UMYALEZO
Ngequbuliso, ngale mvakwemini, ngo-Agasti amawaka amabini anesithoba.
iphepha elincinci livela etafileni.
ngamagama amabini kuphela kunye nonobumba ocacileyo.
Ngaphezu kweminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo umbhali wayo usishiyile,
kwaye ngoku eli phepha limsulwa
etafileni ngendlela eyahlukileyo,
kwaye hayi kwikhaya awayehlala kulo.
Iinkumbulo eziguqukayo ndizifumana ngalo mzuzu
yomfazi obandezelekileyo owayefuna ukuthandwa.
Wasinyamekela ngelo xesha ngenxa yobubele;
zokusebeza kunye nothando, ngokwanga okuphindaphindiweyo.
Wazixolela izimbo zomzimba nezingcikivo.
Wayefuna ukuhamba aye kwiindawo ezingcwele.
Ndiqinisekile ukuba ekugqibeleni uyibonile yonke
yaye intliziyo yakhe elungileyo iyasithuthuzela.
Mhlawumbi eli phepha sisipho,

ngathi kunye nobomi bethu obuhlwempuzekileyo.

Mhlobo

Olunye ubude bobomi emva kwethu.
Awusayi kuphinda uze ngololiwe ukusityelela
ukuzama ukuthetha ngomoya oqinileyo
side sifumane into engaqondakaliyo.
Namhlanje i-destiny ifuna ukuba ube ngowokuqala
ukutyhila okufihlakeleyo.
Uya kuyazi inyaniso, wena, wedwa, kwelinye unxweme.

UMTHI WEparadisi
Umthi oyiparadesi wawusikhusela
phakathi kwegadi nendlu.
amagqabi othuthu lwayo
yayibonakala ichukumisa iceba,
isibhakabhaka, sisondele kakhulu ngoko,
kwaye uphile ixesha elide iinkwenkwezi
emehlweni ethu abantwana basezilalini,
kufutshane nendalo.
Ndikhumbula ukutshona kwelanga
phantsi komthi nevumba lawo;
apho ngenye imini bandazisa khona
ukuhanjiswa komkhombe
neelokhwe zikamama,
ebendingamazi

UTHANDO LWEMINI EFUNEKAYO
Kwiiyure zosizi izihlwele
kwixesha elidlulileyo,
ngenxa yobomi endinokubandisa
kumzabalazo ongadinwayo.
La ngamadabi
yamandulo neyangoku,
ngaphandle kokuba kwenzeke
lungisa into ehambileyo...
Yomeleza ukuhlaselwa kwentliziyo yam kunye namaphupha,
ikhuthaza ukuvuka kuvuyo,
kwinkanuko yosuku oluyimfuneko,
kwelinye ilizwe elamkela mna ngoku,
endimthandayo, endimoyikayo, ondenza ndibe neentloni;
apho ndisela i-sip by sip,
ukuba bekungekho ngaphezulu.

ISIFANEKO
Ndibambene notata ecaleni kwendlela entle
ekufuneni umhlobo, ukuba ekugqibeleni sabona.
Latshona ilanga ngoMarch kwabe kufika umfoti
ukulungele ukumisa loo ndawo.
Iidyasi zethu ezinde, uncumo;
uvuyo lokuqala lobukho
iphawulwe ngonaphakade ngombala omnyama nomhlophe.
Wayephethe isango lase-Alcalá,
ibe nembalasane emhlophe nengwevu phezu kwelitye;
singqongwe ngumoya omsulwa.
Ngaphezu kweminyaka engamashumi amathathu sele idlulile
kwaye ndihamba ngemoto kuloo ndawo;
Njengoko ndidlula, amatye amnyama ahlala kwi-arcade,
ubungangamsha balo obuqaqadekileyo alikukhathaleli ukungxama.
Ndizobona umhlobo wam, omdala noyedwa.
Yintwasahlobo engazinzanga, ngaphandle komfoti,
notata akakho.
