Praise the Lord Jesus Christ

Mbalenhle

Persistently in my heart

is where you will be.

Nobody else will enter

because you have the only key.

Without you

I am not complete

because you are

my heart and soul.

I promise to be your power

 whenever you fall weak

 I promise to be your voice

when you can't find the words.

You brought me sunlight

when I only saw rain.

You brought me happiness

 when I only felt soreness.

You're the smile on my face,

the sparkle in my eye.

 the warmness inside my heart,

 and the fullness in my life.

You are my coverlet

that keeps me warm.

 You are my canopy

that shields the hurricane.

Dissapointment

Disappointed

All my life broke up, like some great river's ice at touch of spring.

The world lay stretched before me like the open palm of my hand.

Alone, like a storm-tossed wreck, on this night of the glad New Year.

An anxiety hung like a dark impenetrable cloud on me.

An envious wind crept by like an unwelcome thought.

Dissatisfaction had settled on my mind like a shadow

My thoughts are buzzing like a swarm of bees

And my mind is like a lonely wild.

Life stretched before me alluring

And various as the open road.

Loneliness struck me like a blow as

I sit there motionless as a plumb line.

My thoughts ran leaping through

The green ways of my mind like fawns at play,

 And every nerve in my body seemed like

A strained harp-string ready to snap at a touch.

My memory and emotion surged in my...

Africa

The land of Baobab and Acacia sassa trees

The proud land of our forefathers.
The home of the fastest animal on earth - Cheetah

The oldest inhabited territory on Earth,

Who handed treasure of wisdom down to us

The most-populous landmass.

The place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade.

The land of the the most abundant antelope, the impala

The land of sunshine and bird songs
Cut almost equally in two by the Equator

It straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas

Hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages

Africa's has landscapes of many changes.
With beaches, rain forests, islands and dunes,
its climate keeps you guessing all afternoon

Contains an enormous wealth of mineral resource and

largest numbers of megafauna’s species

From her Warthog to her Giraffe,
from h...

Windhoek,2000

Nabucodonosor! thou shouldst be living at this epoch:

Namibia hath desire of thee: she is a quagmire

Of quiet rainwaters: slab, blade, and cage,

Inglenook, the courageous fortune of manor and retreat,

Have sacrificed their primeval culture talent.

But those who came before us will teach us.

They will teach us from the wisdom of former generations.

When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago.

But looking back we do not find what we left behind.

Scars have the strange power to remind us that our past is real

Unfortunately, the clock is ticking, the hours are going by

ntil all our emphasis befits
The creatures we used to be,
The gaffes we made in our lifetime.
Oh, if only we could see

What we are now that we were then?

May memory restore again and again

The tiniest tint of the minutest era:

My First Love

My first love was alluring yet painful,

Every time I go back to those reminiscences,

my heart is crying like a tired child for one fond look,

and I feel like I could have done so much better.

It was a Saturday when I first saw her,

her skin was like honey – sweet and fragrant,

made my heart skip a beat

for I had never seen anything so breathtaking.

Her skin was a russet color

and Her hair was midnight-black,

 flowed over her shoulders..

That first moment when we saw each other

is inscribed in my cranium.

I can still hear my heart throbbing noisily in my chest,

as her eyes landed on me in my ‎indlu.

Her eyes were a light hazel,

they were lovely eyes,

 full of life,

and capable of expressing love.

When you are around happines...

Haunted House

Fragments of plaster lie damp over a long untrodden floor,

their only purpose to soak in the seasonal rain.

Cold water seeps through window frames,

rotten and blistered,

to nurse the mildew and rise up wallpapers that peel.

The cupboards are a time-warp of long forgotten brands

that barely live on even in the memories of the elderly.

All around are the artifacts of a life lived and hastily abandoned,

mattresses, dolls, sepia photographs...

At midnight,

There seemed to be a heavy atmosphere hanging around me.

The darkness was oppressive,

and there was a strange soft whining noise coming from upstairs.

I heard a loud thump upstairs.

Then it sounded like someone moaning

Soon there was clatter all about—dull thuds,

a few bangs, followed by the sound of someone walking around on the second floor.

 I remained frozen in my bed...

Samuel Daniel Shafiishuna Nujoma

the black struggle in Namibia,

a brave anti-colonial freedom fighter.

Who touched the hearts,

and minds of millions across Africa

 and the world with his powerful objectives.

Led his country into peace,

national reconciliation and economic rise.

Establishing harmony among the

conflicting religions and political elements.

His footprints are still blueprint for us to follow.

A legend, warrior and symbol of freedom,

cherished the ideal of a democratic

 and free society in which all persons live together

 in harmony and with equal opportunities.

He lived to give us

a better platform to speak

about our oppression

as well as our victories.

Who resistance against racism,

helped Namibians to realise their dream.

The Life Without You

The life without you
is like a tree without flowers,
the moon without the stars,

a kiss without lips,

long wandering love,

 the weary heart may faint for rest,

and a body without soul...

The life without you

is like a drifting foam of a restless sea

 when the waves show their teeth

 in the flying breeze,

and wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

The life without you
is like village curs that bark when their fellows do,
a shadow of a great hill,

that reaches far out over the plain,
and the setting of a tropical sun.

The life without you
is like a sea-worm,

that perforates the shell of the mussel,

 which straightway closes the wound with a pearl,
and rainbow, thou didst fade.

The life without you

Is lik...

Life is a journey

Life is a journey filled with teachings,

Adversities, sorrows, ecstasies, festivities

and distinctive moments

that will ultimately lead us to our terminus,

our persistence in life.

The boulevard will not always be straight;

in fact, throughout our voyages,

we will meet many encounters.

Some of these encounters will

quiz our nerves, powers, weaknesses, and reliance.

Along the way,

we may blunder upon hindrances

that will come between the footpaths

that we are ordained to take.

In order to trail the veracious tracks,

we must overawed these complications.

Occasionally these problems

are really consecrations in camouflage,

only we don't recognize that at the time.

Along our journey

 we will be challenged with many circumstances,...

A Lovely Dream

I first met her on a holiday at Shuklaphanta Wildlife Reserve.

 Love strikes me like lightning when I saw her,

so powerful and intense it can’t be denied.

It turns me inside out,

and there was no going back from it.

Once the thunderbolt hits, my life irrevocably changed.

With a carved stem-thin figure,

And sparkly appearance.

Her pencil-thin eyebrows,

 eased down gently to her velvety,

Eyelashes.

Her beauty is the celebrity's cute wind-swept

 twisting through

 the late evening's darkening heavens.

Her smile shines stunningly

like the sun rising over the skyline,

 her luminous, heavenly-white teeth flashed

as she pawed at me with her flick star nails.

Her gorgeousness is the stars

that is now quivering into view

as their star shine ends its life journey
