phumudzo mapila Poems

My father has just lost his job
My sister might have cancer
All this in one day...talk about a bad day
...

The love i have for life
The peace within my soul
The pain in my hear.
...

Some time ago i believed the world was filled with love
and i was in the centre of it all
But today i feel all alone, like it was all an illussion
where did everyone go?
...

Her dad was shot just the year before
It hurts to wake up and not see him anylonger
But atleast mommy was there to hold her hand, wipe her tears
and say 'dont you worry baby, mommy is still here'
...

I have met lots of people in my life
made lots of friends over the years
but never have i met a girl quite like you
A girl with a heart so big it can accomodate all of humanity
...

Once upon a time....
in a dark and gloomy era
My life had been a constant struggle to feel loved and accepted by people around me.
with a constant longing...
...

I always thought i knew what love is....
Act like i understood it all
It was nun deeper than the definition in the dictionary
...

I think its time I become honest with with myself...
I think I have liked you all my life.
From the first time I saw you be, I got that warm feeling inside...
Like butter melting on hot toast.
...

Well I sat this afternoon and asked myself why it is that I think I love you

I was tempted to say I love you because of the way you make me feel.
The butterflies...that fuzzy feeling in my stomach when you say 'amo-te'
