First Time I loved By Tumi Mpholwane

When the world of juvenile welcomed me

I was acquainted to absurd entities

When I first loved

I gave my flash and spirit devoted and entirely to the control of love

But it shattered me

Wrenched my youth away

And darkened the brightness of life

I had only entered the permissible generation

When i altered with an inch from death

Tumi Mpholwane

I was pinpointed with the uneased sickness

Twinkling in my sheets day light

Teeth shoved outside and eyes on the forehead

Having to face reality

My life was blown in a second
