PHEZULU NAPHANSI
Udunyisiwe lomhlaba
Umhlaba owondla umuntu
Njengesibungu esidunjini.Lunamandla ulwandle
oluvovwe itswayi wuqhembu
esweni lenhlanzi.
Icwebile inkanyezi
egqamile emkhathini,
imbade esiswini sesibhakabhaka gebhezi.
Ngobukhosi ukhozi
lwenyuka ngamaphiko egolide
phezu kwempilo ephansi.
Umnyama umgodi wembongi,
Imvukuzane evukuza ingekho
intunja yokungena nentuba yokuphuma.
UNGASONDELI OTSHANINI
Utshani buluhlaza njengomati
ohlotshiwe ngezimbali zamazama
abomvu njengamalangabi eklobeni.
Ibentshi lasephaki, libusisiwe,
liqukethe ulova olalele
Ukuhuba kwesiyalu
Esichela amanzi ayiqcwele
Esiqumbini samakholwa angamajuba“Ungasondeli otshanini,
Izinja ezingaxhaniwe zinqatshelwe.”Nangoke “umisisi” ehambisa ipikinisi yakhe
ebhavile yase iqholwa ngamakha.
Inuka ubuso buka saziso “Ungasondeli”
ngekhala elibanda njengenhlanzi eseqhweni
ishaya indesheni ngomlenze wangemumva
isishiye simpongoloza ngokuthu
kuthela nehlazo.
UPHAWU
Unabuphi ubuhle na?
Unaluphi uju na?
Unaluphi udobo na?
Udobo olungabuyi lulambatha
Ufika nobumnyama okobusukuUngen’imizi nemizana
Ushiye uphawu ngemumva
Uphawu olungenabulili
Uphawu olungenaminyaka
Uphawu olungenasigwili
Uphawu olungenasifundiswaUqoqa kuqaqambe inhliziyo
Kulume isisu kozele
Kuxeg’amadolo kom’umlomo bantakababa
Ubon’umhlab’usigubuzela
Usigubuzela kuphele ukwazi
Abantu baphenduk’izithuli
Abantu baphenduk’izimpumputhe
Kwand’amaxhegu
Kwand’amaxhegukazi
Sesahlala sizichitshana okwezikawu
Akekho ongathi ubanjwe ngesidlovana
Ukulubela ubumnandi kuphelile
Amaphupho ashabalele
Impilo ishabalele
Ishabalalise okwentuthu yamaphepha
MKHUMBI WEZIMANGA
Usebenzile mkhumbi wezimanga
Ingathi utakule izigqila
Ezingazange zithole thuba
Ithuba lokuncela ubisi lomhlaba
Oluyifa lakho wedwa
Ongasoze walushiyela muntuMkhumbi wezimanga
Buzwakele ubuwelewele
Buzwakele ubigodlogodlo
Izitobhi zigcwele ziyanyinyitheka
Kulindwe wean Mkhumbi wezimangaSelokhu uqalile ugimbaawugcwali
Angithi ungundabuzekwayo?
Kuphuma intsha kuphume esinedolo
Kubukeka kuliphupho qiniso
Kwazwakala kuyimbude uqobo
Bobodwa abangazwisisi
Abathi ngozwa phambili
Bafike babheme bakholwe
Kuqhibuke izihlathi
Inhliziy’iphuphum’intokozo
Lapho umuntu ezibona
Ezibon’kwazi ukubamba
Usiba alubeke ephepheni
Namuhla kunamuhla
Isina muva liyabukwa
Ungene mkhumbi wahlwanyela
Ungene negugu lomhlaba
Wafika nokhiye uqobo
Wafika nefa laphakade
Namunye ongakuphuca lona
Ngithi phambili nenqola kamagayisa
Phambili nenqola emasondosondo
Phambili nqola enqamula
Izihosha nemiqansa
Ngisho kuwe lifa laphakade
