Onalethuso Petruss Ntema Poems

life is a trumpet
every being responds to
...

lead my hand
on this land
o' dear life,
until the end
...

My Goal, My Future

The art is the future,
The future is the art,
...

to my brother

since you gone
all hope were lost to a stone,
...

the skin of mine
shines
and browned to a kind,
the smile of thine
...

my heart is on the rise
and fall
my heart's melody is as nice
than all
...

o' rain rain rain
come rain on me o' rain
rain on every plant that grow o' dear rain
rain on every resource o' dear rain
...

since we all need a shoulder to lean on
i lean on any shoulder on me
i kneel on many like me
but i see a storm over me
...

Silence in Caught part I

Caught between the unusual as doors;
Close in brutal forces,
...

ECHOES OF AN AFRICAN TEAR: a Poet's Lament

I imagine an innocent child;
Waking up to the wave of xenophobic violence too near than far,
...

its not easy to sudden
the saddened heart
but its easy to sadden
the heart suddenly
...

12.

Fear is like fallen leaves,
It scatters in distant dreams,
...

wrap me in your arms
of comfort
sing to me the songs
of one thought
...

memories

memories of the past
memories of the present
...

path of roses

i took the path full of roses
endured the love of roses
...

her golden eyes
see mine
through her eye
shadows
...

i would be you,

if wishes were choices
i would choose one
to roar my voices,
...

18.

afrika

the rivers of the wilderness,
polluted and looted by modern philosophy
...

The Best Poem Of Onalethuso Petruss Ntema

Life's A Sonnet

life is a trumpet
every being responds to
a banquet
singing and joy corresponds to
a pamphlet
reading comprehends to
some bank it
some complements to

awaken is the wise
lost is the nice
fed with a jolly of rice
menu with a spice
bitter taste twice
as nice
some telling lies
and surely pay the price
but to reap a slice
you ought to sweat thrice
and ding dong like a dice
but sometimes not, and your infant cries
at times you make it, and she (joyously) smiles
for life’s a sonnet, going many miles

believe you me, life’s a sonnet
that connects the next sonnet
with the stanza of the next other sonnet
a reflection of the next text

life’s a deviant not in isolation from the rest
it is within, to attest
a guarantee to be the best
or the worst
of the wild west
‘til you laid to rest
a life on your chest
a beverage to quench your pleasure and zest
an acid to fest
on you to cleanse your pest

life’s a neutron, not a proton
a nucleus of the phantom
an octopus of ransom
a means to come from
a beast to share from
indeed, life and sonnet dot com!
