			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#039;ve been a light in my life since you&#039;ve been born a year ago<br />
You&#039;ve made me dream for you, dreams that i&#039;ve lost for myself<br />
Hope that i&#039;ve lost for myself<br />
I now have for you<br />
That one day you&#039;ll be happy beyond measure<br />
An abundant life filled with family and friends<br />
Life, love and light<br />
Those are my wishes for you<br />
The things i never had<br />
You&#039;re so perfect little guy<br />
A beautiful work of heart, God&#039;s<br />
When you smile, every little hurt, every little pain that life has brought my way<br />
Melts away, like it was never there<br />
You&#039;re just as amazing as your mom</p>
<p>Love you always<br />
Aunty Nat</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>MY SUICIDIDE NOTE</p>
<p>Believe it or not, my life ends with this poem<br />
Every word, is my flesh and your understanding my bone<br />
I write this poem for you to read,<br />
hopefully you&#039;ll understand the reason my pen bleeds<br />
Maybe I&#039;ll pass-out as I&#039;m writting this<br />
Casualty on duty like a crook<br />
Death gives me dirty looks<br />
For only God judge me &#8211; I&#039;m an open book<br />
To whomever finds this note<br />
I beg you to quote<br />
That I took my life without a gun,a rope<br />
Poison not even a slit throat<br />
I simply picked my pen&#8230;&#8230;<br />
And wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is no wound deeper that the one from the dagger of love.<br />
I watch my lover departs, leaving this drained soul drowning in the tears of sorrow.<br />
Mixed emotions flow through my veins.<br />
Strange, I had a hand in engraving this huge dagger into my heart,<br />
and only when it was removed did I realize the extent of damage created.<br />
Forgive me, how can I not fall for thee when you wear such a smile?</p>
<p>I am drenched in this black water from the dam of empty hearts.<br />
Rinse my skin with your tears of joy.<br />
I live in hope and belief that for once we&#039;ve met so we should meet again in a while,<br />
and that day will be blessed for that I would heal and mend my soul with your smile.</p>
<p>I am but pleased you are gone, gone with the wind into the&nbsp;&nbsp;skies.<br />
Only I know how you will land, that land I despair the most, that land of gold<br />
so old and bold sends cold shivers down my spine.<br />
Keep your heart veiled with love because I will let mine bleed on your name.<br />
So please stay true to the game, come back and wipe the lame off my face,<br />
and put a new taste in my mouth.</p>
<p>Be brave young man so I tell myself, climb out of that grave of sorrow,<br />
and pave the way for tomorrow until this crave for your touch is conquered.<br />
Until your palm touches the skin of my heart and brings calm to this chaotic heart of juvenile emotions.<br />
When you eventually bless me with your presence this feeling will blast off like volcanic larva,<br />
and spill on your cheeks in tears that only you can see.<br />
Grace this place and mind your pace as you take your place in my heart.</p>
<p>So this is what you feel when you love,<br />
this is what you feel when the love goes,<br />
this that you feel is sad but dont feel bad this love will be back,<br />
and you will continue on the same track, the track that leads to the mountains of joy.<br />
The track that leads to Mount Everlasting, leaving the pack behind.<br />
So this that is gone is already here, so don&#039;t be sad be glad.<br />
This that I feel so sadly is love and this love is for you.<br />
My heart is healed and the sorrow is killed, the future is to be lived.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Xanti.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Kwazekwakuhle kokwethu,<br />
Yini na le ndiyibonayo ngathi yimbelukazi?<br />
Lucwayi-cwayi madoda olunqoqho ngathi lufukamile.<br />
Ulusu lusulungekile ngath&#039; uhlamba ngobisi.<br />
Untushu-ntushu ngathi ukhule ngezapholo.<br />
Wondliwe nini na wasuka wangaka?<br />
Uqinqwe njani na wena wasuka wangenaphoso?<br />
Vala lo mlomo ngowokugabh&#039; ihlazo.<br />
Thula uthi tu ndizam&#039; ukuqiqa?<br />
Ze uthi ndakuphunyelwa ngumphefumlo undifake olwakh&#039; uthando.<br />
Ze undilinde ndilibophe elihashi ngathi linempene.</p>
<p>Kwekhu, ndomelezeni madoda ndihlasele.<br />
Nal&#039; ixhalanga lothando livel&#039; iphango phambi kwam.<br />
Nal&#039; ikroti lixhaph&#039; umhlabelo lizomelezile.<br />
Nak&#039; uzothile edubul&#039; okwenkang&#039; entwasahlobo.<br />
Ndivike ngenxeba sele undigqibezela.<br />
Bambelela Gqobansi mfondini kuthand&#039; ukuthambeka.<br />
Nak&#039; ugweb&#039; ixhala enikezela ngochulumanco.<br />
Nazi ingelosi zezulu zibumbene kulomphefumlo.<br />
Gcina intliziyo yam esifubeni sakho.<br />
Khunubembe, sadan&#039; isono ligwetyiw&#039; uvalo, thina siceb&#039; ingqaka.<br />
Uthethil&#039; uJotela zingachithw&#039; intente.<br />
Ndikholiwe okwam kufana nokubhaliweyo.<br />
Esam isiphetho sakugqitywa nguwe.<br />
Ndondle ngamehlo akho ndixole.<br />
