Home Is Where You Hang
sign my farewell with the chimes of clock radios 7a.m.
sun reveals a failed
cherubim dangling from the rafters like a sentimental ghost
floating midway between the curse of the sky and you
this noose carries what atrophied wings can't
don't you want me disenchanted
a deader shade of sorry buried from the neck up in a slipknot
dragging my feet through the dead air
suspended a fallen chair length from the ground when you found me
when they finally found me
this halo fit my throat
I am your contorted angel
writhing at a loss for wings
swelled tongues tell of brighter eyes
a severed spine of better days
like the deafened clicks of a blue lipped off the beat pendulum
I just wanted to be something more than enough of my God
I don't think I'm breathing
Jesus Christ when did I stop breathing
oh my God I can't hear myself breathing
this is all I know of flying
my eyes set on you like stains
in memory of romance
Love me Lyrically
Love me lyrically, gently, rhythmically
Like the words oozed out of the sugary lips of crooners.
With the kind of steadiness bred from your finger tips
When you summon the coolness of the ebony & ivory.
Love me madly, faultlessly, preciously
Cherishing my most trivial of gestures as you
Breath deeply, slowly, to absorb the scent of my hair
Seeing only God’s perfection in my earthly frailty.
Love me proudly, completely, only
Tell your mother you’ve found the She that
Who’s touch you crave, who’s laugh you adore
And who’s heart you submit to with unflinching certainty.
Love me passionately, frantically, uncustomary.
Unperturbed by your unshakable creed of hopeless serendipity
Make melodic love to me till I rest wearily in your arms
As you lay sleepless- captivated by my elusive subtlety.
Love me truthfully, deeply, honourably
Adorn my hand with the symbol of a foreverness
That will bring to life our deepest desire as You, Me
And He / She become ONE, blessed by our maker’s divinity.

What happened June 17th
Yesterday my soul died
I felt it crumbling with each breath that I took
Inhaling the stench of death as it filled my chest
And the bitter taste of rock bottom thickened on my tongue.
Yesterday my heart stopped
And the silence was deafening as it cried out the words
YOU ARE ALONE so deliberately
As if to salt the telling cracks realized after
My sanity was shaken & taken from me.
Yesterday I choked on emptiness as I opened my mouth
To plead for his help most divine, most kind
And the parchedness of my throat caused it to ache as
I swallowed my poisoned truth.
Yesterday my heart slowly pumped
A venomous fluid through my veins and
I felt myself willingly losing sensation in my feet,
My knees and eventually numbing my Spirit
That chose not to fight the fight you say I can win.
And laying there deceased to myself,
I wished for nothing more, than for even less.
Yesterday the pain that I felt consumed me
Sending a burning, quivering, unsettling
Sense of pure madness through me…
Because all this lingering lunacy
Just wasn’t enough to make it real.
As I peel open my eyes to the a world relentless
To another day of no alternatives.
Naissance
I yearn for you, my child, my deepest desire.
My belly lays empty waiting for you to come.
See: My perfect nest to keep you close to me
My breasts tender and nipples perked to nourish you.
I stare in wonder, with anticipation
At my naked reflection…Will you one day be here too?
Coddled in your mummy’s nest, bound to me as you grow
From a twinkle in my eye, to the valley that is my soul.
I wait with bated breath to see the colour of your eyes
The shape of your nose & the quirkiness of your smile
Will you have your mum’s dimples or her kinky mane?
Will you have your dad’s dishiness or his impossibleness?
And what will I name you, oh perfect conception?
My gorgeous creation, needless to say!
I will name your after tenderness, after greatness
After lovingness and after fortitude.
Bring on the distressing months of swollen ankles
Queezy mornings, aching evenings & bizarre cravings
Bring on the widening hips, swollen lips & stretching tum
Come & rest in my womb & bless me with your spirit.

Fragile Earth
A Fragile Earth
Amongst the infinite cosmos
Revolving in the galaxy
Spinning its path around the sun
The earth sits; our planet
Attracted by its glory, its power, its life
Earth spins round and round again
It orbits around the great star:
The sun; our light
But this star has caused us problems
By no fault of its own
As we let pollutants crowd inside
Our atmosphere; the air
Nothing in life is truly free
Though it may appear so
The cost for modern way
Is the earth; our home
As the glaciers are melting
As trees are chopped, one by one
We start to lose the beauty
That’s been given; our land
As the sea levels rise, we live in worry
Of what will happen to those by the ocean
In the devastation caused by floods,
We lose what really matters; our lives
Disease levels are increasing
Around the world because
The air we breathe is contaminated
So we loose those we love; our family
The fate of the planet
Lies in our own hands
If the earth is not saved
It’s because of us; our fault
By planting a tree,
You become part of the green force
One small effort is all that’s needed
To save the earth; our life
Decapitated… heads… offstate
1st…
I don beat around the Bush coz George might come out.
Straight to the point like magic floors kissing outstretched toes,
'Strike' a perfect pose like miners in heat
dropping gold when story's of unpaid labour are told…
A python hold from u'VA…
V' points the route to vendetta's,
but the worst debtors r those waiting for us to cast a vote,
we myt pick,
but they wont pay for us to live better.
I am a Knight,
shining the light via L.E.D
so the children of the light wont D.I.E.
Let Malema fart….
but stop advertising the stench.
We at our best even from the bench,
score goals in posts that boast buzzing statuses,
spit hair raising truths like we captaining ghosts while rocking the boat with Aaliyah,
but not even the truth can free Mumiyah…
So… we wait…
resting our tired, soft, poverty stricken heads on the soothing words of Kgalema……………
But decapitated heads off-state,
talk from the grave… till Bishops lose the hope… of a vote… comments?
Fell The Keep
When the gallows are all empty,
at our castle in the air,
will we be pardoned then?
A king of spades,
A queen of hearts,
a court of paltry fools;
we hung our visions
from nettle binding until
only osteal remained,
silhouetted in the sunrise
as much as our reverence.
Inhume us then,
deepest yet,
into the catacombs,
and leave with us
only our nepenthean dreams
that our shame might rest
that love might find us
in our next life,
if we are not
the bane of Elpis yet.
my love for you
my love for it is un discribeble but yet it is true,
i can go to the end of the world but i will naver found love like this,
now i am thinking by my heart while i dont know if it is the right thing to do,
my love for ui it is so big that i dont know how big it is,
my love for u it is deeper than the pacific ocean,
it is faster than the speed of light,
it flows like the nile river
my love for u i can't explian it
my love for u itis big
my love for u
