F/South Africa A conscious believer of magic. / I let words speak for me, and give you the power to visualize the one behind the words.
I knew her I knew her before him Before they met Before his eyes became her mirror Before he started whispering sweet nothings in her ear Before she smiled at his sight Before she started wanting more with him Before her heart started feeling complete with him Before she could lose her mind in his touch and find refuge in his voice. I knew her before him When I could still roam the corridors and rooms of her heart and not find her nestled in his arms I knew her before 'she' became 'them' When I still had a chance When I could tell her how I feel I knew her before him I knew her, The one who got away.

I knew her
The failed struggle of our forefathers has caught up with me. We all wanted equality, the pursuit of happiness and ******* liberty. We went up from being slaves, negros, black and now dead - we are endangered species. Today he was killed by the cold white hand of the one behind the badge, who swore to some like called an oath to serve and protect everyone but the black man. To them he's just another tragedy, the next sad story amongst a million of his other brothers and sisters, all lay lifeless, merciless and black - but any ****** is justified as long as the cries of the white man are pacified. Tomorrow the headlines will read "Black Man Consumed by Bullets" and no one saw him, no one killed him, and no one heard his cries. But I know, us black folks know. Being any colour but white is the death sentence. Dead is the new Black.

Black and Dead
I will make an art of this moment Translate you longing into words Draw you up into my lungs And speak you from the the back of my throat. Like a siren singing from the shore I will eat you alive On the rocky river bed And I will clean my teeth of you, Muse of the lower world. Savoring the taste of your strange And beautiful language.

A Muse
The shadow moves above my eyes. I'm blindfolded from sight, handcuffed from touch. The warm feeling of these lips upon my skin - ******* nibbling, biting from this excessive ****** lust and the crude tongue, playing a lecherous percussion of the forbidden dance on my ***** and ******** all this a tantalizing damnation, then this weapon I've been wanting, needing, craving is punched into me, pulling back and forth from horny-lovers lane. It lingers, simmers, agonizingly feeding my sexually crazed desires. I feel as if I'm crawling, brushing, climaxing my ***** and all that is around me. I let out a slow, mournful growl as I'm drawn to a constellated galaxy of ******** rush. Then I  release myself through the milky-way returning to Earth, back in the beige-walled room. The blindfold is now off: free to sight, free to touch. I take a deep breath, look down upon my *** - I want to see him, the Mozart of my ****** pleasure; but instead I find her sitting there ******* her finger,wearing nothing but a smirk.
