Matlapa Maphologela Poems

I'm addicted to words, drink letters, eat phrases and paraphrases.

Few see my behavior relate me to a poet.Others say I'm a writer.
...

Early in the morning I heard the sound of a chicken, woke up and went there. To a place called work by many and making a living by few.

There where I create future structures with present planned drawings. We did them all.
...

I started being addicted to words when I was 17, life taught me the meaning of them as I grew older. went thru the modules named situations, I learnt and passed few, others to re-do in the next semester.

Far from graduation, the course it's Profession in my own field. Enjoying daily lessons and weekly assignments, well prepared for semester tests and yearly examination.
...

Life goes around in cycle, it's direction it's clockwise, going tic tac as a second to get to a minute.59 minutes left not far from an hour.

So fast a day is as old as 23 hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds, don't look away because the calendar will change to the next day.
...

It was painful to me and all pleasure to you, situations placed us in different parts of living structure.

I was hurting to the core, happiness and money was all you cared for. Surrounded yourself with glamour and temporary fantasy, I was there inside reality surviving day by day.
...

Child hold on, hold on tight.
Tight like you do in a womb with umbilical cord, attached with mother to reach your future of being born.

On earth you will be detached and on you own in a literal form, situations will be given to you, the goal is to learn. Hold on not long your presence will be yours alone.
...

From the distance of fear to closer I got, not that long I was happy but now I'm sad. I blame none but emotions.

Your are the one I thought I had control of, I lost you. how could you embarrass me like that.
...

I, hope am not just a cover
as I sometimes make you feel less of a lover
The motion of a lust
It's not the thing of must
...

Your the star, you make me appreciate beauty of the night. You shine lonely among the rest, you remain bright. You're the one that I look upon.

With or without moonlight you're my lullaby, I fall asleep to the picture you give me. In the frame of darkness only you brings light.
