If Wishes...

Why do
wishes have wings they fly?
You
know, I wish time had legs; for I’d crawl in silent times,
And I
wish time could prevail for us to sail away in oceans deeper;
See, in
deepest oceans of thought without seen,
For I'd
hide in cages of thought like a silent child…
I wish nations
could become one, for the Creator is one in us all;
But
dozens in isolated land of their kind,
I wish
God was a child;
For I'd
learn to lean on shoulders of tallest trees between the wild,
And
urge in bridges of theological means without religion...
I wish
I was a mirror, and if wishes were mirrors;
I wish
mirrors could reflect our tracks in days of our lives,
As
wishes have wishes;
I wish
shadows had voices…
Too;
for I’d talk in shadows like songs of a dreamer,
And
voice out loudly the hidden crumbles of our daily bread thicker;
But I
fumble to mumble the hidden struggles deeper,
I wish
letters could begin with matters of the heart deeper;
But I
wonder what the Creator of such letters wondered…
When
letters do not really make any sense besides a sentence,
I wish
I was a student of metaphysical times,
I wish
I had known their cynical minds;
Of
Science and Philosophical kinds…
But I
really wish I had dreams to be told to ears of the blind,
I wish
I had hands of a liberator;
For I'd
raise my arms in skies of darkest shine…
I wish
I was a teacher, for I'd teach in chronological kind;
Than
ethnological lapse, I wish I was a preacher,
For I'd
preach in pieces than pictures of preachers;
In
windows of every moving piece(s),
I'd pick
up the pieces of every broken heart;
Than
swallow their pride like creatures of alien ages,
If
wishes were tiny particles, I’d blow them to the cages;
Of
easterly nations where action speaks louder than spoken words,
If
wishes were clauses, I'd amend the law of nature;
By
upholding the essence of life and its cause, I'd surrender…
All
books of history to the furnace and rewrite in tongues of dozen letters.

Tebogo ..if wishes were flowers
i would wish for a garden of them without thorn,i would wish to live inside my
mind and do as i wish and live every moment without fear of my surrounding's
eye.if wishes had ears i would tell mine to walk in reality as everyday breaks
the silent whispers of the night.I wish pages could allow my pen to bleed not
tears on them as i wear my heart on my sleeve and shout to the mountains to
tell the world that poetry is my soul mate.i wish leaves could hear my cry when
i say i want a bohemian existence to live on stages,my tongue only knowing
metaphors and idioms.if wishes were eagles mine would eye the heavens and dance
with the angels...great read my king,Jah bless

Theresa Govert If wishes were
clauses, I'd amend the law of nature; By upholding the essence of life and its

tongues of dozen letters. what a powerful ending, thank you
Mambo Ntema Most welcome Seed. Wishes
have wings they fly as high as wishes do. Will-power does, and dig matters
past. But wishes bury impossibilities. Wishes marry their color without rainbow
colors. oneBlood
Thato Ramakoba Deep stuff De Mambo.
Am more than impressed!
Mambo Ntema oneBlood
Monica Munashe Rupazo phenomenal.
Mambo Ntema Theresa And
I believe that nothing supersedes Creativity, besides reaction and pro-action.
So long as said or done, it must be written or none, or will end in isolated
oceans deep but calm. Its a complex one. Donna But the merit of such in our daily lives is the
ability to walk upright and declare our voices with the inner person(s) to the
Creative thinking world of creative writings and artistic melodies of life in its
quadri-mental essence. And so are wishes, and so if wishes were... Thank you Munashe Rupazo, Ramakoba Mrewa Kedirebofe
Pelontle and Kachana, it is like scattering seeds on a seed-nature to
nurture more trees and leaves for the air we breathe and our feed green.

have sun, moon and stars in words.
Monica Munashe Rupazo Gratitude, my

Mambo Ntema Munyaradzi Yes king, this verse is deep
and sensible. I like it. Had to read it over and over. its super. How I wish
the world of Creative ones could over-shadow its alien kind and captivate us
more with spoken and written word(s) Dzikamayi Munashe Rupazo, oneBlood.
Mambo Ntema Humbled.
Khonzani Nhlalo Zee Nyc piece...
Mambo Ntema It is a piece to read at
ease, just an extraordinary poem it is. oneBlood
Mambo
Ntema Reminding me of the days when writing was more than
just written but expressed in such sentence constructs. The semantic word play
and imagery were matters of not so much concern but the effect, the message
behind the word written in spoken kind. I am reminded of the writer's poet
phonology! oneBlood
