The moon is both full-hung and unfading.
While enthusiasms of the heart
Stoked are, flame-ready for romance
That image from them wont depart.
Let us therefore from balcony, or below
Where fountain dignifies tears
Be heard, in vows spilt out honouring
Whose gold doth bind what each hears.
"unfading music"
I hear music
softly she plays
within my soul
unfading she plays
within my heart
it matters not to me
when outwardly tunes cease
for it matters to me
music continues inwardly
amazing as it seems
birds know this
singing angelic tunes
in rhythm with rhyme
showing how to feel
with good graces
suns rise
moons beam
music unfadingly plays

Where peace should reign like water fills the sea
Where unity ushers multitudes to a place of prosperity
Where life is valued for the sake of humanity
Where the Spirit of Ubuntu is taught across generations
Where people with disabilities are offered opportunities
Where widows are treated with so much respect
Where orphans can be showered with abundant love
Where girls walk freely on the streets, without a fright
Where boys cannot be bullied by those older than them
Where elders share wisdom in their communities
Where young or old, rich or poor, black or white belong without being made to feel wrong
Where discrimination of any form is eliminated
Where nature is taken care of by its custodians
Where power is never used as a tool to oppress others
Where powerful individuals can empower more people
Where justice shall not be used to justify the unjust
Where corruption is not an option for those in high positions
Where visionaries emerge and embrace innovation
I wish nothing but the best
For this land where I stand
And that is my unfading dream for Africa
UNFADING CHARISMA
I trace on your tender lips
A sweet lyrics
I find in your love sips
A melody to cherish
Your sweetness like scented blossom flourish
Your amazing appeal needs no empirics
With pamper and smile to our love's bud you nourish
All vices and vitriol your gentleness snips!

Unfading Smile
Smile is only the flower
That never fades
But all the other flowers
Would fade at some time
Or other
Smile is only the flower
That bloom and bloom
Afresh and anew
To keep the smile unfading
We need to fill our feelings
With essence of love
And not only this
But we also must smile
Not just with our face
But with our divine heart
The smile never fades
Even in the situation of death
If we know how to smile

There are clouds in the sky spell
Streaks quiet and fairly impressive
The sun rises in the morning to come
Later came the dark screaming like babies
Never to bald the forest-hood
Think of the flying wings that lead
The small forest in a silent call
The green tree foliage is in destiny
My beautiful garden is pretty cheerful
bright and daring beautiful
the flowers propose with unfading color
I am visiting my garden this morning
my lips trembled cold and chilling
In the twilight grayness
unfading purple dreams
of two lover’s meeting
are magically transformed
to clearly ascertain
the stunning rainbow-like
emotional symbols
of sweet serenity.
