Moletedi Koketso Ntseme

Mid summer's sun emerges
And the petals get withered
Stalk standing with boldness
Without wiping any tear
...

I view and dwell upon beauty,
where my focal length ends.
Image upside-down but
by translation straight.
...

Let shyness let you go
And boldness let you glow.
Hold my hand to cross the line,
‘Cause in a moment you'll be mine.
...

Ascend from me
Ascend I command you.
Evade be free
Depart from me.
...

This love is
Penetrating through my veins,
Freezing my soul,
Jamming my system.
...

Thumping deep, deep
I feel a poem inside,
Wriggling within the membranes
Of my soul
...
