Onalethuso Petruss Ntema Poems

the contrast between the similar
the similar of the inter-relativity
the extremity of nearness
the nearness of the never
...

manifestations of life
a continuous interplay
of natural forces,
what the mind perceives
...

the seeds i sow
by the corn fields shall grow
to the sunrise and set in their seasons,
because our souls rise to fall
...

this one, is for all the conscious minds
this one, is for all the righteous ones
this poem is the song to your life than once
sing song, to all the birds in the sky
...

These are the words of a silent dreamer
whose drought of dying dreams
...

beyond the soul

my mind snails beyond the soul
like a soul over the seeds of life,
...

The sky is full of dirty
Twisted scraps of clouds beyond the heart,
Tinted with the sun by the horizon red
And lowering its arms over fallen hearts,
...

your eyes, beyond see
run come and stay with thee,
your ears, beyond hear
to the weakness in me my dear,
...

The Roots

The roots, from which grew heaven and earth,
Unbroken power of life prevails; its worth,
...

That source their roses
From pieces of causes
To the limits of choices,
When our doors are stronger
...
