Hayani

U fuwa shango ndi mini?

Zwavhifha lia shanduka 

ha sala u ngolidza mato 

utshi thama wa pfumelwa

nne athi ni divhi 

ni muthu de?

ni toda mini?

ndi ni fhe ri fhambane

lwanga lwendo ndi maseto

a lu tshimbilelwi munwe

nne ndo tshimbila 

u mbona ndi tshi vho homelwa 

asi one mathomo anga 

nnditsheni ndi tuwe 

zwanga ndi dzhene ha Tshivhasa

na wanga mudi u nake 

zwanga ndi sedze Phiphidi

ngauri afha asi haya ha muthu 

zwe nda da ndo fara ndi miloro

yo wedzaho yo lala 

yo fholodzaho ndi mavharivhari

nne ndi la mivhundu 

ngauri haya hau ndi haya hau 

nangwe la kovhela tenda wa swika 

ndala na vhuvhi hayo 

asi mukano une wa kunda ndivho

ya nngwana ndi hayani ndi khwine

ndi pfi muthu

yanga mbilu i rule.

Hayani asi luanakha 

naho thavha dzo adza

udzi gonya asi muhwalo

tenda nda swika.

 

Unforgiven

Scars are vultures
They linger around for my death
To tear me apart in  decay
The streets never embraced
The pain and the sorrow
Of a life spend in the mute pursuit
Of something richer
Time changes
New dawns arrive unabated
The moon and the sun
Locked in a constant race
It rains in summers
But the scars never washes off
A constant reminder of hurt
Eating my soul away each day
