A FAINT HEART
By Tapiwa N. Maseko
A faint heart
Never find a fair lady
On my proposal to receive a negative result
I am always ready
I don’t waste my time to ask eh!
When failure has fallen on plan A
I try from plan B up to Z
Probably in the long run, I will find a rose bed
Today I have hit the drum
Maybe tomorrow good chance will come
To be persistent to the same
With no fear or shame
I can’t turn to another
The purpose is to win her as my lover
Maybe she is looking for seriousness
Of my love sickness
I will just cling to my want
Like branches to the stem of the plant
Then eventually she will have no choice
Rather to my proposal to send a positive response
I know no pain
No gain
And giving up never
But forward ever
I don’t admit to failure
Just as simple as saying Amen in response to pastor’s Hallelujah
That’s why I send consecutive futile proposals
Because I know persistence brings success

Tapiwa Maseko Poem
LOVE BLINDNESS
By Tapiwa N. Maseko
It is really true
That love is blind
Because there is no clue
Used to bind
Two hearts and not three
Into one good bond
That makes the most eluded
To be the most wanted
The one with defect
To look so perfect
Yes there is no clue, rather than blindness
Of great love
Something peculiar with the defect
Sometimes it does not have eternal impact
The defect is understandable
Because in some cases it is curable
When your blindness halts
When your love evaporates
It is the time to regret
The choice for you did opt
When the love from your heart vanishes
All the feelings turn into ashes
Like they are in burning furnace
From your lover’s face
No more you see beauty flashes
But the scars
That your heart deters

Tapiwa Maseko Poem
DONT WORRY MUCH
BY TAPIWA N. MASEKO
Don’t worry much
About his or her love evaporation
On it don’t make a suicide suggestion
It is part of your life exploration
Perchance
There comes a good chance
That your heart will catch
Don’t worry much
When love breach
Comes before death ends the love match
Maybe you started to date but your hearts do not match
Don’t worry much when love is so brief
Maybe it is giving a chance to date with your to be wife
Don’t worry much when love so soon does end
Maybe it is paving a way for your to be husband
Don’t worry much when your lover is gone
To you it has to be known
That she is not your heart’s queen
Hence not fit for the crown
Don’t worry much when love from your lover’s heart stops to spring
That is not your heat’s king
Hence not fit to monopolize the sphere of influence
In your heart’s province
Don’t worry much when your lover his or her love to you stops to deliver
Maybe that will be the reference
From where you will draw every difference
On the qualities of good or bad lover
Based on your experience

Tapiwa Maseko Poem
NO MORE TO TRY AGAIN
By Tapiwa N. Maseko
At first my heart was filled with every sweet-talk
It was so prompted in a love walk
Because of your immaculate face
That propelled many people including I, myself to be in a love race
I didn’t know that your heart is a temporally love place
If I knew at first time in your love I couldn’t prance.
No more to try again
Because it left me in great pain
It perished everything good from your heart I did gain
I didn’t understand when your love stated to wane
The question which was hovering in my mind was “Since when?”
Our love was so luminous which could surpass the light that sun brings
Our love was so fly then why did you cut its wings
Because yours withered like a leaf
I have known that love is just a myth
I was thinking that it was during “Golden age” of our love
But it was the same year your love I started to starve.
It was a tragedy of life
To lose somebody who was to be my wife
Hence I agree to this saying
“Girls have to be loved but not trusted because for trust is
Only word which ought to be found in the vocabulary but
Not in the heart of a person.
I can claim
No more that I will try again.
