I-Roses
Engadini yami kukhona ama-roses:
Angifuni ukukunika ama roses
ukuthi kusasa...
kusasa ngeke ube nakho
Engadini yami kunezinyoni
enemiphetho yengilazi:
Ngeke ngikunike zona,
abanamaphiko okundiza...
Ezinyosi zasengadini yami
baqopha amakhekheba ezinyosi amahle.
Ubumnandi beminithi...
Angifuni ukukunika!
Kuwe okungapheli noma lutho;
lokungafi loba lolusizi oluyisimungulu
ukuthi ngeke uqonde...
Usizi olungenagama lokunganikezeli
kulabo abathwala into yaphakade emabunzini abo...
Suka, shiya ingadi...
Ungathinti isihlahla sama-rose:
izinto ezifayo
Akufanele bathinteke.
Imbiza eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka
Ekushoneni kwelanga ngizohamba
nojeke wami oluhlaza ngiya emfuleni,
ukuqoqa okokugcina
isithunzi sendawo yami.
Ekushoneni kwelanga amanzi
izokubonisa ngokungacacile kakhulu;
ngokucaca kwesibhakabhaka
kanye nokucaca kwechibi...
Okokugcina amanzi
Izokhombisa indawo yami.
Ngizombamba ngesineke
njengomuntu ocosha ucezu lweleyisi...
Bayoba ekushoneni kwelanga
lezi zinto zikude...
Okuqhubekayo futhi okumnandi,
imnandi futhi imnandi.
Bese... Mabufike ubusuku!
Ukuthi tenuousness iphupho kakade
-iphupho elikhohliwe-
entekenteke, empunga, ethokomele
yendwangu endala... kanye nenhle,
i-transparent tulle...
Bayoba ukundindizela okukodwa
ngaphakathi kwejeke eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka!
Ngifisa
Kwangathi impilo ingedluleli ngale kwezingalo zakho.
Ukuthi ngingalingana nevesi lami ezingalweni zakho,
Kwangathi izingalo zakho zingihaqe ngiphelele futhi ziyaqhaqhazela
ngaphandle kwelanga lami nesithunzi sami singami ngaphandle.
Kwangathi izingalo zakho zingaba umkhathizwe nendlela yami,
indlela emfushane, kanye nomkhathizwe wenyama kuphela;
Kwangathi impilo ingeqhubeki phambili... Kwangathi ukufa
kubukeka sengathi lokhu kufa okushisayo ezandleni zakho!…
Indalo
Futhi kuqala amanzi.
amanzi ashisayo,
ngaphandle kwezinhlanzi eziphefumulayo, ngaphandle kogu
ukuthi bayayicindezela...
Kwakungamanzi kuqala,
mayelana nezwe elizelwe ngesandla sikaNkulunkulu...
Kwakungamanzi...
Namanje
Umhlaba awuzange ubonakale phakathi kwamagagasi.
namanje umhlaba
Kwakuwudaka oluthambile, oluqhaqhazelayo...
Zazingekho izimbali zenyanga noma amaqoqo
eziqhingini… Esiswini
Amazwekazi adalwe ngamanzi amancane...
Ukusa komhlaba, ukuvuka
zomhlaba!
Yini ukucisha imililo yokugcina!
Yeka ulwandle oluvutha umlilo ngaphansi kwesibhakabhaka esimnyama!
Kwakungamanzi kuqala.
Uthando luyi…
Uthando oluthambile oluthambile
of the swan blue kanye pink rose;
thanda ukukhanya kokusa
kanye nelezinkanyezi ezivulekayo
kanye nalowo omamathekayo okunwebekayo...
Ukuthanda ukugcwala kwesihlahla,
thanda umculo wamanzi
kanye nobumnandi besithelo
kanye nobumnandi bemiphefumulo emnandi….
Ukuthanda okunomusa akulona uthando:
Uthando lubeka umcamelo
ngenxa yokukhathala kwansuku zonke;
lishona ilanga ephila
ekufisweni kwenzalo eyimpumputhe
elalahlekelwa isiqondiso sokukhanya,
eboshiwe ezweni lakhe,
ahlulwe izwe lakhe...
Uthando luxazulula izinkinga
wezindlela zobumnyama:
Uthando luyindlela nokuba isikali!
Uthando yilolu thando olusilimazayo,
okuphuma igazi ekujuleni kwethu...
Ingena ekujuleni kobusuku
bese uqagela inkanyezi esafufusa...
Ithemba lenkanyezi!…
Uthando luvela empandeni emnyama.
Uthando luyathethelela;
futhi yini engaphezu kokuthethelela,
ukuqonda...
Uthando lubambelele esiphambanweni,
futhi azibethele esiphambanweni,
futhi ufe futhi uvuke futhi...
Uthando luwuvuko!

Engadini yami kukhona ama roses
Angifuni ukukunika
ama roses kusasa...
kusasa ngeke ube nakho
Engadini yami kunezinyoni
enemiphetho yengilazi:
Ngeke ngikunike zona, zinani?
amaphiko okundiza...
Ezinyosi zasengadini yami
baqopha amakhekheba ezinyosi amahle
Ubumnandi beminithi...
Angifuni ukukunika!
Okwakho okungapheli
noma lutho; ongafiyo
noma lolusizi oluthule
ukuthi ngeke uqonde...
Usizi olungenagama
lokungadingi ukunikela
kumbe ogqoka ebunzini lakhe
ingunaphakade elithile...
Suka, shiya ingadi...
ungathinti isihlahla sama-rose:
Izinto ezifayo
Akufanele bathinteke.
Ukuhlukaniswa
Ubumnandi bokuzizwa buba kude.
Okude futhi okungacacile...
Ngaphandle kokwazi noma yingoba izinto ziyahamba
kumbe yilowo ohambayo.
Ubumnandi bokukhohlwa njengamazolo alula awela ebumnyameni...
Ubumnandi bokuzizwa uhlanzekile kukho konke.
Ubumnandi bokukhuphuka nokuba njengenkanyezi engafinyeleleki nephezulu,
ukukhanya kuthule...
Thula,
Nkulunkulu wami!…
