Philani Zincume Poems

I hear the beating of a heart
A heart that beats with a rhythm
A rhythm I can understand
A rhythm I can sing unto
...

I always enjoyed throwing stones in the air.
I guess it’s because of how easy it was to let it go from my hand.
Until one day when I found a small unique stone by a river.
I never knew how to throw it away.
...

A farmer sows the seed
Even if he doesn't know whether it will rain or not
He waits for the rain,
Patiently hoping that the clouds will come
...

With all the cows in my fathers kraal,
I still cannot afford you.
With all the roses in my rose garden,
I still cannot charm you.
...

In all the creation tha the creator has created
I choose you to be vulnerable to
I choose you to be broken in front of
I choose you to show the weaker side of the giant that I am
...

Am I not supposed to be singing emancipation?
Am I not supposed to be dancing in elation?
Am I not supposed to be jumping in rejuvenation?
...

The greatest sight I had ever seen
I embarked on a mission to explore.
It was a river, a river from a distance.
I looked into this river but found a desert.
...

The Best Poem Of Philani Zincume

A Rhythm Of A Heart That Loves

I hear the beating of a heart
A heart that beats with a rhythm
A rhythm I can understand
A rhythm I can sing unto
A rhythm of a heart that loves

It is this rhythm that makes me do things
Things I would otherwise not do
It is this rhythm that makes me say things
Things I would otherwise not say
It is this rhythm that makes me have thoughts
Thoughts I would otherwise not have
A rhythm of a heart that loves

It’s a rhythm of a heart that excessively loves
It’s a rhythm of a heart that disproportionately, intensively, severely and extremely loves
It’s a rhythm of a heart that loves
