Audrey Kanyera Poems
Africa is calling, come mwana come.
Ululating village women have their arms open, ready to embrace me.
The cracked, dusty African earth is ready to receive my footprints.
Africa is calling “halala”.
...
I am an artist;
Pen and paper are my instruments, with them I can voice ailments and amusements.
Nature is my inspiration, I write with punctuation without any denunciation.
What I cannot express in speech, I express in writing.
...
The hand that calms my soul.
I am poetry
The brush that paints my feelings.
...
Mine is a story of love and laughter;
A tale of grief and tears.
Mine is the life of a free spirited soul;
The existence of a caged spirit.
...
Dear me, hear me.
Though life brings disappointments and sorrow;
Forever, you cannot feel hollow.
Yet you may many a time hurt;
...
Taita
“Taita, taita, taita” we sing together;
When they screamed, “you can’t”;
We dreamt, “we can”.
...
You have it all figured out;
Except life aint just black and white.
You have it all in a plan;
Yet life isn’t just a cherry plum.
...
The breeze murmurs softly to the trees
The trees swing gently in the rain
The rain taps soothingly to the ground
The ground, like a drum retorts dum, dum, dum, dum
...
This pain that I feel goes deep;
Oh I cannot even weep.
This pain that I feel is oh so sharp;
In my mind it feels like a warp.
...

Africa Is Calling (Passionate Breeze)
Africa is calling, come mwana come.
Ululating village women have their arms open, ready to embrace me.
The cracked, dusty African earth is ready to receive my footprints.
Africa is calling “halala”.
Africa is cheering, come ngwana come.
The sunny skies have opened up and are applauding.
The barefeet village children are ready to run and hug me.
Africa is cheering, ” huya huya”.
Africa is hailing, welcome umtwana welcome.
The tantalizing scent of mealie cobs is drawing me towards motherland.
The dry, savanna mountains have their shadows ready to salute me.
Africa is shouting, “ngiyajabula”.
Africa is singing, hello, child hello.
The beautiful Shona, Xhosa, Ndebele, Venda and Khoisan dialects are alluring.
The men at the market whistle and bow, ready to greet me.
Sele, kwaito, mbakumba, patapata, I’m ready to jive.
Motherland is humming, ngiyakuthanda, keaorata, ndinokuda, I love you.
The sunset is beaming and captivating keen to cuddle me.
The lion, ostrich and zebra will not feed until they say welcome.
The wind is whispering, “mauya”.
Africa is calling, Nature is calling.
The trees are swaying attractively eager to cuddle me.
Motherland is calling, ekhaya is calling.
Kumusha is calling, it has been long.
