Phumlani Vimbelasizwe Shiba Poems

Emphilweni yami ngiyanetseteka ngekuba khona kwakho
Ngiyenama nangetento takho
Nkosiyami ngiyakuvuma lutsandvo lwakho,
Angisayiphatsi ke yesineke sakho
...

Ndvodzana,
Ye ndvodzana hlala phansi ngikudvonse ngendlebe
Kukubona ukhulile mine kuyangitfokotisa
Wena ungumliba loya phambili,
...

In the depths of night, where shadows roam
Your faithfulness is my guiding home
A light in darkness, a beacon bright
Illuminating paths, through life's plight
...

Lost in the haze of memories past
I wandered alone, forever to last
But then I saw you, and my heart took flight
In your eyes, my love, I saw the light
...

Ngiyafisa kwati ngabe ubapokela kuphi ngoba watsi ngeke uphile ngephandle kwami
Mkhohlisi wemphilo Yami
Angisho kutsi usikhohlakali kodvwa lowakwenta Kimi soze ngikukhohlwe
Waphendvula lutsandvo lwetfu walwenta inganekwane
...

Ngivile kutsi ucela lucolo,
Nami ngelutsandvo lwakho ngisetse gozololo
Kuhle ngoba uyakhumbula kutsi wangikhuba,
Ngiwuvile nemlayeto wekutsi ucela ngikuphe litfuba,
...

A day that started wrong, with chaos in its wake
A morning mess, with stress that wouldn't break
The alarm blares loud, the water spills and flows
A suit gets ruined, and hopes start to go low
...

In streets of need, a figure lies
A soul in distress, with empty eyes
The world passes by, with hearts of stone
Until kindness arrives, like a gentle tone
...

In secret, a tale unfolds
A family bound by tradition's hold
Love and loyalty, a complex test
A story of power, of family nest
...

DEAR EX YAMI

Ngiyafisa kwati ngabe ubapokela kuphi ngoba watsi ngeke uphile ngephandle kwami
Mkhohlisi wemphilo Yami
