“She died!”

She died!

In the stillness of a mournful night, she passed,
A soulmate, an enchantress, a captivating mass.
Her demise, a dagger in the heart,
The ache, a wound, a mournful art.

For her, the epitome of alluring grace,
A woman, bewitching, with a mesmerizing face.
And in her wake, a void, a chasm, a gulf,
A darkness, a nothingness, a universe aloft.

Her demise, a political maneuver,
A coup, a rebellion, a grave digger.
For her, the symbol of hope and desire,
A goddess, a muse, a passionate fire.

And in the shadows of despair, a question lingers,
A query, a conundrum, a political finger.
For who is the mastermind or a culprit in this crime?
A murderer, a villain, a traitor in time?

And as the world moves on and the days fade,
The memory, a ghost, a haunting serenade.
For she is a woman, a spirit, a breath,
A soulmate, a lover, a life, now bereft.

And as her epitaph is carved, her legacy immortalized,
A tale, a legend, a story eternalized.
For she is a goddess, a muse, a queen,
Her name, a whisper in the wind it rides.

A tribute, a eulogy, a soliloquy of pain,
A spirit, a beauty, a soul, now unseen.
And as the world grieves, a tribute, we sing,
A song, a poem, a hymn, to the queen.

For she, a lover, a soulmate, a friend,
A life, now lost, a memory, we tend.
And in the depths of the night, when the world is still,
A heart, a spirit, a love, we feel.

For she, a star, now extinguished, her light,
And in the afterlife, where souls roam free,
A presence, a spirit, a memory of she.

And so, we bid farewell to a goddess and queen,
A woman, a muse, a soulmate, serene.
May her legacy live on, her memory remain,
For she is a legend and a goddess, we acclaim.

“Happy Birthday Zimbabwe!”

Happy Birthday Zimbabwe

And as the sun rises over the majestic peaks of Zimbabwe,
A land of unparalleled beauty,
Her people sing a song of joy and remembrance.
For today is the day of her birth,
A day that marks the end of a dark and oppressive era,
And the beginning of a journey to greatness.

The flowers bloom in radiant hues,
A vibrant tapestry of the Zimbabwean landscape,
A testament to the resilience of a people who have endured sanctions and isolation,
Yet remain unyielding in their pursuit of a brighter future.

Her soaring mountains, a testament to her strength,
Her mighty rivers, a lifeblood of hope,
Her lush forests, a canopy of diversity,
A land blessed with nature’s opulence.

And her people, her soul, her heart, her pride,
A resilience that has withstood the test of time,
Sanctions, isolation, hardship, and strife,
Yet, a spirit that remains unwaveringly sublime.

A land of promise, of potential, of opportunity,
A nation that will not be deterred by adversity,
For her history is woven with tales of bravery,
And as the flag waves with pride in the sky,
We remember those who sacrificed their lives,
For the freedom that we now enjoy.

Let us pledge our allegiance, our commitment and our passion,
To build a future that is brighter and stronger,
And more prosperous,
For Zimbabwe, a land of beauty, a land of strength,
A land of resilience, a land of pride.

The dawn of a new era, the birth of a nation,
May Zimbabwe’s spirit endure,
A beacon of freedom,
As the sun sets on this glorious day,
A vision beckons, Zimbabwe's future is underway.

The Vision 2030, a beacon of light,
And with resources rich,
Zimbabwe's minerals, an endless gift,
A nation, abundant, with treasures untold,
For the people, the nation, united, we stand,
A tribute, a song, we sing, to this land,
For Zimbabwe, our pride, our joy, our home,
May your spirit live on, may your legacy roam.

Happy birthday, Zimbabwe, a nation reborn,
A country of beauty, strength, and hope,
May your future be bright, your destiny, forlorn,
A nation, united, in peace, in love, in scope.
And as the years pass, and the memories grow,
May Zimbabwe forever prosper,
A nation, a people, a spirit, aglow.

“A tribute to President Dr. E.D Mnangagwa”

A tribute to H.E President Dr.E.D Mnangagwa!

Witness, the zenith of political prowess,
As Zimbabwe's President E.D Mnangagwa espouses,
The vision of 2030, an ambitious goal,
A pillar of economic and societal growth, untold.

