Khethiwe Ndlovu Poems

There's this man
who is constantly on my mind,
and on days where I TRY to find
some other things to occupy
...

Many people will tell you I'm complicated.
What I can say is I'm simply emancipated
because to me it only makes sense
for me to walk, talk and dress in confidence.
...

I guess it's true,
you never really know
you're in the dark
until you see the light.
...

Honey, give me that old school love
White and pure like a beautiful dove
The kind of love that was blessed from above
Like back in the day
...

Black Girl, you are immaculately beautiful.
Your mind is a powerful tool
use it.
Throw away that cream that makes you 10 times lighter
...

The thing is i fail to understand myself at times..
I sit and try to find words that will make my poems rhyme..
But that made me realise that I'm defying who Khat is all about.
I'm not comprehensive, or ordered like a Arithmetic sequence
...

Boy in ripped jeans, I'd choose you over that swaggered up boy any day.
Your delicate touch is what gives me chills down my spine.
Your love gets better but never gets old, au contraire, unlike wine
Your smart mouth and shyness is what draws me to you instead of that boy who thinks I'll melt at his feet with his mom's borrowed Benz and a 'Hey baby, how'd you do? '
...

Ultimately I wish to be in your arms once more.
Cause out of all the angels, you're the one I'll adore.
I remember, instead of birthday wishes I received condolences
Because even today it makes absolutely no sense
...
