Ignorance enemy of our lives
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
Ignorance enemy of our lives
Ignorance paves our perception of what life is when our parents are on the picture yet as soon as the picture fades away
Ignorance pushes reality check to sink in and when it does our lives are turned up side down
Ignorance is a state of mind that refuses to know right from wrong
It controls our mind into thinking that it is what it is
It only comes to **** and destroy one's intellectual like the enemy
Yet when it leaves and the friend visits
Questions of sorrow and guilt arise
Why was I so?
Why didn't I?
I could have just
I wish
If only
And only then time will have fled for it has no accomplices,it goes as planned
We are trapped in ignorance so much that we never see the importance of the picture to hang in there
We always walk pass through it as if it will always be there to guide us.
Time and ignorance have trapped the minds of born frees into thinking that is how it is suppose to be living young and free
Chains of ignorance have left uneducated child headed homes
Born frees with no vision
Born frees chasing behind a job instead of a career
Born frees passionate about wages instead of a vision
The unfolding vision of the born frees is yet to be told when the born frees are free from the chains of ignorance the enemy

Losing the inner you
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
I am lost in my own thoughts
Lost in my own imagination
Lost in my world
Life seems to pass me by
for I gallivant in the bushes, searching
soul searching
I fail to find the I in me
There  are many I's in me that I can not recognise the real I
Rituals ,customs,ceremonies
I still can not find myself
I think I forgot myself when I was adopting
the I's I met along the way
It was so easy to pick up them
Was it because I never knew the real I in me ?
Was it because I detested the I, I saw in the mirror ?
Was it because I never had the I in me ?
I am a lot of people in me
Every mirror shows a different reflection of me
I feel clouded
Who am I?
I am in danger of not knowing which I in me is me
Who am I?
I am lost in my own territory
love and appreciate yourself before you lose the inner you because of trying to be what you are not

ABBA's LOVE
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
My heat striking
A lighting after a long pouring rain
My eyes so alive
The smile on my face tell a story
A story full of astonishing mementos
I...i...I mubble and scatter
They ran away
Your greatness adorns the world

A great architecter of them all
Your designs are durable
Planner is your middle name
I...i...I mubble and scater
They ran away
For you loved the world so much
that you gave your only son
Your presence is like a great entrance of them all

I...I..I mubble and scatter because of the unconditional love and undeserved favour that overwhelms me and I run out of words
Each and every drop of my tears that fall when I worship is a true description of how profound I am of you

TREMBLE
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
We live in a world where silence is our safety key as i lie down i hear hammering, doors banging n key locks shaking, as i lie down tears fall down through my ears and in fear i tremble
As i wait for police in silence
I hear doors banging,key locks shaking,...
My soul keeps singing a small prayer "oh lord help us out,"
As i pray i keep mumbling because i hear footsteps n chains being dragged And in fear i tremble
I'm trying not to make any sounds but I fail to silence my heartbeat
It beats so loud and fast that i feel like my chest is tearing up
"Oh lord please help us out"
My soul sings
Teardrops in my pillow rapped around in blankets And in fear i tremble
I keep drowning in tears so much that by the time they make it to the door I'll be floating.

The Conspirator?
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
All I wanted was fidelity
You used to be my significant other
I used to be your object of affection
What happened to what you had for me?
Was I not worthy for you anymore?
Was I not appealing to you no more?
Was I not in your league anymore?
I used to know your heart at least I thought I did
I thought I knew what you wouldn't do to hurt me
but I guess I was fooling myself
Was she more of what you wanted ?
I mean the lady you're with
Is she what you've been longing for?
What made you love her while loving me?
Is that even possible ?
How can you love the both of us?
Knowing how profound I am of you
Where did you get the nerve to double cross me?
The thought of you doubling crossing me is a constant reminder of what love is, a back stabber
It stabbed me where no naked eye can see
Stabbed me to death
I keep bleeding in this death
It caught me off guard while I busy trapped In my orchestrated fantasy
All I wanted was you to be committed in loving me back
love is a back stabber at times

WOMEN
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
Wonderful creature of the universe created by the only God who rules and reigns

Your smile is an ever-lasting one that never fades away because of pain problems and obstructions
You were called a woman because you are wonderful man.
Nothing is too much or hard for you for you would do anything to fix a hot plate for your kids

No other person will take your place for you are warrior man who is capable of being a father figure and fill a mother's space simultaneously You not called a women for the mere fact that you are one of a kind
The only difference between you and a man is that you are a well organised man with a warm heart. and an overwhelming smile.

