Yoyama Magwashu Poems

I was a burden to you before I saw,
Nine months down the line you've ripped what you sow and you've let me grow
You were so patient with me even though I was hard to raise
You're were like garden boy cause you've cutted all the toxic plants that were about grow in me
...

3rd season of the year.
The birds are singing a sweet harmony,
With a chant that attracts living ears.
Admiring the bloom of the trees while feeling morning's air.
...

It's hard to find me going to bed with dry, clear eyes,
It's always red eyes covered with warm salty water.
My pillows always give me a shoulder to lean on,
They are not judging me even though when I get up in the morning I left them dirty and wet.
...

Dear Somgaga.
I don't know what you're going through but you need to hear this:
If you held up 11 buttercups in front of the mirror, you'd be looking at 12 of the most beautiful things in the world.
Matter of fact when you appear on the screen, your confidence brightens up my day.
...

I never saw such beauty in my life:
A small dark chocolate beauty,
Brownish eyes with cute lips with no lipstick on.
Her voice is now my favorite sound that I would love to listen to every minute cause it's soft.
...

Let me make my vows:
They say Disneyland is the direct source of happiness,
but in my case, it has always been you. 
I used to not believe in God until he gave me you.
...

Hey. Let me speak,
I wish I were a love poet so I could dedicate every love poem to you, but now that you know I am not, I have to dedicate my whole heart and love to you.
They say beauty and brains does not match, I guess they haven't met you yet.
You're one of the smartest and prettiest human being on Earth.
...

Zezovuyo iinyembezi endinazo
zona zithatha ixesha ukuba ziyeke
ziyeka sele ndibengezela ndililanga
lona likhanya kude kudede ubumnyama.
...

Do wipe the sky once I leave,
Because I will be destined for peace.
Continue with life, please don't cry and please don't grief.
It's over, so please smile.
...

It was a hot Monday
and the sun was glowing like it got something to say.
At school I was so happy without having a fear of losing something,
it was a day I knew everything in my Matric journey and I felt like I'm Steve Harvey (my genius) .
