Mishack Mchunu Poems

I don’t love you
For the prideful and self centered reasons.
When the sky is blue,
To the slaying storms and all kinds of seasons
...

I know it's cold, but we are hot and getting old
Time is chasing us, come let's run to the streets
Do away with the underwear lest men don't understand!
And talk the walk, walk the talk on the streets!
...

Like the sun I felt your heat from a distance
When you rose from the street, I tried to stare
But my eyes couldn't bare yours, your fragrance
Took my breath away, couldn't catch it, I ran out of air!
...

If I could
Move the mountains,
Split wine from fountains.
I would
...

Tears from that face will forever fall
But not shall they reach that ground,
Nor turn the dry lands into Eden for all,
For that infliction will strike for more and never turn around
...

I took off my glasses
So to gaze her with my naked eyes,
And all I could see was flames
Beauty burning bright above the horizons,
...

But I am slaved to you,
Caved in your hell, served
You to the heights of the blue,
But it’s true, I remain starved.
...

In the world where death is a dreadful relief
Possibilities have limits and abilities don’t matter
Where people have hosted and made peace with Grief
Bitter absorbing their hopes for the better!
...

It is so real
When it oozes from a sore heart!
It takes time to heal
While battering the soul and turn the body apart...
...

My eyes drizzle
As thy charisma mingle inside them,
My heart whistle
A most prominent anthem,
...
