Ofentse Mercy Hajane (The Dark So'tho Seer) Poems

Winter hast come,
And winter hast gone.
The blistering cold hast not lingered since then.
Sounds of the demented hast birthed laughter.
...

I see you gather before me...
hungry... terrified... Clutching your babes to your breast.
The rulers of the north has marched their legions into our lands... Laid siege to every fortress from here to the LeSo'tho Mountains…
Rabid and ravenous, they bite and bite away.
...

In yesteryear and wars of days gone,
In the great fall of men,
Demons arose from the loamy soil,
Casting piercing shadows and damning the wretched.
...

When time of penance is nigh,
So does shadows fades in the night.
When devils seeks the light,
All deeds they done of the most high.
...

The morning sun violently stabs the horizon
Colorful blood of light gushed from the sky.
Yellow,
Red,
...

Crazy winds whirls in my head.
My eardrums swollen, big as an olive
Metal clinking and cricking in my mind.
Guitar bursts the hearts of the forbidden.
...

In silent suffering.
The cold tone of piano black stabs my soul.
Injecting darkness in its veins.
The ghosts of those I tortured,
...

Maloba ke dutse majweng ma'tle a lewatle.
Mehopolo ya dithero tsa bophelo baka
ya qhaleha fatshe jwalo ka ona moruo wa lefatshe.
E fata,
...

Come now child
Graveyards are not to be played in about,
Even fairies are fearful of their dark omen,
Suppose it's only right that you should too.
...

You are my abyss,
my shadow,
my darkness.
You are the master of my thoughts,
...
