Phumla Xuza Khanyile Poem
Was I not an apple of your eye
Securely placed in the pedestal of your love
Washed with the showers of your affections
Housed in the confines of your heart
For a while I was your beginning and ending
The truth known to your lips
Implanted in your veins
Beating along with your pulse
I was a joy to behold
A treasure worth to be told
Yet time stole my shine
I am no longer your smile
Once upon a glorious time
In not so far place and time
Were we not birds of the same feather
Flying with each other's wind
I was in the pedestal of your love
Securely placed in the sacredness of your heart
Now I am a sore to your eyes
A sharp sting to your heart
Was I not a song on your lips
A joyful sweet feeling to sip
You use to clutch me to your heart
Hold me as if never to let go
What happened to the love
Who stole all our shine
I cannot longer feel the warmth of your love
So lonely is my flight

Phumla Xuza Khanyile Poem
So sweet was your love
So sweet I did not feel its thorns
You speared me too deep
Yet at your soft petals my head I laid
So sweet was your love
So sweet it blinded me from your flaws
Like a lost sheep I walked in dazed
Barefooted on a lane of hot coals
Was it love that blinded me so?
That numbed me to all sorts of pain
All I could feel was your love so deep
I kept coming for more despite the pain
I could never let go of your hand
My eyes remained glued to your face
Mesmerized by your everlasting grace
While you tore me layer by layer
These thorns of your love
Pricked me in many places
Yet yours was the sweetest of pains
I still yearn for you regardless

Phumla Xuza Khanyile Poem
If tomorrow never comes
The sun fails to rise
In your state of darkness
I'll hold up your lantern high
In my arena you'll shine
If tomorrow never comes
Shadows of the night swallow you whole
Silence of the tomb calls out your name
Depriving you an extra mile
You'll still live on in my mind
Even if tomorrow opt not to come
I will forever hold you high
Within my chest of all treasures
Laced on my tongue like a true gospel
A beautiful song escaping my lips
I will not let time wipe you off
Nor your thoughts be layered with dust
I'll keep your face polished
Preserving your smile from being tarnished
You will never be forgotten
If tomorrow never comes
Know this day you've been truly loved
Beyond time in between
Post the worlds that sets us apart
You'll always be with me
