Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Bloody skies
New beginnings
Fresh
Warm
Glorious scent
From heaven it was sent
Long before
We walked this land
It was moulded
Sculpted
Created
Perfected
By the Maker
Legends tell of
The dark spirit
Turning trees
Trying to take the land
The Maker
Made the tree strong
Made it proud
Made it unbreakable
Just like the people
That believe in Him
The Maker perfected this land
More than before
Filling with
Mighty roars
Soft rumbles
Silent wings
Bouldering calls
Gentle purrs
Manic laughs
So with this
Wild heart I call mine
I will delight myself in
The Makers
Creations
Running soon
Running far
To set wild hearts free
Like a flaming master
Taking its fiery hold
Over all things
Dry and old
Only to uncover
What has been bleeding
To be seen
Our wild hearts
Beat with
Gentle giants footfall
Beating slow steady
Ready to be set free
Ready to breathe
What was mine to be
With blazing sun
Firing down
Onto cracked
Down ground
Between thick brush
Under the mighty baobab
With the creations all around
My wild
African heart
Soon to be found

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
At night
When she lays down
Body to jaded
Spirit long since faded
But, Her restless mind
Awakens
Telling her
Who she is
What she will be
The nights that
Will soon follow
How it will end
With a gun in hand
She sees a woman
To scared to stand
To timid to speak
In her mind always
A lioness ready to fight
But in actual fact
A cub weary
Weak
She sees a scared
Little girl
Burning in the eyes
Of the beholder
The seducer
The personal foe
Where will it end
This laying bare
This bleeding trend
Where will it end
In a glint of stainless
She sees
A sudden timelapse
Of a future of use
Of many men Served
At night
As her body is shook
In rhythm
To perpetrators
Scornful looks
One by one
They finish
One by one
They leave her
Staring up into oblivion
Hoping the pain will end
Praying for amends
Screams in her eyes
Begging for forgiveness
Her face stays blank
Waiting for the next
To ruin her rank
A snap back to reality
What now?
What next?
She hugs her knees
Afraid of what will be
Click
She is set back quick
She is standing above
What seems to be
Her not much younger self
Sitting on her feet
Angrily crying
Hands manically clawing
At the sides of her head
She suddenly rises
RedVelvet seeping
Through her pale skin
The frenzied search begins
A timelapse again
She sees herself
Ferociously scratching with a pen
The anger in a book
Soon to be hidden again
A creak of a door
Sends her spiralling back
Into the now
Into the black
Defeat
Will her prediction
Be her end?
The only thing left
A gun in shaking hand

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Heart pounding
Nervous feeling
Overwhelming
Deep breath to shake it
Cold chill slivers down fast
Beating against cage of heart
Cage of body
Cage of soul
Legs begging to run
Heart aching to be free
Truth to self
aching to be seen
Sweet scent of dry savannah plains
Sharp smell of thorny veins
The aroma of Africa surrounds
Scents sights sounds
In these home is found
Frustration mounts
Captured leopard
Bound
Snarling at every motion made
Scared but defiant
Blinded by fear and rage
Paws long for endless journeys
On paths walked centuries ago
For elegance in element
A space all her own
Where earth still bleeds red on horizon
Morning and night
Continuing the endless fight
Fight for borderless freedom
Everlasting sight
The pale yellow green eyes
Dismays the truth inside
But tell the story
Of wild soul
Story to unfold

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Girl
In short black dress
Standing infront
Of un wanting crowds
Staring through
Her soul
Dismissed
They look with judgement
Seeping through
Dark eyes
Jeering at her misguided mind
Perfect?
Ha! she'll never be
Far to different
This one is
They surround her
Like predator with its prey
Looking closely
At the imperfection
That leaks
From misformed body
Twisted soul
Prodding at scars on skin
"What is this we have?...
Pain inside got to much?
Had to show for all to see?
Attention seeker we have here"
They turn to dark whirlwind
Surrounding her fragile being
Keeled over on judgement
So harsh
Even her utmost strength
Is ripped aghast
It echoes in her head
Imperfect
Injured
Flawed
Disfigured
Impure
Falling to her knees
The dark whirlwind
Encloses with ease
Obscuring sane thoughts
Hate within spawns
She tries to rise
Knocked down again
Second time
Knocked down
Third
Knocked
After hundreds of tries
The will to give up
Arises
But again once more
She rises
Up on shaking legs
The whirlwind disappears
Far off they still stand
Judging
Jeering
Demeaning
Her being
But Far to different
This one is
Conformed by the norm
She'll never be
To free to be caged
To wild to be kept
Freedom from the mould
She truly is
Turning her back
Valiantly on societies
Critical cliques

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Listen to the sounds of night
Close your eyes
Beware the fright
Thoughts cascade
Through brim-filled mind
Help her
Help her
She is blind
Starts to seep
The frustration
Hid so deep
The untrusting of any soul
The always suspicious toll
One took and broke
Perfect ideals
Thoughts evoked
Cascade
Cascade down
Until still life played
In front of seamless eyes
Brutal attacks
Heinous crime
Run run run
Quick
And hide
Heart seems not to beat
Only quiet little leaks
That no one sees beneath
Body aches to be fee
But soul it seems
Captured
Smothered
Ceased
Slow uneasy feet
Carry her too unwilling defeat
To talk
To not
To hide away initial thoughts
Not to be caught
Around devils door
Around a hellward bound
Simple sound
The screeching sound
Of metal scrounge
Across cast iron
Over soft white
Pillow like
Late at night
Thoughts collide
Cascading down
Her intricate mind
A frown it seems
The only mask
That seem her fiend
Run little girl
Run they scream

