Granny has left us, Answering the call to heaven. Though I try to hide it,My heart weeps with crimson tears,Reverberating with piercing pain.I’ve been avoiding reality,But I cannot escape,The reality of the situation.

Novacaine
Novacaine Damian Semwayo I strive for unconditional love to unfold,Yet, it feels suffocating, difficult to hold.The intense highs, devoid of solace and rest,A never-ending precipice, skyward I’m pressed.I gasp, feeling choked by my own despair,As it taints the love we’re meant to share.Together we ought to be, bound and free,In harmony, as you reside deepContinue reading “Novacaine”
Stand Firm
Stand FirmDamian Semwayo Stand firm, my friend. As the wind passes through you.Stand firm, my friend. As the wind passes by,Don’t hold it in. The whirl will do injustice to your settled peace,Uproot your freedom and stain dust to your Self, your identity.Open all the channels.Feel the energy and let it flow through. Stand firmContinue reading “Stand Firm”
Need I Not extracted from the Blueprints of the Soul coming out this December 🍶
I lost you to the world
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”
I Chose You After Me
I Chose You After MeDamian Semwayo I have chosen myself,Embracing solitude within.A haven of peace, without any pleas,A sanctuary where I’m truly free. I choose to retreat within myself for a while,To find solitude and freedom with a smile.A place to reside and be at peace,And to grow stronger without any lease. I retreat toContinue reading “I Chose You After Me”
Growth Through Pain
Growth Through PainDamian Semwayo I veil pain, not for personal gain. It’s the emotional strain that helps me sustain.A stronger self, connected to my inner core.A clearer path, discovering what I’m living for. I veil pain, not for personal gain.
Validation
Validation Damian Semwayo I sought validation in your eyes, until I realized,I lost sight of my own worth, my own prize.Considerate of your feelings, while mine remain ignored,I’ve poured my energy into feeding your ego, restored.Now you treat me as just another fool,Your thoughts prevail, while mine stay cool.I see through your being, but youContinue reading “Validation”
Oh Lord
Oh Lord Damian Semwayo I envision my success,The product of my hard work and progress.My destiny within reach,Thanks to the wisdom I did seek. Oh Lord, grant me the courage to face my fears,And leave behind all my past tears.For I will shine as bright as the sun,And my accomplishments will not be undone. WithContinue reading “Oh Lord”
Furnace of belief
Furnace of belief Damian Semwayo Today I remember the days,When doubts and fears clouded my ways.But now I see my dreams high up in the sky,Skyrocketing with no fear of dying. I feel the furnace of belief and vibrant energy,Pushing me towards my destiny.I am my own person, free to choose my fate,And enter anyContinue reading “Furnace of belief”
And I wonder
And I wonder Damian Semwayo When I look into your eyes, what do I see?A reflection of your soul, a truth set free.Beyond handsome features that catch my gaze,A depth of emotions, a captivating maze. When I peer into your soul, what lies within?Is it a radiant light, a soul untamed, no sin?Or do IContinue reading “And I wonder”
seeking after seeking
seeking after seekingDamian Semwayo I seek a haven,Where I can be vulnerable and true.A place where I can let go of the burden,And find solace in someone like you. I seek a haven,Where I can find peace and rest.A place where I can lay my head,And know that I am truly blessed. I seek aContinue reading “seeking after seeking”
Days as reminders
Days as remindersDamian Semwayo The sound of the ocean waves,Reminds me of my unsteady mind,In my younger years.Drifting through life,With uncertainty and fear.Craving guidance and love,To ease the pain I held so dear. Dying inside slowly seeking,A way to heal and grow.To shed the weight of my past,And let my true self glow.Learning to valueContinue reading “Days as reminders”

