That Was My Sin

It was to love deeply and unconditionally
It was not to compromise my well being
It was to regard any human being with fairness and equality

Never judge a book by its cover
Never make a promise you cannot keep
Never underestimate your enemies
Never anticipate your heart desires

It was to stand up for those I cherished
It was to fight for what I believed in
It was to embrace my humanity

The Tears Have Fallen

Pour your heart to the world
Feel those extra ordinary feelings
Pour your heart to the one you love
Receive those blessings 
A dream has come true
Is it that the truth 
Show yourself,

The truth is a wonderful thing
As it puts things in perspective 
Honesty is a priceless thing
As it shows who you are
Love is a two way ingredient 
As it acknowledges what you are capable of
Show yourself,

Pour your resources into your hands
Feel the air
Pour your tears into the sky
Feel the vibration of the universe 
A dream has been manifested
Is it that the truth?
Show yourself.

The Saying

The say its a myth
How can that be
They say its a norm
Who said that
Its what the say

Never open your mouth
Unless you are required to do so
Never make a decision
Unless you are willing to endure the consequences
Never underestimate anyone
Unless you are making a full of yourself

They said it was written
Who wrote it
They said it was known
Who could have known
It what they said

Being a Xhosa Woman

I am proud of who I am
While respecting other cultures
I honour my womanhood
While I take pride in my manhood
Understanding it is to go through it

As I am comfortable in my own skin
Being inspired by the culture
May the ancestors be awakened
As I am raised in a Christian environment
Being mesmerised by faith
May the holy spirit fall on me
As I am about to raise the spear in the air
Being confident in my alignment
May the whole nation know
Appreciating my blessings

I am honoured of who I have become
While being thankful to the challenges and struggles
I cherish those sweet and sour memories
While I praise my enemies
To know it is to go through it

Love Yourself

Do not be afraid of the unknown
As the unknown
Would lead to possibilities
Which formulates
Victory, victory

Settling for less
On what you deserve
Is not an option
It is not respectful
Settling for love
That is conditional
As you feel the need to be loved
Is laughable

Do not be afraid to explore
As the inner growth
Would manifest it is self
Which releases
The chain of confusion

It Is Called

Is when the touch is felt
Without being touched
Is when the kiss is felt
Without being on the lips
It is intimacy

Is when the eyes are staring
Without being noticed
Is when the stomach has goose bumps
Without the acne
It is intimacy

Is when the heart focuses
Without distractions
Is when the feelings are in sequence
Without the control of the mind
It is intimacy

Is when the cuddle is enough
Without the expectations
Is when love is on the mind
Without the thoughts
It is intimacy

Now,Its the Time

They call it self healing
They call it dancing to a song
They call it exercising the vocal chords,sing it load
It is culture

They call it the lost and found
They call it faith,piercing into the soul
They call it blessings,upon blessings
It is culture

They call it past and present not knowing the future
They call it misunderstandings that occurred and needs rectification
They call it history in the making
It is culture

They call it knowledge that was absorbed
They call it a transformation of natural beings
They call it a prophecy that was seen
It is culture

The Lost Man

The one with a sweet cherry lips
The one with a piercing eyes
The one with a weird sense of humour
The one who does not carry the heart on his sleeves

The obstacles are challenges
The hassles are opportunities
The lemons are the sweetness
The mind is to indulged

The one who's  focus is so intense
The one who's not persuasive
The one who's smile mesmerise the soul
The one who's eagerly ready

The memories are there to be a constant reminder
The love given is there to be received
The decisions are there to be consequences
The heart is there to be nurtured

A Soldier

I was never raised for it
Circumstances lead me to be
I was not meant for it
But I had to be

Awareness was crucial
Readiness was the key
Adaptability was my nickname
Wisdom was essential

Tears were shed
Pain was endured
Togetherness was created
Loyalty was born

Strength was my calling
Fitness was my gift
Stamina was the air I breath
Fear was not part of the my equation

I had to be
I needed to be
I was
I am

You Are Not Defined By

The rain that pours unexpectandly
The storm that comes and goes
The sun that shines brightly
The seasons that change randomly

The same old stories
The change that is inevectable
The spontaneous opportunities
The growth that is in moderation

The pain that is endurable
The smile that is a pretence
The laughter that is there to smooth the heart
The weird sense of humour

The rumours that are going around
The environment that interferes with happiness
The acceptance of a religion
The colour of the skin
