For her

Adéle de Villiers 1984 (Cape Town)

Free verse
She cooks
She writes
She loves me right

She plays the piano
She plays the violin
She really is, everything …

She makes me laugh
She makes me whole
Oh what a beautiful fucking soul

Shes my favourite human
Shes my daily smile
Her number is the only one … on speed dial

Her name is Kim
Her heart is mine
Oh how we met at the perfect time

About this poem

This poem is for my girlfriend. We met at a rooftop restaurant by chance more than 2 years ago. We both got divorced the same year, the same time in our healing journey before meeting. Our lives and childhood stories were lived in parallel but we have never met until that random day.
