Tafadzwa Matamba Poems

A night so dark!
The silence is frightening;
I am just but stuck
And have stopped walking.
...

From a very deep slumber arise!
To a morning that is cold;
A condition l so much despise,
Yet still l have to be bold_
...

A hopeful look in the eyes;
I look forward to a better tomorrow,
Filled with only but joy and no tears;
And there will be none such as all this sorrow.
...

The rays will some day shine,
In her lonely life wrapped in misery.
The pain and sorrow will be gone,
It will be a forgotten story.
...

I have the urge to be mad;
Mad at any one who dares me
Each time l am down and sad.
When l am sad the world with another eye l see;
...

Was it at all to me clear
That l was gonna shed a tear?
Maybe my gut mumbled and l turned a deaf ear;
All l wanted was to hold you near
...

Grey skies, rain, fog, cold and damp air;
Darkness that seem to go on forever,
Fall is here and the days are short;
By an hour we have fallen back!
...

On a more remote hour_
Far away from my native home,
The moon and the stars for me do shine;
In the blackberry brambles, crickets chant
...

O! What a pleasure!
The beauty of mother nature:
The full moon is shining over the ocean;
How so the ocean glows in silver streamlines!
...

Semi naked trees in the wind do quiver;
Leaves rain down around trunks one by one_
Alas, the glamour was not to be forever,
All the golden armour they adorned is gone!
...
