Sonnet
Ukusela intwasahlobo eswiti
emva kwemini ngasemlanjeni ndamangaliswa
kwaye bendinokucamngca ngentando yam
i-idyll yamanzi kunye nomthi wesundu.
Ndijube ndize kwitanki yeentlanzi
ndifuna intliziyo efana neyam,
kwaye andizange ndifumane indlu yesibane okanye inqanawa
ukundinika imiqondiso yeflegi.
Ubusuku babuxhumaxhuma elunxwemeni
ndabeka entloko yam ebhidekile
Umphetho wencakuba eluhlaza-luhlaza.
Kodwa xa ithamsanqa lam latshona,
Umoya wawufuna ukundithumela
umsindisi omhlophe wenyanga.
Ufile luthando
Ingalo yam ayiyazi, nomlenze wam awuyazi.
Nomsonto welizwi lam, nasinqe sam;
Inyanga engaphakathi ayazi nokwazi
kwigadi yam yothando nobushushu.
Kwaye ndifile, ewe, njengethenda
nebhadi, nokuba yibhadi ethafeni;
njengamanzi angqukuva equleni
okanye inja enamazinyo atyheli.
Kwaye namhlanje yiCorpus Christi, Nkosi, ndihambile
umzimba wam, wothando olukhanyayo,
njengoloyiko olubi.
Abantu, bengamangaliswanga, baye bandijonga
kwaye akukho bani ukhululayo umnqwazi wakhe
ukuthandaza kalusizi uBawo wethu kum.
Umlindi wothando
Ndikubeke emva kodonga phambi kwam
ukugcina ugcinwe ngcono,
kwaye ndikujongile, owu, uthando lwemihla ngemihla
kunye ne-bayonet kunye ne-helmet yejoni.
Ndandikuthanda kakhulu, kakhulu, kangangokuba abantu
Wandikhomba okomntu ophethwe sisibetho;
kodwa indlela endandivuya ngayo kwibhulorho
zothando lwakho, mlambo wam ophuphumayo.
Ngenye imini, wandixelela ukuba: – andikuthandi…-;
kunye nodonga lwam lweglasi kunye nentsimbi
Ngelizwi lakho wawa emhlabeni ekwingqushu.
Amathe emlonyeni wam ajika abe likhephu;
kwaye ndafa njengehiyacinth emfutshane
ndoyame kwirozi egxalabeni lakho.

Kutheni unezangqa ezimnyama phantsi kwamehlo akho ngale njikalanga?
Ubuphi, sithandwa, kwakusasa,
ndakukhangela ubugwala bakho
ekhephini ngaphandle kwelanga emqamelweni?
Unomgca wemilebe ebandayo,
ukubanda kokuncamisa okungahlawulwanga kakuhle;
ncamisa endingaziyo ukuba uzakunikwa ngubani,
kodwa ndiqinisekile ukuba bakunike.
Yiyiphi ivelvet emnyama eyenza ukuba uthande
Ukukrola kwamehlo akho kwingqolowa elungileyo?
Yiyiphi i-blue vein okanye imephu ekugxekayo
Esabhokhweni sobusi esohlwaywa kwam?
Khona kutheni undivisa ubuhlungu nje?
Ukuba uyazi, oh uthando! ukuba ndingumhlobo wakho?
Ndifuna wena, ubukho bakho
Ndifuna wena, ubukho bakho,
yokuphambana kwakho uyolo eluthandweni.
Andikwazi kunyamezela ukongamela ikhaya lam
ubumnyama obungenamlomo bokungabikho kwakho.
Ndifuna wena, inceba yakho,
ngokuvutha kokukhanya kobuso bakho;
ukuba kubomvu kwaye kumnandi kakhulu
ukuba ubeka kum, uthando, inguquko.
Ndidinga iintambo zakho zengqondo
kwaye nangona ngamanye amaxesha ikratshi lakho lindithuthumbisa
Andiyeki kwisikhundla sam njengesithandwa.
Ndifuna ubusi benceba yakho,
Intsimbi yelizwi lakho, ifiva yakho.
Ndiyakudinga, ndiyakufuna.
Intlanganiso
Ndabalekela kuwe entwasahlobo,
emva kwemini enelanga, incinci kwaye ilungile,
kwaye wawungumsila emhlane wam,
kwaye esinqeni sam, iribhoni kunye nenyoka.
Undinike ukuthamba kwewax yakho,
ndaninika ityuwa eyam ityuwa.
Kwaye sihamba kunye, ngaphandle kweflegi,
kulwandle lwerose nameva.
Kwaye ke, ukufa, kube yimilambo emibini
ngaphandle kwe-oleander, emnyama kwaye engenanto,
ngenxa yomlomo omdaka wabantu….
Kwaye ngasemva, iinyanga ezimbini, amakrele amabini,
izinqe ezimbini, imilomo emibini eqhagamshelweyo
kunye nee-arches ezimbini zothando zebhulorho enye.

Esithi "I love you" ngelizwi eligqunyiweyo
kwaye uphuze enye imilebe kamnandi,
Asikokubakho, kukufumana umthombo
oko kusinika umlomo wothando.
Ukuncamisa ngolo hlobo akuthethi nto,
Luthuthu lothando, hayi i-lava ebilayo,
ukuba eluthandweni kufuneka uhlale ukhona,
kusasa, emva kwemini, ebusuku nasekuseni.
Yintoni eyona nto imnandi kunethole leesile kunemvana?
iliva elingaphezulu kunentyatyambo, ilanga, hayi inkwenkwezi,
inja entliziyweni, ikhandlela eliphilayo...
Akunjalo wethu, kutheni sizibhanxa?
Into yethu kukuhamba ngaphandle kokudibana,
ulahlekile, unothando, ulahlekile.
