Mixo Malepfane Poems

I was seeking acceptance
To belong to something
And I honorable failed
I am yet to live my dreams
...

I was patience with my love
I cared for it with the hope of being loved
But i forgot that love could not talk
And i thought that doing was stronger than saying
...

Loneliness makes the heart weak
It forgets who i am and what i am
I am besieged by blindness
The impossibility of hope becomes my reality
...

She wanted me all her life
She loves me more than she loves herself
Sacrificing herself for me has always been her way
She told me I am her best
...

Made by death
Death cheated me of my childhood
I do not have memories of being a child
For I was born and then I was an adult
...

Power is so sweet but so bitter
It is so strong but very weak
It will unite us and disperse us all
For power defends but it attacks
...

Why do you always want what I have
And when you cannot have, it you wish me to lose it
Why do you allow your mother to treat you like a child,
If only you knew that I will forever remain my mother’s child, do you even care that she gave me life
...

I heard if your death and I did not cry
But all I did was to laugh till my lungs hurt and my tears started to fall
In those moments all I could think about was what a human being you were
If I was writing a poem, these would be my words
...

I do not wish to know your past
For knowing changes everything
Can I paint you with the color of my choice
Let me look at you and see for myself
...

Stolen kisses

These are the moments that make life beautiful
That day I stole moments from time with you
