For all the times when the world will ask too much of me,
On long nights when I can’t fall asleep,
I will place my head on your chest,
Your heartbeat will be the sweetest lullaby to me.
As I gently write the words “I love you”,
Across the left side of your chest with my finger,
Recalling everything that we made it through,
We can only do right, to let this moment linger.
I’ll walk with you every day,
I’ll hold your hand whenever I may.
I will walk with you through your deepest insecurities,
Together will confront your deepest fears.
Reminding you with every step, that I still care,
That every single day, I’ll be here.
I long to feel your beard against my face,
To run my fingers from your ears down to your neck,
To rest my hand on your chest,
As you wrap me in your arms,
And overwhelm your scent.
Because in this world,
Where everyone is struggling to get this love thing right,
I can’t wait to look at you and say “We found the light”.
We have learnt to trust, we have learnt to love,
We? We got it right!

For some people, especially those with vivid imaginations, it is difficult to express themselves conventionally. There’s simply too much to say, too many ways in which to describe a single item, too many colors, too many sounds. For those people, there is poetry. | Born, raised and living in Africa. | Art lover (In all it's forms) | Hopeless romantic. | Believes in making the world a better place; one thought, one word, one action at a time.
Ndapewoshali is an accountant and Namibian labour law specialist by profession, a self-taught graphic designer and avid community activist. She uses writing to tackle (sometimes uncomfortable) social issues with the hope of transforming the Namibian and the global community’s mindset on the current status quo. Ndapewoshali believes that love, as a verb (through kindness, patience, common understanding and tolerance), consistent education and reform, are the answers for all social, economic and political ills. She is also a strong advocate for mental health awareness and the importance of creating a safe environment in which mental health is prioritized and mental illness is destigmatized. Ndapewoshali is an art-loving (in all its forms), hopeless romantic who believes in making the world a better place; one thought, one word, one action at a time.
