Tatenda Gonorashe Poems
- 1. Sharlene - Time For A New Quirk
I was roaming in the streets of turmoil
Sauntering in the labyrinth of falsehood
Nestled in the feminine cloaks of hood-rats
When I suddenly stopped, in response to a voice
... - 2. The Boil - A Public Secret
It emerged as a negligible pimple just beside my privates
I scratched the alien mercilessly and I thought I had finished it
The following morning it had gained momentum, bombshell!
Developed into something too big to be called a pimple
... - 3. The Propagandist Upstairs
Whenever I tie my shoelaces to accomplish something
Every time I want to take a significant step in my life
I hear echoes of menaces whimpering inside my cranium
An unseen voice whispering to me that I cannot make it
... - 4. She Was Cool
I loved her more than she could imagine
Esteemed her more than she could envision
She was my reverie from the moment we did chance
But I was nestled in masks of fear and pretense
...
