Thembisile

She is the one that makes me laugh
Even when life seems tough
She can never be rough
Because she knows what I love

Thembisile is an angel
Not by looks but the heart
Always happy and easy
Except when she is hurt

My life feels complete
And incomplete without her
I truly am lucky
For having met her

Zulu people should be proud
For they have such people
Who are willing and giving
Thembisile forever I will keep you

Moments in class,cafe and lab
Few times in the library
Spending all our time in your room
Oh! we call it our room

Eating,crying and laughing together
Made us realize we love each other
Now life is filled with happiness
Because Thembi is no longer a friend but a sister

Last Dance

In pain u couldn't talk
Whenever I came to check on u
Lying in bed there
I knew u wanted to tell me something

Poor me I cried
And let myself avoid u
I thought I caused you pain
So I went in vain

Then here comes a phone call
I just lost my loved one
Grandma why did u go
Atleast  u could ask me first

Time really can tell
And at times it rings a bell
But sometimes it's like hell
Crazy moments of life

Felt like I should blame
All those around me
Maybe she could be saved
But I don't even know how

Cancer is a killer
People have to know
When it attacks someone
It kills slowly and painfully
Grandma, I love u

We made jokes all the time
Not knowing someday
U'll not even be able to speak
Now I know it all

U left with a part of me
I can feel the pain, newly
Everytime I think of u
And when I look at ur photo

I wish I knew the date
I would dance with u all night
And tell u good bye
Before u could die

But u are no longer here
Wait fot me where u are
Our hearts will speak 2 each other
I wana hear u saying
I miss u Irene

Emmanuel

Emmanuel is my Ex now
That hurts me the most
Promises he made to me
Vanished that easily

We used to fight
And then make it right
Playing together
I'll miss that forever

Things always used to matter
When I am around him
Because he loved me
And he knew I loved him more

He would write poems
About his Mom and politics
I love his sense of poetry
And i truly got this from him

When I opened his poems
I saw a new one
Named my name
Poem titled Irene

But why did we have to break up
And why can't we make up
Like we used to in the past
Or he doesn't love me anymore?

Maybe I need to relax
And let time tell
But what if time fails me
And he never comes 2 me again?

Emma is a genius
And ofcoz a bit serious
His eyes are very shy
Even when he is high

I miss the moments we shared together
At home, club, bar and bus stop
And the times u spoilt me
Happy because of thee

Wherever u maybe
Just know this is how I feel
Poet is what I wana be
It helps to heal.

My Everything

I call my life a blessing
Not because of what I am facing
But coz of the people I'm having
Especially Mom my Queen
She is my Everything

Alone she tried to raise me
My sisters and my brother
Without complaining
At times life failed her
But she was always on her knee

Our big family without him
Seem a bit like nothing
But thats how it is
We need to pray we manage
Because God is with us

Sometimes we cry
Untill tears dry
Yet we pray
2 reach the next day
Oh,Mom I know it's tough

One person carrying us four
Trying so hard not 2 fall
Climbing the mountains 
With us on her back
Falling, but yet she embarks

Sacrificing all the goods in life
For us to get all we want
Even when it's tough
She fights hard so hard
Making sure she provides

What a gift from God?
Mom,my everything
Without u I'm nothing
Please keep supporting
For forever I'll keep u with me

U always understand me
Even when I act mean and annoying
U truly are my Everything
My love, trust and happiness
Forever I shall keep u

Growing up with just u
And grandma who loves us
Taught me 2 be there 4 others
As the two of u did 2 me
My Mom, My Grany is who I wana be
