Amagquma othando

lapho izinyawo zaphezulu zehlela kwalasha,
nefomu lakho uqobo,
ingelosi, idemoni, iphupho lothando oluphuphile,

kuze kube semafwini amagagasi alo ancibilikayo.
Ngisazizwa ngomsindo wokulangazelela lokho,
Mina, othandwa kakhulu,

Ngicabanga ngamagagasi awo futhi ngithanda ukukhukhula,

ekujuleni kothando olufanayo olungakaze lubonwe yindoda.

Ubusuku bokuba lusizi abunamkhawulo.
Umthunzi wakhe ekuhlubukeni njengogwebu,

Ngabe abathandi bashaya izinkanyezi
mhlawumbe i-adventure icima ukudabuka.
Kepha wena, ubusuku, uqhutshwa izifiso

lapho bevala umoya phakathi kwezindebe zabo.
Ubusuku, ubusuku obukhazimulayo,

Ngingathanda ukuba ngedwa eningizimu
Mhlawumbe amehlo ami ahamba kancane ngeke esabona eningizimu
yamathafa akhanyayo alele emoyeni,
ngemizimba emthunzini wamagatsha njengezimbali
noma abaleke ngokugabavula kwamahhashi athukuthele.
INingizimu iyihlane elikhala ngenkathi kuculwa,
futhi lelozwi alicinywanga njengenyoni efile;
ulwandle uqondisa izifiso zakhe ezibabayo
kuvula i-echo ebuthakathaka ehlala kancane.
Eningizimu ekude kangaka ngifuna ukudideka.
Imvula ayikho enye into ngaphandle kwe rose evulekile;
inkungu yayo iyahleka, uhleko olumhlophe emoyeni.
Ubumnyama bawo, ukukhanya kwawo kungubuhle obulinganayo.

Lapho kuhlala khona ukukhohlwa
Lapho kuhlala khona ukungakhohlwa,
Ezingadini ezinkulu ngaphandle kokuntwela kokusa;
Lapho ngikhona nje
Inkumbulo yetshe eligqitshwe phakathi kwezimbabazane
Lapho umoya uphunyuka khona ukuqwasha.
Lapho igama lami lihamba khona
Emzimbeni oqokiwe ezingalweni zamakhulu eminyaka,
Lapho isifiso singekho.
Kuleso sifunda esikhulu lapho uthando, ingelosi esabekayo,
Ungafihli njengensimbi
Iphiko lakhe esifubeni sami,
Ukumomotheka okugcwele umusa wasemoyeni njengoba ukuhlushwa kukhula.
Lapho kuhlala khona lokhu kulangazelela okufunwa ngumnikazi ngomfanekiso wakhe,
Ukuhambisa impilo yakhe kwenye impilo,
Awukho omunye umkhathizwe ngaphandle kokubheka amehlo.
Lapho usizi nenjabulo kungadluli nje amagama,
Izulu lomdabu nomhlaba okuzungeze inkumbulo;
Lapho ngikhululekile ekugcineni ngingazi mina,
Incibilikiswe yinkungu, ukungabikho,
Ukungabikho kancane njengenyama yengane.
Lapho, lapho kude;
Lapho kuhlala khona ukukhohlwa.
