»The shadow of lust«

by Ntokozo A Rivombo, July 23, 2019

If only I could talk
And through your ears walk
Then you could hear the footsteps
Of regret echo through character mishaps
If I could only talk and walk , walk the talk.

Or could I have listened to the silence of order
Observed carefully and louder
Only then, would I not ponder
And within heart grown fonder
If ever lust’s gold, I wonder.
