Musa Gift Masombuka Poems

When you see them smile,
Take their smiles seriously not,
For they're just for pretence,
Foresee their fault no evidence,
...

You are a perfect flower
Your colour rhymes with your smell,
Your beauty so simply amazing,
It even makes me jealous of your creator.
...

When I remember my teachers,
I see guidance of life,
I see our future in their palms,
I see knowledge to others,
...

Dear son,
I am sorry to leave you,
I didn't mean to leave you,
But I had to leave you,
...

My love, oh my love.
What's all with the whining?
I miss thee.
Oh beloved, why you back early at work?
...

On top of the fur of the tiger,
She lays a goat leather bag,
In the bag full of skeletons,
And smelly traditional mixtures,
...

It is a long story,
Longer than a novel,
With too many verses like Bible pages,
Dreary but throws the book,
...

If you were not born,
They wouldn't have the qualities of parenthood,
They wouldn't have somewhere to place their memories,
They wouldn't have someone to call their precious gift,
...

Hey you!
Yes I mean you!
No need to hide you!
We know you!
...

When I'm gone,
It doesn't mean it's the end.
It means carry on where I left,
When I'm gone,
...
