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,
...

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,
