Yoyama Magwashu Poems

I was a burden to you before I saw,
Nine months down the line you've ripped what you sow and you've let me grow
You were so patient with me even though I was hard to raise
You're were like garden boy cause you've cutted all the toxic plants that were about grow in me
...

3rd season of the year.
The birds are singing a sweet harmony,
With a chant that attracts living ears.
Admiring the bloom of the trees while feeling morning's air.
...

It's hard to find me going to bed with dry, clear eyes,
It's always red eyes covered with warm salty water.
My pillows always give me a shoulder to lean on,
They are not judging me even though when I get up in the morning I left them dirty and wet.
...

Dear Somgaga.
I don't know what you're going through but you need to hear this:
If you held up 11 buttercups in front of the mirror, you'd be looking at 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.
Matter of fact when you appear on the screen, your confidence brightens up my day.
...

I never saw such beauty in my life:
A small dark chocolate beauty,
Brownish eyes with cute lips with no lipstick on.
Her voice is now my favorite sound that I would love to listen to every minute cause it's soft.
...

I wasn't ready to say goodbye,
I wasn't ready to see you in deep sleep
Wearing clothes that you loved 'church clothes.'
Sleeping in your bed that matchs with your outfit,
...

Zezovuyo iinyembezi endinazo
zona zithatha ixesha ukuba ziyeke
ziyeka sele ndibengezela ndililanga
lona likhanya kude kudede ubumnyama.
...

My heart races every time I see your smile and I skip a beat when I hear your voice. The feeling differs from infatuation, as I have never felt this way.
To me infatuation is the language of a beautiful eye upon a sensitive heart.
Your voice is my favorite melody and our chats are the best lyrics.
To be fully honest my heart stops beating whenever I get the notification of your text.
...

When I first hold your hand in public it felt like our souls are intertwined and our fingers entwined,
Because holding your hand is holding your heart and you have impeccable taste in art.
Even though I may walk through the darkest valley, I will not fear anything cause you'll be holding my hand.
When I wrap my arms around you, I really, really never want to let you go.
...

I've fallen in love many times but always with you.
Because your laughter is my favorite symphony and your smile is my greatest masterpiece.
Whenever I see you, my heart dances to a rhythm of love that is completely our own, you're my peace.
If stars could speak, they would tell you everything I have shared with them about you.
