"sihlangene" poems
Bengingazi
Kuma ikhanda ngiqalaza.
Kuqine ingqondo nginga qondisisi.
Kuqhume nehlombe labaqhathi,
Mabebona uqhekeko luqhubeka
Phakathi kwethu.
Bekubuhlungu besibona sihlangene,
Sithamele umthunzi wesihlahla.
Sihlezi sihlanganisa okuhle.
Ngihleke kuvele elomhlathi,
Mabezama ukusihlukanisa.
Ngingazi ukuthi,
Uyazi ukuthi,
Bayazi ukuthi,
Angazi ukuthi,
Niyahlekisana ngasese.
Bengingazi ngibambe isisila sehobhe.
Sengisele nezimpaphe ezandleni.
Awachihwe lamanzi,
Isindizile inyoni yami.
Akusenani sebeyoyicutha phambili.
Sekulungile yize kungelungisekile.
Sewungilahlile yize ngingakalahleki.
Sebekuthathile yize ubungathatheki.
Sekwanele yize nginganelisekile.
Sekuphelile yize kungaphelelisiwe.
Hleze nawe awazi,
Ukuthi ngiyazi,
Ukuthi awazi,
Ukuthi ngizoyaphi.
Mangilahlwa nguwe.
Selidume ledlula.
Sengizoqoqa okuslele.
Ngizoqongqothela ngesokugcina isipikili.
Ukubona kanye ukubona kabili.
Bengingazi lilethe isifundo.
