tomorrow holds.

It's sad that you're not over-the-counter

because ever since our encounter

I've seen you as my medicine,

making me happy and bold.

It's unfortunate however,

that like a star in Hollywood

I can only watch you on a TV screen

and hope one day I can make you mine.

But until then,

one pill at a time it is.
