Marriage ~ Naadir Vorajee

lend me to your body
feel me in your mind
touch my heart around you
let your soul be mine

feel it in your heaven
make true loves first kiss
know my passion upon you
let ignorance be bliss

see me in Eden
know me by my taste
consummate our love
make not marriage a waste

for inner lusts are gone
and true spirits are here
feel tonight's beauty
love me, my dear.

Three Short Form Poems ~ Malwazi Moholi

*Unknown*

I look at you
Praying to see affection
And affection I don't see
It hurts
To know I don't know
What you feel
Your feelings are unknown
Your glances are familiar, though,
I don't know what to think
So as I slowly walk away
My fingers crossed
For you to stop me
And tell me
You still like me

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Truly Divided*

I am divided
Slowly drifting
Between two loves
My typical annoying class friend
Or my first love who hurt me

Love is tough
The fight hurts
The kisses are sweet
With a sting
But shattering...
Nobody understands

I love him
I like him
I need him
I want him
What to do?

I'd rather be hurt
Than do the hurting

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Forever and Always My BFF*

The sun
Shining down on her
Dancing, Singing and having fun
My bestfriend
Annoyingly, Beautifully
Loved by me and many more
Lisie

Two Poems ~ Malwazi Moholi

*For Me*

If I should die, think only this of me
As leaving a mark
Either a loving
Or a heartbreaking mark
Either an emotional
Or physical mark
Either way I made a mark

I want you to think of me
As the on unique little girl
The on girl who smiled
When everybody else had upside down smiles
Who cried
When everybody laughed
And the other way around
the girl who tried loving
When everyone hated
Who did things her way

Left
When everyone stayed
Even if it meant walking alone

If I should die
I want to be remembered
For me


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*I'm in pain*

I miss you
But
I realize you don't

I don't know what to do
But be myself
I'm in so much pain
But I smile through it all
I see you almost everyday
And think to myself
Wow!
After so many years
I think I'm in love
But you'll never know
Because I'm also in pain
Knowing you don't notice
So I keep quiet
I walk past you
I sit next to you
Acting like everything is okay

I smile
I laugh
But my heart is aching
And its aching for you

Joyful Sorrows ~ Phethile Dhlamini

Your piercing thorns do nothing but heal me

Your razor sharp words used to penetrate through my mind

But now, they simply cushion and cover my thoughts

That were once upon the bed of my sorrows.

Thoughts that left and waved goodbye

Along with the oceans of empty lies

That used to waltz along the shores

Of my happiness...

That same happiness you thought you devoured

Is now regurgitated upon the floors of forgiveness

And now it lies there forever as a joyful mess

Upon my life.

What you thought was a dull coal

Has finally fossilized

Into a precious stone

And yet again I thank you...

Thank you for being selfish and hideous

Because now I have become more

Selfless and beauteous

Simply, because I no longer care.

A Poem About ... ~ Nishka Ramkhelawan

This is a not a love poem
Nor is it about death
This poem is about all the little things
People tend to forget

Like the warmth of sunlight
Or the chirping of birds
And buzzing of bees
But rather we ignore these things
And only choose to fight

This poem is not about a lover
Or someone that I hate

This poem is not about heartbreak
Nor is it about regret

This poem has no subject
Nor does it have a story to tell

It is simply just a poem