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”
Hello, family. I bring to you my new collection of 9 poems inspired by courage to claim identity, race, gender, and culture without fear of judgment. Classiquel Poetry Consultancy presents “Stitches of Courage” by Damian Semwayo.
Unveiled by an Angel
Damian Semwayo She cleared my doubts,From all my routes,Of choice.Clarified the detailed amidst my,Fog of misunderstanding and poise.A clarification on the identification crisis.My identity doubts. Her presence profound,A celestial force unbound.Not through lust nor desires,But with wisdom that inspires.A guardian angel, per se,Guiding me on the righteous way.She offered assurance without disguise,Helping me see throughContinue reading “Unveiled by an Angel”
Path to Liberty
Damian Semwayo Does our nation embodyFreedom’s light?Working till our eyes,Can’t resist the call to dream. Taxed to build a better,Future for all to share.I ponder if they hear our voice,Not just a whisper but a,Cry for change.Love regained.Chains of oppression breaking,Liberating every hand.Democracy’s embrace. No wonder why our brethren,Rise.Empowered and determined,Justice seekers unite.The scars ofContinue reading “Path to Liberty”
Eternal Bliss
Damian Semwayo I find myself in wonder,Why I feel both highs and lows,Like the sun’s rays upon my face,Can bring both joy and woes. Some days I rise with vigor,Making my bed, tasks in hand,Completing them with purpose,Making strides, taking a stand. Yet other days I’m weary,Compelled to stay confined,A feeling of being drained,Without remorse,Continue reading “Eternal Bliss”
Heart Ablaze
Damian Semwayo Live wisely, not blindly,Take life’s challenges in stride.Slow down the pace, embrace,Never allowing fear to reside. If I choose to escape,Let a situation fade away,Does it make me a forever coward?Or perhaps, a repentant soul,One who struggles to self-forgive,If the same mistake is replayed.There are moments of relief,Yet, at times, I feel defeated.Continue reading “Heart Ablaze”
Q
Damian Semwayo Embrace change’s subtle call,Resistance breeds consequences, befall.Chart your journey, track your growth,From who you were, to who you are, both.And in contemplation, envision who you strive to be,A blend of past, present, and future, free. Live slowly, a pace of mindful grace,Yet let your choices be swift, a determined chase.Live slowly, but letContinue reading “Q”
Destiny Intertwined
Damian Semwayo “He left us, how could he depart?Why make such a scene, tearing us apart?He brought shame and disgrace, I confess.His life’s a mess, leaving us distressed.” “But I loved him, with all my heart!And still, I love him, though we’re apart!”Whimpering softly, like a wounded hound,Emotion pouring out, in tears it’s found. “HeContinue reading “Destiny Intertwined”
Daddy Issues
Damian Semwayo In the art of poetry, my heart sings,Revealing truths of the pain it brings.I reluctantly admit, it did hurt so,When he departed, a part of me did go. A tender lesion, filled with compassion’s grace,Departed with him, leaving an empty space.An itch demanding more, a longing to fulfill,Scratching into memories, against my will.Continue reading “Daddy Issues”
Love’s Irony
Damian Semwayo The pain cuts deeper, more than it should,Her love, sincere and open, misunderstood.What was she to sacrifice, to let go,Only to find heartbreak, a tragic blow? Sometimes, hope lingers far too long,Leaving us shattered, clinging on,Dying for a cause, lost deep within,A sacrifice made, an emotional anthem. In love’s name, she gave herContinue reading “Love’s Irony”
Faith of man
Damian Semwayo The faith of man, unyielding and strong,From my origins, where history’s wrong.Enslaved people of my color, bound by chains,In God’s name, a paradox that remains. Blinded by beliefs, confinements of the mind,With shattered morals, they were designed.But even now, I glimpse into their hearts,Still blinded and stuck, unable to restart. Rehabilitation, a challengingContinue reading “Faith of man”
Soldiers of Unity or Soldiers of vain
Damian Semwayo Amidst the chaos, troops are deployed,Disrupting peace, a world to be destroyed.No longer fighting for unity’s embrace,It seems currency and clips have taken their place. In this modernized perception, legalized veneer,A subtle form of slavery, cloaked so clear.With pockets of protection, they hold tight,Believing immortality blesses their every fight. Yet, unbeknownst to them,Continue reading “Soldiers of Unity or Soldiers of vain”

Story to Tell
Story to Tell.Damian Semwayo Once upon a time, I had a story to tell,Of the challenges I faced, and the struggle of my life.But fear and doubt had taken hold,And my words stayed hidden, kept out of sight. Then you came along, my dear friend,With your big heart and love to lend.I hesitated, for IContinue reading “Story to Tell”
No Strings.
No StringsBy Damian Semwayo Oh, how I am perplexed,By the world’s strange effects.Our perceptions doth vary,Of this planet we do carry.Each detail doth make me ponder,Thoughts stacked high, a mental wonder.Is it I or the world that’s mad,Or is it all but a perception fad?The world doth hang by a thread,Yearning for drops of hopeContinue reading “No Strings.”
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? Misfortunes of the yesteryear,Taunt me with their familiarity nearI wish I could forget the pain,And focus on the good before it wanes But memories, both goodContinue reading “Talk Up.”
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!”
Love is A Game.
I used to think love was such a boreA leech on life, a bothersome choreBut you came, and that all changedWith you, my perspective was rearranged When you shiver in my arms, I feel completeYour words to me, they are oh so sweetI find you cute, when you look awayAnd when I see your eyes,Continue reading “Love is A Game.”
Paradox of Death
We’re all in this world together,Unavoidable fate we all share.Sometimes it feels like destiny’s hand,Knocking at our door, always there. A sensation lingers within,For years this feeling persists,Can death be menacing or grim,When it’s promised to all like this? Time, oh how it flows,Through every vein in our being.But for you, Death, it goes slow,DueContinue reading “Paradox of Death”
