Nhliziyo’ngiyise

This poem is about an angelic gal that a boy meets and cannot explain what he sees, he tries to get her sister to help him cope with the love burning inside and he is all cheesy about the situation.

Ngiyathatha ngiyabeka,

Letafula lothando ngizolideka dadeweth’awungeseka.

Ngisabathe ngiyabheka kumnyameb’sweni benkawu.

Awu! Kwavele kwakodw’okwangenza ngabonuk’khanya ngazi nendlel’eya ekhaya.

Kwenz’inhhliziyo yami yavuth’umlilo kwaphel’isililo.

Yaguquk’eyam ‘impilo yab’enhle. Nhliziyo ngiyise nansi'ntombi enhle  ungibuyise.

Uyise uyongixolela ngizomlobolela, ngaphandle kwemvume phela ngiyazithandela.

Mina no nawe sizozi shadela, nina lilizela. Nangumkhwenyan’esezongena.

Awazi wena bath’thindlela ibuzwa kwabaphambili,

Kodwa masisobabil’iyozikhanyela futh’iyoziqaqela

Ngaphandle kwesiban’uthando luyosikhanyisela ngyak’tshela.

 

Mehlo am’ubonani? S'thandwa sam’umuhle nesphongo sakh’esikhulu.

Pho sisalindeni mina nawe sokwakh’umndeni phela min'angilal’endleleni.

Ndlebezam’uzwani?Ntombi Bayakubabaza ngempel’uyamangaza.

Uthando luyang’khathaza, enginalo ngawe lungigwaza.

Amanxeb’angelapheki,kodw'avel’ashabalale mangibona wena.

Usumoyizela, isilevusakho sihlukane kabili, amehlo akho ngath’uzolala s’thandwa uyangibulala.

Ungenza ngihlek’ubala. Cha uthando ludala.Uvele ungichaze umusuthi dali.

Sthandwa, mamela dedel’imizwa izikhulumela. Izwa, wenza inhhliziyo.

Yam’ishaye ngamandla izig’ezidabula yonk’imiqabang’emibi.

 

Ngith’umangihleli ngiqabanga,kuvele kuthi.

Nhliziyo ngiyise nansi'ntmbenhle ungibuyise.

Ngempela uyis’uzongixolela ngizomlobolela ngaphandle kwemvume phela ngiyazithandela.

Mina nawe dali sizozishadela, nina lilizela nangu’makot’ezongena.

Uthando luyisibusiso kodwa namhlanje njenge zono lungihlasele. Mina ke ngingu Sibusiso.

le ntombi ngiyaz’thandela.

I like the poetry is in the original language and English. Give the reader the vision of where the poetry is coming from. I believe if someone would read this poem on a verbal site and English. You would create great interest.
