A Distant Voice

Thy voice sounds like violin from distance
Melody of the holy angels
Thy beauty bouncing along the conductor
The airwaves beautified by the rhythm
A glut of neurons awakened by a giggle
How thy voice closes distance by wire?
My receiver agitates from life
Thy words transmit power through the wire.

The command you possess over my body;
Pauses not there!
 Pass it on to non-biotic
Come dismiss my lesions.
When the air is saturated
It penetrates my dual engine of life,
With trebled effort much as of gamma
Even the clouds display thy image
Oh! What a natural wonder!
 Do all the eyes witness the beauty at once?

I wonder what gives you reign.
Who crowned you this way?
My mind meant to rest-you take me far
The frame is at rest-your presence feeds my spirit
Together we traverse the world
All places far from imagination
Within a blink of the mental eye!

The Tribute

To the legendary teacher I pay tribute
For imparting live voices to the mute
You paid gratitude
To the multitude
On the mountain top you stood
And all the heads understood
You never said ‘Never’
As admired in Geneva;
Tremendous work for real
Remains in me a thrill!

You explored the world
Left in me a living word
Instilled sight onto my mind
In place of being blind.
Domesticated me where I went wild
I lost you – I remain worried
Your education
Was a dedication
For my emancipation
Through marked participation

Hot springs of wits gush out of turgid mazards
Thus; unleashing veracity poses no hazards
From the famous profit and loss account 
To how elasticity of demand is paramount 
The art of blending species of flora in the gardens, 
Merging ideas to console those carrying burdens 
Powders mixed to thwart the woes of gout
For chemical blending of dust into ceramic tiles and grout 
Artistic laying of tiles with no doubt, 
Farmers add granules of compounds to combat drought  
Mixing small grains into carling draught
Or into flour and oil for palatable dishes and crust
Spinning of the ginnery, linen craft
Crafting aprons which the chefs trust    
Perpendicular tors of triumph echo from Arithmetic
Beneficiaries seducing lasses with cosmetics.
Rhyming rhythms of iambic pentameter;
With 13 amps flowing – records the ammeter,
Or 6 000 amps of the high voltage arc
Fusing rival elements into the Ark
Compelling hard cores of high resistance  
Leaving them for complete ‘non-existence’.

We had signed the Teacher concession;
Of study, participation and concentration,
That was the ‘Moyo Treaty’.
Though the exam is always tricky
Finally we dilute the concentrate
Textbook to notes - our carbohydrate.
I recalled my teacher through secondary
That he knew no boundary
He taught to set apart
What had been one part
He taught negative effects of Mainstay,
But God has the main stay 
That death has a long stay!
Water is enough to stay!

In that his last essay
He scribbled a lot I can’t say
Keys of wisdom I surrender
We can’t be put asunder
	Teacher – pupil
	Your words I fulfill
	I can now feel
	A gap I can’t fill!

Zorora murugare, Lala ngokuthula!

Keep Waiting

Keep waiting [lullaby essay] 

Prior to my expected appalling arrival
Accept a delay necessitating my survival
Recap all hopeful wishes
Evoke undying patience species
Nest and destroy negative feelings
Trust when the seed says is fleeing.

Knives come thirsty for my blood
Eyes in tears always keep a flood
Episodes full of grief and sorrow
Pray that I see you tomorrow.

While I try to realize my goal
All is destined to benefit you
Immense forces are attack-full
Tremendous effort from me is forceful
Incarnate figures seem to set militia
Nourishing their foul aromatic herb
Gather guts and expect patiently

Drastic changes in economic atmosphere
Applaud a flop on my old plans
Insolent conditions thwart my combined efforts
Lonesome insolvency escort me to their agenda
Yielding failure for me every day!

Art: the Way

Art: The way 

The rhyming words
Clear poetic roads
When words play
Everything binds like clay
Every line helps combat
The unjust that is compact
For the ripe wicked to burst
For the diction is super best

Money used by the indolent
Or those who are insolent?
What about those with talent?
Though poor without mines
Can’t they compel using lines?
Or even inspire using minds?

