A sign of poetry
Isaac afunadhula Jun 2021
Must be drained from his blood like the taste from her lips curved from her body
It must be pinned down with her emotions crying under her skin over the broken *** screaming from her lost sobbing mind.

Taste of my lover
Isaac afunadhula Jun 2021
The taste of my lover is like a scent from a rose
Like a melody from the singing bird
With the beauty that covers her face
Like an apple tree in the forest
l long to have her in my arms.

Child of her own
Isaac afunadhula Dec 2021
A mother calls out to her little one
Listen to what I say child of my own
Up lift your hands for the blessings cry out
The precious gift of life lies here with you child of my own
The stars and galaxies and all that are with in measure not to this ecstasy
My heart shall always beat with this endless love
You are a song in the night child of my own
And now this joy will forever be witnessed till the skies fade away
Dedicated to my mom

The Nagging Stranger
Isaac afunadhula Mar 2021
He stood on the front porch
wandering through
Anger in his voice as he speaks
The message on his face could be
decoded
He roams with misery everywhere he goes
His reputation preceeds him

Carry off in my dream

she was grotesque,

And there l was in another

Scarlet spencer
Isaac afunadhula Feb 2021
Light of a thousand stars in your eyes ,intoxicating smile
That sweet perfume of roses you carry with you when you walk
A beautiful angel whose name is whistled by the birds all through the streets
It's been plenty of years since you left heaven for earth
From the first time your parents held you in their arms
The joy you brought peace to their souls
Rekindled a glow that was forgotten
The friends you made that have seen you grow
Through the brightest & darkest times
To you that was poised and impeccable
For every ugly scar on you was a beautiful spot
You embraced love and wasn't selfish to share it
The world celebrates you
Happy birthday
There's thousand and more candles for you to blow.
Happy 14th birthday

No More Turning Back
Isaac afunadhula Oct 2021
Though the winds blow I will stay
Out in the open
To see prefect grace unfold
My heart shall give way to love
Time will be lost but I will give the highest praise
Worship for all my days in Your name
Savior of all in you I trust

I woke up in the marshes,
All l could hear was the wolves hawl
through the frigid forest.
I was weak to walk but my soul grew stronger.
The winds made me cold even in my jacket.
Alone in the dark with a torch running out of batteries.
Walk like a hunter in the night,
like a soldier at war
looking for the beacon of hope
That my bad days are over.

I want to know the truth
For you say that you
care for me
It seems that you don't,
for we are distant from each other
I know that l broke your trust but how can l make it up to you
I don't want to call it quits after everything that we been through,
and the secrets that we hold about our complicated relationship.
I can't take the pain and hurting away
At least we could could be friends who look out for each other.
For they say beautiful minds start a beautiful world.

The water cries
Isaac afunadhula Jan 2022
If my heart pours out
If the rains turns to snow
Then my heart shall find rest
To the delight of the world

If a cry for blood burns like a fire
In the far land of kasheki, then the song of the heartland shall be sung by the hyena's

If the moon shodows it's beauty under the blue skies
A roar shall be heard in the sea deepth

To the voices of the earth
I just want to sing beneath the sun
beneath the clouds
If the words that we say sometimes mean less in this life of uncertainty then we ought to do better for the greater good.

Dark soul
Isaac afunadhula Feb 2021
My soul was distant for my world
All I could see were the damages I had caused
For the humanity in me had Faded away
The rage in my eyes took a hold of me
For the monster that lived inside had awoke

A reason to live
Isaac afunadhula May 2021
Faithful you are who washed away sin and pain
Strengthen me and walk with me through the storm that l face
You took the blame and saved my soul
You called my name up in the mountain fog
A reason to live in my life again
You breathed within my soul
You grace and mercy unfold in the future
I thank you Jesus because you are with me now and forever.
Be blessed with this poem

Yesterday started with a
break down

will l still face trouble in the future
and battle for the survival fate the future holds.

