Our Cute Tomato love, by Phiwokuhle Mpendulo Manana

A Love Song:
...

In your uprightness
You stand before everything
With your love, you concurrence
Your brightness shines in all directions
...

It's time for me to open my heart,
And express my deepest feelings.
You have an amazing smile,
Able to wake up in my heart,
...

Dear....

I have a small confession.
Forgive this pouring of my heart.
...

Merely maggots paint the town red upon
Seeing a tortured brute
Vultures whistle their trumpets
At the spectacle of an antelope's foot in the grave,
...

Where you succeeds with cloudless brow,
In common and in holy course,
I fails, in spite of prayer and vow
And agonies of faith and force;
...

When I behold the skies aloft
Passing the pageantry of dreams,
The cloud whose bosom, cygnet-soft,
A couch for nuptial I seems,
...

The Rose of the World.
Lo, when the Lord made North and South
And sun and moon ordained, He,
Forthbringing each by word of mouth
...

The destined maid; seine hidden hand
Unveils to me that loveliness
Which others cannot understand.
...

Once more I met you close,
With joy half memory, half desire,
And breathed the sunny wind that rose
And blew the shadows o'er the Spire,
...
