Loner

Walk walk walk
dry earth patches
some frown
some smile

Green leaves are no more
but sweet memories
the path long walked
the only fresh sight

Talk talk talk
silence is the loudest
birds, rivers and fires
rushing in silence

Only a mind left
to stare at the self
there is no sunshine
there is no teary rain

Walk walk walk
backward, forward.
its a silent song
sung or not

Phiphidi, dare you cry for me

Phiphidi, dare you cry for me
It was always a love full of hate
bitter sweet childhood memories
and sad days when we parted.

Yours was an ugly love
though you loved endlessly
much love you took from us
only to leave us stuck in solitude.

The sun is yet to stand still
it rises on the hills of Tshandau
How I loath your fiery red-lit sunsets
Hopefully you don't remember me

Phiphidi, you are a lie
and if you see my people
toiling to tell their weary tales
Say to them, 'I killed him'.
