I was a burden to you before I saw,
Nine months down the line you've ripped what you sow and you've let me grow
You were so patient with me even though I was hard to raise
You're were like garden boy cause you've cutted all the toxic plants that were about grow in me
...

3rd season of the year.
The birds are singing a sweet harmony,
With a chant that attracts living ears.
Admiring the bloom of the trees while feeling morning's air.
...

It's hard to find me going to bed with dry, clear eyes,
It's always red eyes covered with warm salty water.
My pillows always give me a shoulder to lean on,
They are not judging me even though when I get up in the morning I left them dirty and wet.
...

Dear Somgaga.
I don't know what you're going through but you need to hear this:
If you held up 11 buttercups in front of the mirror, you'd be looking at 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.
Matter of fact when you appear on the screen, your confidence brightens up my day.
...

I never saw such beauty in my life:
A small dark chocolate beauty,
Brownish eyes with cute lips with no lipstick on.
Her voice is now my favorite sound that I would love to listen to every minute cause it's soft.
...

I don't know why thinking of you makes me smile.
Is it maybe you're my favorite person?
Or is it maybe I want all of you, all the string attached?
Well it doesn't matter cause I'm too busy being yours and, spending all my night reading texts from you.
...

You're my sun when I rain the heaviest, you turn my pain into rainbows of happiness.
I wonder how can I ever stop loving you. When every time I see you, I fall for you again and again.
I love you because in the world full of libraries,
You are a museum full of masterpiece, artefacts and vintage sculptures
...

In this valentine, I want you to kiss me until I forget how terrified I am of everything wrong in my life.
And I only want you. Nothing you can buy me is better than the days with you. Just give me more of that, and I'll be forever happy.
Because there is no one I want more in this world than you.
You're part of me, I can't imagine my life without you.
...

Nothing is more beautiful than you, and nothing is happier than me when I am with you.
If I was a star and you were a star. I would wink, blink and twinkle at you, until the earthlings call it science.
Well. When I see you, stars and rainbows don't make sense, they just pale in comparison to the brilliance you bring into my life.
...

I don't know how to say goodbye. I can't think of any words, because you left with my soul in your fists and my heart in your teeth, and I don't want either of them back. Since my heart does not longer feels like it belongs to me. It now feels like it had been stolen, torn from my chest by someone who wanted no part of it. I sometimes wish I could lose my memories, so I could have a clear mind, so that I could stop longing for the beauty of the future that we had planned together.

Ooh! I did not want you to leave me, perhaps someday I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow
...

There was a time when I didn't like myself at all. I thought I was a cruel joke. But now I've come to realise that maybe I am not cute, but I am beautiful.
Why should I try to change who I look like, what my race is? No. I am beautiful because that's the skin I was born with. I love it and I am proud of it.
To this day, the first thing that I do every morning is look in the mirror. I'll tell myself, 'Look at your skin. Look at your teeth and your smile. You are beautiful, you are worthy of love and respect. Don't let the storm make you forget it.'
...

Not even the most expensive camera can capture you the way my eyes do, I would love to take you out to dinner sometime but I could tell that you already ate, I mean you're super fine. It's not even Halloween yet, but I'm already dressed as your mom's favorite child in law. In fact if you want to make your mother proud, make her my mother in law. Do I have to apply for a visa to be in between your arms? You deserve to be treated well, that is why I exist
...

Let me make my vows:
They say Disneyland is the direct source of happiness,
but in my case, it has always been you. 
I used to not believe in God until he gave me you.
...

Hey. Let me speak,
I wish I were a love poet so I could dedicate every love poem to you, but now that you know I am not, I have to dedicate my whole heart and love to you.
They say beauty and brains does not match, I guess they haven't met you yet.
You're one of the smartest and prettiest human being on Earth.
...

Zezovuyo iinyembezi endinazo
zona zithatha ixesha ukuba ziyeke
ziyeka sele ndibengezela ndililanga
lona likhanya kude kudede ubumnyama.
...

Do wipe the sky once I leave,
Because I will be destined for peace.
Continue with life, please don't cry and please don't grief.
It's over, so please smile.
...

It was a hot Monday
and the sun was glowing like it got something to say.
At school I was so happy without having a fear of losing something,
it was a day I knew everything in my Matric journey and I felt like I'm Steve Harvey (my genius) .
...

They will bury you with dignity while they fail to treat you with dignity,
Seems like they will love you when you are out of breath.
Once you die everyone will love you even your haters too.
They promote funeral coffins cause they already picture you inside,
...

I want to love you in a safe way,
In a way that I know how to love.
I want to love you with your insecurities,
I want you to show me every body part that you hate so that I could kiss it.
...

I want you to tease me
Trust me it's easy
Allow me to take off your dress
So that I could play with your breast
...
