Uyakhumbula Poem by senzokhaya umhayi

Isikhathi sahamba njengokugeleza kwamanzi,
Ngibheka emuva sekwasala imimoya iheleza,
Konke sekwaqoqwa kwabekwa emqondweni,
Kwasala amanxiwa enhliziyweni,
Nalaph' esakhulela khona sekwasala izidleke nje,
Ukuth kwakunomuzi lana,
Sesiyokhomba ngamathuna abazali abasishiya,
Singalibala kanjani impilo eyasibumba yasenz' imbumba,
Mina ngiyakhumbula ngiwumfanyana wena uyintombazanyana encanyana,
Enhlana nje empofana eney'faca,
Kaz' uyakhumbul' emuva sikhula,

Khumbul' ungikhumbule,
Mina bengihlala nawe emakhay' ebunganeni bakho,
Wenu ukhule nami, uphila nami udlala nami,
Besidlal' imizi wena uba umama mina ngibe ubaba,
Besingahlukani ndawonye besidlal' umacashelana,
Ma sonile besibanjwa sishaywe sithethiswe ndawonye,
Ehlabathini izulu melinile besidlali izindlu,
Odakeni sibhuquza siye siyoshona ezihlahleni,
Endleleni silandelana um' uthunyiwe ngikulandel'
Ungiphekezel' estolo singahlukani,
Besiteketisa bethi siyathandana,
Bethi mina ngingumkhwenyana wen' umakoti,
Besisavalekil' emehlweni lokho bekusikitaza ngaphakathi,
Ngingafun' udlale nomunye naw' ukhala mengihambe nomuny'
Besifanele sibekene ezinhliziyweni ngothando lobungane,
Sashada savufuna sath asoze silahlane,
Noma bekungokokudlala kepha izifungo zahlala enhliziyweni,
Umqondo ubuyel' emuva uvukuze lolwathando esasinalo sikhula,
Ngijula ngenhliziyo kubuye imicabango yezint' ezenzeka,
Izifiso zobungane ezingazange zifezeke,
Isikhathi sigeleza njengamanzi emfuleni,
Siyaphambili sishiy' imilando emuva,

Ngiyakhumbula sikhula nawe ngiyafis' uz' ungikhumbule,
Ziyabuya lezo nyembezi kimi owazikhala mhla ilanga lisithela,
Mhla abazali bakho bekushiy' emhlabeni,
Ngisakubona namanje uguqile uphelelwe amandla,
Udind' isililo ufuna umama wakho,
Kwamina ngikhala nawe noma sobabili sasilahlekile singazi kuba lalidumephi,
Usuku lomncwabo lwadlula,
Ngakhal' ezimathons' ungitshel' ukuba wena uyahamba,
Kakubona bekulandile omalume bakho,
Ngagijma ngilandel' imoto owakuyo yaze yasosithela,
Ngikubon' uvelil' ewindini uphakamis' isandla,
Ngasala ngalila ngathi ngizokulinda uz' ubuye,
Zahamb' izinyanga wangabuya,
Yahamb' iminyaka kepha lutho esweni,
Ngakhula ngazam' ukudlulisa isimo,
Yal' inhliziy' ukukulibala,
Nanamhlanje ngithi mengibhek' inxiwa lakini,
Kuvuk' inxiwa elisenhliziyweni,
Kush' ukuthi la kwakuhlal' othize obalulekile,
Kunowokuqala owavula amasango wahlala kulenhliziyo,
Izohlez' ivulekile ze ubuye nokhiye wayo uzoyivala futhi uyinelise,

Ngizamile ukucinga awutholakali,
Ngibhalile kuSis doll akaphendulanga,
Nabakini angibazi ngiyobatholaphi,
Uma uwuzwa lomlayezo ngisahlala khona eMfekayi,
Ngitholakala esitobhini kaMafuleka,
Uze ungibhalele nawe kulelikheli,
