Sonnet
Ukuphuza isiphethu esimnandi
ntambama ngasemfuleni ngamangala
futhi ngangikwazi ukucabanga ngentando yami
idyll yamanzi kanye nesundu.
Ngijuba nginqunu ethangini lezinhlanzi
ngifuna inhliziyo efana neyami,
futhi angizange ngithole indlu yezibani noma umkhumbi
ukunginika izimpawu zefulegi.
Ubusuku babugxumela ogwini
ngibeke ekhanda lami eliphithene
umphetho oluhlaza-luhlaza wensingo yawo.
Kodwa lapho ingcebo yami icwila,
umoya wawufuna ukuthumela umnyakazo wami
umsindisi omhlophe wenyanga.
Ufile uthando
Ingalo yami ayiyazi, nomlenze wami,
noma intambo yezwi lami, noma ukhalo lwami,
Inyanga engaphakathi ayazi nakwazi
ensimini yami yothando nemfudumalo.
Futhi ngifile, yebo, njengethenda
irose, noma insephe ethafeni,
njengamanzi ayindilinga emgodini
noma inja enamazinyo aphuzi.
Futhi namuhla yiCorpus Christi, Nkosi, ngihambile
isidumbu sami, sothando olukhanyayo,
njengesabisa esibi.
Abantu, ngaphandle kokumangala, bangibhekile
futhi akekho okhumule isigqoko sakhe
ukuthandaza uBaba wethu odabukileyo kimi.
Umlindi wothando
Ngikubeke ngemuva kodonga phambi kwami
ukuze ugcine ugcinwe kangcono,
futhi ngikubhekile, o, uthando nsuku zonke
nge-bayonet nesigqoko sesosha.
Ngangikuthanda kakhulu, kakhulu, kangangokuthi abantu
Wangikhomba okomuntu ophethwe isifo;
kodwa indlela engangijabule ngayo ebhulohweni
ngothando lwakho, mfula wami ochichimayo.
Ngolunye usuku, wangitshela: – angikuthandi…-;
nodonga lwami lwengilazi nensimbi
Ezwini lakho wawela phansi esiqeshini semvithi.
Amathe emlonyeni wami aphenduka iqhwa,
futhi ngafa njengehyacinth emfushane
uncike ku-rose ehlombe lakho.

Kungani unemibuthano emnyama namhlanje ntambama?
Ubukuphi sthandwa ekuseni ekuseni.
lapho ngibheke ubugwala bakho
eqhweni ngaphandle kwelanga emcamelweni?
Unezindebe ezibandayo,
kubanda ngokuqabulana okungakhokhelwanga kahle;
ukuqabula engingazi ukuthi uzokunika bani,
kodwa ngiqinisekile ukuthi bakunike.
Iyiphi ivelvet emnyama eyenza ukuthi uyithande
iphrofayili yamehlo akho kakolweni omuhle?
Yimuphi umthambo oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka noma imephu ekulahlayo
esiswazini sezinyosi sokujeziswa kwami?
Futhi kungani ungizwise ubuhlungu?
Uma wazi, oh love! ukuthi ngingumngane wakho?
Ngidinga wena, ubukhona bakho
Ngidinga wena, ubukhona bakho,
lokuhlanya kwakho okujabulisayo othandweni.
Ngeke ngikwazi ukubekezelela ukweqa umuzi wami
ubumnyama obungenamlomo bokungabikho kwakho.
Ngidinga wena, umusa wakho,
ngokufutheka kokukhanya kokubuka kwakho;
lokho kuvuleka okubomvu nokumangalisayo
ongibekela lona, uthando, lokuphenduka.
Ngidinga izintambo zakho zokuhlakanipha
futhi nakuba ngezinye izikhathi ukuzidla kwenu kungihlukumeza
Angisuki esikhundleni sami njengesithandwa.
Ngidinga uju lwesisa sakho,
insimbi yezwi lakho, imfiva yakho.
Ngiyakudinga, ngiyakudinga.
Umhlangano
Ngigijime kuwe entwasahlobo,
intambama libalele, izacile futhi ilungile,
futhi wawuyi-creeper emhlane wami,
futhi okhalweni lwami, iribhoni kanye nenyoka.
Wanginika ukuthamba kwengcina yakho,
futhi ngikunike usawoti wetswayi lami.
Futhi sihamba ngomkhumbi ndawonye, ngaphandle kwefulegi,
elwandle lwerose kanye nameva.
Bese kuthi-ke, ukufa, kube yimifula emibili
ngaphandle kwama-oleander, amnyama futhi angenalutho,
emilonyeni exubileyo yabantu….
Futhi ngemuva, izinyanga ezimbili, izinkemba ezimbili,
izinkalo ezimbili, imilomo emibili exhumene
namakhothamo amabili othando ebhuloho elifanayo.
(Kusuka ku-Four Four Love Sonnets)

Ethi "ngiyakuthanda" ngezwi elimboziwe
futhi uqabule ezinye izindebe kamnandi,
Akukhona ukuba khona, ukuthola umthombo
lokho kusinika umlomo othandweni.
Ukuqabula okunjalo akusho lutho,
Umlotha wothando, hhayi udaka olushisayo,
ukuthi othandweni kumele uhlale ukhona,
ekuseni, ntambama, ebusuku nasekuseni.
Yeka isithandwa sethole ukwedlula iwundlu,
ameva amaningi kunembali, ilanga, hhayi inkanyezi,
inja enhliziyweni, ikhandlela eliphilayo...
Okwethu akunjalo, kungani sizikhohlisa?
Okwethu wukuzulazula ngaphandle kokuhlangana,
uthando, ukwesaba, ukwesaba.
