Nomvula Hadebe Poems

Defined by our skin pigmentation
They name us differently
WE ARE HUMAN
Others see us as materialistic value
...

The man dressed in a white character
One that stripes my dress
Tells me to relax
Yells commandments that aggravate fear
...

Carrier of two souls at a period
Feeder of another human being
Exchanger of a vast creation
Molder of a being in life stages
...

REMEMBER ME

Remember me for who I truly was
Have been burnt and bruised with scares
...

Here we stand

Gazing in each other's eyes
We felt love at first site
...

She lost herself
Defined by her natural beauty
She wore the crown
Yet after taking of her gown
...

Deep sigh and tears in her eye
They never knew
Cracked heels with blood dripping slowly
She still moves yet slower in motion as it's her only option
...
