The Moon by Mgcini Nyoni


Some say they
see an old woman carrying firewood
when they look at the moon
Some see a naughty rabbit.
When I look at the moon
I see you
Sometimes holding my heart
in your left hand
and laughing.
Sometimes
I see your perfect smile
and a dark rain cloud
happens to pass by
and I can’t see you.
Sometimes you are just
a tiny little crescent 
and I can barely see you
Sometimes the sky
is blue and pleasant
but the moon is not there
and I cannot see you.
Some see a naughty rabbit
Some see an old woman
But I see you
In the moon

He Is Here And I'm Not With Him by Mgcini Nyoni

He misses her
the love of his life
But he is here
and I am not with him
How could he be
When his heart
aches for her
She is away
But with him
In his thoughts
and in his heart
It’s me he married
For the baby he did it
honourable man
I think of letting him go
free him
Let him fly to his soul mate
But then
A slice of a great man
Is better
than a loaf
of an average man
This is the burden
I will always carry
Knowing
He will always be here
But I will never be with him.
