Malibongwe Mfiki Poems

Enchanted in the ectasy of the moment
sorrows creep away
like night in the wake of dawn
a promise of bliss advancing my ranks
...

Alone I stand in this dark
desolate shore,
Watching the sun sail across...
the noon sky,
...

My words are stuck in my mouth
any form of utterance i'm deprived of
as I trickle my ink down the pages
of this bartered scroll
...

All I wanted was to hit a high.
reach a peak with you, build
a heaven, erect a golden staircase to
your temple, insert an entrance
...

Go ahead set me alight
watch my pasteur go to ruins
see my smoke suffuse the air
under the starry evening's glare
...
