By the river’s edge
By the river’s edgeDamian Semwayo You led me to the ocean’s shore,Guided me through the golden sand.Cleansed my soul with the saltwater,And helped me find my inner stand.

Self-determination’s Fruits
Self-determination’s Fruits Damian Semwayo Grew up contemplative.Finding solace in silence, a path to explore,The depths of my being, seeking love’s embrace,That was elusive, but yearned for more. Grew up guarded.For no one seemed to care, to truly see,The love within, waiting to be shared.Now, I teach love, fostering unity,Embracing the night, for tomorrow’s not declared.Continue reading “Self-determination’s Fruits”
Destined for greatness !
Destined for greatness! Damian Semwayo Chest aches from relentless coughing bouts,Weighing heavy, like no other cough,Nose, congested, with a winter’s scoff,Yet the heart keeps pumping, without doubts. Amidst the snow, we’ll trudge along, it’s true,Hope propels us, reaching for much more,With fervor, facing trials that lie in store,Energy wanes, but wrath seeks to imbue. ButContinue reading “Destined for greatness !”
Dear Aunt
Dear Aunt, one day you shall hear,When I rise and conquer, my voice sincere,So listen closely to my words today,For there are things I need to convey. I yearn to transcend our cultural chains,To settle down and share knowledge’s gains,Yet the torment you inflict weighs heavy,Upon those deemed lesser, unworthy. In a world where moreContinue reading “Dear Aunt”
Humane:Hardknock
Humane: HardknockDamian Semwayo If the sun’s scorching blaze,Reduces my flesh to dust’s embrace. If raindrops fall,And cleanse my soul in river’s haul. If the world’s harsh bite,Devours my soul with relentless might. Who will lend a caring ear,To the depths of my despair? #cpc
Brown Skin Melodies
Brown Sugar MelodiesDamian Semwayo Melodies of brown sugar,Echoing Rihanna’s Fenty Brown hues.We honor our queens.They embody black heritage with pride.They symbolize our unyielding race.Graceful faces, curves that command attention.A form flawlessly harmonious.A physique crafted to captivate,Satisfying all discerning eyes.What obstacles can hinder a soul so pure,So breathtaking?What boundaries can constrain a mind that’s,Driven and destined?BeholdContinue reading “Brown Skin Melodies”
Journey to self-discovery and renewal
Journey to self-discovery and renewalDamian Semwayo As the years pass, I gain more knowledge and insight,Reflecting on the journey of my life’s endless flight.May my heart not be tainted by sorrowful gain,Though I’ve have had my share of tears and pain.

But, sorry no emotions today
But, sorry no emotions today Damian Semwayo “I never said you can’t,” the words echo like a call,A permission to enter, to lure me into your space and enthrall.“I never said you can’t,” the invitation so clear,To seduce me into your duce, to make me feel and to steer. But amidst my priorities, my heartContinue reading “But, sorry no emotions today”
Tacenda
TacendaDamian Semwayo Love in you never ends, the words echo like a sweet melody,A promise of eternity, a bond of passion and intensity.Yet, there are ties with loose ends, stories of love and memories,Of bittersweet moments, of joy and pain, of highs and casualties.

Kalon
KalonDamian Semwayo What’s true, I’ve to ask, Is it but a fleeting concept, that we barely know it ?Is it the light that shines so bright,Or the shadows that conceal, and dim the sight? The mountain hues, that paint the sky,Or the devil’s armpits, that emit a putrid smell and make us sigh.What’s true, myContinue reading “Kalon”
Othicopa
OthicopaDamian Semwayo With imageries of beauty and a cry from the heart.Let’s dive deeper into the pool of emotions,And enrich the verses with expressive notions.

