Victor Phinda Mokoena Poems

I will always love you,
Remember that.
You can push me away,
but I'll always come back.
...

I'd like to think myself as normal,
Just an ordinary boy.
But I'm not into butterflies,
I don't do ballet twirls.
...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you.
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
...

I don't pretend to know what love is
for everyone,
I just show it,
And I can tell what it is for me;
...

I can't explain,
why I feel this way about you,
Every time you would come my way
I always tremble when you nearby,
...

Behold the art of fair,
Thou hast doves
Eyes within her locks:
Her hair is as a flock of goats,
...

I am the heart of love,
And the lily of the valleys.

As the lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
...

How beautiful are thy feet with shoes,
O prince's daughter!
The joints of thy thighs are like jewels,
The work of the hands of a cunning workman.
...

I am come into my garden,
My sister, my spouse:
I have gathered my myrrh with my spice;
I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey;
...