You cry when you happy
Laugh when you in pain
You able to wipe your tears and be happy for your children.
You do not mind having two jobs for you put food on the table
God created you to be a companion to adam yet you become a companion to all

Able or Not
Melissa Mhluzi Sep 2015
Ever since i've been on this cocoon
I never knew what being normal is
I never understood why I had to be different
I never understood why I couldn't do what others can
I never knew why I went on different school

As I grew...
I still couldn't get why I was a laughing stock
Yes, I was different but am I that funny?
What is it that makes me an isolated party in this island
Oh creator!!
if i'm made in your imagine then why am I  a vessel of laughter ?
Whether I take the stairs or the elevator
Whether I walk or I sit
I always have an audience

My life is a museum
A museum full of abnormal treasures
Oh creator
if i'm made in your image then why am I a vessel of corrections
As I grew...
I realised that it is not that I can't
I can
I can because i'm differently able not Disable

Oh creator I am made in your image
I might be a vessel of pity to man
But I know I am a vessel of hope and courage in your eyes
I am not disable
I am differently able
I will live my life with full joy
I will never let pity dictate my future
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

Oh creator
Regardless of how I walk or talk nor think
I am made in your Image
Inspired by the disabled persons

BLOOD SO THICK
Melissa Mhluzi Sep 2016
Fade away from the moon
Slip away from clouds
As the sky holds the shadow
Your deep voice on my mind
Loud as a striking lightning
That lightens and ease the pain
As it strikes
It leaves the heart torn
As the sky hold the shadow
Knitted pieces crack
Crumble and craze
They can not resist the amount of pain
Pain of the horns of blood
Blood so thick
It freezes at the thought of your  non-existence
As the sky holds the shadow
Mama you shall forever occupy my heart
Your touch may slip away from my hands
As the moon rotates
You will forever be my one TRUE LOVE
Death may have succeeded to  keep us apart
Might have taken my heart with you
Might have taken my soul with you

But you will always be MY ONE AND ONLY

It left a huge bleeding hole and
When the wind blows
The circumference EXPANDS
When the wind blows
It bleeds
It bleeds
When your face passes my mind
It mourns
Mama as the sky holds the shadow

I hate you
Melissa Mhluzi May 2015
I feel despair, desolate, despondent
You have diametrically detached me from my roots
It is because of the pain and the sorrow you bring that I"m destitute
Gunshots, accidents, ambulance sirens and police sirens are becoming
painful music unto my bleeding ears and they remind me that you're still there
Our journey to heaven has good intentions yet I detest how you force my brothers and sisters to abdicate what they are destined for
We embark on blood-print streets with eyes full of non-committal attitude because fear and hatred that seem to follow our shadow
Waking up is like a nightmare itself for we always wake up to dig six feet tall, spades and tents are our weekly bread
We live our lives with the hate of your existence and I detest how you defend yourself based on the doings of Adam and Eve
I am tired of your diabolical actions that have cost the nation
It is because of you that I am destitute

Heart Aches
Melissa Mhluzi May 2015
Songs of joy
Songs of joy caused by he who made my eyes, ears and teeth glow  like morning sunshine.
He who spoke like a controlled speaker, said the things my ears and heart longed for and because of that I secretly closed the door for disappointment.
You broke the transparent glass I bought for you
All you can do know is to pick up the pieces
Pick them slowly, for it aches
I swallow broken classes in this nightmare
Wake me up, would you wake me up please?
Tell me you'd never do that to I
Buy me time machine so I can go back and secretly open the door
and this I promise I would not cry
This time I promise I will handle the surprise with brains
No, I wont share salted water for you.
Can you do that for me ?
I am sure you can right?
Fine brother.

WAITING
Melissa Mhluzi Jun 2015
Every second feels like a century
As my doubts and insecurities reach point of no return my thoughts twine
How long will i wait?
The reflection of myself keeps building a mountain of hope inside my patience
As i Drown in my tears i comfort the hope n patience like a crying motherly sick baby @the back of a stranger
How long will i wait?
How long will my bones tremble in pain,
waiting for something that probably won't happen
As i wait my mind  plays a rewind of  version of imaginary events that suddenly awakens the hope that i thought had died long time ago
My desperation for success is visible so much that my DNA dictates so
Knowing that there's tomorrow gives the hope in me the hope that there's a chance that maybe just maybe i can have my break through

— The End —
