Bright Star
There are two kinds of people in this world, there are Hummers and there are Nails. You decide which one you choose to be.
Mallow, soft, smooth and sweet. A type of heart that speaks in silence
Lingers with joy in the mind, questions piles up, answers disappear…
Life can bring pain, there are a lot of ways to deal with this pain…
Take a step back, listen to the voice in your head, does it make sense? To me it didn’t only because I had a lot in my head. I couldn’t even analyse the little. Life, what is life?
The joy, the cry, the feeling. That changed everything. Left me hanging
Bright star, the time I realize am not alone, but with an angel. He speaks to me, at first I ignore because my faith is too low. He tries again, this time he pisses me off, I call him names, because I think he’s trying so hard to destroy me. All I have and still to get.
Until I realize that he meant good, and not to hurt me or all I had in mind, yet it feels too late to ask for forgiveness. The same life turns around. In my head it doesn’t make sense. The fact that I was with my star for only a week, and I didn’t even understand why he was around.
Mallow, marrow, smoke.
Doesn’t go together. 3 totally different things… looking at my life just from high school, all that have graduated from that time till now, I guess it’s all about CHOICES. Whether you are a hummer or a nail.
I don’t want to decide which one is better.
Am aggravated without it, still got the power, still got the vision… blame it on the rain and enjoy being wet because it doesn’t matter. I prefer to be comfortable with my skin.
Meditate, meditate, and meditate
Rest my soul, accept things, this is how it should be, enjoy and love
I know heaven isn’t mine so I keep on falling down. I got people that still owe me an apology, do they even come back, I pray that one day they slip and say something. I know that the truth always come out.
I know the vengeance is the Lords’ and not for me, I know the punishment is for you and not for me, you place your trouble on whatever you were told him…
I don’t see urge to make you feel pain, all I want is something really special, something that doesn’t really explain much. The use of me having it is just to be automatically noticed.
Don’t medicate, Don’t complicate things, just live life to the fullest and listen to heart and your bright star
I had to learn, nothing was easy out there. It was just amazing how I found it to be simpler than anyone else.
Bright Star!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
ESCAPE!!!
The thought of him escaping made him feel secure,
hated but safe, he went out not knowing where he was going to,
Or who he'll find there.
His goal was finding joy, peace and comfort...
Being free to a certain stage,
Loved but not cherished. Broken was she after finding out that,
she was the cause of all his pain,
Down grading was she, desperate for money and respect
he's heart was so bruised, he couldn't bear it anymore...
Escape was the only answer, she did it all, not valuing how and what he thinks,
the fact that she was the parent, didn't necessarily matter,
in the eyes of other humans
They fought for what they thought was right...
Desperate and willing to sacrifice anything and everything,
Just for one goal, Love and freedom...
All the rebellious actions committed, as it looks now,
So difficult to turn back and fix, to move away from biting yourself up, for the same mistakes. Same problems
It all happened in a snap of a finger,
Without a deep thought, it lingers in my mind how special they are supposed to feel and pretend everyday.
To maintain a certain relationship...
How they wake up everyday, fix they faces and smile in delight
and happiness like their lives depend on them,
Once again escaping never felt so good, how patient and passionate they look,
Given the joy, the ignorance and the love,
I would strive to make a difference, not looking at the religious qualities and quantities but, the most important thing.
LOVE
The words you bring within, sometimes identifies how you can lie to yourselves and yet feel good about it...
The Pre-tendency of people who live without acknowledgements have implications...
The thought of living a fake life trying to escape from the truth, is wrong.
Meanwhile trying to escape from pain to LOVE is a very brave and wise decision, that people should make.
The thought of it is deprived by the action taken, sometimes caused by depression, anger and/or blame...
Running or walking may sound very easy but yet overwhelming,
Am not against it, if it's for the right decisions...
Consider LOVE, and Happiness
Enjoy!!!!
Thank you.

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Mind broken thoughts
The thought of a man is another man's struggle, she withers with delight
Feels so wrong yet seems so right,
So stiff and uptight are her thoughts.
It doesn't make sense at times, but yet undeniable
The gift of man stays between the heart, hard to define
and slow to distribute
Its easy made from a thought but yet difficult to conspire
Inspiration drown near, hardens the pure in heart
Gives less strength to the weak, produces shinny smiles to the powerless.
The mind broken thoughts
The deeper the mind goes, the harder it is to return.
Soft thoughts
Time giving are they, mind blowing are they
Most of them, difficult to remember, and also a struggle to forget.
