Elinye Ithuba Poem by Bathokozile Hadebe
Elinye Ithuba
Thula nhliziyo
yami
ngithi dudu
thula mphefumulo
wami
ngithi dudu
uma ngase ngithole
elinye ithuba
ngangiyohlala
ngentombi
ngizithibe
ukube ngangazi
ngangiyokulinda
ngibekezele
ukube ngakulinda
ngabe esami
isisu
asikhu, khumalanga
ngabe yithi labo
esibambene
ngezandla
ezigcwele
olubomvu, oluvuthayo olumangalisayo
uthando
ngabe yithi labo
esihamba esihlabathini
solwandle
sibalekela amagagasi
sincokola
awu kodwa
manunu
wami
ngiyophinde
ngimutholephi?
Oneqiniso
njengawe
