LLM Mbatha Poems

Say your love say it true say it well
Say it loud say it again say your love
Say it today, please say it now!
And if that one your heart dreams
...

if the sky does not fall in love
why then does she weep to flood
the planet's liquid and solid faces
why does she wail with such a thunder
...

Uthando lubona okuncanyana, okusheshayo
Ukuthinteka kwezindebe zomlomo noma okwamehlo
Lwehlukanisa um’bala no m’bala ibe ifana
Ngobuchule lu khiphe obomvu ko bomvu
...

Mhlawumbe ngangikuthanda ngoba ngikukhumbule
Mhlawumbe ngangikukhumbule ngoba ngingakwazisisi
Mhlawumbe ngigijima nezihambi kanye nezi vakashi
Ngoba zona zifika maqede zedlule
...

Kunokuthula ekungeneni kobu suku
Uhlobo lokuthula okunga dingi lutho
Ngoba kwenelisekile ngokuma nse
Ko mhlaba wonke, olunjena pho uxolo!
...

uku gijimisana kwami nawe
phela ngangi sangana ngawe
ngazama ukukubonisa
kodwa awuvumanga
...

Ngiphe inqondo yokuqonda
injongo yamazulu aphezulu
Ngincindise intando yokuthanda
ngothando lokuthanda umakhelwane
...

The hardest thing is saying nothing
To you, but I am out for words
I cannot find that old feeling
It vanished with the singing birds
...

Imagination took man to the moon:
How far is Fuji from the Table?
Given the choice, I’d choose to live
And quickly die, than to be not alive
...

Ngingasho kanjani ukuthi
Sekuphelile
Mina kanye lo owathi okwa phakade
Ngingacacisa kanjani
...
