Jeremiah Mhlongo Dec 2020
In all joy,
Suffering tears,
Pleasures weighed to dirt,
Now inking beauty,
All that is left is death,
This body doesn't want in,
I bare alone witness to my sacrifice,
Heaven perhaps will suffice.
Jeremiah Mhlongo May 2020
I love it,
How you let me sink,
Into wonderland,
My thoughts falling,
All into place,
Pinch me,
I can't be dreaming,
Oh, I am living a dream
Liked to Walter Mitty, reality is what we perceive or make it.
Jeremiah Mhlongo Apr 2020
The trees swinging,
IĀ  sat at a corner,
Of a certain building unfinished,
Brick by brick,
The shovels ***** with mortar,
Unwashed, drying,
Smoked my last cigar,
Unfeeling, I might have caught cancer.
Quitting My Addiction.

MY LETABA.


Greater are you my Letaba,
Scorched by porvety,
You feed us,
Your hand,
Is great.

Your hand took us,
Led us out of acrid desserts,
Where dreams where buried,
We flourish in your greatness,
Oh Greater Letaba.

You quench our thirsts,
Our babies nurtured,
In your care and land,
Vast beauty you have flowered,
Your hand in lend to all.

Your heart is mighty,
We are your cubs,
Oh Greater Letaba,
Now and forever,
Let your milk strengthen us.
My 1st praise poem, if its fitting to be one
Jeremiah Mhlongo Nov 2017
She didn't know much
She ****** hated the long line
She just didn't know.
She was simply the First.
Wrapped in my tiny little heart.
Grabbed she her sorrow and left.
Its so sad I wasn't the best
At least she had my  bigger cut.
Now she left my heart indebt
Broke and wound.
She hated this queue,
Now am left soul dripping,
And solo abiding.
no goodbyes.
A memory lingers.
and the rings for our fingers.


Divorce and remorse.
Make your line of women short.
Jeremiah Mhlongo Sep 2017
She sought for Romeo,
She found a man,
No hero,
Sweet as honey,
A Charming butterfly,
He became hard,
A ****,
A *******,
He made her mad,
Its so sad,
That love can leave you dead,
No Romeo no Juliet,
******* plays a bigger part,
That's all this lovers lust.
To that relationship that lasted One and Five. Sometimes your true love is your worst nightmare.
Jeremiah Mhlongo Aug 2017
Sweet lips.
Juicy hips.
A *****.
To saduce.
Unto death.
Caressed to sin,
Forbiden meals to dine,
Overthrow tha devil,
Savour and devour no evil.
She rode me to hell,
With flowers heavenly,
Some scent of olive to connive,
I was annoited with gasoline to burn.
Tied to the grave To life I wont return.
Sometimes the people you fall in love with are the devils daughters sent to invite you back to hell.
