Farewells ~ Zinhle Ndlovu

Farewells Never Existed Yet Goodbyes Are Persisted


I was thinking of true inspiration but then you came to mind. I have a few memories but i don't know where to start.

Do you remember the first day you looked me in the eye and told me i shouldn't hide my gift...well I'm remembering the little times we spent together and i just want to say :

"Farewells never existed yet goodbyes are still persisted"

We'll be so distant as if you were in pluto and i was in plant earth, yet i know destiny is not my enemy ever since i was told that everything happens for a reason. At first i feel my words were jailed but then you freed me.

This is not farewell, we'll stay well, please go out there and excell maybe we'll move together emotionally and the eyes may lose sight but the love will never be torn apart as farewells never existed.



A Mother's Love


"Never give up my child.
Do your best and don't forget to smile."

Sometimes we go wild but our parents are prepared to walk the mile. A mother is a woman, a woman is love and love is a mother of happiness. The guilt is in your heart and mind as soon as you realize that a mother's imagination of losing you is scary.

I utter truth and expose gratitude while my mom is my utmost atitude, for the words i speak travel continuously beyond glorious lands and I feel my mother's warm embrace as it never ends.

The guilt is remembering all the wrong I've done to make her sad and sometimes really mad...No words can express how i feel because she gives me love in a gesture of a simple day meal.

My mother's love is beyond the atmosphere she is a shining amour with a spear to destroy fear when it comes near. Her voices is a melody of motivation so meaningful that when she calls my name i truly realize that we are beautiful 'Zinhle'. Her words make more sense to me now than they did yesterday.

"Never give up my child.
Do your best and don't forget to smile."

Meleza Jali ~ Will You Wait

Every day I sit and wonder
Are you there?
Can you hear me?
I think about the unspoken words
Feelings not expressed

I ask for courage
To accept the things I can’t change
I ask for wisdom
To change the things I can

Every day I sit and wonder
Are you happy?
Are you proud?

Even though it is one day
Further since the last time I saw you
It is one day closer
To the next time I will

But now I know
You are there, you can hear me
You are happy, you are proud
Wait for me, as I wait for you
Now and forever

Dillin Clarke ~ Thank You, God

For sending me such a wonderful
person to my lonely way
A person that tells me ' I LOVE YOU '
everyday
Such a truthful person that could
never betray!
Will it be enough to thank you God
For this gift everyday whenever I
pray?

Thank you God
For sending me the sweetest girl
That makes me always feel so happy..
always feel so high
That tells me so many love words
that can make me fly
A person that I really trust
And know will never let me down or
say goodbye!

Thank you God.. It is never enough to
thank you
till forever.. to thank you till I die

Thank you God
For sending me this treasure
It is not silver.. It is not gold
It is not the way I get things
measured
It is just being with the person I love
this is my endless pleasure

Thank you God
For sending me my perfect match
that came to open my heart
And break it's ancient locked latch

Thank you God
For sending me someone so very real
Someone that treats me so right
that knows how to deal
I've always dreamed of someone
caring

For my deep wounds to tenderly heal
How could I thank you God? !
How could I prove that I'm so very
grateful?

For giving me such a lovely person
that made all my life so beautiful
That lovely person that I appreciate
Is YOU.. my love

Thank you for being there
Thank you God for making her there
I know ' Thank You ' is just two small
words to say

That doesn't seam to be enough
But it holds so many meanings
so many hidden feelings

I love you
I really do

Shweta Singh ~ Two Poems

The Wintery Wizard 

He visits us around April, May
It’s very true to say
His face is white snow
His hands and limbs are thin bare branches

He cast his icicle wands
In hope to freeze a million ponds
She showers the ground with soft candy floss snow
And that’s the Wintery Wizard I know

The Time Has Arrived

The time has arrived
Crystal blue waters
today is sunny
Come to the beach buddy
We’ll take a selfie
Just you and me

The time has arrived
The sunset has awakened us
This anticipation
Calls for a celebration

Play on the music
Drink the bottle to the last
We gonna have a blast

Your love…that’s all I need, bae

There be you and me
At the sea side, the sound of water
Take me into your arms, what you’re waiting for
Then to a lovely yacht
And we’ll be drunk after as few Malibu shots

The time has come
The night is colorful
Let’s make it meaningful

Amina Moola ~ Madiba, Our Father

Thank you for gifting us with freedom,
Our country no longer needs to suffer with racism.

All the battles you fought,
All the justice you brought.

Our gratitude cannot comprehend,
The hardships you faced till the end.
You’ve put our lives on the mend.

To live our lives with no fear,
No need to even shed a tear.

The happiness you brought,
The unjust apartheid that you fought!

To live our lives without suffering,
Because you did,
Gave us hope for a better and brighter future.
 A lesson you taught,
could never be forgotten.

Our national hero says, "Never, never and never again
shall it be that this beautiful land will again
experience the oppression of one by another."
We will strive towards that, Madiba, our father.

Umtata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela!
Live on forever …
