    Creation

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    I, myself am created, therefore, am part of creation.
    I, myself am a creature, with the willpower to create.
    Creating things unseen like oxygen
    Evolving with evolution.
    My creation will take you to the future, present, past.
    Wise from wisdom
    Bear ideology create revolution.
    From circumstance to situation to solution
    It all leads back to creation.
    The begining of (all) things existing.
    Birth of death, life on (of) earth,
    Death being sacrifices, sacriligious.
    The illusion of choice is created
    The question of destined fate becomes silently dead.
    The death of the physical is the birth of the eternal,
    The death of the eternal is the birth of the physical.
    Infinitly it is spiritual.

    Shadow

    Is it only as black as widow ?

    Can it be white as snow ?

    Lingering, as a question i do not know.

    What i do know, there is an existance called shadow.

    We can see the shadow in all senses,

    Especially the sixth sense.

    Does it have any significance ?

    Does it have purpose ?

    Is its existance coincidence ?

    Can it be exhibited as evidence ?

    Is it there, even when we dont see it in sight of light ?

    Does it always have to be a physical appearance ?

    Can we not have mental shadows, logically lingering

    Can we not have shadows of the soul, emotionally lingering

    Physically , as natural as creation.

    Consciencely, as natural as creation.

    Consciously, as natural as creation.

    Perhaps, reflecting the resemblance of life in other dimmentional realms in dimmentional angles.

    Write-on

    When is it the right time to write?
    When the timing is right ?
    When the moment is ripe ?
    When the mood is right?
    Writting wrongs and turning wrongs to right?
    Whatever about ,
    When you feel wronged ?
    When the feelings are not placed right ?
    What then? when that all is left?.
    Like a heart
    Like sanity
    When the crowd has left ?
    No right-hand man
    Take a wrong turn in life 
    Take a write turn in life
    Is it wrong then to write ?
    Is even, wrong or right the basis to write ?
    I am aware one has to learn to write to be able to write.
    However,
    Does one need writting basics through lessons to write right?
    If there is a right way to write.
    And,
    Can one write to touch bases,
    Right at the moment of experience?
    Write about moments of experience?
    Is there even the right time to write?
    OR 
    its just a matter...

    Scribe

    Fertilising manure to mature
    Scribe on scriber

    Ndithetha ngaye

    Ngelizwi lakhe ndiyonela
    Ngoncumo lwakhe ndiyoneliseka
    Ukuhleka kwakhe kuyafudumeza
    Ubuqu bakhe benza ndifune ukusondela
    Ubukho bakhe benza uvalo
    Ngalolonke ixesha unexesha lokusabela
    NguMonde lowo
    Isandla sakhe asikude ukunceda
    BubuNtu obo
    Igama lakhe yayifanele nguThando
    Leyo isentliziyweni
    Engqondweni ungamazi ngobulumko
    Leyo isebuchotsheni
    Ndithetha ngaye, andithethi naye
    Ngokuthetha ngaye bubuncwane
    Yena uyazazela, uyazingca
    Noba uyamazi, ngesidima
    Noba awumazi, ngesithozela
    Ubuhle bukaMdali
    Ubuhle beNdalo
    Ubuhle ngaphakathi nangaphandle
    Ubuhle njengesibhakabhaka nolwandle
    Igamalakhe yayifanele nguNobuhle
    Ndisathetha ngaye
    Ngoba umntu akanconywa esiva

    Musical Ngoma

    Music is not only to amuse
    Not saying to entertain is to abuse
    Music is also to educate
    Music is also to meditate
    At the same time stimulate
    While you accelerate
    Take you to a point of being delicate
    Not to say one would be mute
    However, helps your perspective to remote
    Channel your inner, in a fashionable manner
    When that note hit, its melody
    One cannot help but drum to the beat
    Then beat more hurried your heart
    Emotions within expressed on the out
    Music brings messages about
    Music brings lessons about
    Music as a matter of fact, is more than Art
    One cannot attribute it to one part
    That just tears music apart
    Not saying to entertain is to abuse
    But saying limited only to entertain is to abuse

    Silent loud mis-action of words

    If "action speaks louder than words",
    Then why are you bothering me with communication ?!.
    I know, you may feel communication is mis-represented here, miscommunication.
    But now , we missing the action part of it
    Are we suppossed to be speaking it or acting it ?
    Suppossing, that speaking is actually an action as opposed to silence.
    Then, when does silence actually speak volumes ?!
    Well, given that the truth is actually spoken rather than actually being acted,
    I dont know the relation between truth and feeling.
    The truth is, what really matters is the volumes of the true feeling.
    We can believe what we hear,
    We can believe what we see.
    Truth is knowing,
    Truth is believing.
    Because what we know to believe is conception,
    Conception is reality.

