»Virgin heart«

by Sbulelo Sbonelo Mahlangu, October 18, 2016

Between those cracks of stone,
Lies what was a heart.
With those tears to wipe its existence!
That river will never be filled!
Those pieces will never again meet!
That heart...
Will never be at peace...

»The Accident«

In that midst, I see death / In that sight it's eyeing me... / I'm not dead, / And that's what frightens me / Few more seconds / And that would've been me / Them, us; it would've been me! / Just a few more secs. / He would've been dead / But he's not, / And that's what make him mad / Just a few more secs  sign in to read more »