Christ my saviour
Isaac afunadhula Oct 2021
Let it be by the winter storm that I find my worth
As I stand in your love that's undeniable
Living in the freedom that you died for is my desire
I stand in the grace that goes on forever
In You I will rest and find peace
You alone deserve the praise Jesus
I surrender Lord as l sing through the night of your goodness to me

to take a clear photograph
of the beauty this world is
endowed with
As l walked on an endless
road,
a mirage could be seen

My thirst grew and l knew
l was closer to sipping from
a stream
l was wrong
not everything you see is
what they are
Toughest lesson of my life

The moon and sun
Isaac afunadhula Sep 2021
There was the moon and sun before the beginning of time
With a point of reference they sang to the most High

The moon rubbed words of praise around the stars as He stretched out light to his child covered with mud who cried out as he worshipped

The moon and stars rejoiced to the son of God who stood with glory and might

The sun sobbing with overwhelming joy bowed down and sang all day to His true king in Heaven
I wrote this when I thought that I had lost everything but there I was inspired to write this poem

My heart keeps bleeding
Isaac afunadhula Feb 2021
I have nothing left
No hinges for support
So my world is falling
I'm trying to keep in with the strings
Am shaking coz my confidence died when you left
so each time l see the brushes shaking
l can't think it's the wind
like maybe there's an animal hidden there
trying to come for my blood
Your face the prettiest l have ever seen
Really how did l end up here
Far from being us
like we should jump on a train
to the day we met
leave all that followed normally
Escape those that could bring us down
I have been thinking about the future you planned for us
You said you loved me
I'm hoping we can start again
I keep knocking at your door
still no response
I know you hate me really bad
I deserve it
They say i'm cursed
whoever l attach myself to gets hurt
So maybe l should keep my distance but the painting on the wall says l should not
That's why l'm leaving you this message.

My lady
Isaac afunadhula Mar 2021
I have been sitted  in a train thinking about yesterday
We rubbed our nose's, kissed and wrote a new chapter of our lives
A day we spent at the beach looking at the freshwater as l cried tears of joy
A day that vividly happens when l close my eyes
My lady I  invite you to dine with my family
because you are the love of my life.
To all married couples.

Why
Isaac afunadhula Feb 2021
Why
Do l ask
Why
do l still hope for more?
Why
do we chase dreams?
Dreams that are fatal.
Why
do we blend with the lies?
lies that blind fold the future.
Why
do we hold back at a certain moment?
Why
is it hard to find success?

Esther
Isaac afunadhula Jan 2023
I dreamt of you
Not because I didn't think of you
But because I wanted to see you again

I dreamt of you
Not because I was told to
But because of this lonely feeling
That held me captive without you

I dreamt of you
Not because of your beauty
But because of your gentle touch

I dreamt of you
Not because I was told so
But because I wanted to see you stand next to me

Dear Keys
Isaac afunadhula Mar 2021
It's now two days since
l saw your beautiful face
The love that you showed me is
the best memory l could ever have
I lost you on a journey we took together
Your were life, a friend
Could talk to you out in the open.

Dear keys
You rain a storm of happiness
and now left with grief because you are gone.

Lost In Thought
Isaac afunadhula Jul 2023
Am a child of the universe
My dreams are shattered into tiny pieces
For the way of love is unknown

The heavens know this
Yet it wa si who adhered to melancholy
With the growing that dirfts us apart

It's been days, days
And yet my heart bleeds
With the fear of losing it all

How can one survive under this cold weather?
With hopes that she will return

Oh yield not on empty dreams
for all that is will soon be no more .

Struggles
Isaac afunadhula Jan 2021
Days run so fast.
Just yesterday,l was 10
And today ,l'm 15
And tomorrow, l will be 20
And maybe 40.
Hope l make it to 100
And tell stories to my grand
kids
About the walls l had to break
to survive
Some to make them smile
Others will be sad ones
And maybe they will cry
But in the end,each struggle
will be worth it.

