Stanley Siyanga Poems

JESUS THE KING AND LORD MOST HIGH.......
...

I am a slave without honor, a peasant without dignity, A prisoner of my own constructs. I scorned the wisdom of the wise and jumped into the arms of adversity. Now my price is to be paid in full.

I am a slave without honor, a peasant without dignity, A prisoner of my own constructs. Heavy are the chains that bind my feet, dark is the abyss i now call home. My body remembers not, the pleasures of bathing in the neon rivers of sunlight, my ears estranged even to the faintest melodies of distant swan.
...

Let the moon be clothed in sorrow and pain, for my dear brother is no more.

Let the birds find no rest in the night's shadows, let them ham a song of sorrow for happiness has evaporated from the leaves of my mothers heart.
...

Emotions are like the grains of fire falling off a delicately brittle cadaver as it succumbs to the laws of physics, weightless to scale but heavily impactful..

Emotions are like a sweet aroma of snow, thawing off the faces of pine trees hastily making its way to the open air from a long forgotten yard of graves.
...

Voices of forgotten martyrs, echo through the cloisters of time

Ambers of courageous men, burning dishonorably under a starless sky
