Jingalala! Poem by Deluke Muwanigwa

When i arrive
The street will become alive
They will be shocked
Whole neighbourhood rocked
Asking how we met
when the town is full of suitors
They will threaten violence
In the storm you stand fast
Thinking of the poetry we shared in the past
When we met in cyberspace
Verses without a face
Despite threats you pack your belongings
to satisfy your longings.
Realising you're serious
they will remember love is mysterious
And wait at your door
dowry on the floor
finally giving their blessings
And plan our wedding.
Jingalala!
