Xolani Mario Majola Poems

I have pondered countless times
The many ways to tell you this,
But the pain and fear of unrequited love
Left me frozen in place.
...

From the moment our eyes first met,
I knew in you, my love, I'd get,
A true soulmate, a guiding light,
You made my world so pure and so bright.
...

The room was bright, but it felt heavy.
I fumbled, words slipping out like sand,
awkward, clumsy, and not enough.
Their faces didn't mean to judge,
...

I am but a wanderer, drawn to the fire in you—
an unyielding force, fierce yet true,
never fading, never free.
...

If only I could speak as good as I write,
With words that flow like ink at night.
Where pauses breathe, and thoughts take flight,
No stumble or stutter, no fear in sight.
...

In the shadow of the mines, the air is thick,
With dust and despair, dreams unravel quick.
The promise of freedom, carved in our land,
Yet, for many, justice slips through their hands.
...
