Seth Yuhi Musinga Poems

Under the oak tree, next to the river,
With NONHLANHLA my sweet rose.
I look at her lips and the big blue eyes.
I take her hand gently and bring it close to my lips
...

the benevolent affection of God for His creatures,
the reverent affection due from creatures to God
sharing and caring for others
sharing laughter and tears
...

Mother as wise as Solomon,
beautiful as the purple flush of dawn,
eyes like eccentric moons that quiver in some stationary tarn,
her love dwells like moonlight in my face,
...

5.

Death comes,
like a starved wolf in the savanna,
knock at thy door like a thief
and takes your breath away.
...

My Laptop has a name
Its Apple MacBook Air 13-Inch (2015)
Its life begins with a disk drive
It got various basic dialects such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal
...

Happy is the man, who finds a true friend,
who is always there during ups and downs,
who overlooks your failures and tolerates your success,
who help you get through the tough times,
...

Mosquitoes' lives may be ephemeral,
their deaths almost always brutal.
but during their temporary span,
nothing will stand in the way
...

Flowers provide a boost of energy, happiness and enthusiasm,
they are the reason why people smell so good every day,
women and flowers are the loveliest thing on the world,
they make me happy, and rejoice my heart,
...

10.

By all these lovely tokens autumn days are here,
with summer's best of weather,
and autumn's best of joyfulness,
every soul is dedicated to it,
...

The earth is a truly incredible place,
but its environment is taken for granted.
The natural beauty of seas and forests are beyond compare,
and yet we continue to pollute and corrupt them.
...

Their spirit beat the void, like the bird from out the ark.
Their soul was as a lampless sea.
Their thoughts came yapping and growling round them like a pack of curs.
They breathe to Heaven like vapor goes.
...

As beautiful as the purple flush of dawn,
loveliness broke on me like some rare flower,
eyes like mountain water that overflowing on a rock,
as bright as a blazing star,
...

Their thoughts are buzzing like a swarm of bees,
their tongues are like polar needles,
their eyes are hollows of madness and hair like moldy hay,
their laugh moves like a bat through silent haunted woods,
...

They demean your value and destroy your image,
utter wild cries like creatures in pain,
their expressions change with the rapidity of a kaleidoscope,
faces change with each turn of their talk,
...

You're Friend

There emanates a point in your life
when you recognize who actually matters,
...

I stand up high upon a peak,
watch natures beauty flourish,
and hear the pleasant bird songs.
...

So pleased you came into my life,
thank you for opening my soul to love again,
it has been so long since I have sneered like this,
so long since I have loved like this,
...

Thunder and lightning proclaimed his birth,
On a stormy day in Louisville Kentucky.
His young life spent in cloudy weather of Louisville,
Training at a farm near Reading, Pennsylvania,
...

I wake up wanting to chat to you,
I go to sleep thinking about you,
and I dream about you holding me
the way only you do.
...

Seth Yuhi Musinga Biography

Seth Yuhi Musinga was born on the farm Karetes in the Fransfontein district of Namibia. World War 1 drove his parents from their farm in Kalkveld and he was born in the farmyard, under the shadow of a pear tree. He attended school in St Michael's RC Primary School and St Joseph High School. He received teacher's training at Academy College in Windhoek then studied education management in North-West University, South Africa from 1995 to 2000 (Correspondence) . He worked as a teacher in St Michael (1983–1985) , Rössing Uranium Mine (1987–2003) and Skorpion Zinc Mine (2003–2006) . Literary career By the late nineteenth Century, Musinga had begun to write poems. His novels are a reflection of his outlook on life. He spent most of his life insulated from certain sections of society. Most novels were also based on the idyll of rural country that Musinga was so fond of. The strength of Musinga’s novels is his ability to gain penetrating insights into the character and nature of human relationships, from even a fairly limited range of environments and characters. Although he wrote successfully in all literary genres, he is first of all a poet. Among my 250 and odd volumes of poetry are My Life Story (1990) , My Visit to Hell (1993) and War Veterans (1987) , Lover (1980) , My Love for you (1997) and Oh, So Sweet (188) , a letter to her (1937) , Nelson Mandela (1939) and Kuku Vivi Kandongo (1952) . His verse is notably simple and musical, making use of traditional verse forms such as the rondeel, intertextual references and techniques such as the switching of idioms, epigrams and spellings.)

The Best Poem Of Seth Yuhi Musinga

Oh, So Sweet

Under the oak tree, next to the river,
With NONHLANHLA my sweet rose.
I look at her lips and the big blue eyes.
I take her hand gently and bring it close to my lips
I place my hands lightly around her waist, oh so sweet
I wrap my hand around the nape of her neck and gently pull her toward me
I put my hands on the sides of her beautiful face
Using my thumb to sweep across her cheekbone
Oh, so sweet

I gave her a few light kisses on her cheek
I whisper all the naughty things I have in store for her
Then moved to her forehead and her mouth
Lightly pull at her bottom lip with my teeth
I watch her eyes roll back in her head
I rake my fingernails down the side of her neck and back,
And tug her hair after warming her up with some soft, sensual kissing
Oh, so sweet

Start with a closed-mouth kiss, and then barely part my lips to add a hint of passion
I hold her hand, touch her waist and cup her jaw
She breathes through her nose and exhale softly into my ear
The waft of warm air make my whole body tingle
I continue with my tongue exploration inside her mouth
And give her bottom lip a playful bite
Oh, so sweet.

Note: NONHLANHLA, girls name in Zulu language meaning ``luck``.
