We had found each other


We had found each other in November's heat

Ready to make a scene

It was the sound of  December Drum Beat

That brought us to our feet

It was not obscene

We were dancing not commiting a sin

The rain had not fallen that year

The gods where the ones commiting a sin

The heat was more than we could bear

Without water our crops had failed

Defeat was all the elders cold hear

Us the children danced our hunger away

Our own sweat quenched out thirst

We had nothing worry or fear

Dance till  it rains

Wash away your pains

By the rain dance.

Ever since I learnt how to write I never stopped writing short stories, poems and ideas. I am from Africa living in South Africa, Joburg. I am a business man with a love for music and writing. Its lovely how a poem can be turned into a song. Rhythm and Words are my closest friends. I respect The Sound of Life and the power in following your Heart which makes Music till the day you die.
