Poetry Bulawayo

Love me: Take a moment to show me you care Do something extraordinarily nice if you dare Or something simple to let me know you're there Your gift or act does not have to be expensive or rare Just something thoughtful and personal that we can share Hate me: Let me know that in your heart I have found no place Spare not don’t disguise the truth by some act of civil grace But shoot straight and tell it to my face Fear not that I may suffer shame, dishonour or disgrace Let me know without a doubt or lingering trace That I may not waste anymore of your time or take up your precious space. Just don't ignore me... Do either between loving and hating But please don’t leave me in limbo... waiting In an empty communication vacuum without relating Cause that would be a death sentence, a slow suffocating

Over the seas of temptation, - Past the many wildernesses of confusion – Under the clouds of despair, through thick mists of jealousy, By the fields of hatred. Above winds of fear, Beside tides of betrayal, Across gorges of deceit, There is no Worry, sorrow, anxiety, For I am led Lovingly, closely, truly By my Father’s hand.
