Mpho Leteng Poems

We get gulped in depths of impassioned passions,
Emotional emotions, a tempest raging, a force too strong,
Love is no longer the endearment of Shakespear's pen,
The true love that concurs all is only a poet's mirage,
...

Do we need saving?
We, who walk the tightrope of existence,
Balancing dreams and despair,
With hearts tethered to the weight of the world,
...

Once I felt the patent feeling acutely too,
A spark within, a flame anew,
Wouldn't deter the impetus will that took me in,
A journey's start, with heart and kin.
...

Welcome to Shamukuni Street,
Where the city breathes in vibrant chaos,
Police sirens whirling,
A symphony of urgency and defiance—
...

I took my first steps,
barefoot on the cracked earth,
the whispers of ancestors woven
into the fabric of our days.
...

At Sesheke, the sun bows low,
Casting long shadows on the street,
Where laughter dances with whispered dreams,
And the air is thick with stories untold.
...
