Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
Love , love , love ..
Why do we love love so much ?
Why do we love love so much ,
That we give up all that we love just to loved
Why do we love love when love does not love us back
Love love us back
Love , love and love
Love even when love makes it unhealthy to live
But still we love love
It is never love but lust
Is it?
We seek love
We find love
We let love kill us
But why won't love love us back
When we love love so much
We live for love
But love takes not any notice of us
Can it be because we love love too much ?
That love won't love us back
No matter how much we love love
Love will never love us back
Love loves love not
Love , love and love
Love please love love

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
Maybe our love would've been better
If the circumstances were better
If the time was better
If we communicated better
If the world did not matter
If our pasts did not matter
Had the walls of our love
The walls of our trust
Did not shatter
And our love ..
Our love was our only shelter
Our love ooh our love dear lover would've been greater
Greater than our fears
Our fears to love
Our fears to be loved
Our fears to trust
To give in to love
To give in to a feeling so great
A feeling so true
A feeling so real
Oh but lover
A feeling some pray to feel
Pray to feel from a person
Pray to feel in their hearts
Maybe oh maybe love
Maybe if we had given us a chance
Another chance
Like we gave us a chance
At first glance
Smiles after smiles , in a sequence
Undying love that made my heart dance
For this love I had no defence
I fell , we fell , into it
And nobody could catch us , no!
We were falling so fast
We had no choice but to hold each others hands as we fell
We fell every hour , every minute , every second of everyday
Until , eventually ...
Our love ?
Broken into pieces
Pieces that could not be mended
Ended!
But love , could we not fight?
Or we were just without the strength
..... from falling

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
It dropped like raindrops
But they were salty, unlike raindrops
And like raindrops
It made things grow
Sometimes in a row
Grow
Grow pain
Grow misery
Grow loneliness
Grow hate
Grow withdrawal
Like raindrops
There was something at the end
Just not a rainbow
A heartache in a bow
But just like raindrops, from rain
I prayed for it
But unlike raindrops
I prayed for it to stop
Not to pour
But it did
I called it achedrops
And tomorrow night
Is yet another overcast..

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
Let’s take two steps forth in time...
My prayer is going to be ended by tears
My wishes flooded by salty water
Everyday I’m at war, fighting tears.
I used to know how to cry silently..
But now my cry is as loud as I imagine yours calling out to me..
At a war where I don’t only fight back tears..
But also beat down myself to my very lowest
Nothing hurts me more than the thought of even hurting you
I’m sorry...
Have I ever loved someone so much ?

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
There is this thing that happens when I write
The words
The lines
Which become eventually stanzas
Oh beautiful stanzas
Ink that gives life
Life to my thoughts
Thoughts I can never show
Thoughts the never show
Thoughts that are never seen
I see beauty in writing
It elevates my lips
Gives me smiles
Writing with no restrictions
Man I love me some poetic license
Its like a little world made , made just for me
Without rules ,
Without critics ,
Without heartbreaks ,
Without disappointments,
Just to be free ,
As long as I have ink and black sheets
Just write , write ....
I will write
I have found a friend in a pen
... friend

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
The feeling ,
What is this ,
Eats me up ,
Spits me out ,
Leaves me empty , hopeless
Hopeless
And what is life without hope ?
But the feeling
I love this feeling
I yearn for this feeling
The feeling of love
To love
To be loved
But what does the feeling do
Drains me every time of the life in me
The very little life I have in me
What then ?
Do I still give in to feeling
To the emotion
Let crave take over
The feeling
This feeling
I'd give anything to lose
The feeling
.....

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
I am sitting here thinking
Were you a curse or a blessing
A lesson or a blessing
Said I'm sitting here hoping
Hoping you come knocking
Sitting here praying
Pray that you come crawling
And as long as this heart is beating
This heart will be loving
Loving you though there is no reversing
You have done the thinking
And now you are walking
Here comes the stressing , the long nights crying , endless regretting
Now I have to be asking
Was it because of the feeling
That you are now leaving
Said I am sitting here watching you leaving , my heart beating . teeth grinding chest bumping
Just turn back and see the tears running
Then darling start turning..

Fundiswa Mhlanzi Poem
I held them back again tonight
Knowing it’ll happen again tomorrow night
I guess you were right
The two of us could never lose sight
But cry as I might
I have finally lost my light
The days before me are no longer so bright
But ride on my knight ..
I’ll hold on to the memories of you holding me tight
