A Letter To My Distant Lover
A LETTER TO MY DISTANT LOVER
Dear friend,
I wish a gentle wind could rise from my deep self
and blow towards you humming my deepest wishes
on freely swaying tree branches
along the cool banks of a river which neighbors your home
and perhaps the birds nesting on a forest hunching above the river
would compose them into madrigals
and go perch on a Mosu tree by your home; singing for you
I wish an evening offshore breeze could carry my wishes along
through the gentle nights of Ramotswa towards you
and invade your midnight dreams
Dear friend, I always long to see you again
and sit there with you just to while away time
I, secretly scanning for love through lenses of your eyes
Your distant lover
Signed.
