Lungelo Mpatho Poems

The passing years bring about experience
With experience comes a little understanding
Learning to speak less when we mean less
And to mean more in minimum words
...

no limits to imagination
if you and i could have sex
mind sex
with all the emotions
...

We do not need a renaissance
They needed a renaissance
Because they were in darkness
Back to our roots Africa must go
...

When every body thought I can’t
You said, I can
When I lost my reason to go on
You pushed me from behind
...

Lately I have been thinking about you
Brother
Before I fall asleep and sometimes before
I become awake…
...

the earth is just a ball
rotating
we do not choose
where we are born
...

This distance is the true prison
I see only the mountains that hide your face
But, someday these mountains will fade away
Had I the wings to fly
...

battle fought well and won
although it took long enough
it is finished
everyone is with scars
...

so i've been gone
too long and too far away...
she said she tried so hard to hold on
but she gave it up and moved on
...
