Yoyama Magwashu Poems

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 wasn't ready to say goodbye,
I wasn't ready to see you in deep sleep
Wearing clothes that you loved 'church clothes.'
Sleeping in your bed that matchs with your outfit,
...

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.
...

They say, 'if you kiss a wound it will heal, ' but I can't kiss your heart.
So I will kiss your lips, your face and every other body parts,
Wishing that one day those kisses will sink in and touch your heart that's all I want.
Because there's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away.
...

Irrespective of what people say, I would never stop loving you. Even if my heart stops beating, my soul would need you.
Because you fill the empty void in my life.
Just as the sunset paints everything with bright hues, your love paints my life with wonder and happiness.
Like a soothing rain that refreshes Mother Earth, your love replenishes my soul. It is everything to me.
...

Our father, who art in heaven.
I come before you again today, my Lord, to ask a boon of you. Please offer me and her your divine protection that nothing may happen to either of us, but more especially her. Please watch over her and keep her safe from harm.
Bless her, Lord, so that people will see all the good she has done and the hard work she puts in every time. She deserves all the attention and praise for she is dutiful and dedicated. May she be rewarded for her diligence and perseverance.
Heavenly Father, I express my gratitude for the gift of life and your constant protection over me. Thank you for watching over us every day.

Life is hard,
So hug me when
you see me.
