Andile Mtshali Poems

Don't dare pretend you do not care

I can feel it, you carry it in your air.
...

Here is my love coloured in ink

This pen and my heart share a link
...

Your face was under an umbrella

But my heart heard your cappella
...

It is to me mind blowing

The things that leave your mouth
...

Here my life ends

All my days spent
...

The earth is beautiful
But there is no time to stand
And marvel at what it can constitute
Or wisdom to comprehend its worth.
...

There is a garden in her face
That no beauty could ever replace.
Her smell is always sweet,
It makes me want to bow to her feet.
...

Your lips taste like opium

Your arms my haven
...

I have seen the vision of the moon turning into dust

Of children running the streets naked with lust.
...

one two three

soon you will see
...
