Cebolenkosi P. Mkhize Poems

I want to Fly Away

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

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

Izinyembezi zowesifazane

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

Emazweni Kangifumananga


bathi induku enhle igawulwa ezizweni.
...

UMthandazo wami

mina nkosi sengikhathele ukubonga impilo,
yodwa kweyami impilo emthandazweni.
...

Ngathula umthwalo ngangabona mehluko
Ngathula bona bathwala kwanomehluko.
Kanti lomthwalo ebengiwuthwele unhloboni?
Wasinda kwala noma sengiwethulile.
...

Ithuna likanembeza liyakhuluma


Lomhlabelelo uvusa usizi qede
...

Bathi impilo umuntu uyazikhethela.
Bahhubhuza olukabhejane
lempilo yenhlupheko mina,
kangizikhethelangala.
...

Eternal Love's Bittersweet Melody

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

Ziyolinyazwa ngabanye zipholiswe ngabanye

Kukancane oyilimazile kube ngoyilaphayo.
Oyilimazile imvamisa uhlalela ukuyithuka
...
