Imbokodo
Ngoba uyimbokodo
Itshe ekudala linethwa izimvula, liphephethwa iziphepho
Wena uyisikhali samavaka
Ngiyaye ngimangale usuvumbuka emadolobheni abomthetho besimele ngenjoloba
Yeyi wena mbokodo!
Mina ngiyabuncoma ubuhle bakho
Ngiyakubona usuyindilinga kahle engathi ibhola lombhoxo
Inqakala yami imhlophe nje, ukwenza kwakho mbokodo
Abantu baphila nje, izinyanga zigaya ngawe imithi yokubelapha
Iyababazeka imisebenzi yakho uma usukhulile
Phela usuke usuyidwala elingenakunyakaziswa, uyindlovu kayihlehli
Noxamu sebelethamela kuwena ilanga
Imifula ikugudla, omame bomisela kuwena izimpahla
Ngiyadabuka ngabakwenza khona ososayensi befuna ukwakha imigwaqo namadolobha
Mina ngiyakuthanda kanti futhi uyohlale uyimbokodo yekhethelo kimina
Autumn
High but not so strong was the morning sun
A later rise and earlier set, has all of nature adjusting their clocks
Dew glistens on the knife like blades of grass
Birds chirp to the beat of the concrete jungle, oblivious to the depravity of space
A sigh of relief breathed from the overture of heat
Trees begin to shed their green garments opting for a rather rusty look with hues of browns, yellows and reds
A crisp Autumnal breeze hits my face
The smell of a new beginning, the smell of Autumn
The Moon
I wonder why the “Wolf” howls at you ?
Is it an ancient celestial language which speaks of love so true ?
Or is it a deep saddened longing of one day returning home to you ?
Could our sister the Moon be the source of female energy,
which miraculously makes things new ?
In the fullness of her beauty, she tenderly reminds me
that the World is bound together in Love,
We share the same Blue Home
and faithfully send prayers for healing
UP - to that Ethereal Mystery dome.
At night when the World’s content to Dream,
I search the sky for a silvery Beam !
It’s as though my Soul won’t rest,
without a bedtime kiss of
Heavenly pale blue Moonlight !
So close your eyes and drift away –
Let your mind rest peacefully,
in the comfort of your “Wolf” Heart’s knowing
that the Moon watches over us tonight !
A STAR
A beautiful creature of them all
A pretty little thing in the present of eyes
Huge is your size in the sky
Hug is what I need from you
How beautiful and pretty are you?
How attractive you are?
You always bring joy, light and shine
You are always perfect at all times
You shine through the darkness,
You even shine at light
At night, you become natural
At day, you are there always
On one can come near you
No one can touch nor reach you
Your unreachable and untouchable
Your remarkable, strongest and adorable
Your magnificent five sides,
That represent a handful take five
Beautiful creature,
perfect STAR
A STAR
A beautiful creature of them all
A pretty little thing in the present of eyes
Huge is your size in the sky
Hug is what I need from you
How beautiful and pretty are you?
How attractive you are?
You always bring joy, light and shine
You are always perfect at all times
You shine through the darkness,
You even shine at light
At night, you become natural
At day, you are there always
On one can come near you
No one can touch nor reach you
Your unreachable and untouchable
Your remarkable, strongest and adorable
Your magnificent five sides,
That represent a handful take five
Beautiful creature,
perfect STAR
3 little butterfly’s
3 little butterfly's
As white as snow
flying past my window
Again and again
Turning circles up and down
holding all the joy in the world
going again and again
following winds course out of sight
following the rhythm
and enjoying their life
Enchanting my eyes
just like a dream
You came past my life
Bringing joy to my sight
3 little butterfly's came into my life
Fragile Earth
A Fragile Earth
Amongst the infinite cosmos
Revolving in the galaxy
Spinning its path around the sun
The earth sits; our planet
Attracted by its glory, its power, its life
Earth spins round and round again
It orbits around the great star:
The sun; our light
But this star has caused us problems
By no fault of its own
As we let pollutants crowd inside
Our atmosphere; the air
Nothing in life is truly free
Though it may appear so
The cost for modern way
Is the earth; our home
As the glaciers are melting
As trees are chopped, one by one
We start to lose the beauty
That’s been given; our land
As the sea levels rise, we live in worry
Of what will happen to those by the ocean
In the devastation caused by floods,
We lose what really matters; our lives
Disease levels are increasing
Around the world because
The air we breathe is contaminated
So we loose those we love; our family
The fate of the planet
Lies in our own hands
If the earth is not saved
It’s because of us; our fault
By planting a tree,
You become part of the green force
One small effort is all that’s needed
To save the earth; our life
Luminocity
Lunate by fearsome fire glow,
in womb of spangled stars.
It breathes to life nocturnal youth,
of Venus and of Mars.
Binnacle of wayward Sun,
it once was thought to be.
The guilded orb that looms above,
which cast the tides to sea.
Men may never see it's true,
arcane angelic light.
That humbles our misguided land,
from dusk till end of night.
Left Alone
Sometimes it feels like nobody cares
and all I get is distant stares
I go through the week feeling lonely
hoping and waiting for someone to reach me
There are so many things I still want to do
but I feel as if I'll never be able to do them without you
Why did you leave me here all alone
you could have at least once picked up the phone
Have you ever stopped to think what you've actually done
leaving me here alone pregnant with your son!
After you left I felt so hurt and betrayed
but it seems as if your not even the slightest bit fazed
How can you just forget about something you helped make
cant you see that you're making a mistake
One day you're ganna see your beautiful son
and I'm sure your ganna regret what you've done
Even though everything has gone all wrong
i'm going to try and stay strong
Right now it feels as if things will never be okay
but all I can do is hope and pray.
Water
The spirit of life,
spreads everywhere,
to all corners of our globe.
Rain, mist, fog, snow,
form lakes, rivers,
babbling running brooks;
the carriers of life’s soul
life’s bountiful
identity and joy.
Without it,
grasses brown,
trees rot and fall,
no leaves, flowers,
seeds, or fruit;
no shade, no scent,
no colour, food.
Animals, people, die;
no creatures great or small.
Deserts of want appear
no life or giving;
there is a thirst upon the land.
In time, all will wither,
wilt, rot and die.
Then a dirt, an ash
a sandy earth of want,
no open hand,
all life has gone.
More valuable than gold,
a treasure for us all.
use wisely, it is life.
All used up; We die!
