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,
...
Dlungwana son of Ndaba!
the greatest warrior of all times
conceived out of wedlock by his mother Nandi and his father
voracious one of Senzangakhona
...
I thank you for waking me up today, another day of life.
I pray this morning that I will surrender my spirit completely to You.
I pray that you watch over me today at work and I pray that there are no accidents.
I pray that the God who gives hope will fill you with much joy and peace while you trust in him.
...
On my way to the Northern of Namibia,
between Kalkveld and Otjiwarongo,
I saw a woman next to the road,
a tall, battered figure, with blood-stained cloths,
...
Just because I'm silent,
doesn't mean I don't have a lot to say.
Just because I laugh a lot,
doesn't mean I don't take things earnestly.
...
As the sun rises in the morning
I am overwhelmed with a burning desire
My love for you is as cool as a cucumber
Your personality shines bright like a diamond
...
Hang on, the Lord will give you strength in any act of your pursuit
Keep trusting God, He will lead you in every step of the journey
Don’t live by other people’s time tables, live by Gods Time Table.
Don’t underestimate your ability to pick yourself up and keep going.
...
Where time has no place within the peace and composure,
squeeze and revive my inner most dreams,
and yearnings refresh my relationship with the sea,
where days are idyllic and nights mystic.
...
alteration between success and failure
astuteness to win challenges
ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives
ability to work together toward a common hallucination
...
I'm tired of people thinking,
they know what I'm going through,
of tête-à-tête that comes to nothing,
and that I'm doing this or that right or wrong.......
...
Do what you love to do,
embrace changes and encounter disappointment,
give it your very best,
make peace with your past
...
Can you see the sadness behind my eyes?
would you be able to feel my pain?
think how it`s feel like
to be by yourself and frightened
...
Listen! Clam up your mouth and be silent like an oyster shell,
Your tongue is the enemy of your soul
Death and life are in the control of the tongue
Your tongue can be sharp, ugly and venomous like a toad
...
Flood over my mind.
When I think of Karetes.
I feel complete.
With all the family there.
...
Unkosi Rholihlahla Mandela,
born into the Madiba clan in the village of Qunu
grow up in Mvezo in Umtata, Transkei
Dalibhunga, the prince of the Tembu tribe
...
Namibia a West African country, on the Atlantic coast
Namibia’s beauty is wonderfully surreal and alluring,
With endless savannah and bushland
With most stunning landscapes in Africa,
...
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``.
