Phinda Mkhonta Poems
Literally, louder and lively,
I would like to pour into your ears,
I am in love and fully confident with you
I need you more than the air I breathe.
...
In the wheeling swelling air, still I feel the wind
Waves blowing like a gasping messenger,
It is a windy rainy season, where every story is spread,
Where every fire is spread by the wind,
...
Africa your kindness and loyalty should cover us,
Our enemies are alive and healthy,
We are bent and bowed down through the will of our sadness,
They have made us walk bowed in sadness,
...
The zeal without education is fire without light
But zeal with education is fire with flames of light
I have seen the holy well with it watercress plants
Where one drinks and never goes taste again,
...
I am an African technological psychological opium
To the unique Africans dreams,
In heartless days, no chemical situation had purified me from poetry,
Some people fail to understand me like mathematics,
...
Ancestors speak! when informers thrive,
When people flourish and lie creatively
To kill by whisper and blasphemy to live.
...
Africa why so much crying?
Africa why so many people dying?
Justice in Africa has prevailed over traitors
While gloomed and doomed with conspirators,
...
I have longed in my heart,
Looking silently through the barred window
To the scrap of blue sky and mountains chain,
My hope of youth and rainbow day-dreams are locked,
...
Come lord, with all quickening fire in me,
In me delight to rest the principle divine,
Your temple of my soul is gherkin prepare,
Still this restless mind, heart and soul of mine,
...
This year has been hard and filled with sorrow,
I faced times when there was no hope for tomorrow,
Debated my purpose and reason for living,
Wore myself senseless, but still kept on giving.
...
My daydream is to regenerate humanity,
No matter what life throws at me?
My agenda is to build again;
Africa must be great as Mount Kilimanjaro,
...
Dear liberty
Before we forget you as our master and role model
Tell us not to forget you for you have dedication of every soul,
When democracy is pruned, when the bill of right is banned,
...
God you know my heart and mind,
You know my sitting and standing.
You know my words before speaking,
You place your hands on my head to pour your blessing.
...
Togethe we scrowl and together we can do it all,
Together we can fall but we can stand tall in the dark of an owl,
We can take our problems to a progrem to progress,
We can dry our peers tears from all the dark years,
...
Let this be the darkest hour before down
When you let my poetry to rain to dry deserts
Of humanity, to replace the fundamental ethic morals;
When the Africa conspire to conceive,
...
You are in a nest horrific pal,
From crack of dawn to twilight;
Your speeches is all about copulation,
Your conversation is all about copulation,
...
Our brotherhood is not by the blood certainly,
But we are brothers by speech and by saying consequently;
We are brothers by life lived and we are hurt for it.
...
True Love flows like sweat in the hot
African suns shine through a black man’s skin;
As if it will always flow in the texture of the skin crust,
You find nobody is prepared to take a true stand of love
...
To you unborn heroes of Africa
May your eyes filtrate things drawn to them?
May your lips pass effective flames of creative juices?
Juices to conquer the continent of Africa,
...
Nobody knows what he felt,
Within his dark-kept soul,
As still as a rail of a train,
Which strain his soul?
...

The Best Poem Of Phinda Mkhonta
I Am In Love
Literally, louder and lively,
I would like to pour into your ears,
I am in love and fully confident with you
I need you more than the air I breathe.
It has been a decade since I pruned you,
Oh! You are a flower my African humane,
You are not likened for you are pure,
Your love I cannot resist nor doubt,
For your love is a non-wet blanket to wear.
.
Your shinny dazzling hair puts me down,
My metabolism move reverse gear for your face,
For your beauty is like a rising sun from dawn,
When I cast eyes on you, I feel passion,
For this passion, my blood and flesh react brutally,
My blood is floating flowing with milk and honey,
You are my honey, I am your milk to make you honey,
I have been held back by personal momentous resolution,
And breaking one will not fade the future.
I was also conceived in the womb of fear about this passion
Still rivers run deep in my mind about your affection,
Flowing like sweet wine in the valleys of my mind
Down to the factory of my heart for your attraction,
Where it manufactured the sweetest wine of all ages.
Here we passionately stand in this calm and dead silent place,
Hear my words and in thy heart let them find space,
At this moment, allow me to taste my cake before my birthday,
Let us not measure but treasure this moment,
Let us not make it commented but commemorated.
