Nomthi Lusiti Poems

Whenever she cries wanting something, I would jump to her side
Whenever her temperature rises, I would call a specialist to check her
Whenever she goes out to play with her friends, I would check out of the window
If the other children are not bullying or mocking her
...

Can you love me for real?
For real I mean for the person I am,
The real person I am not the woman of your imagination
Can you....can you just love me for being me...
...

You chose the perfect family to bring me up,
As they did not just love me but further
Prepared me for the unforeseen situations,
As they taught me to call You, praise You and thank You,
...

Destiny, destiny...where are you,
Here am I wondering what you are,
When do you visit me so I also give myself a round of applause?
That at last you also landed to my world
...

I tried to pick up nice things for you,
Fruit, sweets and everything I thought would make you happy,
Some things that would shift your mind from the fact that I’m leaving you now,
I unpacked your bags and everything that belonged to you,
...

We made a great pair, close to destinies
Love was good and life was great
Only our timing was wrong
You were the best thing that happened to me
...

Ouch....this wound is so deep
I can’t move
I can’t walk
I am loosing my breath
...

I want to forget about my misfortunes
And be grateful for my achievements
I want to forget about chances I missed
And be thankful of the opportunities I am enjoying
...

She was young and beautiful
So energetic and full of life
Everything was going so well in her life
When you ask her what her secret was
...

I was never a perfect child but you put up with me,
You had no support, nor compensation from those who burdened you with me
But even so you never complained nor treat me differently for that.
I was in no good health when you accepted me but you took a good care of me
...
