Best Fertilise Poems

Heart is a neglected garden,
diseased by an epidemic of weeds.
Breathless, pining for your breaths -
breathe passion into me

so bees, birds and butterflies return.

Cultivate soul with tender hands,
propagate seeds sensually.
Fertilise fragility with soft kisses, 
form a vision of Eden

so bees, birds and butterflies return.

Upon dawn's delight...

When I was a child
Everything was magical
Full of mystery and the unknown
I read hundreds of books
The library my haven
My home
Hours upon hours
Night and day
I read and got lost in text
They supplied me with adventures
Secret journeys
Fun and fairy tales
I absorbed the words like a sponge
The books...

You, in going a little way from yourself
Have gone a long way from my gullible ilk.
« I’m trying hard not to like you, » you said
The breaths of several men surging in your nostrils
And the stench abraded in your flesh :
« You are...

THE CLICHE SUBJECT MATTER
I tried to study you best way I could without weighing my infatuation
And before I knew it I was knee deep in a classless obsession
I added you to my thinking pattern, all your small numbers multiplying themselves
In my head I became a...

Tomorrow where are you ?

I am a child of mzansi, 
A child of a nation raised by a struggle of apartheid, as I emerge as a wound 
Meant to glister, advertising the anguish of my fore fathers 
Raised to cease all the nation’s bounty in...

I have tripped and fallen into the lonely abyss on occasions,
walked with rain as strangers passed me by, just like the song.
For loneliness is not the domain of the young or poets solemn, 
but a pitfall on the path as we savour life’s amazing adventure.
What...

I remember when my Aunt
wanted a divorce,
said, "at last my time is mine
I shall live on the Golf Course".

My Uncle never played
he gave the game a snub,
thought it pretty pointless
to hit a ball with club.

He only wanted offspring,
to fertilise her eggs,
but she was bloody adament
he...

Blueberries, bananas, apples that fall
Berries and pears, we love them all
Fresh rainwater, summer heat
The part of plants that we can eat

Inside the fruit, contains the seeds
Found on bushes, grown on trees
Tomato plants, of heights will rise
With soil and compost, fertilise

Seeds we scatter, seeds we sow
All...

How busy, busy is the life
Fat-arsed but Oh so humble Bumble Bee
He has no worries. What a simple life
Unhappy. How can he be?

He trundles round my garden where my roses grow
He is so gentle and slow
He always checks each blossom missing none
He drinks the nectar....

His new wife proclaimed, ‘Oh my God’
I think I’ve just wed a tripod
I now understand
Your steps in the sand
You left a third trail where you trod

Those newlyweds lay hand in hand
Their union sealed on the sand
The sand made her sore
But she wanted more
And, oh boy,...

As I sit and watch, I notice
that colour is creeping back.
Buds are ready to burst into life
promising a good crop of fruits.

Birds flitter around collecting
twigs and other nesting materials.
Soon they will lay their eggs and
then sit on them until they hatch.

By then the garden will...

The mundane affairs from morn to night
                             Lack spirit and are taken for granted

This was the way it was
In my childhood days
With ancient and tried
Crop farming ways.
Up to the ankles in slurry,
Muck fork in hand,
Ready to spread manure
To fertilise the land.
No tractor and spreader
Just an old ‘oss and cart
Out in the early morning
For a good start.

Fold yard’s been...

Childhood.
I read, in a newspaper, with following black white &  photo  
of children used as slave labourers many years ago, I was
one of them, but I didn’t share the misery described. 
I was sat with my little suitcase on a bus that trundled...

The emergence thereof, a cycle begins
Of different forms – developing
Exceeding growth of varied rate
Conditions there to germinate

To reproduce they fertilise
New plants to materialise
Protection of the embryo
Seeds produced, equipped to grow

Soil with moisture and daylight
A season with conditions right
Outer case of seed to split
Cells divide at...
