José Ángel Valente - Izinkondlo
Lapho ngikubona unje, umzimba wami, uwile ...
Lapho ngikubona unje, umzimba wami, uwile kakhulu
Kuwo wonke amakhona amnyama kakhulu
komphefumulo, kuwe ngiyazibuka,
njengasesibukweni sezithombe ezingapheli,
ngaphandle kokuqagela ukuthi imuphi kubo
sibaningi mina nawe kunabanye.
Kufa.
Mhlawumbe ukufa akukho ngaphezu kwalokhu
buyela kahle, umzimba,
iphrofayili yobuso bakho ezibukweni
Ngasohlangothini olumsulwa lwethunzi.
Uthando lukhona kulokho esikujwayele ...
Uthando lukhona kulokho esikujwayele
(amabhuloho, amagama).
Uthando lukuzo zonke izinto esiziphakamisayo
(ehleka, amafulegi).
Futhi kulokho esikulwa nakho
(ebusuku, akunalutho)
ngothando lweqiniso.
Uthando ngokushesha lapho sivuka
(imibhoshongo, izethembiso).
Ngokushesha nje lapho siqoqa futhi sihlwanyela
(izingane, ikusasa).
Futhi emanxiweni esiwa ngawo
(ukuphucwa impahla, ukuqamba amanga)
ngothando lweqiniso.
Ingelosi
Ekuseni,
lapho ubukhuni bosuku busamangaza
Ngiphinde ngihlangane nawe kulayini oqondile
lapho ubusuku buhlehla khona.
Ngiyakubona ukungafihli kwakho okucacile
ubuso bakho abubonakali,
iphiko noma umphetho engilwe nawo.
Ungabuya noma uphinde uvele
kumkhawulo owedlulele, mnumzane
kokungacaci.
Ungahlukanisi
isithunzi sokukhanya asenzile.
Materia
Guqula igama libe yindaba
lapho lokho esifuna ukukusho kungeke kwenzeke
ukungena ngokuqhubekayo
ukuthi yini engangisitshela yona
uma kuye, njengesisu,
sebenzisa kahle,
nqunu, isisu esimhlophe,
indlebe ethambile ukuzwa
ulwandle, okungacaci
amahemuhemu olwandle, ukuthi ngaphesheya kwakho,
uthando olungenagama, luzala wena njalo.
Isifiso bekuyiphuzu namanje ...
Imizimba yahlala ohlangothini lwesizungu lothando
ngathi baphika omunye nomunye bengasiphikanga isifiso
futhi kulokho kuphika ifindo elinamandla kunabo
babahlanganise unomphela.
Ngabe amehlo nezandla zazi ini,
isikhumba sinambitha kanjani, umzimba ugcineni
womoya womunye, owazala
ukukhanya okunganyakazi okuhamba kancane
njengokuphela kwendlela yesifiso?
Isono
Isono sazalwa
njengeqhwa elimnyama
nezimpaphe eziyimfihlakalo ezacima
ukugaya kabuhlungu
yesikhathi nendawo.
Kucindezelwe kucindezelwe
ngokuhefuzela okudabukisayo
odongeni lokuzisola,
phakathi kwe-caresses emnyama
kobungqingili noma ukuxolelwa.
Isono kwakuyiso sodwa
into yokuphila.
Umlondolozi omubi wezandla eziphazamisayo
nentsha emanzi ilenga
ekamelweni eliphezulu lememori efile.
Ezikhathini eziningi ...
Ezikhathini eziningi
ikhanda lakho licacile.
Kumalambu amaningi
okhalweni lwakho olufudumele.
Ezikhathini eziningi
impendulo yakho engazelelwe.
Umzimba wakho ucwiliswa isikhathi eside
kuze kube yilobu busuku obomile,
kuze kufike kulesi sithunzi.
Lesi sithombe sakho
Wawunami
futhi isondele kimi kunezingqondo zami.
Ukhulume ngokusuka othandweni
ihlome ngokukhanya kwayo.
Ungalokothi amagama
zothando olumsulwa zizophefumula.
Ingabe ikhanda lakho belithambile
ancike kimi.
Izinwele zakho ezinde
kanye nesinqe sakho esijabulisayo.
Ukhulume usemaphakathi kothando
ihlome ngokukhanya kwayo,
ngentambama empunga yanoma yiluphi usuku.
Inkumbulo yezwi lakho nomzimba wakho
ubusha bami namazwi ami abe
futhi lo mfanekiso wakho uyasinda kimi.
Lapho uthando
Lapho uthando luyisenzo sothando futhi luhlala
ungabi nalutho uphawu olulodwa.
Lapho ugodo lusekhaya,
kodwa hhayi ilangabi eliphilayo.
Lapho kungumkhuba ukwedlula owesilisa.
Siqale nini
ukuphinda amagama angenakukwazi
lungisa abalahlekile.
Lapho mina nawe sibhekene ubuso nobuso
futhi umkhathi ogwadule uyasihlukanisa.
Lapho ubusuku buhlwa
Lapho sizinikela
ngithemba kakhulu
lolo thando kuphela
vula izindebe zakho ekukhanyeni kosuku.
