Dear Music

Garth Rakumakoe

Do not leave me

Be present even when light

abandons me

Hear the unheard lonely cry

of cowardice, amid tearful cheers

from the proud podiums

of my heroisms

 

Look into my inequities

Engage my insecurities

Feel the treble

in my tremor

and save me

from the dark pitfalls

of my fears

 

Set free my captive infirmities

no one sees,

and parachute courageously

beyond cliffs

of untold possibilities

with me

 

Sieving my true identity

from the tangled threads

of my mind in the hands

of my own reflection

longing to sing

its own solo;

Be my shadow             

 

Question my soul's wandering

and ask it my name

to see if it has ever met me

Tell me the distance to other side

to the man standing in wait for me

Urge me

to make it before sunset

lest I have missed my own becoming

when you lie with me

in my stillness

      No music, no life, though I think this poem takes us on a deeper journey.
      You have a rare gift for words.

      • Garth Rakumakoe

        Absolutely, good Sir. Music saves lives. Life itself, is musical in abstract and plain perspectives. #Gratitude.

        An absolutely stunning piece, Garth. Your love for music is evident in the way you penned this piece, and your love for poetry is shown in the way your words just flow through this piece...From the soul.
