Analysis of Dear letter
Merdi Bakembo 2003 (Matadi)
This is to the fingers that
has carresed my cheeks
to the arms that has
embraced me
and the lips that has kissed me
to the eyes that has
beholded my beauty
to the ears that has
gotten used to my voice
to the nose that adores my fragrance
and the being that yearns
for my presence
to the heart that craves
for its better half
to the mind that can't stop thinking of me
and this is to the love of my life
