Mishack Mchunu Poems

Whither you climb?
Stones with feet oozing life,
Sanctified by the lamb
Ought to be worth of His grief,
...

I looked for a need but I failed to find it…
A reason to neither cry my tears nor show my fears,
Throughout the years, never reached the limit
In me, greater is he that cannot be seen with eyes!
...

Fountain of my blood
In the midst of my belly, with a scarlet pearl
Like a precarious ocean, blew a flood
That hurts to soon heal,
...

He is almost alive
He exists in hades
Doing what he doesn't know
Saying what he doesn't understand
...

Dear pain, close friend of my tears,
Is it the mood or the blood you want to see?
Come blowing nor flowing lest years
Pass us by, with a humble and high key
...

There is a friction
That slows down my reaction;
The sight of your beauty is not what my eyes can bare,
It's like the eye of heaven; too hot for me to stare.
...

Hail culture! I was told; in you there is stature,
Maturity and prosperity, you are the boundary
Between boys and men, between girls and women
The completion of nature, you are the future!
...

I love you, my lava and my sun shine
You are hot! For you I toil, you are sweet as I sweat.
Under your shadow; my tree of life, my shrine
Along the cherubs I sing like the seraphim under your treat
...

There is, but one, I miss
Whose lips gently move
Only pause with a passionate kiss
With glitter; they smile to love.
...

You imbibed the life out of the soil
Though grass and trees still grow,
But your hair that grow from fair to fair boil
From your beauty, they die when the winds blow!
...
