IRoses
Kwigadi yam kukho iirozi:
Andifuni kukunika iirozi
ukuba ngomso...
ngomso awuyi kuba nayo
Egadini yam kukho iintaka
ngeencam zeglasi:
Andiyi kukunika zona,
abanamaphiko okubhabha...
Egadini yam iinyosi
baqingqa inqatha lobusi;
Ubumnandi bomzuzu...
Andifuni ukukunika!
Kuwe ongenasiphelo okanye akukho nto;
ukungafi okanye olu lusizi lungathethiyo
ukuba awuyiqondi ...
Usizi olungenagama lokunganiki
kwabo bathwele into engunaphakade emabunzini abo...
Hamba, shiya igadi...
Musa ukubamba i-rose bush:
izinto ezifayo
Akufunekanga bachukunyiswe.
Ingqayi eluhlaza
Ukutshona kwelanga ndiya kuhamba
nejagi yam eluhlaza ukuya emlanjeni,
ukuqokelela okokugqibela
isithunzi somhlaba wam.
Ukutshona kwelanga amanzi
iya kuyibonakalisa ngokucacileyo;
ngokucaca kwesibhakabhaka
kunye nokucaca kwechibi ...
Okokugqibela amanzi
Iya kubonakalisa inkangeleko yam yomhlaba.
Ndiza kumbamba kakuhle
okomntu ochola iqhekeza lelayisi...
Baya kutshona ilanga
ezi zinto zikude lee...
Ngaphezulu kwaye kumnandi,
imnandi kwaye imnandi.
Emva koko ... Mabufike ubusuku!
Ukuba tenuousness iphupha sele
-iphupha elilityelweyo-
eethe-ethe, engwevu, ethomalalisayo
yelaphu elidala ... kunye nenhle,
i tulle ecacileyo...
Baya kuba yinyikima enye
ngaphakathi kwejagi eluhlaza!
Nqwenela
Kwanga ubomi abudluli ngaphaya kweengalo zakho.
Ukuze ndikwazi ukulingana nevesi yam ezingalweni zakho,
Ngamana iingalo zakho zindirhangqe ndingcangcazele
ngaphandle kokuba ilanga lam nesithunzi sam simi ngaphandle.
Ngamana iingalo zakho zingaba ngumbono wam kunye nendlela yam,
umendo omfutshane, kunye nomda wenyama kuphela;
Akwaba ubomi abuqhubeki phambili... Kwanga ukufa
kujongeka njengokufa kushushu ezingalweni zakho!…
Indalo
Kwaye kuqala amanzi;
amanzi ashushu,
ngaphandle kokuphefumla iintlanzi, ngaphandle kwamanxweme
ukuba bayicinezele...
Yayingamanzi kuqala,
malunga nehlabathi elizelwe ngesandla sikaThixo...
Ibingamanzi...
Kukwanje
Umhlaba awuzange ubonakale phakathi kwamaza.
uthule umhlaba
Yayiludaka nje oluthambileyo, olungcangcazelayo...
Kwakungekho ntyatyambo yenyanga okanye maqela
kwiziqithi… Esiswini
Amazwekazi adalwe kumanzi amancinci...
Ukukhanya kwehlabathi, ukuvuka
lwehlabathi!
Yintoni yokucima imililo yokugqibela!
Olunjani lona ulwandle oluvutha umlilo phantsi kwesibhakabhaka esimnyama!
Yayingamanzi kuqala.
Uthando yi…
Ukuthanda ubabalo oluthambileyo
yedada eluhlaza kunye nerozi epinki;
thanda ukukhanya kokusa
kunye neenkwenkwezi ezivulayo
nalowo unoncumo olude...
Ukuthanda ukuzala komthi,
thanda umculo wamanzi
nobumnandi besiqhamo
kunye nobumnandi bemiphefumlo emnandi….
Ukuthanda into enobubele asilothando.
Uthando lubeka umqamelo
ngenxa yokudinwa kwemihla ngemihla;
litshona ilanga esaphila
ekunqwenelweni kwembewu eyimfama
elahleka indlela yokukhanya,
evalelwe ngumhlaba wakhe,
woyiswa ngumhlaba wakhe...
Uthando luqhawula amaqhina
yeendlela zobumnyama;
Uthando luyindlela kunye nokuba sisikali!
Uthando luthando olu lusenza buhlungu,
yintoni esopha ngaphakathi kwethu...
Ingena enzulwini yobusuku
kwaye uqikelele inkwenkwezi esakhasayo...
Ithemba lenkwenkwezi!…
Uthando lunothando olusuka kwingcambu emnyama.
Uthando luyaxolela;
kwaye yintoni engaphaya kokuxolela;
kukuqonda...
Uthando lubambelele emnqamlezweni,
wazibethelela emnqamlezweni;
kwaye ufe kwaye uvuke kwakhona ...
Uthando luvuko!
Ngonaphakade
Egadini yam kukho iirozi
Andifuni ukukunika
iirozi ukuba ngomso...
ngomso awuyi kuba nayo
Egadini yam kukho iintaka
ngeencam zeglasi:
Andiyi kukunika zona, zinantoni?
amaphiko okubhabha...
Egadini yam iinyosi
baqingqe amanqatha obusi
Ubumnandi bomzuzu...
Andifuni ukukunika!
Kuwe ongenasiphelo
okanye akukho nto; ongafiyo
okanye olu lusizi luthe cwaka
ukuba awuyiqondi ...
Usizi olungenagama
yokunganiki
okanye onxibe ebunzi
ixesha elingunaphakade...
Hamba, shiya igadi...
musa ukuyiphatha irose bush:
Izinto ezifayo
Akufunekanga bachukunyiswe.
iqela
Ubumnandi bokuziva ukude.
Kude kwaye kungacaci...
Ngaphandle kokwazi ukuba kungenxa yokuba izinto ziyahamba
okanye ngulowo wemkayo.
Ubuswiti bokulibala oku kombethe esiwa ebumnyameni...
Ubumnandi bokuziva ucocekile kuyo yonke into.
Ubumnandi bokunyuka kunye nokufana nokungafikeleleki kunye neenkwenkwezi eziphezulu,
ukukhanya kuthe cwaka...
Cwaka,
Thixo wam!…
