Mixo Malepfane Poems

Tears of a weeping lover

When did I lose you my love
How did my world fall apart
...

Letter to my soul mate
We are bound both physically and spiritually
It is like we are of the same breath, one heart
You are all that I am
...

I still remember how it feels
To fall in love with you
For I am not in love, alone
This is love my love
...

It does not scream at you but you will hear the music
It does not shout at you but you will hear its voice
In its silence it roars
Even the deaf can hear the African beauty
...

I think I have hated you more than I have loved you
For I have loved you from a distance
All I ever wanted was for you to be happy
I was afraid of hurting you
...

Words

The words we speak
The words we write
...

Death

Death has betrayed my trust in life
For i had given everything to life
...

I loved you even when I did not know you
And not knowing whether you would love to be loved haunted me daily
But in my heart I knew you were the woman for me
For you make me the man I wish to be without doing anything
...

If doctors knew what you do to my heart, they would never allow you near me
And I f my mother knew how much I love you she would disown me
If God could tell you how much I love you He would also tell you, you’re my angel
If my father knew how much I love you he would be jealous of us
...

I have waited long enough
For my tomorrow is today
And yet I have not my future
For I am still waiting
...
