tawanda omphile plaatjie Poems

Take a walk in my shoes
Infact let me take you down a path, seatbelt on
And please, keep the shoes on
...

I am simply Tawanda
To many a wonder
But to they that take credit for my existence, a blessing.

A little angel that visited from heaven
You couldn't stay to see the years unravel
Your father the creator had other plans for you
It is time for you to receive the blessing that in his plans for you is long overdue
...

Something else that Gabriel Mogomotsi Rasenyai and I came up with...

Quaint: Let us meet in a different place we haven’t been to
Let me sing you a song like the wonder years

'Let he who desires peace prepare for war'
A truth so very raw
Hits you harder that a Mike Tyson right hook to the jaw
...

One foot in front of the other
One step after another
Hold on, you are almost at the finish line
It is just a matter of time
...

what makes a friendship?
when do we know we have crossed the fine line between just hanging out and being on each other's friendship walls?
is there a trial period?
...

My dearest Lindelwa,
Your name rings with familiarity over and over in my head,
Every day you take form, and become a reality I cannot shake off, or really comprehend,
First it was your beautiful big brown eyes, with lashes long and curly; no one can question your roots,
...

It is almost 4am
You do not know how glad I am
It is not about being inadequate
But seeing myself as immaculate
...

A lifetime ago I beamed like rays of a summer afternoon sunshine,
Bringing life to the greenery, making the birds sing sweet summer melodies,
Summer all throughout the year in my heart,
Warm summer rain in my veins, side by side my deep red blood,
