Andiswa Mvanyashe Poems
Intyantyabo ibintle namhla iyabuna
Uncumo beluqaqambile namhl'oku sisililo
Mhlawumbi bekufanele
Namhla umdlalo uyaphela
...
Layaphina ibhongo neqhayiya
Lokuzidla ngobuntombi bakho?
Zayaphi iinkomo zikayihlo?
Ingaba isibaya asiqhekezwanga na?
...
Is it the tears of a hungry child?
Abused, neglected, beaten and bruised?
Is the cry of a woman watching her child die?
Are these the tears of a woman watching her husband leaving her for a man?
...
Rose that grows stronger than a tree
You carry food to the nations
You bring leaders and heroes in this world
Your dignity calms the storms
...
My imaginations failed
I had hope from nothing
Our worlds were different
Our languages were different
...
We give it all away
And are left emptied
We get beaten,
And left by the side of the road
...
Even if they could take you away,
You'll never be too far.
When the sun shines,
I see you smiling
...
I thought we were the same
We lived under one river
We shared happy moments and sad ones
We chatted till the sunset
...
In the desert I live
No sound and no people
I realised something was missing
In the desert I live
...
I was looking for nothing,
But I found something
But realised I got nothing
Was it there? It's a question
...
Eating and get enough of it
Shortcut to h***
You live scars of life
Enjoyment small like a seed
...
My lover monster is tall and masculine
I saw him smiling from the distance
When I got closer he was roaring like a lion
My lover monster is looking for anyone to devoir
...
Ungawabamba na lo mathontsi eyembezi
Esithi chiphi chiphi ezandleni zakho
Ungawuthwla na lo mthwal’ osinda nedonki yam
Ungasimela na esosikhalo esivela kwintliziyo eyophukile
...
Ndinebhongo kwaye ndiyazingca ngoba nguMxhosa
Umngqokrolo, oonombhoholo, oozalipholile inene zinto zakuthi
Sithetha ingathi siyangqisha kukhale ubuqaqaqa nobuqum-qum siqhaqhazela ukutyityimba sixel' ingcolosi mhla kugquthayo
Inene ndinebhongo loba ngumXhosa
...
I got the rag
I saw it coming
Washable but still a rag
People admired it
...
He smelled her perfume from afar
Listened to her heart beat
Understood her in silence
He wondered, watched
...
Gram gram iyagramzeka
Wayitha iyatheka
Wayinambitha iyaginyeka
Iyiphekile intombi kaMqithi
...
Meeting Apollo on the way
Tall and handsome
I bet! I saw a Greek god
Are you a mortal?

The Best Poem Of Andiswa Mvanyashe
Sala Kakuhle Sithandwa
Intyantyabo ibintle namhla iyabuna
Uncumo beluqaqambile namhl'oku sisililo
Mhlawumbi bekufanele
Namhla umdlalo uyaphela
Sala kakuhle sithandwa.
Mhla wumbi besisaphuca
Mhlawumbi besisabhidekile
Kodwa ke yonke into inesiphelo
Kwazi bani okuzayo?
Sala kakuhle sithandwa.
Ukonakala kwenye kukulunga kwenye
Hleze ubambo lwam lundilindile,
Mhlawumbi ukufa kusemnyango
Kwazi ban'isind' entweni
Sala kakuhle sithandwa.
Mhlawumbi ndaphandlwa bubuhle
Mhlawumbi ndabona cala limbi
Izinto azihambanga ngesiqhelo
Iphini lomele emqaleni
Sala kakuhle sithandwa.