    Inyani eThandweni

    Ndivuka uzingcinga
    Ndilala ndiyakucinga
    Nditsho namaphupha
    Ndiyakuthanda
    Noba awukho secaleni kwam
    Uhlala uhleli nam
    Nditsho nakwi ncoko zam
    Ulubhabho lwam, ulubambo lwam
    Ngaphandle kwakho, intliziyo yam isisighubhu
    Xa ndinawe, intliziyi yam itsho amagubu
    Izandi eziviwa phezulu emazulwini
    Igida kushukume abaphantsi
    UThando lwakho lundonyusa ndiphantsi
    Lamazwi akayonyani, lamazwi angqina inyani
    Inyani luThando, ubungqina luThando lwethu
    InTando yakhe mayenziwe emhlabeni njengoko isenziwa emazulwini
    (Ngoba ebunyanisweni andikwazi ukuyichaza indlela endikuthanda ngayo, abubungqina bendlela endiziva ngayo ).

    UMthetho

    Ngoko lwazi lwam, ngokwe zimvo zam
    Akhomntu uthanda umthetho
    Ngoba womke umntu uziva ngathi akakwazi kuziphatha ngokwakhe, ngathi akana mthetho
    Umntu uziva ngathi uhluthwa amandla akhe
    Kodwa, kwelinye icala
    Umthetho ubalulekile
    Umthetho uthulisa impixano
    Ukhona oyena mthetho ungundoqo
    Umthetho ka Mdali
    Umthetho we Ndalo
    LooMthetho luThando
    UThando lokuthanda abanye
    UThando lokuzithanda
    UThando olunyulu, uThando olunzulu
    UThando luxando lokwenza
    UThando luxando lokwenziwa
    UThando luxando lokwenzana
    Into endiyaziyo kukuba lomthetho sivumelana ngawo sonke
    Intonayo asiwazi sonke
    Umanyano emthethweni woThando yindyebo yobomi naphakade

    Visualisations

    Having certain realisations
    Leading to certain visualisations
    Caught inbetween
    It takes patience
    It takes action
    I wonder
    Are we all heading the same destination
    Life, i imagine
    Is like sailing in the ocean
    Not knowing your location
    But with maps and compases, are certain to persue your direction
    So be certain to encounter waves, tides, sea-storms
    Its all part of the mission
    The lesson
    Its not what its costing
    Its what you gaining
    Hasitation , patience
    Action , timing
    Logic, feeling, emotion
    Listening, observing
    What is this chef life serving
    Sea- food or see- food
    Crab in the bucket effect
    How this captain sailing
    Forward or roundabout
    The ship does not only anchor on arrival
    The sheep do not only graze on pastures
    Is it about the answers or is it about the message
    Hoping for safe passage<...

    Rhyme

    My poetry is not about rhyming
    Poetry is about wording
    When rhyming its all so sounding
    Tickles hearing
    Trigers feeling
    Tips thinking
    Writting or telling
    Its all wording
    Its like wording and feeling wedding

    Afternoons

    Afternoon heat 
    Afternoon breeze
    Inbetween
    Grass and trees
    Sounds of birds
    Sights of rivers
    Feeling of ease
    The kind that frees
    For a moment
    Everything as still freeze
    Sweet like the harness of bees
    No companies
    Whilst between crowds
    No louds
    Yet full of sounds
    Music 
    Off the streams
    While inside theres screams
    Evoking dreams
    And nightmares
    Outside theres peace
    Mind on remenece
    Away from everything in my presence
    Under the summer heat
    Hit by the summer breeze
    Inbetween
    Grass and trees

    Stranger that i know

    We had a present in the past
    Feelings to memories
    Experience
    When she was in the past i knew her
    Memories to tales
    Telling how i remember feeling
    By fate our paths re-alligned
    It was a bit tense
    What a lovely present to be presented with
    We are re-introduced
    Now that we in the present
    She is a stranger that i know
    Having conversations of the future
    I hope to know her
    She is a stranger that i know
    I know not the strange message the universe it telling me
    If only i could find out 
    Growing
    We grew apart
    But that also could not keep us apart
    Now i script down her art
    So if we ever again depart
    She will know in her heart
    She knows me as i know her
    Parallel
    She is a stranger that i know
    She always has a place in my heart that she knows i know
    And i know she knows
    She is a stranger that i kno...

    M (me)
    P (pain)

    M: Pain does hurt more than some times.

    P : Dont blame me, i'm here to help.

    M: Help ?!

    P: No pain, no gain. Remember ?!
    Hey, what dont kill you, makes you stronger.

    M: Do you like, aim for the 'kill' , then settle for hurt ?

    P: Lol. Case in point. There is humour in me.
    You tell , brave stories of honour, through me. Pride.
    What the hell ?! Careers have been established because of me. Psycho-analyse that. And take a chill-pill.

    M: So you take 'pride' from / at what you do to people ?

    P : Wouldnt you ? If you were achieving excelllence in what you were intended for, your mission.
    By the way, people stop thinking you are the center of attention, by that i mean 'universe' .

    M : whats your relation, relativeness (so to speak ), to / with time ? Now that you a...
