Cebolenkosi P. Mkhize Poems

I want to Fly Away

Like a bird flying higher and higher
I want to fly away & sing beautiful Melody
...

Izinyembezi zowesifazane

Ngokufika kwami kulomhla kwadala uqhekeko.
Uqhekeko kubo ababili ababengamathe nolimu.
...

The Emancipation
Heavy cargo over my shoulders.
Long journey accompanying my feet.
impatient bing bang from my heart beat
...

Phansi komthunzi welanga

Ezintabeni zokhahlamba
Lapho ubuhle bukhazimula njengonyazi
...

INGENE
Isingene nina baka ndaba.
Cashisani izinkubela nezimpumputhe.
Ibutho nebutho nobhoko lwalo.
...

Wacindezeleka umuntu ompisholo
Kusukela kakade bephila kanzima.Ifosholo
esandleni; emuva ubeleselwe bakhuza ushova
Isithukuthu sendod'emnya sehle njalo siphelele ezeni.
...

Soneni

Lobuhlungu bama hlule egazi
Aklabalasa ehlane kuhlasimule
...

Eternal Love's Bittersweet Melody

In a fleeting moment, our eyes did meet,
A spark of love ignited, my heart skipped a beat.
...

My heart was shattered, broken and worn
From love that failed, and tears that were born
The pieces scattered, like autumn leaves cold
I thought I'd never love, never grow old
...

Owesifazane onobubele

Kulomhlaba ngafika ngegusheshe
Into eyafika yasipina kabili kathathu
...
