Ofentse Mercy Hajane Poems

Soaking deep in a pool of fire,
Places of worlds thought to be relics in my head.
Drums drumming heartedly.
The dead are not really dead,
...

Hell burns
My heart is diseased,
But all I could think of is your dark eyes.
Pouring out from them was terror,
...

Tied upside down the world
I gave a smile unto my invisible reflection
Tie tied fastened
My chocking smog of death
...

At the wake of dawn,
As the sun peeked through the curtains that are laced with shadows.
The light that lit its way through the hideous maze of cloud that surrounds the apartment.
The reward of its feat was a gaze at the eternal beauty.
...

Down the dark domain
Sat Death in solitude and Pain
With raving silence.
Cold tears froze half away down his hard bony cheeks.
...

Two in the morning,
In a frost biting winter winds,
Swims a chattering of people in distraught.
The red and blue lights demeans the darkness as they stab through it in flash like speed.
...

Leafly falling from mid-air,
We clobbered in places we call homes.
White painted,
Cold air venting from their windows.
...

Cold feet,
Broken hands,
Cracked cheeks.
Mayhem her eyes plays.
...

Sounds of twisted tongues,
licks the ears of the lost.
Chains of burning hell,
claims the wrists of the tame.
...

The wind flows in my ears
My body tingles its way to the center of Gravity
My eyes flow of flying tears
My mouth drying and wetting in instants
...
