Gelila A Gobena Poems

I am the same loving dog Sammy
now what do you want me to be.
Don’t ignore me just come and pet me.
...

It all started with a little pillow
you whispered in my dreams
that you’re so mellow
with promises so deep
...

I’ve seen before
many beautiful eyes
amazing and mesmerizing eyes
deep penetrating
...

I don’t have the notes
nor a banjo or a gong
I can’t sing the songs
to rejuvenate the moods
...

Night falls again for the dreamer
ready to chase another dreamer
refusing to face the good mirror
who sings daily hymns of a believer
...

If you unveil your mask for me
I wonder what you think of me.
I’m waiting impatiently
for you to walk visibly
...

I thought I said my final goodbye.

Years and many moons passed by
days - hours - minutes passed by
...

My nose grew by inch
every time I lied to you.
I had to disappear
to hide myself from you.
...

For all the days
I wonder in vain,
For all the nights
I lay down and cry in pain,
...

Wonder when I can be free of the chain,
be free and fly again,
feels tough very tough every day,
sure will be able to do it one day.
