Se Kwagh Ne! - Poem by Henry Kwaghkule



        Se Kwagh Ne!
   
Trees and flowers are awake now
Samba to silent tunes
Merriments everywhere
Singing and swinging,dancing and moving body
Like Swange dance
Sharing the beau of the cute day
Like doves making love in a sunny day
Sharing the perfect hours
That tangle for ages
Exchanging Indian flowers for mutual respect
Ringing the hands with golden rings
Singing marriage hymns of the 21st century
People watching them like a rejuvenated moon
Spraying holy chew water like dewdrops of August rain
In an August occasion
But
I tell you!
The game is sweet and bitter
No going back when you meet dark clouds
A long lasting relationship
No dust the union
Lay there a pillar
Lay there fruitful
Amidst the wails
But
I tell you!
Allow sears to cast spells of lies on you
But
I tell you!
Live a meaningful union
Harvest fruitful in your new life
I will samba always
Till undiscovered centuries

Kwaghkule, Henry D
