Helplessly, I watch as our great romance disappears
and silently I mourn the closing credits of our best years.
I’m clinging to what could,should and would have been,
replaying our life and meticulously analysing every scene
and looking for clues and omens that led us to this poignant moment.
Uncomfortably I sit in the presence of dismay and disappointment.
Refiloe Khumo fell in love with poetry in 2007. She took a hiatus from poetry for a couple years due to personal reasons. During her hiatus she gained knowledge about the world and herself. This knowledge is represented in some of her poems and allows her to reimagine reality.
