A Love Story by Poet Chie

Her love is like an alchemy
It elevates me to mysterious levels
The whispers at the balcony
Does some inevitable change, thy soul is fed
Its power is so peril
Her smile kills me for it's the unique ilk
I'd even give you the owner to perforate through my thoughts
You'll find only you engraved
I bare no faults and that I'm sure

There are times where my love seems puerile
You just ensure I don't lose morals
There are times where You also feel like dying in my arms
I wonder if you'll cope with the grenades in my lips.
The poetic means of firing
Can prove to be an Arsenal to your heart

Have you ever imagined kisses in the moonlight
The lips so cherry and sweet, tempting me to go for a bite
You've turned my Shining armour in the night
I reminisce the first glance I took at you
It was all like a surreptitious
My heart felt something new
You didn't know you were wearing my favourite color blue
Your smile, fervented my desire
I made it clear I was a secret admirer
A love story began

From the bottom of my heart
I had told myself that you know what;
If this is true
I gotta feel like I'm glued
Feel lost without you
As I gaze through your eyes
I see where my future lies
The saddest part is the goodbyes from every tryst
The love story never ends
Her compassion always tempts me to bend
But the brain, makes the inevitable amends
Even though the charm I have is unabated
Kneeling on one knee and propose
Would be of less importance for she wouldn't oppose

The love story continues
You were the bow I was an arrow
We were Cupid's possessions
He would be jealous, of Us
Obviously filled with obsession
My mission was to love you
I write this with mission accomplished already put
I've never seen such celestial beauty
An Angel without wings but a staggering booty
Every time I smiled
I saw the glow reflected back from her eyes
Content! I got the perspicacious feeling on the go
This is a love story with no chapters
You got to follow it and be peruse

"Let's go for a drink"
She had asked one day
I was shocked, I couldn't blink
Then she suggested a philtre
There we were, there we lay
Filled with gallons
It felt like the love story had galloped
Back to word one
I bowed drunk and gallantly kissed her forehead
In a moment, we disappeared
'You killing me softly with your honesty'
I was amazed, my heart felt some ecstasy
She had ebbed away all miseries
What an echt of a love story this is

You are the apple of my eye
That has it's tree in the root of my heart
Sexy, I watch you walk
You like sea waves down pathways
You feel the magnetism from my eyes
Turn and wave again goodbye
Fatuous but nice
I stroll back until I see you no more
The love we have is pure
It insults jealous Dave

The stars sometimes become envious
To our always sweet night te^te-a`-te^te
I don't know whether to be surprised or mesmerized
For with words you a phat, and that I've realized
Days and months have passed
Never have our love died or failed
I might have fell
Her trip was too good to be ignored
Haters will be amazed we are still well
Their hateful hurt hearts will lead them to hell
For this love story
Has no ending

Rape Poem by Nomcebo Khumalo

Ngamemeta, Ngakhala, Ngacandvula
Ngate Ngaphelelwa ngemandla.
Ngalwa ngadlubulundzela ngachwishita,
Ngagcina ngibancenga nekubancenga
Kepha bakhetsa kungangiva.
Ngikinatelwe tandlakati taboGoliyadi,
Batse hlizi! etulu bansindza njengemadvwala ekwali,
Ngemandla nangenkhani ngangcunulwa,
Baphisela ngemigcala, bemba bahhobhota,
Ligugu lemfihlako, lelingazange selitsintfwe sandla semfokati.

Bangena baphuma.
Baphula emahlahla esibaya sababe
Bafohlo, umyango bawubona kutsi muncane
Sinyatselo nesinyatsela ngeva ematsambo afohloko
Tinyama tifinyela
Imisipha idzabuka,
Emalunga achuma, enyela.
Yachitseka ingati,
Yagombota ngemphophomo,
Yakha sitiba sentondvo yemlisa.

Batsatsisana ematfuba,
Kusemdlalweni kuyadlawa,
kudlalwa ngebomi bami,
Butfombi bami,
Ligugu lami,
Leligugu belikadze kuligcabho lami.
Kudlalwa ngebuntfu bami,
Lobu bebukadze buphelelisa bungimi bami,
Kudlawa ngeligugu lami.
Leli lebengitsi nangihamba ngibeka,
Lunyawo emva kwelunyawo,
Ngibeve boZikodze bacotfota emsamo,
Batishaye baticedze,
Basho ngenhlitiyo labanemehlo,
Batsi uyatsaba uLaNkhosi.
Kepha ngalelo langa letehlakalo,
Lelo langa ngigiliswa imikhuba,
Phansi kwemazulu, Lomdzala abukile,
Ngakubona konkhe kumbonywa lifu lesangcotfo,
Konkhe kushabalala, kusitsela ebumnyameni.

