Umoya nomoya

Emzini oyisimangaliso lapho inhliziyo yami ishaya khona

I-Horizon
Umunwe wami wopha
Ngefayela le-
Nginibhalela
Sekuphelile ukubusa kwamakhosi amadala
Iphupho liyinyama
Kuyasinda
Lokho kulenga ophahleni
Nomlotha kagwayi wakho
Kuqukethe konke ukukhanya
Ekujikeni komgwaqo
Izihlahla zopha
Ilanga lombulali
Igazi amaphayini
Nalabo abadlula edlelweni elimanzi
Ntambama isikhova sokuqala salala
Ngangidakiwe
Izitho zami ezixegayo zilenga lapho
Nezulu lingibambile
Isibhakabhaka engigeza ngaso amehlo ami njalo ekuseni