As he looks up in the sky
he sighs and wonders
he gapes and almost staggers lost
He sees one surviving star shinning brighter than the wandering lot
casting his thoughts like fish net
he makes a wish to his loved ones maybe they laughed
at the old terrible joke of the palm squeezing greeting
Or cried about another broken ***
The kids must really be my blood
And maybe she laughed the same
terrible laugh
Or grimaced in similar ancient grief
Lined across her fore head the day l last saw her

The Untitled Truth
Isaac afunadhula Mar 2021
She said that she loved me
but didn't mean it
despite everything l did
From age to age hoped to marry you but the evil that breathed under your pretty face ruined and broke me
Only trusted you more than my own
like maybe you fell down from the stars to shine the light to the dark
You were the spirit of doom
For you were my first and will always hold a place deep in my heart because l still  love you.

My perfect lady
Isaac afunadhula Apr 2023
How beautiful you are, my love
Perfect and elegant within your limits
How far did we come far from being us,
I came down among the almond trees,
To see beauty flourish upon my lover's smile,
From the crowd of women that had six to eight
But I only love one,
She is lovely as a dove
Beautiful and bright,
As the dazzling sun and moon
A little purity is all I ask for
To taste the fruits of love,
That shine through those brown eyes
Cute as hell coz it's what you are
A beauty outspoken for.
Time is only a factor once you embark along the journey of love. The last two months have been worth living coz I met a girl that understands me.

The hunger and thirst for your goodness burns like a fire with in
Shine your light to my heart and soul
To declare Your worth

A gust of wind that blows under the sky
The beauty that roams defined only by the colors of true love
Voices echoing louder than a thunder struck
Strip strips off a zebra's back
Fading hope for the vase that held it all along
Is broken and the pieces are over the floor
Deafening silence holding the ambience
Melancholy has an open door through
Tears won't stop falling
Love is a myth ,l wish l listened when they told me.

Question Of Faith
Isaac afunadhula Apr 2022
What hope do we stand for?
If truly  there is love amongst us.
Is it just another lie we tell ourselves?
Just to get attention, we do all things.
Things that land us into the shallows of evil.
Even for the chosen that wander into the dark.
Only for what pleasure and pride?
What intent does the Church of Christ stand for?
Is it just another metaphor that we add to vocabulary?
Oh in this church where immorality is like an anthem.
And yet scripture forbids such act.
But all they say to themselves that God is our salvation.
I mean if the deaf and dumb know that is wrong.
Why not listen to what is right to find peace.
Oh Lord if only You have mercy upon this generation that has lusted and turned away from You.
If we choose to deny the truth and rather hide behind deception then there will be no hope that left. It's up to you to rise and take up your assignment to make a difference.

Scared Lover

The love I have for her pushes me from my friends

Angel Of Mine
Isaac afunadhula Oct 2021
Let your name be curved on to my lips
Let the blood lust crave for the emotional breakdown
Let your voice be heard in the intensity of the alphabet
Let the days start mendicant with memories of you and I
Let the dizzle  escalate this sweet moment
Let the bemused tension be felt in the stomach
Let the round of this game be zoomed in the streets of Florida
Let the bang at the door be darkened by your steps
Let the hair stand on edge close to mine
Let the invite to your domicile be sent by the birds
Let the wander of this heart rest in your embrace
Let flames of fire put a scar on to our souls
Let beauty intertwine to crash this empty thoughts
Time spent with the person that you love can change so much about you.

A hidden place
Isaac afunadhula Dec 2022
There is a place like home
Far way from this land of mine
A place so distant yet close to my heart
It's a place of beauty where I  long  to be
With everything that's full of splender within the delights of  His existence
Yes it is place only  for those that seek after Him
Indeed there is a place like home
Far away from this land of mine were the saints live forever.

Girl next door
Isaac afunadhula Jan 2021
I'm in love with the girl next door
she is pretty
My heart keeps falling for her
Even when l don't know her name
I can't describe these
feelings
A crush
An infatuation
At least it is not a hallucination
I'm in love with the girl next door
Today,she said hi to me
It was a golden moment for me
As l absorbed melodies from
her voice.
At least l now know her name
And will write my story
starting with her.