Art is indeed really painful
Only if the recipient is a fool
Understand the meaning of art
Before the meanings part!
Is it chick?
Or cheek
Don’t take plot
For the other plot
	Not test for taste
	No pest for paste
	No chest for chaste
	No get for gate
	No last for lust

If  you decide to quote
Don’t be forced to coat
Or you end up in court!
The words are one part
Don’t let them apart!

The Convolution

On the eve of 25 December
We expected joy, gifts,
But rivulets of blood and tears;
Gushed over the land.
When Vodka surrogates the lamb;
All in the game are futile
The day is rendered no specialty
Given that the real day is latent
It’s vile to rule the sanctified day;
As archaic or discriminatory:
For the wicked ideology to maneuver
Derailing even the chosen
Carried away by the folklore
Working against Holy Spirit – on the day.
The carnal mind
Powered by the serpent
Implements a Law free strategy;
Where people of their own interests
Succumb to the second and final death!

Thy Food

Morning you just blush at eye clash
You think about last day's bash

Before another love hangover
Obey what the feelings handover
Do you think I can't cross over
Yet I took after Oliver?

Feast you on me for thy fortitude
Or you won't, more in magnitude
R.I.P, I dedicate to their dire attitude.

Yearn for some more food
Omitting what they feel is good
Unmask covered festive mood

Missed by you is only my past
Yield all the present core and crust

Belittle their acts of doom
Announce your charming Prince to groom
By denouncing rife acts of doom
Erase wishes of occupying in us a room

Light on me
Act for me
Speak for me
Sleep for me!

After I Leave

If I depart now
Never you forsake me
We come long, going short
Forget today it's past
Recall yesterday to see tomorrow

My time is precious always
Even out of your sight
Demise devours me and bones perish,
But your heart ceases not, knowing
So every single understands
Love exists to eternity.

Please after my life don't panic
Take my words from thy safe
Why in your memories I can't vanish?
Let my words stay eternally and vanquish
My presence shines through life
Not like the plant of wreath
Erected on the roof of my new house
Sharing same fate as I
You shall not fade in trust
See me decades later

Superstar

Had it been for the rolling ball
Elegantly you would slot with no shortfall
Artistically you play with hearts
Reaping a bumper to fill your huts
Teaming up for other minds; hurts.

Playing for thy lust wound to stitch,
Isolate everlasting harm on the pitch
Eschew a hit from the gun
Rather than chewing the lethal gum,
Castigate their state of illusion
Igniting flashing lights of vision
Nurture living minds to be broad
Gather them till they see the road.

Prick thyself on skin
Leave and do to a pumpkin
Agitate if you feel the pain
Yet to me you leave infatuation stain.
Emancipate self from storms of mischief
Re-embark on strategies to combat grief

I Wanna Love You

I wanna love you in summer
when everything is hot
when the rain has poured
when the fields are damp
when the blend of flower colours convolutes
when their scent blends pleasantly in my nostrils
when the sky is always overcast with clouds
yielding its tears to the earth
with tree canopies protecting the ground
from the scorching rays of the sun

I wanna love you in winter
When everything is cool
When the morning breeze cools tree tops,
When skies are clear
When stars give direction to the sailor
When nights are long to endure our delight

I wanna love you in spring
when it' clear between branches
when leaves are brown
when the tree tops are clear
when gusty winds blow away all repellent
leaving the ground clear
I want the fruit of your mouth
The physical that doesn't perish
The emotional that doesn't expire!

The Invasion

When the force invades
it sows off passion
it jeopardizes
it delivers entirely new
it jeopardizes
it creates entirely new

on the other side of good
let my heart play host
to a force so strong
coming as pure air when invited
cursed as a whirlwind when escaping
we know the way it treats
with tutor being ego
experience is self bred

with the force's tour
none emerges the best
my heart aspires to be right
your mind clings together
we masticate in two
how can amylase fail?
