nirvana (purple bears) [Alt. title: Thandazela uthando]

nirvana (Thandazela uthando)

You were something to me
like what rainwater is to plant life

Ngiyagcwala nge smile sakho
ungi pressa nge remote
Muting any scampering rational thought because
soy'2 siyazi this is illegal

You are to me
similar to what the djembe drum is to idlozi
What fresh vegetables are to a vegetarian no'mkhozi

Sing me your rusty lullabies
draw me into your cave
and seduce me into deep dreamless sleep

Seal it with a kiss...
I want the one with lips that taste like your sweetest idea of death

Tell no one that you were my muse that I misused
The missus I misused