What really does the mind want?
It seems as if it comes from the big head, but really the mind is as big as a fist.
Thoughts of cries, thoughts of love, even heart breaking thoughts.
It lingers into my mind how we as mature as we are,
Struggle to make the right choices, it takes love and distress
I find it easier to think and to compile a few thoughts,
Not because am perfect or special
But because it takes time, and that am also patient with myself.
Thank you!!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Leaves are green,
green makes them alive
yellow makes them dead,
magic comes from water, and the heart that cares
just like when a person is hungry,
care is shown, by the action one takes,
to better the situation.
Life wasn't meant to be easy,
no simple...
it was made to puzzle one's brain for a moment,
Love,
Love is patient, love is kind..
to one love is a two way thing,
don't expect to be loved, if you cannot love,
patience is sharp, given the opportunity,
i would cherish,
writing is a skill, reading is better yet made simple for the lazy heads...
and challenging, for the challenged minds.
an escape to knowledge,
made better without wisdom,
wisdom not seen,
not experienced, and mostly silence,
for one moment i was a yellow leaf,
left without water,
not a single drop,
everytime i saw Him,
my heart melted with joy in disguise
i wasn't sure whether or not it was going to be forever,
but for a second i wasn't worried.
obviously scary though
i waited patiently, until i couldn't
that's when we realised patience wasn't really my thing
and not like i expected you to be,
I knew i was wrong for a moment.
told my best friend about it, but it seem
to have not made a difference
still miss the meals,
the goodnight and good morning kisses,
the longest hugs ever
oh so much happiness.
I would cherish,
knowing i lived the best life money could buy...
better than my fellow friends!
I love him and his magical hands.

Letwin Mpofu Poem
When i come to the end of the road,
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in the gloom filled in the room,
Why cry for a soul set free?
I went not by choice but it was time
Time for you to say Goodbye
Memories i had with most people were awesome and am glad
Glad to have gotten the opportunity,
Opportunity to fulfill my purpose wisely
Purpose of hope, love and happiness.
Set me free, as you live to find a better Me,
Miss me a little, but not for long
Only because am no more, but you have to move on.
Don't sit down and cry, because it cannot be undone.
Remember the love we once shared, the unforgettable jokes you used to say.
Of which some, i didn't understand, but i laughed to them so that you don't feel sad or boring.
You miss me?
Set me free an cry no more maybe there's a better place after this life,
If so, hope to join me when its time.
For this is a journey we must all take,
Happy or sad,
And each one must go alone
Understand that its a step on the road Home,
When you feel lonely and sick at heart,
Go to friends we know and trust
Understand that, not everyone cares the same
And whom you think does, actually doesn't
Or,
Laugh at the things we used to do together,
Right or wrong, matters not
Brings closure
Again i ask,
Do you miss me?
Let me go and be happy!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Purpose fuels passion
Excerpt from the anthology!
A dry quiet day, withered with cold...
Seasons change, the sky so white, is it really snow
Who knows, or probably it raining ice water.
The sense of the rain is easy to be heard, different of course
From the water out of the tap nor shower.
The blue light flashing out in the store house,
The significant joy from a woman’s heart, could
You really tell whether she was happy or not.
She chuckles all by herself and smiles in disguise,
Maybe she hath seen it all, what might be her passion…
The scent feels good to her, is it how she should feel or she probably was fooled?
The question remains unanswered
The sudden change of the season is to blame, clueless
A sudden shake, head or heart
She must have realized or imagined something
Are her instincts right or probably mistaken
She questions the misery nobody
But yet finds no answer,
Will she ever finds what she wants?
At the moment her intense desire is help…
The pain of not knowing what her outcome will be
Haunts her till she decides to return back to the blue light
She cries in distress, until a voice advance to where she was standing,
She thought she might be dreaming, but she remembered the
Wise man’s word with a deep voice whispering (the joy is in the heart covered
With passion and fruit of its fuel, a mouthwatering scent gushing all over your lips)...
Why can’t you feel or taste a thing?
Its clear isn’t it?
She wakes up in moody terms, questioning how much she’s worth
Does it all matter?
She walks on the pathway right to the flashing light,
Still searching for answer, but with a heart like hers,
She finds it hard to get what she desires, (FAITH)
Enjoy!i!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
FIVE MINUTES
If you had only that much time to make a change, just 5 minutes, seemed so little yet it’s a lot.
Think about it, that little time given to make a difference, make a change in your life.
