»My Comfort- For Sis' Mpumi«
Ten hours away
Away from home
I hope that eventually
I will taste eternal peace
In the still of the night,
While the city is fast asleep
Fooling me of it's non existing serenity
I'm floating lazily within my sleep
I remain half asleep,
half awake
The uncertainity of tomorrow
fuelled by the flaws of untraceable yesterdays,
result to this breathing yet paralysed corpse,
an ejaculation sourced from a dangerous mind
The consistent chants of Jacaranda trees, dominates,demands my full attention and suddenly blows away the ghostly silence that has been decorating my room with nothing but empty hot vapours of insecurities
I could hear the buzz of a fly passing by
Flickering in the dark, I forced my eyes to open up,to see, to engage.
My brains to selectively analyse , my ears to listen and my soul to be still
In the middle of the dense darkness
I could touch your smile
I could smell your sensitivity
Your honesty
Your commitment to our sacred relationship
My heart was fully pumped with assurance that in this,
We are together
You might not be with me physically now,always,atmost,at all times
But
You are within me
You are my comfort
You are my cushion,
My delicacy and with you living in me, I know I will find peace within me, through you.
Away from home

I will taste eternal peace
