Why do you display such a fierce demeanor?Attempting to be something you’re not.I’m not claiming to be what I’m not.Perhaps I am authentic, sincere.But are you? Can you prove your credibility?Have we met before, in time long gone?Now, after two months, I am perplexed,Uncertain of the path on which you tread.Please enlighten me,Why do youContinue reading “I lost you to the world”

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.

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”

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”

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.

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.

Yet still,Continue reading “Attraction’s Rhythm.”