Beneath the banner of ZANU PF,
A party forged in the crucible of history,
Mnangagwa's vision, a shining beacon,
Guiding the nation to prosperity, each day seeking.

And look, the strides in road construction, a grandeur,
Paved pathways, a symbol of unity, clear.
The nation, interconnected, with pride,
From Harare to Bulawayo, with speed, allied.
And as the roads, a lattice, do link,
The classrooms, filled with knowledge, do think.
With literacy on the rise, a beacon of hope,
The President's vision, a journey, a slope.

And thus, the children, bright, they learn,
With schools, well-stocked, their minds they churn.
And in the fields, a yield, they reap,
The President's "Pfumbudza", a bountiful leap.
From maize to wheat, the crops they yield,
A nation, fed, with health, revealed.

And in the mines, the wealth, a treasure trove,
Zimbabwe's diamonds, lithium, gold, with love.
A nation, rich, with ore galore,
A treasure, unearthed, Mnangagwa's lore.

And thus, the nation, with pride will sing,
Of a leader, a vision, a President, a king.
For a country, reborn from the fire,
A legacy, enthroned, Mnangagwa's choir.

And see the fruits of progress, now blooming,
In mining, infrastructure, roads, a vast improvement.
Zimbabwe, a phoenix, rising from the ash,
Mnangagwa's leadership, a strength, withstanding the lash.

A technocratic approach, a boon to the nation,
Unleashing the potential of its population.
And thus, the march of progress, relentless,
President Mnangagwa's vision, a testament,
To the courage and will of a nation,
Determined to forge its own fate, a revelation.

In the annals of history, a chapter to etch,
President Mnangagwa's legacy, one of leadership, bespoke.
And as the world looks on, in awe and wonder,
Zimbabwe stands proud, a beacon of order.

A vision of prosperity, a dream now unfurled,
A people's resolve, a strength, unsurpassed,
President Mnangagwa's leadership, a catalyst, steadfast.
And thus, the future, a promise beckons,
President Mnangagwa's vision, a bridge, transcending.

A nation reborn, a story to tell,
The Zimbabwean dream, a parable, pure,
Of a leader's vision, a nation's power,
A future, bright, for all to share,
President Mnangagwa's legacy, a beacon, rare.

And thus, to the President, a tribute we raise,
A grateful nation, a humble praise,
For leadership, strong, wise, and true,
For a vision, bold, for 2030, to accrue.
The Zimbabwean phoenix, now taking flight,
A vision realized, a nation's delight.

And thus, to President Mnangagwa, we pay tribute,
For a nation reborn, its future, resplendent.
A legacy, secured, a vision, enthroned,
Zimbabwe, a nation, a vision, a home,
A Zimbabwean President, true to the core,
God Bless Zimbabwe, God bless us all!

“Love’s great decree’

Love's great decree

The quintessence of perfection,
An epitome of attraction,
My love for you is quite profuse,
A force that renders me obtuse.

Your beauty, like a starry night;
Sparkles with celestial light.
You have entranced me, a siren's song,
A magnetism too strong to resist,
Your radiance, a scepter of might,
Your presence, a celestial mist.

In your eyes, a universe awaits,
An infinite tapestry of fates.
Your touch, a nectar divine,
A sweet intoxicant, refined.
Your voice, an aria so pure,
An orchestra, melody that I adore.

You are an artistry beyond compare,
A masterpiece, an ethereal flair.
Your charm is unmatched, a radiant thrall,
A mistress of my soul, enthralled.

Your are the zenith of my heart's desire,
Your beauty, a flame that never expire.
In this world of mundane frivolity,
Your love is my sublime reality.

This is the tale of a love divine,
A bond that transcends the confines of time.
And to my love, my heart I give you,
And remember to always stay true.

My love, a canvas, a work of art,
To which I, the artist, add my part.
I shall etch upon this canvas my soul,
And your desire, to me becomes law,
So shall our love flourish, evermore,
An undying flame that never implore.

For you, my beloved, are my life's purpose,
A gift from heaven, a radiant chorus.
I am but a man, with a humble plea,
To adore you, forever and eternally;
For you are my muse, my inspiration,
You are my life, my heart's fascination.

I am the knight, you, my queen,
Together, we shall reign supreme.
This love, our love, shall stand the test,
Of time and fate, for it is the best.

