Poetry Bulawayo

If ever there was anything more beautiful than life It would never exist. If ever there was anyone more beautiful than you They would be a liar. If ever there was a dream that was more real than us It would be insane. You make my wings grow out of my back And you make me soar above the skies To places unknown that I never thought existed. If ever there was a poem truer than this It would never be. The only truth I know to be, That pumps oxygen into my being Is that you and I are born from love. That no one can ever strip away from our very souls.

The thief ambled round the palace garden. He had a lion face, and cobra eyes; You couldn't fear him anywhere. He appeared as a Chief; he put on a crown and robe And sat on the throne as a Chief And the elders said: 'What a lamb face he has, what dove eyes! How clever he looks! You could fear him anywhere!' The thief was sitting on the throne as the chief He had a lamb face and dove eyes; You could fear him anywhere. He appeared as a thief; he put on thief's clothes - full of pockets And ambled round the palace garden. And the elders said: 'What a lion face he has, what cobra eyes! How foolish he looks! You couldn't fear him anywhere!'
