Nkosazane Poem by Siphamandla Gumede

Nkosazane

Yiba ngozothile ozihloniphayo,
Nami ngiyoba yiqhathanzipho uqobo.
Ngikuvikele kwizivunguvungu neziphepho.
Ngikufukamele okwamachwane,
Ngikuvikele koheshane babakhapheyana.
Ngifenyise ingozi yembuzi
Egudla iguma.

Yiba ngozigcinile.

Ngizokufunza injula yothando,
Ngizishaye ziphele, bakikize.
Bakikize kwenu nakwethu.
Ungimisel' iduku ngoNtulikazi,
Babe zindimbane nofakazi.
Sigcagce emini lithe saka.
Okwakho wukuvuma mntanomuntu,
Ungithungise lembenge,
Siyiphethe sobabili.

Siyiphethe lapha siyiqale laphaya.
Ngikuvikele kungqoqwane neziphepho,
Sihlale ngokwethaba nentakaso.

Ngiweze nami ngelibanzi,
Ze ungifundise ukuba ngumongi,
Ngikuphathise okwamachoboka, uhlale
Umamatheka.
Umamatheke ungithwebule ngothotho,
Ngithithize sakuthithibala.

Ntokazi

Lolucu ngolwakithi kwa......
Ngalwabelwa yizinyandezulu,
Zona ziluphathiswe nguMvelinqangi.

Yiba ngowami

Owami ingunaphakade,
Owami ekuseni,
Emini
Nantambama.
Owami ngedwa zwi
Okwezinyo libulala.

Okwakho wukuvuma mntanomuntu,
Ungithungise lembenge,
Siyiphethe sobabili. Kakade
Ubucwibi obuhle buhamba
Ngabubili.

Spha M imbongi ayishaywa