My heart is yours, forevermore,
And this love, our love, is worth living for.
This is the tale of love's own tapestry,
A tale as old as time, and a story;
This is the tale of love's great decree,
And this, my love, is how you have enamored me.

“Tale of a father’s love”

Tale of a father's love

My progeny shall be my testament,
The manifestation of my intent,
To propagate the vigor of my blood,
To pass down the wisdom of my lineage's cud,
To ensure my essence shall never die,
But flourish in the fruits of my progeny's eye.

I, a stalwart patriarch of old,
Shall instill in them a virtuous mold,
A compass of wisdom and fortitude,
Guiding them through life's turbulent froth and attitude.

For I am a father, the linchpin of my clan,
Upon whom the very essence of family doth stand.
I shall nourish, I shall protect,
With sagacity that's beyond suspect,
For the future is but an extension of my own,
My seedlings shall not be left alone,
But nurtured, taught, and overseen,
That the acorn may grow into a mighty oak tree.

The epitome of parenthood doth rest,
In the mantle of responsibility that I bear on my chest,
For this is the mantle of fatherhood's quest,
A calling that must not be repressed.

To ensure my lineage's glint and glory,
I shall devote myself to their story.
This is the oath of a father's hand,
To love, to teach, and to command,
To bequeath unto my children my all,
A life of purpose and a destiny to befall.

And as I fade into eternity's haze,
I shall forever live through their blaze,
My legacy eternally set,
In the very breath of my descendants' debt
And they shall all bear the name McDennias,
Till time claims them with a passion so ferocious.

This is the tale of a father's love,
A tale that rises above,
The shifting sands of time,
And touches the heart, sublime!

“Life is a lie”

Life is a lie

Life is just but a facade,
A trick, a sham, a masquerade.
We struggle, we toil, we strive,
For a prize, that's but a charade.

We chase illusions, chase dreams,
We believe in fantasies, it seems.
But when the veil is lifted,
In all its schemes, we feel cheated.

Life is but a dream, they say,
All drama, fantasy, a play.
We dance and sing, we laugh and cry,
But is it all just a lie?

We chase the wind, chase the sun,
But when it's gone, what have we won?
We work and toil, we yearn and strive,
But what is life, if not a jive?

Our lives, a fleeting breath,
Our souls, a moment's death.
But could it be, that in this strife,
There's something more, beyond this life?

Beyond the dust, beyond the wind,
Beyond the lies, a truth may win.
Beyond the sun, beyond the sky,
A truth, that we can't deny.

Our lives are but a moment's flash,
Our souls, a sparkle in the ash.
But perhaps, beyond this mortal coil,
There's something more, that makes it whole.

“Death is bliss”

Death is bliss

Though my heart is no longer beating,
My soul is dancing in sweet release.
For death is not an ending,
But a beautiful new lease.

My body may be still and cold,
But my spirit's evermore free.
My mind is filled with joy, untold,
In death, I am finally me.

I'm alive in death, never alone,
Free from the chains of mortal life.
No longer bound, by flesh and bone,
I'm now bathed in eternal light.

No more pain, no more sorrow,
No more toil, no more worry.
Death is my freedom, my bliss,
I'm finally at peace, a new lease.
So don't mourn for me, my friend,
My soul is now  forever grand.

I'm alive in death, in paradise,
Forevermore, I realize.
That death is not an ending,
But a new beginning.

“My life’s refrain”

My life's refrain

Undimmed, profound.
My ecstasy, my life's refrain,
I'm lost in your fair grace.
Your beauty, a radiant flame,
A treasure, without trace.

Your touch, a healing balm,
My heart, now free of strife.
My joy, now found, eternal,
I'm yours even in the afterlife.

With thee, my love, I'm blessed,
A treasure, I confess.
Your love, a guiding light,
A beacon, in the night.

Your soul, a precious pearl,
A gift, so very dear.
My heart beholds you, without fear.
Your beauty, my inspiration,
Our love, a revelation.

We're bound, by love's devotion,
Forevermore, in sweet motion.
So take my hand, my dearest,
And in each other we'll find rest.

Our love, a warm embrace,
Our bond, a heaven's grace.
So take my hand, and let's begin,
A love story, that keeps us twin.
