My thoughts on her ..

SponsoredBulelani Goqwana
the mood spectrum is at giggles after a night out 
we walk through the door in a convoy bound by each other’s hands 
so scary that moments like these convince you, it’s mythical being sad
having made it past the habit forming memories of my past 
40 days and 40 nights, almost an annum has gone past 
once again, I feel my life can restart
you and I, get to rebuild from Noah’s Ark
no more miserable muddy cold winter floods in this Khayelitsha 
feeling like the last man and woman alive, we create our own culture 

i look and smile at you 
you smile beautifully back, captured in your yellow hood 
mayday, the mellow yellow just shot me down 
they say shoot your shot while your crush’s in town
recently returning from rehab, the entire winter in Paris 
my first encounter back seems like one to cherish 

i sit on the couch, you crawl into my arms 
i act like a clown, you fall into my charms 
now there’s butterflies in my tummy 
i now know why lovers keep saying honey 
the sweet space is sending senses very warm and comfy
admirably, my eyes and fingertips observe your every - body
led by the tune of the music i glide my tips across your skin, slowly 
little goosebumps that form on the horizon of your skin are showing 
i come across decorations and marks that tell a thousand stories 
much symbolism for narration but, I wait for it to unfold before me 
several simple sips of some left over wine,  
steadily, safely, start to speak your insides
moved by these insights, i overflow my insides 
and pour out a bit for festivities and securities 
feeling freely forgetting fuck-loads of insecurities 

you stare into my eyes 
moments later i realize is 
having focused reciting life’s deepest lines 
the vibes are heightened, the chill and wines 
i gaze back at you 
un-work the maze 
in awe of amazement 
my head leans in to kiss you
holding you satisfies me like i’ve missed you
our lips touch in the comfort of soft tissue
i get why Adam bit that Apple from Eve
gripping me so tightly like lingerie on a wedding evening  
how the chemistry is making bonds is a pleasant mystery 
from good girl gone bad to the sequel of naughty mistress

it’s a festivity full of your fragrances 
something i couldn’t get over messenger
taking private rides as your passenger 
i’m seeing all your hidden passages 
as you narrate them in seductive packaging
wine frees our minds, brewing sexual ageing 
flavors follow from my nose to navigate your body

i stroke your thighs then continue to kiss them slowly 
your canvas opens nice and wide for my tongues motion
i pick a brush for the perfect strokes 
i lay down different colours into your soul
and i use a special brush to slowly stroke
in-sync n’ rhythm, pace rises to intense flow
with my veins now popping out for show
the heat, all the smoke; the moment grips you in choke
defying drought you make a mess on me 
busted the myth of day zero conspiracies 

you and i together just end the worlds tragedies
u.n.i.t.y, love a black woman, infinity to infinity
the meaningful moans make me weak as I send arrows 
like an archer with a cross bow in your shadows 
my soul stays snatched within the same shadows
