Poem by LLM Mbatha
Kuyangithokozisa

Kuyangithokozisa
Ukukhuluma nawe
Ngisho noma – even though
Izintaba zingisithele- the mountains are hiding(shading)
Ngicabanga ukumamatheka kwakho – i am thinking of your smile
Ngigcine sengihleha ngedwa – i end up laughing by myself
Lapho ngisalele – while am sleeping
Sengiziphaphama – suddenly wake up
Ngiphupha kanjena – dreaming
Ngikuzwe usho – hear you
Ungitshela ukuthi – telling me
Kuyafana nje – it’s the same
Nalapho kewe- with you there
Enhliziyweni yakho- in your heart
Uku phaphama, uku phupha- waking up, dreaming
Uku thandana kewthu- about our love
