He has Done it(RIP Senzo)

He has done it, lived life abundant Meyiwa has not fallen, such talent He has done it, remember that comment Sprung with shooting star brilliance, a comet Snatched victory from jaws of defeat Said a sports anchor but these words won't befit Meyiwa has not fallen, he rose against all odds Stood the last defense line until there was none left but the gods He has done it   Lead a triumphant life out of skeletons of the dead Fired up the squadron to sail turbulent currents, a true sea conqueror's head Captain of a ship that carries hopes of sowetans and mzansi multitudes Defended nation's dignity with his spirit and a never say die attitude Senzo meyiwa, deeds never fall Soul stands tall and keep heaven's gates open So unfair yet we do not despair, we look to you to mend heart's broken Your life will not be in vain As we go through this pain you inspire a purpose to find healing again Rest in peace Senzo Meyiwa (24/09/1987 - 26/10/2014)

Divine spark(Nokukhanya)



I see stars glitter all the time.
In broad day light or in the dark.
I feel sparks shoot up everywhere.
You are on my mind, you are in my heart.

The light is not only with you, you are the light.
Divine fire. You shine. You blaze. You ignite.
You are passion personified.

I am overwhelmed to claim you mine.
God is still within you.
I do all to guard that innocence.
let nothing take your charisma away.
The world can be ugly, full of pits that
seek to deem your light.
For your life, you will have to fight.

My heart pours out a golden syrup of love for you.
I love how you love me. My past has been shady.
Your light shines a bright fore view.

You taught me how to pray.
Ordered me to be careful of words I say.
You demand attention from me.
You awakened the emotional human connection within me.

As little as you are, its only with your presence
that I am beginning to understand the woman nature.
Only now, as old as I am, I'm learning to accept
virtues that humans nurture.

You make me happy. You make me laugh.
And you know it. Silly little you.
Our moments are always special.
Spinal thrills surge up to my head,
I get illuminated when you stare me
with your bright eyes.
I see life in its fullness.

When you call for me I swear I hear God
assuring me. I am proud.
Your voice is rich with abundant life.
It comes from a powerful place.
Where your name comes from.
Never lose connection with that.
Its your center. Your anchor. Character.
Confidence.

Your brother made me a man.
I now understand.
I was incomplete.
You are the nexus that forms a union
of my heart and my mind.
My number one girl, I place none above you.
Nokukhanya Masilela, I Love you.
