I Smell Victory.... Poem by Langelihle Maphumulo
I Smell Victory....
On an uphill road ahead
gawking at me,
A few twists and turns
lay inaudibly.
From a combat that just be,
A speck of massive dust
floats by in the air,
My eyes tuned up far
in the distance,
my head's camouflaged
in the cloud of ashes,
i struggle to breathe,
Yet in the midst of it all,
i smell victory...
Million miles ahead
Are steady strides taken
without sweat,
Voices in my head
From crowds on either side
Chanting and cheering,
Fuzzy dreams and vague
Visions in my mind
Refuse to die,
Living and breathing every
ounce of strength in me...
Life's twists and turns
Are as sharp as a blade
cutting through me like a knife.
Endlessly i bleed from this anguish,
i am weary and exhausted
yet in the midst of it all,
Smell victory that shouts
From within my brawn.
Weak yet still trodding,
Visualising the end that's near,
Sniffing and detecting it
Like a fog of smoke floating
in the air,
Victory is near! , victory is here! ,
i smell victory....
Mh that is a reeally an very nice poem and it is written with love, hope and more intyellectual effort. You are a real man and I can start to see that you are willing to share what ever thought you seem to possess with other people. I think with greater motivation that al South Africfan American shall take a pattern from ou to note that poetry is a part of life. But hey brother there is something wrong by all of us as poet writer and that is that once we have written some poems, we tend to gforget about reading them.At the same time there are very needy and hungry world which resid on them because most of them may contain wise and life sustaining subjects. Thus most people found themselves success out of us. Therefore it is a very intelligent thing to read your poems becuas they can create likje an awareness in your memory.

Thank you very much Mthokozisi, i believe that we need to hear such words constantly since we are faced with challenges in our everyday life, Things can be very hard and sometimes we don't see the light at the end of the tunnel due to ashes and clouds of life we find ourselves in. If we remember such words throughout, We stand a better chance of seeing a new day and brighter future, Again, Thank you very much for your comment, Time and recoginition....
