You remind me of my happiest feelings

A lobola poem set in Boksburg, East Rand 
You remind me of my happiest feelings 
Joy visits me wearing your face 

Your voice sounds like an event 
Like I am about to dress up for a ceremony 
To honor our ancestors in holy matrimony 

uVumile umkhongi 
iMvula Mlomo Siyiphethe 
iLanga Libalele 
Ziningi inkomo esibayeni sikababa 

(The chief negotiator has agreed
We paid mvula mlomo 
The sun is shining 
There are plenty of cows in fathers yard)

Scenes are from Thato & Thando's Lobola ceremony celebration in December 2022
