My first kiss

Brown eyes hair covered with dust, We were standing at the edge while my country lust

For freedom ends, the sky was grey

Fumes all over our surrounding

Almost the perfect love scene

Rubber bullets raining and we couldn’t run

That’s when I held you close to me

Is better now than late

Place my dusty dry lips while trying to grasp my air

On your forever beautiful lips

The background song , yai yaiyai asi ba sabi

I didn’t care for those seconds I had you in the palm of my hands

Ahhhh my first kiss during the release of Nelson Mandela

Mwaaaa a silence one and we were dirty playing manhlwane

While the others rallied to union building with the cops behind them

It was a kiss of dust in the mist of freedom, eyelashes covered with hope

It was a kiss that embedded on my mind and heart

It was my first kiss mwaaaaahhhhh!
