Musa Gift Masombuka Poems

Goodbye father John,
For we shall meet again,
Things of this world you have seen,
It was time for you to rest,
...

It makes such a painful sound,
It hums so bad and touching,
Like an elegy for a mother.
With eyes drowned in water,
...

Yes! It's deeper than poetic
The feeling I have for you
Yes! It's dramatic
The love story I want us to read,
...

Hear me out I cry
I need energy
I need it for an elegy
I am in strain
...

As I glow my light so blazin'
My day, night the same.
I bring warmth and comfort.
If unnoted I am vicious,
...

If I had words to describe you,
I wound' have gone far, bet by the bush.
I wouldn't have paged through a thesaurus or a dictionary.
I wouldn't have exercised my cerebrum.
...

I saw it all in Jo'burg,
Yes I have seen it all in Johannesburg,
From peasant workers to peanuts sellers,
Sex workers to sell people,
...

Let it rain
The trees are dry
All forms of life are thirsty
The land is pale
...

Let me die not.
I still have that faith,
I still have that hope,
I still have that thought,
...

Three words are those which are spoken right from my heart,
Three words are those which keeps us together,
Three words expresses my thoughts and feelings to you,
Three words puts a smile on your face,
...
