Uthando
Zanele Hlophe 1998 (Durban)
Uthando
Ngingabhala izincwadi ngawe.
Ngingabhala izinkondlo ngawe.
Ngizame ukukubonisa uthando engnalo.
Ngivule yonke inhliziyo yami
Ukuze kubuse elakho igama.
Akekho omunye engimthandayo.
Akekho omunye engimuzwa njengawe.
Isiqu sami sithanda wena k'phela.
Olwakho uthando alusoze lashabalala.
Yebo! Ngiwenzile amaphutha.
Akekho umuntu ongenasici.
Kepha izici zethu zahlukene.
Inqobo uthando melikhona.
Uthando lwakho angeke lalinganiswa.
Lijubalele njengo lwandle.
Lubanzi lujulile.
Futhi akekho oyolisusa.
Ngithanda ukumamatheka kwakho.
Ngithanda indlela ohamba ngayo.
Ngithanda konke okwenziwa wuwe.
Konke okuthandayo kuligugu kimi.
Uthando luyajabulisa.
Uthando luyisbusiso esivela kumdali.
Leso sbusiso ngisitholile kuwe.
Ngizosiphatha okweskhali zamantungwa.
Z.T Hlophe