Metanoia
MetanoiaDamian Semwayo A story of loss and pain, emotions so consequential.Paint a picture so vivid,In words that flow like magic, with depth so explicit. He lost his soul too soon, on that fateful day,When the doves flew away with the twigs in dismay.Leaving behind a brother, who needed him the most,And with him, a gripContinue reading “Metanoia”
Need i Not.
Need I notDamian Semwayo We once needed each other, it was clear,Together in the same creed we held dear.But then, my needer’s need became unneeded by me,And now we stand apart, not as it used to be. +263 773 988 123@simply_Damianhttp://www.classiquel.school.blog
Stories I Tell
Stories I TellDamian Semwayo Let me tell you a tale of love and strife,Of a relationship that seemed to teeter on knife.For though love was there, it was often tested,And tempers flared, buttons pressed and guests bested. I know you poured love into every inch of your heart,But sometimes, I must have been too muchContinue reading “Stories I Tell”
Art of not Forcing.
Art of Not ForcingDamian Semwayo Times have changed,And tired I am, of playing the intuition game.No longer will I say, “I just had a feeling..”For I am the master of my fate,The captain to steer my ship on a gale. No longer a slave to premonitions,A new dawn breaks on my horizon.For I am theContinue reading “Art of not Forcing.”
The Clashing Voices Within
Damian Semwayo The Clashing Voices Within Today I woke up to a voice that wasn’t out,Wrapped up in feelings, with clarity in doubt.Debates rage on, with regrets unrefereed,Echoes loud enough to make hearts bleed. What the heart desires, the mind wants to please,Guilt towering over, a burden hard to ease.Lost in a land of confusion,Continue reading “The Clashing Voices Within”
Rise Above Chaos
Damian Semwayo Hiding behind our fears, yet shedding tears,Struggling for years, chasing elusive dreams with gears.Amid the chaos, struggles and strife,We shan’t forget, hope still guides our life.

We’re Both At Fault. (REDEMPTION)
We’re Both at Fault (Redemption)Damian Semwayo Damaged ties with loose ends,Easy to find and hard to mend,We both played a part,In breaking each other’s heart. I misspoke with “I miss you’s”,And I regret the damage I caused,But every reaction I gave,Was purely justified in the moment. Your light may have blackened,But we both know theContinue reading “We’re Both At Fault. (REDEMPTION)”
Dear Future Wife
Dear Future LoverDamian Semwayo Please be patient with me.I’m not skilled with love.I know it exists,But I wonder if it’s worth chasing.Do you think it’s worth it?Or will it steal my peace,My sanity, my mental health, my inner ease?If I decide to love,I want it to be a choice,Not the pressure that people put onContinue reading “Dear Future Wife”
Attraction’s Rhythm.
Attraction’s RhythmDamian Semwayo Her message comes, just as I heal,Longing for my touch, she can’t conceal.Her face aglow, her thigh in sight,I’m allowed into her forever night. But wait, my love, let’s clear the fog,Why do you like to see my heart stained red?Countless scars you’ve implemented,Like numbers learned when we were kids. Yet still,Continue reading “Attraction’s Rhythm.”
Talk Up.
Talk UpDamian Semwayo Today may have started anew,But yesterday still lingers like a dewDo I pay homage to the past I’ve had,Or do I move forward without turning back?

Confessions
In life, we’re faced with choices more than a few,Choosing wisely is what will see us through. Will we go to school and chase our dreams,Or will we surrender, losing our purpose it seems? Will we choose poetry and let our emotions flow,Crying and living, basking in its ebb and flow? Or will we chooseContinue reading “Confessions”
No Notifications.
The pain that we feel deep insideIs what keeps us unifiedIt brings us both joy and sorrowAnd leads us to thoughts of tomorrow Should we choose to departWe’ll lose the joy along with the hurtBut if we stay and weather the painPerhaps we’ll find sunshine after the rain Our path can lead us to freedomYet,Continue reading “No Notifications.”
Lowlier
But alas, it seems we’re not meant to be, no matter how much we want to see.Our love is like a rose, beautiful but with thorns that impose.We can’t ignore the reality, that we’re not each other’s destiny.It hurts to let go, but it’s better than holding onto something that won’t grow.So let’s cherish theContinue reading “Lowlier”
Love this, Love that. UGH!
We once grasped love,Watched it bloom and inflate,Inside the vocals of an angel,Inspiring and rejuvenating. But now the shackles weigh heavy,Keeping my mind unsorted,“Memoryless of you”,Has turned into my deepest fear.How can I turn down a euphoric reminiscence,When it started as a flame,Ended as a dying ember,Leaving a scar on my heart,And a newly mendedContinue reading “Love this, Love that. UGH!”
