TIISETSO THIBA'S NEW POEMS!

TEARS OF JOY 

By TIISETSO M THIBA

Tecolote ranunculus flower' scent

Its smell so sweet like your heady scent

It reminds me of you when you are not around

And I dream of you when my head

Hits the pillow every time I hit the hay

I wonder what lad did to deserve this best

I have thought my budge to divulge my sentiments was a vain

Your yes word made a soldier cry tears of joy

Like a calf in the rain

Is it a taboo for a soldier to cry out the pain?

Your sensitive soft elegant face

Makes me scared to touch you with my gross

Hands and left you with a deep scar

Your personality is so profound and so phenomenon

Solid like ants mind

Body beautiful like a bee one

I see plenty but I see no one match you

What I see from your inner beauty

Beauty outside it’s a complement

I seek your parent’s recipe

Your voice is so sharp like a saw and beat one of bird

You make me obsessed to confess

My inner sentiments that burning my torso

Your beauty is not displaced outside

But derived from within

My tears of joy falls into good hands

Your colour is so cute like peacock and macaws

Your beauty claws, claws deep into closet eyes

And make my heart malfunction

And beat like drums

And gallop like a stallion in race

Your moves hit me with long arm jab

 It’s a tears of joy when I touch this feeling

Your eyes looks like a baby’s one

And your look makes me loose lasting

 Damn my adore

This is romantic nostalgia

And oozes soul in essence

MOTHER’S COFFEE

By TISETSO M THIBA

Morning summer

Morning winter

I miss Mom’s Coffee

The taste was unusual, but special

Sweet Sugar, Strong Coffee, and cream of milk on top of a mug

Made by magic hands

And adorned by cream of profound love of Mom