Bayihamba lendlela boFeleba,
Emahora agabanca,
Bemba ngetinhlindzi temapiki netimbo,
Buhlungu bugadla kume kujula,
Ngumtfwana wemfati njalo nje lo!
Lona lowentiwa umfati sikhatsi sisenombonombo.
Yajika inyama yatsamba, yavutfwa
Umtimba waba dzimudzimu,
Kwalala insidze,
Emehlo agcina asindwa tinkhophe,
Konkhe lokusedvute kwaba titfunti.
Ingcondvo yazula,
Umcondvo wanyamalala.
Wabuya, ngatikhandza ngidzakateke echibini.
Lichibi lengati,
Lichibi lebumnyama,
Lichibi lemaphumo nemphilo lelahlekile.
Lichibi letinyembeti letigelete tangesulwa ngumuntfu.
Ngazama kucacabuka,
Kepha lukhalo lwangesindza,
Tigameko netigigiba tangemuva,
Tadlala bayisikobho.

Sililo sacalela phansi ngisikhihla,
Sate saphetfwa sibibitfwane.
Namuhla ngititfuma ngitikhulule ngeliphayiphayi,
Kutsi ngake ngakhona kutihambela kuyinsimu,
Insimu lecocwa kugelete emabhudlo etinyembeti,
Lusizi luhalalisele ngetigubhu.
Ingani naboMenti batinhloko emakhaya abo
Tivumelwano ejele takhiwa bakhululwa.
Kepha bese kutsiwa umtsetfo wekuvikela bantfu!

Amagugu Ayosala Emathuneni by Poet Chie

Aw utsi utfole ligugu lenhlitiyo kani utigwaze ngesakho
Utsi utfole lutsandvo kani utfole umdlalo
Kufe kuphuke inhlitiyo
Lapho soya ekufeni
Lawo magugu asayo sala emathuneni

Kani kutsandza umuntfu yini
Kutelengisa mabomu emgibeni noma emgedzeni
Namuhla sekwaba kufakana embhedzeni
Lufa lwenhlitiyo lengkoni lutfo sikhumbuto
Ngabe sekfike bo Skhumbuzo?
Bayokupheketela emathuneni
Inhlitiyo seyfile ingcwatjwa esfubeni
Akusenama gugu sekasele impeleni
Bahlabele batsi amagugu alelive ayosala emathuneni
Ngisho kutsi kunjalo newenhlitiyo yam alapho emadlizeni

Love knows no boundaries
It also comes with miseries
Lutsandvo lolungena mkhawulo cha
Umnike
Umuntfu yena adlale Gcum Gca
Indlela yekuzuba ifane neyemakululu
Akasabambeki
Akasaceleki
Akasancengeki
Magugu enhlitiyo yam
Ayosala emathuneni esfubeni sami

Wangtjela kutsi siyofa slahlane
Washeshe wangbulala enhlitiyweni
Wangisacata
Kwase kuba kwehlukana
Bengingacabanganga
Kutsi kufa bosho lokwekbulala inhlitiyo
Angfisi nekukhumbula lemphilo
Beyimnandzi, kani wena bobhizi uydzabula ngematinyo
Nekutikhunga akusiwo mos namtfoba nhlitiyo
Ungadlali nangetinyembeti
Kutocima tinkhanyeti nenyeti
Timangala kuphukutwa tibukile
Tingshaya nge lullaby
"Amagugu alentfombi ayosala emathuneni"
Tiphindza phindze
Ngve ngatsi ngabe tiya bindza bindza
Aw impela akusenani
Emagugu sekayosala emathuneni

Lembali lebeymile engadzeni yenhlitiyo
Igucuke yaba nemanyeva yabuna
Yenta matsandza kwaba ngiyo ngiyo
Emanyeva ahlaba lakafuna khona
Lamanye ate aphukela
Yehla ingati yaba tinyembeti
Yafiphana inhlitiyo yaba njengelphepha lentelezi
Yopha kopha lokugcawlisa tindziwo
Yase iyathula
Kancane kancane
Lavuka liphimbo
Laba lincane
Kwaba ngatsi lentfombatanyana
"Lamagugu alelive ayosala emathuneni"
Lwafa lutsandvo!
