Tailanji Nachula Zombe Poem
A flamboyant love with a beloved muse,
Transcendent and captivating, the spirit destined to confuse.
As time currents flow, the hearts ignite and swell with amour,
Unveiling words of enchantment leaf by leaf in a tome like an author.
Every encounter with your visage makes me run wild,
To a degree of delineating all the giddiness like I'm a child.
Behind the intense fervor lies heartache and profound scars,
A trapped soul desperately yearning to grasp with distant stars.
The unbearable ache of healing and moving on,
Flashbacks and memories haunting silent intervals from dusk till dawn.
Mixed feelings of confusion and regret,
With a shattered heart that forgives but never forgets.
A heart laid bare awaiting to be loved and healed,
Yet never allowing entry even if they appealed.
From the ruins of love emerge bittersweet endings,
Unlurking shadows of love that bring fleeting winnings.
Touching the soul to its bottomless core,
Leaving the heart in pieces, sore.

Tailanji Nachula Zombe Poem
They told me that I would fall,
Not knowing I had alot in store.
I felt the pain,
But I new someday I would gain.
Nobody to trust nobody to lose,
I had no option but to choose.
It was so hard to open up,
Sometimes I would even feel like it was a trap.
I had to be strong,
So I had someone to tag along.
My life was a living hell,
But no one could tell.
All I did was smile,
And trust me no one knew I had walked an extra mile.
People saw the smile on my face,
Without knowing I was in a hectic race.
I thought it would never end,
But all I did was to mend.
The words were to painful too bear,
And no one had time to care.
It was a very hurtful experience,
Which was very intense.
I lost it all,
But I couldn’t give up and that’s one thing for sure.
I had to find myself,
And it was like checking every shelf.
It was so hard to believe,
But now it’s a relieve.
My heart was filled with sadness,
And it actually felt like madness.
I did things I didn’t mean to do,
And we’ll it’s true.
They made me become bitter,
But I always do my best to be better.
I almost lost my mind,
But despite everything I’ll always be kind.
They never understood me,
So I always sat alone under a tree.
I felt like I was trapped in a cage,
And sometimes I would rage.
Never let people define you,
Even though they might think you’re a fool.
Believe in what is right,
And you’ll never lose sight.
Always look at someone’s heart,
Because you’ll miss the best part.
Better to let go of diamonds and gold,
Than to break your heart for what won't be yours to hold.

Tailanji Nachula Zombe Poem
I was primed to nuture your soul until the end,
Seeking to be your endless passion but most importantly, your best friend.
A bliss with no expectations, conditions or boundaries,
The blazing ember that burns for more than centuries.
Endowing my fragile heart to be embraced,
Unaware of the agony to be faced.
I too, believed, trusted and loved you with all that was mine,
Never depicting a torn love that I would decline.
The whisper of promises, laughter and tears,
Your absence was unwaveringly one of my ultimate fears.
Time revealed the truth about what we shared,
Unfortunately it broke through at a time I was not prepared.
Betrayal and pain clouded my mind,
Thinking you were anomalous one of a kind.
Fighting inner demons and recovering from a heartbreak is not easy,
Sometimes when I ulttered words, you proclaimed they were cheezy.
Opening up to you was the biggest blunder I made,
Thus, the affection I had for you begun to fade.
Underneath the radiance I exhibited was a lonely soul looking for a heartfelt union,
It was as if I never had a companion.
Less attention and support triggered me,
My happiness never held significant, so I let it be.
Every nightfall tears rolled down my eyes,
Trying to comfort my own soul saying "you are the prize".
All the judgements I made were never acknowledged,
A relationship so complicated like the ones in college.
Blinded by your charming looks,
Desiring a celestial connection like from one of the books.
Doubts of giving love another chance,
Never looking back even at first glance.
Trusted that my heart was in good hands,
Breaking every part of me now including all the strands.
You will never see that side of me again,
Because your presence only brings back the pain.

Tailanji Nachula Zombe Poem
She wakes up in the morning with a bright smile,
Not knowing what sleep is - just a word spoken around.
So many voices echo in her ears saying "end it all,"
Fighting battles sometimes she can't even recall.
She will always be more than enough,
Even when things get tough.
Socialising is her greatest enemy,
Leaps through storms just to find a remedy.
Everyone has a story to tell,
Calm characters but yet still go through hell.
Tortured and hurt ignoring her feelings,
Struggling each time to start new beginnings.
The tongue is a poisoned arrow to the heart,
Leaving fresh wounds that never depart.
An innocent soul broken and bruised,
With an aura so strong, one can't help but be amused.
Pain is just a word until it's inflicted,
And sadly, it strikes when least predicted.
Her strength is not something to take forgranted,
She bounces back with power that leaves hearts haunted.
