Kenneth Maswabi Poems

dear beloved
time flies unheeded
our days apart stretched
our love tormented
...

Fear is a battalion of mercenary chemicals
Capable of incapacitating even the most hardened of individuals
In the absence of faith, hope, Love and sometimes courage
Fear is stealthily deployed to incinerate the mind, body and spirit
...

On this path
I strive to be a Poet
Not because I am an artist
But because I am a Seeker
...

Born out of joy
Jovial moments are captured
By the wavering laughter
Bursting out of a happy heart
...

Her soul stitched to her garment with a paintbrush
Arousing her heart to dream
Ready to shout with joy
Celebrating the life full of butterflies
...

the bold eagle
flying far above your head
in times of peace
masquerading as a dove
...

The stepping-stone of the gods
Standing high above the clouds
With the snow white veil
And a magnificently erect pose
...

I have listened to man preach
Swallowing the sacred nectar
And vomiting it in rejection
It is the dejection of the spirit
...

Deep inside the river of consciousness
Beautiful pearls are being created
Beyond the imagination of men (and women)
Life is being re-configured and refined
...

It's been a while
Since I took my medicine
My heart is thumping
My head is spinning
...