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Clutches closing
Bleeding broken
Bruised battered
Heart
Shouting
Screaming
For salvation
Redemption
Saviour!
Dark
Black
Cold claws
Taking hold
Soul starving
Worthless
Alone
Lost
Gone
Dead?
Tattered body
Broken skin
Tears
Smiles
Dark black eyes
Staring back
Reflection
Revolting
Ruined?
Taken close
Left to fall
Breath
Snap
Click
Bang?
Pleading
For Rescuer
Begging
Not to fall
Crying
For freedom
From his evil hold
Anger
Resentment
Hate
Hurt
Danger!
Truth
Hope
Faith
Love
Safe?
Holding onto pieces
Of a broken whole?
Burnt bridges
Cold glows
Broken
Lost
Alone
Running
From a past
Done
Happened
Said
Running towards
Unknown
Hope for salvation
Help to save?
Love to show?
Hand to hold?

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Little girl standing tall
High above
What told of mighty fall
The world is lost
No hope no trust
But in dark country
In to solid stone
Home is cast
Bright fiery sunsets
Vivid starlit nights
Jackal calls
Lion roar
Little girl
At peace with world
Sun dried earth
Mighty beasts
No defeat
Just voiceless rumbles
Mighty and strong
Little girl no longer stumbles
Running wild along with beasts
Feet barely touching worldly deceit
Scorching African sun
Beating down
Freedom finally found
Little girl stares into made flames
Seeing old life old thoughts
Smiling at her untamability
Little girl standing tall
Arms outstretched
Face lifted to heaven
Drenched in new life
Sacredly touched
Finally safe
Thanking The Creator
For His amazing grace

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
To leave
Or to stay
To fight
Or destroy
Never meant
Never intend
Never wanted
It all to fall
So it starts
So it ends
so its racing to defend
Angry words left unsaid
Lonely hearts still searching on
Fight fought with all might
Seemingly lost beyond all trust
Halo keeping all safe
Fading into mirky skies
Stood and fought
For hours
Hurt and pain it brought
But promise made
Promise kept
Never to be left alone
Always taught
Not to let it fade
It was strong
Feeling weak
It was whole
Feeling broken
What happend
What fell
What made it all
Turn and run
What sounded
The end of round bell?
When did it dwindle
Where did time go
When did we turn
To what we never were
Never wanted to be
A bitter sight?
A deadly sound?
A problem child?
Forever loyal I will fight
Forever true I will stay
Forever at ur back I will be
Come hell high water
And the 7 seas
It now is your call
Stay
Or run
What ever it may be
This is my promise
This is my plea
Hold on
And fight WITH me

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
Hide it before they see
Put up that smile
That everyone believes
Hide it away
Hide it quick
Hide it and draw that shield
Its alright
I won't tell
Of the silent screams
That lurk within you
hiding them so well
Just promise not to tell
Of the screams I harbor
In the deadly hallows swell
Come inside
Come and see
The maze of thought
That left me to bleed
One in the same
We truly are
The ones that hide the Evil
Hide it so well
Nobody sees the tears behind
That made beautiful eyes die
At night they lie and wait
For our minds to drift away
As they see we let down guards
They leap from the shadows
Leaping so quick
And silently they slip through windows
Left unclipped
Burning claws
Clasping tight around
Our fatigues souls
Taking what makes us whole
They make us believe
We are not worthy
Not worthy at all
Bound by the Evil
Bound so tight
Afraid of the light
In darkness we start to dwell
Bind getting tighter
Trying
To fill
Succeeding
To kill
Here's my confession
Here it is presented to thee
The one Evil caught
Along with me
You are strong
You are brave
To take a walk inside
To fight against
The Evil
That kept us from the light
But little did they know
To each other we gave sight
Our hands clasped so tight
Together we fight
The Evil it shrieks
In anger of what it’s done
His own mistake taking him down
Never put two brave souls
Together in a hole
They will get up
And raise all hell
And keep on fighting
Till they hear the finishing bell

Fierce Malilangwe Poem
The thousandth time rerun
The crying
The apologies
The unspoken regret
Yet you stood
Like a statue of marble
Your eyes quiet
So shut down from emotion
So ruined by what you felt
Just an empty shell
She stood screaming at your face
The one that never left
The one that had your back
No matter what was ahead
The one, no matter how many times
You broke her into unfixable pieces,
Came back, trying to be sure
That you would make it
Taking no regard for herself
How many times did she quietly
Begged for you to come back
Not the emotionless monster you've become
But the rugged angel
That saved her from her own hell
She stood
Her body convusing from tears
You just turned and walked away
She tried to explain
You didn't listen,
She spoke in vain
She never wanted more
Than just the person you were
She just wanted someone
To love and miss her unconditionally
Of how badly she had fallen
How scared and broken she was
She stood speaking fact to you
She told you exactly
You didn't listen
You turned your head and shut down
She was trying to protect you
Didn't you see?
That's all she wanted
Was someone to protect
To be protected
To clouded to say no
You tore her once more
A I love you note
Before heinous deed
Didn't you feel guilty?
Not even a bit?
She gave everything she possibly could
Just to not be put on the shelf again
But pride clouded your mind
And she was placed right at the back
The person who never left
The person who chose to not see what you lack
She got tired
And decided it was time to stand
Time to shy her face away
From the evil heart breaking anger within her
So with some words said
And Some words left
To fester within
She ended it
She ended her personal sin
