Vangile Mtyali Poems

Can someone give me real woman!
A woman with an original body
Breast, hips, lips, face
everything original
...

Mother nature
Oh mother nature
How beautiful and lovely you are
With such a tender loving care
...

Loneliness drove me to settle for less
I saw that one gray hair
I saw those few wrinkles
I looked at the calendar
...

I watched you
As you took my life right in front of my eyes
And left me helpless
I watched you
...

Wanna know why I'm daddy's little princess
I'm daddy's little princess
Cause of his love for me
Daddy would rather lay down his life for me
...

I have done all wrong things I could think of
Broke someone's heart
Disrespected my mother
Said things I wasn't supposed to say
...

It was only when I was half of 50
That I realized there was still a little girl inside me crying for her daddy
Wanting him to embrace her
Wanting him to tell her she is beautiful
...

Being me
And being a poet I have always
And I mean always had a voice
And a sense of presence
...

It's been four months since you walked out that door
I still remember it as if it was four seconds ago
Its been four months now
Its was two...
...

I’m a young African woman
I’m Zulu speaking
I dance to the rhythms of the drums
Which were played my for fathers
...
