Thabang Ngoma Poet Rhyme

Surrender To the Meander

The gentle river that flows through your fingers
Your untameable spirit that panthers with power
To your subtle flow to oceans of hidden treasure
I surrender on a trickle of a wave to your meander

I dreamt of a blanket that had me warm with desire
It was the yawn of a hippo that soothed me over
I looked for you through the eyes of a crocodile’s hunger
And saw your deep longing for its spiral cover

You opened your mouth to the sea like a snake
Your tail at the horizon ahead, had a rattle to shake 
A beautiful sunset along the landscape to shape
A memory of a journey over time and rock to the cape

Here you are finally, by my side, as I sit and ponder
About the tree that your delta inconspicuously anchors
And we end up here, from a shallow stream to ripe peaches, 
Surrounded by a gentle breeze atop the highest branches
