Dikgomo di kae Mme-mmatswale?

Remember when we debated whether Khune is better than Meyiwa?

Whether Ronaldo is Pele sorry was Pele reincarnated?

And you said what about Messi?

Do you remember?

When I hit the heart in the heat of your drumbeat.

And the feast in my feet-a travelling beast

Carrying a great mean feat

Black consciousness between  

Lucky Dube's ode to you 

Together as one

Collectively with the I-Threes

I'm in the iron in awe

Ore your man your Lion of Judah

Your superhero- man in a purple blanket

King of your castle my Queen, my Zion.

Numb me drum and you base my bass 

On the rhythm in your blues blueberry

When we are black and merry

We will marry and have a little lamb

A Mercedes Benz 

A Beemer and a Maserati

Just cause Kwena o jele Mma-serati

And I don't know what that means

But kaloku ka Setswana you get me.

Oh my Gosh!

Four, fallen

the Idols

Dome come crawling

Still desert rain

Don’t come calling

Breathe band playing

Everywhere blended wine

Hang over Orlando

Oh my God!

I forgot the lyrics.

Yellow Mellow, my Spar-letta

Before you close your eyes tonight, I want you to know that…

Like slippery fish slipping through my hands

You almost rewrote the lines of our destinies in my palms

It may be too convenient to sound the blame knell in your name,

 in fairness it is my silence that is always lame

cautious in finding the footpaths of your smile in your shadow

it, my silence, let you slip past tentacles within my grasp

the rasp also, that intertwines the crisp harp sound

that strings our future path in soft pink hues beautifully blue and white

and sprinkles red rose petals just like in the movies with grace

concretely makes all explanations seem to matter no more

because it never gave up, nor surrendered with a faint blueish powerless flame

so under our grapevine, secret and sure- my love

I open all my kingdom freedom’s juice and all

To your endless spring rain my empress

with gratitude the looming sun rises

over the landscapes of our love extensions.

Amen.
