PENI NEPHEPHA
Peni nephepha ngsize nglobe lenkondlo yalothand’ olungapheli
ngaziyala ngalale’ amazwakhe
mhla ezibika kumina
ethi
Ndlovukazi,mbalenhle eqhakaz’ ehlobo,ngcel’ ungnik’ inhliziyo yakho.
Naw’ uyazike labafana bese bengcenga bavele badabukise bafune ngish’ ukukhala beskhand’ izlima
Kodwake mina ngamcabangela ayencenga
ngamnik’ eyam’ inhliziyi
wath’ uzongphathakahle
njal’ uma sindawonye sxoxa ngeksasa lethu,
sakhohlw’ ukuthi iksasa alifiki ngoba ksasa iksasa
kepha ker iksasa let’ alfikanga
waqala wangdida……
wadidw’ o-Asanda no Sindi
Phela bona bayashesha
mawbabuka bayashalaza
Babhala phansi ngobhoz’ umabeshelwa….
kuhle kwentombi zakdal’ ezazithi
uma ziqoma ziknike ucu
kodw’ ezamanje ziknika inumber
zyashesha
Minake bamthathile abasheshayo
kthiw’ indod’ ikhishw’ emntwini
Unenhlanhla wen’ owafika kngekho
MUNTU
Empelen’ ukwanda kwaliwa umthakathi, ngoba nomakhelwane
bebesbheke ngeso lokhozi

Kodw’ olwam’ uthand’ alpheli
ngish’ iPeni nePhepha lyazi ngoba
nghlala ngloba ngalothando lwami OLUNGAPHELI

KAZI KWAKHALA NYONINI
kazi kwakhala nyonini
klonhlab’ esphila kuwo
inzalabant’ isaphenduk’ izgqila zocansi klaba beslisa
obab’ abadal’ ebesbabiza ngabazali
kodwa manje sesbabiza ngo
Suger dady ….. NgamaBlesser
Amablesser wona law’ azolahlekisa
iksasa lengan’ ezkhungathekile
aysuk’ amahlon’ igam’ elnhasebenzi klama blesser
Hayi mina lomhlaba ngyawesaba ngyawesabalalisa
usudida ngish’ abant’ ababephil’ endulo
okukhombisa kona sesphul’ eskhathini sokugcina
Sizalwa sihlakaniphile kuhle kokhozi
kodwa masfika klomhlab’ ohlabayo
sifike sishintshe ….. Sishintshele ngisho abazali abasizalayo
Angithi phela Sididwa abafana abagaxile
abathi umabefake amabhulukwe
sibone ama underwears ……
they think they think they are charming.
kosi bathethelele abakwaz’ abakwenzayo
Ngikhathele kuleku kthiwa abafana badlala ngamantombazane
Amantombazane iwona aziphosa ebafaneni ekubeni abazali beyala
bekhuza
bekhuzwa bengezwa
angithi ezamanje beziyalwa zivele ziktshel’ ukuthi zazingekho
ebusheni bakho
zkhohlwa inteyodwa
