ntuthuko wesley nkwanyana Poems

-Be on my own
by myself in solitary company
let me be on my own
in engagement of converse colloquially.
...

Before you cry, please remember this:
that a woman cannot blame herself for the fall
of a man, for it is in love that we may rise
and multiply in great numbers.then tell me,
...

Life's seismic waves of pain have shattered my heart,
our force of repulsive attraction has pulled us apart,
our knowledge of destruction destroyed us from the start,
we stand so near to each other, with no one willing to play their part.
...

I know she'll be yours tomorrow, my friend,
all this courting and solitude tomorrow will end,
though ways may be many, you'll find one to her heart,
and you'll be gone in the morrow but you'll never be apart.
...

Come and i'll make thee a bed of roses,
take pictures of you with a thousand poses,
speak sweet words like sonnets of William Shakespear,
only if, my love you agree to stay with me here.
...

No longer need you drown that eye
For it may not have been taught to swim
No longer need you weep in remembrance of I
For you might have never suited my whim.
...

Sinking in the depths of my demise
I watch the ambitious still arise
my head is spinning with soulful cries
cries of a life that got twisted by lies.
...

Not with sight but with feeling
I see my thoughts touch the ceiling
thoughts of mementoes the past unreeling
memoirs of greatness my mind unruling.
...

In a world that is so full of hatred
where only the fittest survive
where the supremacy of God is debated
and everybody aims to strive.
...

When i'm down on my knee
praying for my troubles to flee
to leave my soul empty and free
so I can be whoever I want to be.
