xihluke mlangeni Poems

I always drown when i sail my boat
Surrounded by voices
That always silence me
I belong in the island
...

Because They are Gone
smile Because they were  Born
 And now they are Gone
we are here to Live
...

[dedicated to my father Reckson Mlangeni]
...

She was  dark  when  i first  moved  in
Built  only  to occupy me, myself  and  i
Every night when i lay my head
On that  bed like structure
...

Take Me back to  that time
when i was first introduced to fun
I was young
only seventeen
...

I sat there hopeless
With that little patience
And Listen  to my inner voice
I thought to myself
...

Life  in this  lonely  world
can be such a mess
Waking  up every  morning
Feeling  lonely  and  lost
...
