The Pregnant Tongue: An anthology of poems Ishmael Mabhiza

... Speaking is simple;

But words can be complicated

Our own words- our own worlds.

We have to live,

For we have a will to serve

A step away is a mile away...

... I spit the words I feel, I feel the words I speak
To give an anchor, to the owner, of an ear that hears
To diverge the doom utterers.

I am the one, -the pregnant
No-one knows, No-one hears but;
The day I will break, you will see
Again you will hear me, feel yourself
You will touch the words I say, as I swell ...

The Pregnant Tongue, a fiery flame ravaging mental tombs to unveil the buried heroes. An introspection of dusty hearts and breaking mental barriers to unimagined success. A story of success and illuminated life possibilities. Living under an oath but and striving under a life. All the air we breathe and all the sights we had, so tranquilizing but never helpful off let. There is a voice to the voiceless and a wave of peace to the listener.
