Simply Bridgy

“Kgoeni hlahladlela ngomzimba abanye bayihlahlangenyawo  
inyoni sakhakumbi yasilisa umlomo esdodotsheni 
wena nronjana wakasomkgawu
wena matinininizana, wobawobana owahoba ingwe ngomlenze
matininizana owathi bafazi bakwakgoeni khambani niy' emakhenu ikomo le sosala siyidl' nenjana zikababa
wenaphanruphanrwana, wena owadla amasi ngophondo 
wenahlokohloko lomlambo phofolo, ghadiali, mabalo, kgoeni”

Ndlovukazi, ntombi Kwa Mathibela, Msuthu
Ingilozi, Isimomondia,
Umtwana o muhle nje nge Jerusalema,
Phuma langa sikothe
Wathinta inhliziyo yam’, nga futumala
Dudlu ntombazana, Kwa vela wena ilanga la veza umona,
Ukhanya kundlula inyanga ne inkanyezi
See you are an artistic Picasso in a life form
Art with beauty sharper than lightning in a storm
A voice that resembles a classic love song 
Composed from guitar strings and piano keys
Thoughts of you….. Long breath…..heart skipped a beat
My tongue praising the truth of your beauty
An African Queen blazing fire indeed
Pink blushes from your yellow bone skin
Picture our lips lock like a daylight dream
Framed in gold, I’m wishing for a never ending stream
As my ink dries on paper, words fade like vapor
May the darkness shiver as light shines upon you
May the rivers forever take refuge in your beautiful smile
May the winds find peace in your shining eyes
Now and forever till the end of time….

Things Fall Apart

Absolute love always be the start, 
But things do fall apart,
Especially matters of the heart,
At times it comes embroidered like art,
Collaborating with melodies from Mozart ,
Hanging at the park, in the dark,
Observing stars, suddenly we lost the spark.
In open light, I see your eyes,
Shining bright, with authentic lies,
Since we lost those butterflies,
Yet we find it hard to say goodbye,
Denying to cut our ties, 
Living in compromise to become one’s standby,
See for me this is a break through,
It’s not really about you,
But whoever knew, our love would be second to a hairdo,
Not to put you on a guilt trip,
I’m just passing, on my way to find peace,
Yet another lesson learned,
At times in love we get burned,
So goodbye my lover, my friend,
No more shall I pretend, 
That I’m your godsend.
See, things do fall apart,
Especially matters of the heart,
We now have to go back to the start,
With the hope that things won’t fall apart.

But yeah, things do fall apart........

Onge-Body-Justice

See I’m trapped in that Onge-Body-Justice
My imagination changes her body images
And simply creates my ultimate Onge-Body-Fantasies
I can literally see my skin tattooed to yours
And feel my blood pressure pause
Your eyes captivating mines
I’m weakened by the curves of your thighs
My tongue indulging the pair north of your hips
Up to your divine, secretive yet seductive lips
Lost in the waves of your body flawless in nature
The touch of your hands screaming ecstasy
The density of this chemistry so heavenly
In-between pauses gasping for air - breathlessly 
See I’m captured in that Onge-Magic
Thoughts too dramatic, yet so ecstatic, I’m an Onge-Fanatic
I’m talking experience of mystic self-transcendence
See I’m intrigued by that Onge-Sex-Appeal
A glance of unique, exquisite, prestige beauty
In the face of reality
 I find myself in the presence of a beautiful soul
Complimented by her Onge-Body-Justice
Onge-Body-justice
So refreshingly Onge-Fantastic.

Dear Miss

Dear Miss,

Three meetings, I suffer from the rate at which my heart is beating,
we been seeing each other for so long when will we start greeting.
Your beauty gazed my right eye like graffiti art styles,
I got lost in a trans from your golden smile.
My imagination sparking interest, for instance,
you and I making love on levitating water tides,
your eyes mirroring sparkling stars in the skies.
Thoughts of my skin to hers, conversing in short breaths ,
you see, how intense it gets, when you blow me with the touch of your hands,
captivated by sexiness imprinted on your body,
I was ready to be that somebody,
brother to the night, bearer of your thighs,
treat them like scientific equations to delight.
When I calculate my touch to add a thrust of passion,
when  we get it on there will be no limitations,
my fingers moving through your body in silence,
while my palms caress for your patience.
Your body screaming speak, it was a plea,
to intensify the tease, my tongue in the right piece,
while I'm down on bended knees.
Your scent leaves a trail of yearning,
your naughty by nature so seductive,
persona most definitely inviting.

Dear miss,
could you court me with a kiss,
in-between the sheets, 
I hope this climax we may complete.
so I can finally awake from my erotic dream.

Social Ills

Past behavior predicts future insanity 
Child lost in ills of society
Driven past attention disorders
Family lacks law & order
Her right arm, left to the dark
Deep down, heart torn apart
Longing for parental love
Daddy gotta make da money baby
Stand steady 
Attention in the form of money
Mommy ain’t ready 
To sacrifise time for young Katy 
“Kids cannot teach kids how to live” 
So dear parent
Before your child takes preference
To nude dances, alcohol ,
Drug abuse, cause u left her unattended,
Give thought to what is important,
“kids cannot teach kids how to live” 
So please don’t let your child 
Get lost in social ills.

She Rose

She Rose
She beautiful Rose

She is a resembles of precious stones
Carved in Egyptian cotton robes 
Her beauty, the creators genius stroke
Picture sunlight rays on her face
She is a thorn-less rose without compare
A woman my heart will forever endear
Our fates intertwined 
I'm yours to keep, you are mine
Everyday feelings of butterflies
Engraved hearts at the peak of the skies
My sweet melodies my mahogany soul

Dear Rose
I meant it when I said 
I care for you 

You are my sanity 
My safe space, my godsend
Your smile echoes happiness
Loving you is so seamless 
Your eyes sparkle with grace
Imprinted perfectly on your face
Your beauty my everyday embrace
The feel of your touch gives me a rush 
My heart pouncing in abnormal beats 
When yours and mines speaks
Intrigued by the feeling of peace
When our own shadows meet
And our tomorrow's becomes so real
So when all words are spoken
And all walls are broken...remember 

Dear Rose
I meant it when I said...I love you
