Tebogo Angela Poen Poems

Maybe we expect too much from those we love
Perhaps it's a lot to expect that they be loyal and faithful
She thought of how it could be a privilege for her to at least have a 1 minute talk with her man as some kids never get to have that
She has tried to be all he could ever want
...

They call it a sensitive issue to talk about
When it’s so easy to think about
The biggest elephant in the house
We carry on living and trying not to go there
...

Do I miss u because of ur silence?
Is it because I do not hear your voice any longer?
Is it because u no longer care?
Is it because u have somehow stopped saying and doing what u used to?
...

When the years of being queen come to an end
When everything that you used to become threatened
Your crown, your throne and your rod
When you have no reason to dine no more
...

Chewing gums, energy drinks and sunglasses
Popcorns, water bottles and books
Cigarettes, weed and smoothies
Accents and crushes
...

How much he loves you that he would sacrifice his sleep to watch over you when u asleep at night,
Even though u haven't asked him to
How he loves u that he would watch u not giving him ur time,
U'd rather give it to ur pets, newspaper or magazine
...

1st rule: u don't say 'excuse me' 2 any1. U just pass, if u hpn 2 push them, den it's not a problem.
Ok.. Then these women be chasing u with their infinite hairstyles, wanting u 2 try them on ur head.. 'helo sisi, khom 'n see, don't u want to do ur hair? '. Somehow u manage 2 escape, then dis big-headed guy grabs ur hand & be like 'hellouw sweedart' as he blows da cigarette smoke on u.. & un4tunately u have 2 pass by dat other man sitting on da corner, giving u dat 'I want 2 swallow u' look.. U try very hard not 2 show him dat u're nervous.. So u give him a daring look. Then u happen to trip, just when u were about 2 fall, the thought of those dirty, smelly waters running in the street, ready 2 grab u, gave u more reason 2 balance & hold on to that rusty pole. Then this guy shows up, giving u that 'have mercy on me' look, asks u 4 a R2 or some bread.. Seeing how u're surrounded by a pride of lions, scared of taking the handbag off ur shoulder & reach in2 it 2 find ur purse, U tell him dat u don't have it. So he leaves u & continues with his journey.. As u rush into da taxi rank, da car passes, drives into those dirty waters, & be4 u knew it, u were showered with those waters.. Eeew.! Feeling like saying da 'f*' word.. Bt then u calm urslf, . 'this is 1 of da devils games'- u think.
U carry on with ur journey.. Aaaah! Then u come across a traffic of pedestrians.. 'this is not my day'- u think.. 'people move maan hau..'- u say it in ur heart. u feel like pushing this lady in front of u as she walks like a model. As 4 those ladies with high heels.. u just feel like screaming at them 'THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT PLACE TO PRACTISE WALKING.. Some of us are in a hurry maan'.. With a very knocked-down face, as u walking like u following a queue inside a bank, u start feeling a heat. So u think dat maybe it's a crowd.. But no.. Someone is cooking here. Heban! ! Dude where should we pass? As u walking, some1 behind u steps on ur shoe, then it comes off.. Ish. U feel like giving him a warm-klap.. But then u remembr dat u are a WJWD, So u jst walk away.. then comes dat short person whom u nearly stumbled & fell onto.. I SWEAR..!

The tears of a busy man

All I ever wanted was to provide
All I ever wanted was to be the head of the house
...

the season was very dry and dusty
with no hope of rain
green was a myth
it only existed in the make-belief world
...

tracksuits and worksuits
sneakers and boots
dyes and haircuts
I know you sometimes hate seeing me with those
...

How many more RIPs must we say?
How many more stabbings and car crashings still have to come through?
How much more must we be convinced that lucifer is really chowing on the peoples souls
And all they do is surrender to him
...

The reason why I'd ignore u & not feel guilty
...

A beautiful white rose trampled on the ground,
Wrestled with dirt and the winds
No hope of life for it
Its only hope- the sun- the source of its life and strength, seems to be killing it

When things come to an end
Good or bad
It somehow brings out of our eyes
Those glands to say goodbye

Dear boyfriend
So far I can’t call myself a good girlfriend
I think I need a helping hand
I do not know what is exactly expected from a girlfriend
...

These hands have done it all
They have raised and saved
They have lifted, cuddled and wrapped
They have slapped, pinched and smacked
...

In awe I stand,
Looking at this awesome, handsome guy
Trying to give me some love
But because of some awful issues that I haven't dealt with in my life,
...

I went to your house to clean the other day
And I found no gate as a means of entrance and exit
So I stepped into the jungle
The birds were singing outside
...

My best friend loves me
He drains my energy with all sorts of games
And restores it with massages and endless kisses
He tickles me til I cry
...

Tebogo Angela Poen Biography

Brits born, last born Wits going, first gone Who bets on Best poets, Best educators & masters I place my head on the lyrical pillow Everynight, Watching the stars and the moon through my window Like a widow, I sit on the matress and mourn moments with alphabets I find the art in dropping my head down to the exam pad As I run the black ink accross those white sheets In the dark with the help of a lighter my hand, structuring every character (alphabet) with respect. Like a hero, I find victory in striking one's brain with those words that my pillow whispers in my ear everynight I find pleasure in thinking about what you're thinking And what you choose to ignore And I put those on a piece of paper I am only an angel -the messanger Came not to judge But to reveal the truth that you might just not see To whisper into your ears what you cannot hear To deliver the message And to say on your behalf, what you cannot say I get my revelation from the sweet sounds of nature I befriended isolation to fulfill this mission Pen and paper became my best friends In the midst of silence and lonliness As I ink the paper with the past experiences The present and what we all expect in the future I hope it all reaches your soul And in case you wonder who on earth is talking.. My name is Tebogo Angela Poen You can call me Angy/ T'go Stay tuned, learn and enjoy)

The Best Poem Of Tebogo Angela Poen

Emotionless

Maybe we expect too much from those we love
Perhaps it's a lot to expect that they be loyal and faithful
She thought of how it could be a privilege for her to at least have a 1 minute talk with her man as some kids never get to have that
She has tried to be all he could ever want
Tried to do all he could ever wish for
But "enough" didn't seem to be any of those
You see, they say sharing is caring
But this kind of sharing could destroy every piece of human soul
She sat and waited for her turn as He went on a hustle
Which these days is "fishing for girls" instead of money
She waited patiently,
sometimes the waiting killed her
Sometimes it killed her emotions, that she was left with nothing to feel

"Maybe if she was all of the women he wanted
Maybe if she drew her eyebrows in bold Arial black
or maybe, maybe she needed a Malaysian hair instead of Brazilian
Maybe it's her skin tone or her waist"

Now that is what's "enough"!
Aren't we enough of fixing what's not broken; us
Aren't we enough of bending back and forth for them to notice all that we are

Just another normal day for a woman who has loved until her love was deminished
Left with no emotions
Left with no strength or voice to speak

If you intend to love her, it better be real
Make it real that her emotions resurrect
Make it real that she is able to free her hand to hold yours
May she learn to crack those walls of sadness with a smile again
She only needs her strength to love again
For she went beyond enough pain
