William Ndoyisile Somenze Poems

You`ve rised before my blinded eyes, blinded eyes with tears i`ve cried, tears that have been trickling down my face for long, i thought you`d be better, you`d be the napkin to wipe away tears i`ve shed with past years, thought you`d make me glitter, but in vain, you`ve made everything i did worse, made me feel so wrong, like i am living from the back of a hearse, you were a ruinious year,
...

Being black hurts,
We try hard to travel in carts,
Whereas we live in shacks,
We compete amongst ourselves,
...

I don't expect people to like my illness,
Cause its spontaneous,
Its perilous because it depicts how unique I am,
Yeah I know; lack of wellness,
...

touch...

touch my heart so full of glass,
dont do it much for it may break,
...

The world we live in,
its an abyss where lives and dreams are thrown,
where Mothers throw aside their long dresses and get on skirts to tempt young Men,
leaving their husbands in soleness.
...

My heart wails, Like A caged bird singing a sadness song,
so sole that it even dances to its own heart beat, moulding potrait of words to endeavor & shudder the loneliness inside its heart like a drum, but it invain,
all it can feel pacing up through its veins its a vast vacantness altering to be some nameless pain.
...

i told her how i feel,
i pronounced the feelings inside me,
like a flower at spring,
blossoming-articulating its inner beauti,
...

i am a broken part that has lost its constituent,
i am a part broken,
its pieces stolen..
a part with emotions swollen.
...

Cease praying, cease praying for me, i hate seeing you hurting, hurting to have back the son i used to be, one filled with smiles, happiness and liberty.
i`l be fine, you see pain has lost me, it has set a construction company within me to build a boulder, a vicinity around my heart to be vicious, it has darkened my vivid mind and thoughts,
...

Of all things i`ve said to you,
my heart is not pounding in happiness,
but twisting and turning in pain...
Is this what you wished me to go through?
...