Ndegram &#8211; iyho.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Xanti

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Stilte was ‘n vriend in tye van verwarring<br />
Stilte was ‘n kussing as my kop swaar was<br />
Stilte was ‘n ma toe die trane nie wou stop nie<br />
Stilte het nog nooit met my hart geargumenteer nie</p>
<p>Maar&nbsp;&nbsp;stilte is nou onkeerbaar<br />
Daar is soveel stemme om my<br />
Klinkende, hol geluide<br />
Konsonante, leeg met wat eens beloftes was<br />
Ek is opgesuig in die stilte<br />
Ek sluk en stik en rek my nek<br />
maar niks<br />
Dit loop net in en vul my longe op<br />
ek kan nie skree nie, ek kan nie roep nie,<br />
ek kan net bid en bid en bid<br />
en hoop</p>
<p>Stilte is alleen<br />
Stilte s&ecirc; ek is oud, te oud vir my vel<br />
Stilte maak my ondankbaar<br />
Stilte maak my bang</p>
<p>Hoe word my woorde ingesluk<br />
deur iets wat geen geluid maak nie<br />
Hoor my, HOOR MY<br />
Asseblief</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Quando dizer se for dito!</p>
<p>A verdade nunca &eacute; dita verdadeiramente mas, em bocados solu&ccedil;os que se transformam em mentiras!<br />
Adivinhas, sentimentos ocultos misturados com prazer entregues a infelicidade do tempo e do momento.<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Um sentimento colocado em marcha r&eacute;&#8230;(se for para a frente sempre, ir&aacute; para tr&aacute;s)&#8230;quem o traz seria, ou menos ser&aacute; um ser feito de l&aacute;grimas de desavanco.&nbsp;&nbsp;A famosa viagem ao passado, por onde tudo come&ccedil;ou &eacute; como dito, talvez dever&aacute; se considerar como realidade, mais uma das v&aacute;rias duas e tr&ecirc;s que nunca cessaram totalmente a sua exist&ecirc;ncia.</p>
<p>Despertam muitos quando o sino toca, os poucos se recusam a concordar com a realidade teste afixada diante de s&iacute; mesmo!<br />
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;O tempo insiste para que a realidade de muitos se reflicta mas, quem, o que sera que tornar&aacute; as rodas estreitas, o que far&aacute; a vida como parceira do tempo para separar o sil&ecirc;ncio da inequidade do tempo que fora por outra congelada pela falta de considera&ccedil;&atilde;o, tanta ac&ccedil;&atilde;o para nada, s&oacute; para ganhar raz&atilde;o, ent&atilde;o?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is me you must accept even if its less than expected.<br />
There is something about yourself,<br />
this that sends shivers down my spine,<br />
this that crawls beneath my skin invading my soul.<br />
This that blows me away and mends the pieces into a circle of joy.<br />
It is that what you have that I crave the most,<br />
this that you have speaks in tongues that only my heart could understand.<br />
This that you have is what I need.</p>
<p>With you around I see the sky with stars, I see the moon in full,<br />
I see your sparkling eyes looking down onto your beautiful smile.<br />
My soul melts from that irresistable gaze.<br />
My eyes are blinded by the blaze from the flames of your passion.<br />
Mission accomplished, I am blessed with your presence at mind,<br />
Oh you are so kind.<br />
Pound for pound, you come out top from the crowd.<br />
Oh let me not say it so loud as this breeze might just blow it away before your feet are found.<br />
Yes, this that you have is mine.<br />
My feelings are cast and I am peeling the past,<br />
let this that you have be the last.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Taken away from my beloved country. I<br />
am a son to those who would stand outside,<br />
call my name and I would&nbsp;&nbsp;answer &quot;Im<br />
comming&quot;. Sitting and facing backwards on<br />
a raft on the dask of the lastday before the begining<br />
of the new moon of rains. The transaction<br />
had been made and I captivated. </p>
<p>Across my head, past my ears, over my shoulders<br />
the cold.. cold wind blew as I sat and watched<br />
the land drift away and a&nbsp;&nbsp;new life would begin.</p>
<p>Taken away from my beloved country . I ,<br />
I am a brother to those with two left hands.<br />
Sitting and facing backwards in a raft, my ears<br />
fall deaf to the tone of their voices, but hands idle<br />
to their call. Im tied up to a solid post.</p>
<p>Over waters, in the sea to which my life line extends<br />
to snap from the motherland of many who pride their<br />
graves for having fallen in fought of that beloved land.</p>
<p>Taken away from my beloved country. I, I ..I used<br />
to be a man. A man to that, that knew my place in a<br />
home. Sitting and facing backwards in a raft, my left<br />
leg had broken, my crutch inaccessable. The pain was<br />
excruciating.</p>
<p>Under the spell of daze in pain, I zoned to delusional thoughts<br />
of the yet to be seen land of the pail. I couln&#039;t set foot.</p>
<p>Taken away from my beloved country. I, ..I, &#8230;.I<br />
was a father.<br />
Sitting and facing backwards in a cannoe. Helplessly<br />
before my very eyes, I sew my world crumble, watched<br />
my flesh get ripped apart.</p>
<p>In pain, I was killed&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;
