tawanda omphile plaatjie Poems
Take a walk in my shoes
Infact let me take you down a path, seatbelt on
And please, keep the shoes on
...
I am simply Tawanda
To many a wonder
But to they that take credit for my existence, a blessing.
...
A little angel that visited from heaven
You couldn't stay to see the years unravel
Your father the creator had other plans for you
It is time for you to receive the blessing that in his plans for you is long overdue
...
Something else that Gabriel Mogomotsi Rasenyai and I came up with...
Quaint: Let us meet in a different place we haven’t been to
Let me sing you a song like the wonder years
...
'Let he who desires peace prepare for war'
A truth so very raw
Hits you harder that a Mike Tyson right hook to the jaw
...
One foot in front of the other
One step after another
Hold on, you are almost at the finish line
It is just a matter of time
...
what makes a friendship?
when do we know we have crossed the fine line between just hanging out and being on each other's friendship walls?
is there a trial period?
...
My dearest Lindelwa,
Your name rings with familiarity over and over in my head,
Every day you take form, and become a reality I cannot shake off, or really comprehend,
First it was your beautiful big brown eyes, with lashes long and curly; no one can question your roots,
...
It is almost 4am
You do not know how glad I am
It is not about being inadequate
But seeing myself as immaculate
...
A lifetime ago I beamed like rays of a summer afternoon sunshine,
Bringing life to the greenery, making the birds sing sweet summer melodies,
Summer all throughout the year in my heart,
Warm summer rain in my veins, side by side my deep red blood,
...
They say promises are made to be broken
And hearts meant to be broken
Oh why are they so mistaken?
All that time wasted
...
Once upon a time I met a boy,
I thought he was the most irritating thing breathing,
The way he made fun of everything I said or did,
I wanted to wipe him off the face of the earth.
...
When you walked out of my life
You cut my heart with a sharp knife
It broke into a thousand pieces
I tried really hard to find peace
...
My friend Gabriel Mogomotsi Rasenyai and I were playing around with words and came up with this...
Quaint: Café blue, jazz sounds, coffee and laughter
A magnetic chemistry that is yet sweet in its lack of innocence
...

The Best Poem Of tawanda omphile plaatjie
Take A Walk In My Shoes
Take a walk in my shoes
Infact let me take you down a path, seatbelt on
And please, keep the shoes on
It is everybody`s story
Nothing special about it
But someone has to tell it
Raise your hand if you have gone hungry for a night
I’m not talking about going hungry for a diet
Don’t be shy, I have both my hands up
You see I have gone hungry for a night,
infact make that two nights, and not just once
The third night she wouldn’t let it go on though,
this plump pillar of strength
Close your eyes and let me ignite your imagination model c
Smoke smells from everywhere
Neighbors looking over their walls to see this fire that has broken out
Ready to make emergency calls
What they see is a sorry sight in their eyes, but an act of love in mine
Love that only I will ever truly understand
There in the middle of a yard without those prestigious walls, she made a fire
Preparing supper for her children, supper that boasts nothing of that balanced diet they tell us about,
Just a pot of porridge to fill our stomachs until the next day when she makes another plan
Exaggeration you say
Then you might want to flip on to other pages, for something more cheerful
You see she is to you just another subject someone wrote about
To me she is the best gift I have ever received
My mother the counselor, her degree in counseling obtained from the school of life
Time and time she reminded me
You are beautiful, never mind what they call you
Mokwerekwere is not even a word, you my daughter are exotic
Yes finally many of you understand where it comes from
My mother the doctor, between my brother and I getting hurt over the years, she had no choice but to master the science of medicine
I cannot tell you the number of trees I have climbed up and down, always bringing home a souvenir
Be it a scratch or a broken arm
My mother the lawyer
This particular degree I believe I forced her into, but she let herself be schooled anyway, just so she could protect me
I could go on and on about her million professions, but my favourite of all
My mother, the mother
If I ever amount to half the woman she is
I will die with a full smile
How are those shoes feeling on your feet?
You can take them off now, and let me wear your shoes
Tell me about your mother
