Naledi

It might be a bit overdue...but better late than never. A little over a month ago on the 17th of June 2013,we were again blessed with the birth of  life. Naledi, my God daughter was born and this one is for all of them

To life we give thanks
Our hands
Turned soft
Strong hearts
Made gentle
Hard men
Turned by fragile faces
That light up
At the sound
Of our voices
And every word they utter
A feather
That tickles our hearts
And in their eyes
I ser hope
Like stars
That twinkle in the sky......

Untitled

It was a long day
Long enough
To fit all the sorrow
And pain
And still have space
For nothing
Still have space
For moments of emptiness
Moments that can swallow
A man whole
And spit out pieces
Of the shell
That used to be him
Yet still
At the end of the day
I find hope in the night
The darkness
Pregnant with light
And the promise of morning
A new begining

Maybe I am a dreamer

Maybe

Breathing

I wish you knew
How much it hurts
How much breathing
Has become a chore
How much each
Inhaled breath
Scrapes on the walls
Of my airways
To reach my lungs
And how each
Breath out is relief....

Fire

I always knew 
   
      We were gonna go out
   
      In a ball of fire
   
      I never counted
   
      On us being 
   
      Engulfed by the flames
   
      Leaving us both
   
      With scars 
   
      That would never heal

Worlds

She tip toes

Ever so gently on his heart

Breathing life
   
      Into his art
   
      Even though
   
      They are worlds apart
   
  
   He scribbles like a mad man
   
      Hoping the words in his poems
   
      Will bridge the gap
   
      Between their worlds
   
      Violently thrusting them
   
      Into each others arms
   
   
  He tried the gently approach
   
      And the gravity
   
      From each ones world
   
      Pulled them back
   
      As if to say
   
      This is where 
   
      They should stay
   
  
   She is better
   
      At pretending 
   
      Than he is
And accepts this fate

While he still writes

To bridge the gap

E.V.O.L

Intense
Tearing arteries
Clogging airways
Stomach churning
Appetite inhibiting
Tear jerking
Mouth drying
But still inspiring
Intense...

Like aaaaahhhhh

I love you
Like I love hip hop
I love you
Like heart beats
I love you
Like jazz
Like aaahhhhh
I love you
Like pulling hair
I love you
Like I want you
Like right now
I love you
Like soft lips
I love you
Like I need you
Like air
I love you
Like I want you
Like I need you
Like right now
Like aaaaaahhhhhhh

The Dream

It was me and u
Then me on you
Then you on me
You said love
I said love
And we made love
Our bodies Intertwined
As our hearts Like vines
We were clinging
To each other
So much
That is was hard
To see where you begin
And I end
And looking deep
Into each other’s eyes
Was the only conversation we had
It was me and u
Then me on you
Then you on me
You said love
And I said love
And we made love
To the sound
Of our heart beats
And heavy breathing……

The unsaid

the winds
whispered it to the tree tops
And the leaves
Heavey with this secret
dropped to the ground
To gossip to the soil
And make it fertile
And from that
A flower grew
And when it began to bloom
And the wind
Was blowing
In the right direction
From my heart to yours
A whisper is heard
In the rhythm
Of our heart beats
Saying silently
But loud enough
For your heart to hear
I
Love
You
