Here i am
Silently sitting by your side
Watching your heart pump
Like that of a baby
Tender feels the skin
Rolled upon that heart
Your golden heart.

So I say to myself
What shall I do
To keep this tenderness aglow
Shield I it from pain?
Or
Fill it up with tender love

Softt moans from the
Depth of your peaceful slumber
Melts the rocks
Of my heart
Rocks built
From hard works of betrayal
Of loss, grief and worry

I'll sit still
By the gate of your love
Knocking, knocking
Waiting for that moment
When you'll open
To pick me out
From the cold grip of rejection

So I'll surrender
Truly, wholesomely
To your strong arms
Filled with love
And care
To the soft whisper
Of your lips
Against mine
Then I'll be made whole again

Love Poetry

Accept me as I register
To school in the confinement of your heart.
Open your temple to me,
That I may drink of the knowledge of your soul.

Teach me to swim
In the lonesome river of your heart.
And to daily dine
On the table of your sweetness.

Oh how I long
To disect every of your emotions
As I take a slow long walk
On the shores of your subconscious.

To master every curve of your skin
And trace the outlines of each grafted scar.
To worship your sensuous skin
With each stroke of my fingers.

Teach me to dwell in your every moment.
To capture your heart through your face.
I'll be your paparazza,
As you make a dent in time's sand.

And when I learn
Every part of you,
As though I live in you,
I'll carve my niche
On the throne of your being.
You, my master, I, your servant of love.

No one knows what we shared

No one will mock our love tale.

Let it drown
Or better still sail away
Lost in the sea.
Maybe forever
Maybe for now.

I'll rather be a faint candle
Than beam rays like the sun
On same dame once supple
Whatever went wrong.

Forget it!
Lets share the blame.
Lets watch love dive
Into the sea.

May it swim to safety
May the whale devour it not.
May some other find it
Beneath the corals of negligence.

Bid we bye.

I am Xenophobia
I hate my brother
I’ll untie mother’s wrapper
I’ll break father’s
Walking stick
And stick(out)
My head from the South
Laughing to my delight
While he stumbles in daylight.

I am Xenophobia
I envy my brother
Who walked from the West
To come rescue me
From the Whiteman’s grip.
My brother
He fought for me.
A war I couldn’t win.
My lean Uncle Mandela
He housed
Under the umbrella of Brotherhood.

But that’s history
His folklore
His old story.
Today I rule the Whiteman
He helped me dethrone.
My brother from the West
Have I vowed to waste.

I am xenophobia
My brother I hate.
He’s better than I am
But my Yellow Land
Is better than his Oil-blackened
Benue and Niger rivers.

I am Xenophobia
I am Xhosa
I am Zulu
I am a black fool
Lazy I am
Envy my lazy am-
Strengthens against my brother.

I am Xenophobia
I hate my brother.

The Accused

Belied and betrayed she lies and weeps
As in his bed he easily sleeps,
Untrue of what she's accused,
His mistrust has left her now,
So cold as ice; bruised heart like petals.

Rejecting the vitals of life,
Slowly the heart dies beneath her breast.
Scorned by the man to whom she belongs,
Slandered in the stings of his hateful stare.

Grieved beyond imaginable horizon,
She mourns for the love now denied.
Wronged, to have been accused of such,
Lost in the ocean of a bleeding heart.

Too late the jealousy revealed,
That which to the lovers was concealed.
Not soon enough the scoundrels lies unveiled,
As the accused is laid to rest.

Xenophobia

How long shall this be?
A brother's blood to quench thirst.
The moon bleeds with babies cries.
The earth gone wet from soaking blood,
Abomination!

I have not, the spirit of fear
Says my maker.
So much evil have I wrought,
Giving away to the fierce hands of fear,
Of which I have no gain but pain

Xenophobia! Why come on blood rampage? 
Why sell my heart to evil? 
Clubbing those who come to my rescue. 
To the cold beyond you have marched,
Those who mean alot to my existence. 

In search of peace, you earned chaos, 
In search of love, you earned hatred. 
Tearing the unity we have to shreds, 
Pitiful carnivores have you transformed us, 
And outcasts have you made us.

This Journey Called Love

I'm only a sourjorner
In your part of existence.
Lend my heart a feet
To journey this road of emotions.

Heart in hand,
Emotions in check,
I swim through
The hurdles you here present.

A journey of no return
I'm told you are. 
So guide me I pray oh cupid, 
Lest I miss my way in it

My head screams go,
My heart like an indicator
Blinking the green 'go' light.
So I pray to be braced
To embark on this journey.

This journey called love.
Captivating you seem,
Interesting as you may be,
But a teacher you are to me.
