Ugogo Mhlanti Poem by Paris Thulare

Ugogo Mhlanti

Rating: 4.0

Intokazi yenhle kwenkanyezi,
Indoni yamanzi,
Indodakazi yomhlaba.
Yena ngempela uyismomondiya, Ingane eyaziwa ngabaphansi,
Khuluma nami Qhawekazi.
Ungisize nami ngiqhumane no gogo nokhokho,
Awu! Phela impepho nomcebo zaziwa nguwe mbali enhle.
Shayi ingoma emnandi
sphuthumise igazi

The supernatural one,
The imperentural kind.
Ughogho Mhlanti we mhlabhathi
Roaring with such Beauty that melts ngha'phaghathi.

The she who know the bones in sizes, she sees, heals all the crisis
She frees, the meeps all the frownies.
Let me poetisize you, wear you with my lyrics.
Like the maths teacher sharing the theory of arithmetic.

You are the asymptote of my culture,
The she whom when i see, my retina speaks in jabs and tags
I gag, brag, like when craving a big mac
I dont smoke crack, i need no rehab,
You are like my fourite snack.

You are that Jeep Cherokee SRT,
Brand new from dealership at UCT
Always in the mood, my soothe
In good ways, you sway me, like a smoothie

Heavens prostate when they see you,
Waters and the soothing breeze speak highly of your deeds,
Even mountains at sundown sing of you.

Bow down and say praises
Crouch and hear such lyrics
Its you and me who should give her the respect,
Ndoni yamanzi
Thokoza Gogo👏🏾

I like the way one language melts into another, like the sensuous presence of divine femininity. I can sense the incantory tone in the words of your native tongue.
