Dear mama

DEAR MAMA

Did you ever sleep a wink till the blooming of a soft dawn

Or virgil apportioning lullabies to the solitude of a toddler's sleep?

At the verge of a breezing sunset in early July

As the birds sang farewell of the glorious sun

Did your canticles perennated the launching of the night?

Larking every morning with a dulceous and fair face

Your hair pomaded cajoling a downpour of a piercing beauty

As life awakes and tugs it's weight at your hopes

Your eyes as if swabbed with a diamond kerchief,

unglazed despite your whole-night vigilance

The hub of a sweet home rolling steadily the wheels of life

Verily, Dad's eyes javenlined well aware the pearl of the planet

Did he ever tried fobbing off the trust of your adorant feminine?

I would quickly fortune to disown his title this very time

Need you not clot your heart with fear but confide in my protection

For in the salons of the world your wishes I'll grant

Should hustle fly me to the moon and never return me back

A diabolical nostalgic ache shall violently kill me alive

I won't tread shortcut courses to gain your name reputation

So, at this fraction of my writing-you-a-letter

Wherever you're, I just wanna salute you, my Queen

Praise Mk Nkhoma

DEAR MAMA
