[you]topia

Kabelo O. Ntamane 2002 (Matatiele)

Blank verse
life was a lot simpler then
when all we did was
run straight into the rushing wind
and feel it as it slaps our faces
or walk the streets during autumn
and witness mother nature
as she withers away
i wonder if you miss those days
or if you still remember
the moments we once shared
even a couple of solemn weeks after
our raging inferno was put off
by feelings beyond our understanding

About this poem

Kabelo O. Ntamane

Student, writer and aspiring photographer. Kabelo (born 20 June) has been writing expressive poems from the age of fourteen.

This style of writing stems from one of his most favourite poets, Rupi Kaur. Kabelo shies away from term "poet" or "writer," referring to himself as "a young fellow that journals in stanzas, rhythms and rhyme schemes." Although his poems do not have a very specific genre, it is needless to say that they would fit the "self-expression" genre perfectly had there been such a genre. more…
