Tshiamo Ngwenya Poems

Listen to me singing in the dark
My feet taking turns in tip toes
I cry colours
Conjuring the charm of love
...

I know that you listening to this voice of mine
That I don't have to sing so loud or walk so tall on mountains i can't reach.
I know you see more than not only from the outside but the inside too;
Because when I cry
...

I know how it feels to love alone,
when the night screams his absence
and his there cuddling another girl.
I know how the heart feels
...

She that often dies but eventually rise.
A rose distant and rare to find,
cared after and threatened to extinct,
life on a nourished soil
...

sleep little heart
don't let the night wake you apart.
sleep broken heart
don't let memory tear you apart.
...

My legs are chained
My soul is a slave
Meant to give out a part of my star
To every night.
...

I want him to feel weak
Cry as loud as he can
And still feel silent,
With the palm of my hand on his mouth held harsh
...

The sky is blue
The light i have never knew,
Maybe if the wind blew
and love became true.
...

I still seeking in the million stars
Willing and hoping that you one of them.
The night is life without you
The silent tease
...
