Tears of Love

By Gilbert Mapengo Mwanguku Hey! My ebony princess The destiny of my heart The path of my flowing passion of love Engulfed in flames of hope I felt tall like sapitwa But I was just a little bird Flapping my wings at a highest point above You sang I danced Lyrics with patches and scratches Oh yes! I was blind Letting you prey and play in my circles But I would be a fool to fool you I blame my arrogance and ignorance For trying to hatch eggs I did not lay My love left dangling With agape souls of desire Reminiscing your fatal smiles, the first impression As I shed these tears of love