For someone who thinks before acting would use it wisely, it take a fool to know a fool and a wise man to know and understand the wise.
What are you?
It is known how not a lot of people make decisions, maybe based on a challenge to make a difference or continue suffering and struggling.
To me 5 minutes is a lot,
I can definitely analyse something within that much time, it might look impossible but it is,
It all begins from the heart and how you control your mind.
A set of time, knowledge counts for something. If I was to go back in time, 5 minutes back I would make a huge difference.
Just like the day in earlier 2011, when it that the following day I was writing an exam.
That 5 minutes would make a difference.
Or the other time when I decided to disobey and steal, 5 minutes given I would think 3 times more about it before doing it.
Just didn’t use my head. Or maybe I did, it’s difficult to realize how much people care about you.
The things they go through to make a change for you,
The way they are treated just so you could smile and appreciate life more.
It’s sad how we can’t take back time, maybe make a difference and not only do things that suit us but also for those that care, they that check us every day to make sure we are happy.
Five minutes

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Love Rape
People define 'rape' as something bad,evil and painful;
I guess maybe it's the way we view things,
Love yet amazing, joyful, enjoyable...
The end at the beginning, to finish once begun,
Forcefully she feels, yet doesn't realize how special she is loved
Confusion to thee, who tries so much to make a way, stressful
It's painful and hard to love someone and they don't see it, neither do they realize how special you are to them...
Thy heart with pain, soothers the soul
Confuses the mind, yet brings peace to thee
The rape of love, brethren's heart escape, longing for who's willing,
Broken for the unsure, questioned by the confused,
The secretly in peace, love in disguise,
Confused are they that care, wasting their time to realize the gift
To see the unseeable, the unusable, and the unspoken
Love changes the mind, makes me realize that it lives in us all,
As small as it is, yet so lovely
Rape yet described as evil, and bad
Seems honestly good and understandable, comfort to the mind,
Because of love, peace and a giving heart.
Never ending is it, Joy in words, describing how I feel and analyse it all.
To inspire those in waiting, thinking there's no use.
No love yet broken.
Willing not realizing how blessed they are to be loved
Especially by the one who forcefully loves you, and teaches you what she thinks is right...
Thank you, Enjoy!!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Swallow dreams
The saddest of all, yet sweet and amazing
Passion draws near to they that dream, visualize the action before happening.
I give credit to they dream in the afternoon, than they that dream at night
Because creative are they that dream on daylight.
Analysing the system before acting,
The time we get isn't yet enough, soft thoughts that make us cry,
Laugh, sing and jump.
We dream to admire,
We see yet we don't understand the development and the inspiration.
Love from a happier thought,
We close our eyes everyday and wait to open them once again.
The time moves, sometimes seems short and sad
The difference is from the heart,
We travel to different places, and at times we don't come back (death)...
Do you wonder why, when you wake up from sleep and sleep again the dream changes for something else,?
A dream, a succession of images, ideas, and emotions
All in your head
The outcome can be a nightmare or a fantasy.
Thank you!!

Letwin Mpofu Poem
Back in those days, when I used to love with all of my heart,
Never mind how hard it could be at times,
Knowing that he whom you love, doesn’t even notice you,
All the errands you made and pushed for him,
Just so he could happy, tears shed, jokes giggled…
You made all those just so, you could feel special,
Wanted and cared for, gone are those time when you wished,
It could be sweet at some point,
Always day dreaming, stars and happiness in your heart,
Joyful, and happy…
Smiles and mysterious laughs
You could giggle and people wonder,
Just how you could be so lucky, lucky to have been dating the hottest guy in class,
Gone are those days, where you could let your money go to him,
Only because he was your crush, how you felt about him,
Made people surprised, especially on, why…
Why him?
It felt so different, just how I saw things.
Sometimes I would feel like maybe am pushing a door that says ‘pull’?
Priceless beauty of soul and body
Only battle by milk and honey,
The only sugar that makes my flavour,
Take this fancy favour scripted on a little piece of paper.
Meeting you was like a dinner with the president.
Looking at you was inspiring than a look at the Bugatti
Walking on top of stakes is useless when I can lay my six – pack on top of your stomach,
I just cracked into you, so don’t tell me not to rush.
I love you deeper than no hole
Deeper than deep house, deeper until the bottom of my soul
Dig deeper and you’ll see us grow
Together we grow
We flow
We know
That on our row
We ride like stars in the flow…
You know!!
Dreaming about you was like
I won a lotto,
In my imagination it was like a perfect photo,
