Cross my heart

If you ask, 

‘Do I ever

cross your mind?’

No

You came in 

You stayed

Forever 

Light

 I know why you see darkness

I know why the endless night

You are the moon 

The light shinning in the dark 

Don’t stop 

Shine until dawn 

Until the morning sun rise 

When the night is dead and buried

Your time is coming 

True Love

If it never dies 

Through the night 

Through the dark 

When no one is there 

And only silence is the shadow 

That remains to keep you warm 

If even then, in the midst of it all

It’s still beating within your heartbeat

Don’t ask questions 

Don’t cry tears for yesterday 

It is alive 

It never dies  

Lufu

Lufu ndi Lufuno

Ndi mbingano isina tsaleli 

Munwe na munwe ndi muselwa 

Mufhululu ubvela we la mutavhela 

Ahuna tsaleli na lau liada 

Mufhululu wa lila sa ndwevha 

Avha o swika muhwe asina mona 

Lwawe lufuno ndi lwanzhe 

Alu thafhi sa kutivha kwa madi 

Ndi lufuno funo Alu taluli 

Vulture

 Don’t worry much 

The carrion is over due 

The strong and might withers 

In a time or season, It will be time to eat 

So sit on the fence 

Rock steady and watch time heal 

Permanently, the wounds and scars

That have carried you through 

Wait for it it’s coming

Train to Simon’s Town

 The platform is close knit 

She is laughing with the world 

Everyone is wilding  

In this lonely pursuit of happiness

She is waiting  for her ride

A train to Simon’s town

They crack at her jokes

Not knowing the cracks inside her 

At last the giant millipedes 

She found her peace in her pieces 

Under the train to Simon’s town 

The platform is shuttered

She got the last laugh  

She won’t be going home 

Keep Talking

Keep talking 

Keep walking 

Let your sweat tell a tale

Where you have been 

And the tomorrow within you 

Don’t stop

Keep walking

And don’t forget 

The dangers and snares

Things you saw yesterday 

For today is a day brighter 

Unlike the others 

So keep talking

It’s your tale

Jeep walking 

It’s your journey  

The artist

The Great Eternal Artist 

You have stretched your canvas 

from time immemorial

Though your paint vanish

And coolers fade 

Your work is timeless 

A great master pieces 

A weave of souls, cells and seals

Your hand is ready to renew endlessly

This song

 The song is heavy 

And sometimes to much to bear 

It irks the heart, it gnaws the mind

But the song is here for the singing 

And these are the notes 

That made it bearable 

When it falters and there is no rhythm 

The notes carry in back to melody 

The perfect song is in the heart 

But these notes gives it expressions 

Many will not remember the lyrics 

Many will not remember the song 

But the melody will keep lurking in their hearts 

When the stumble on these notes 

You can bury the song 

But it is born each day 

When the melody come through 

From these notes 

In harsh times when its worn out 

If you listen carefully

You will hear more than a song 

Its a symphony 

Its healing 

For the wounded 

Alone

 Alone you face your fate

But moments blissfully

Wipe the shadow of loneliness

And fill the day with laughters

Many other noises

Even the sound of tears

Make the aloneness feel distant

Even in the darkest of nights

But a shadow tells a tale

Of the muted lone pursuit of happiness

For you are alone until the end
