Anele Potelwa (Unpublished) Poems

To love and live
but never true
Because it stays to deceive
...

I woke up in the morning
The rain was pouring
And my thoughts were flourishing
Filled with memories
...

by all the good
you throw at him
he grows at a pace
...

What then do we call you?
Because in no way
we can prove the clemency of human,
perhaps you live in a devil's body,
...

He named it 'the spear'
and at the feet
he did not mind
but after one single hit
...

Due to benediction,
that talent is yours,
and never shall
You do away with it
...

Lies
Deception
And too many secrets
With Articificial smilles
...

ndiguqe ngawonk'amadolo
iinyembezi zindiphandl'okothuthu
ingqond'indibuza umbuzo
ndiswel'impendulo koko ndiwuphosa kuwe
...

It was love
That brought hate
It was joy
That brought sorrow
...

I remember
The last time I spoke with you,
You asked and begged me
To do you a favour
...
