Prickly little things
Ranting for the world to come hither, but...
You wear your heart on your sleeve all whilsts...
Of sympathy - yet your shriek echos in...
Let me be myself,
Wild and unattached...
A dry scratching at the back of the throat
Each swallow harder than the last...
And a man once said to a woman:
make me your love...
By Bhekumuzi Mdakane
The human life left in a gold fish memory...
The shopping mall
was still quite empty...
I was born from love
And raised with hate...
Lipstick smiles and non-existent hats:
pride rises like steam from temperamental heads...
God's Recipe' for love
A warm smile in the morning, a gentle kiss before...
They told me that I couldn't walk around mad
And in my mind I said yea right...
I came here lost and all alone
I didn't know if I still had a home...
