Strawberry T. Dube Poems

The only time we have access to friends
Is during dreams and fantasy,
We sometimes see ourselves as sky scrapers,
Who hunt dreams by shooting stars,
...

I am from emjondolo,
I grew up with no father,
And i would push a brick
pretending as if it's car,
...

Ngiyabonga mama,
Mama ungiphile ithuba lokuphila,
Ngibonga ukuphuma ngiphephile
Njengabo bonke nami ngitshengise impilo.
...

Mhla ngibethelw' esiphambanweni,
Ngangifela ezenu izono, enizenza emhlabeni,
Owayephethe wathi mugwazeni.
Ngakho-ke nani mhlabenibuza
...

I didn't cry
Because they were looking at me,
I said everything is fine
Because they always
...

The Best Poem Of Strawberry T. Dube

Chasing Dreams

The only time we have access to friends
Is during dreams and fantasy,
We sometimes see ourselves as sky scrapers,
Who hunt dreams by shooting stars,
Words keep on reminding us
In us reside gigantic souls.
Poetry telling you that
Tears were meant to clean our eyes,
Because after crying we see things clearly,

Then arrested man in this prison called
'i m not wise'
Hense we fail to be social even on media,
But poetry strike at the right time
Telling us and reminding us,
That in this life there are things that
We were not forced to do,
But we are bind to do,
We are being blinded when trying to do

We sometimes follow friends...
We do no know where they are heading to.
At home i was taught
Not to speak about something i don't know.
So when someone ask, 'do you know love? '
I'd say No...
But there is one thing i know,
It turned many to creatures
who plant their dreams in those dark caves,
Lust turned us into slaves,
Well a man said, 'things went wrong,
When people choose to dance to the song,
Instead of listening to the lyrics'
We vibe until morning...
Bang! We saw that we were dancing
For the wrong song...

Maybe if we change the ability of our hearts
to our brains,
We would have never
Do the elaboration of the word 'hate'
Because our brains would have
Taught us what reality is..
Instead of lust mutual using us, love and other infidelities.

Your the voice that many of us wish we could have..in your inner simplistic sense you evoke a revolution that is charged with a timeless gift of love. Standing further as a beacon of light to a hurting world in need of creative arts. Never relent to give up on the fight stand tall & smile! We all could write poetry if we wish the truth is we just chose not to. Many have a judge mental spirit that kills creativity in the arts. Hearts must take heed to the real call of love to light the inner spark of what they are truly waiting for. Face it, rejection is very common in the poets life but don't let that deter you in living up to your fullest potential. There are those whop constantly look to the mistakes that other poets make & they rub it in your face for it. Now is the time to relax & enjoy yourself in the arts & share the beauty of your latest creation to the mass populace.
