It seems as if my mind will explode into flames of madness And at times my tear glands are pregnant with joy, anger and fear Corrupt confusion Iam a sodden mind of dry solitudeness mixed with hope The future is too bright I cant see Success is in limbo When I think of what happened to Moses I drown in paranoia All these fights, all these years, lost beer binging nights and not see Canan? At this juncture I can't turn back That has never been an option, I won't be a mound of salt I am not Lot's wife I hope to take off these shoes of lead and fly away Soon Let me melt away into the sky And face reality I will make you proud

Ceasefire my conscience
My heart is a derelict graveyard Sodden with poetry that reverbarates miles and miles away with each painful throb And so... The aftermath, the ache Tantamount to phantom limb pain Surgical exorcism of the heart from the other Here we go again Some dude said Love is a dog from hell And maybe its a fairy-tale mirage like Christmas Hail Mary Rid us of this daemon That which instills terror in these frail hearts Schizophrenic attempts to make the Mermaid of Venice copulate Filthy little beast LOVE Next season I might never unleash you And forever extinct you shall be in me Good riddance, mind pollutant, even air Nothing like love is in the air I couldn't have jammed into darkness and stench Today you might just fall down into your ****** organs and vanish Like a pin dropping into the Grand Canyon These feelings Phantom limb pain Finally the warmth is dissipated Culmination of the opposites is impossible Not with you and other various forms of human **** Rigour mortis of my soul So what choice do I have? Except to evacuate this fantasy of madness And secretly nurse my phantom limb pain At least this "Stiff" gave birth to a poem And maybe a poet

Phantom Limb Pain
Death Inpatiently I await This time with awe hanging from my soul like the magazine of an AK47 No more tears Like Medusa My piercing eye will turn you into stone And on that we shall engrave your epitaph 'FUCK OFF'

Dear death
Why do we need to buy graves and coffins Funeral expenses Ironic ain't it? broke but paying for misery And weddings too Who told you that shaft is yours? Beware the mail man cometh And your best friend Your wife will come too Maybe you won't make her She might not want to If life is a ***** Who is pimping her? If you decide to take your misery to church the pastor will eat your misery, money and daughter in your bedroom And you will pay for your sin One thing I like about University is daughters get ****** Yes, ****** hard Sons and daughters graduate with AIDS AIDS graduates too And we ululate Funny ain't it? Investing in misery Poetry is formless Enjoyable too My cannabis

What the ****
This now I decide to unleash thought onto this platform Through this poem And right now you inspire more Through the background music when you snore Your eyes and mouth are shut But only a minute ago that dragon mouth was spitting fire Lashing upon my beautiful innocent me Ridiculing, hurting, stabbing, shooting, crucifying You said 'pain demands to be felt' You overwhelm me with this cheap abundant commodity I guess thats why I love you Because now I can't sleep And you are deep in sleep Dreaming paradise Whilst I die of pain Your prescription, the concoction that you provide on an hourly basis I see the angel in you in your sleep I hope you come back a real angel But even if you were a daemon I would still love you Good night my love Let me rid myself to sleep too I tried reading myself to and failed to Good night my love

I am deceased with love For poetry's sake You are my Medusa And I your ****** Your piercing eyes solidify my heart And turn my love for you into stone Suffocate me with affection in our little gas chamber The Gestapo will keep intruders at bay Set me ablaze with madness Let my schizophrenia watch from behind with awe De-exorcise me from this angelic daemon LOVE Medusa lubricate our union with your venom I shall see to it that the Wehrmacht safeguard this treaty African queen of infinite tantrums ***** love and hair Ovid has already said that you are the jealous aspiration of many a suitor What more shall I want

My Love
This prison with no walls The mind is even too hot for thought to linger upon Creativity vanishes when the contents of the dustbin are emptied Hunger, lie and poverty The everlasting diet of this wall-less facility Noisesome ideology forcefed through the sphincter ani Mother ran away from the constant tantrums of the AK Forty seven men played that instrument and stole her dignity The music was too loud she said So she is still hiding six feet under Brother coughs a lot, spits a lot and is a skeleton of wonder What the hell? Where is heaven? Sons mistook for dustbins constantly being reclaimed by the grave This wall-less prison Trust is no more between husband and wife Men **** men and dog eat dog Mothers shun their wombs Vatican shut its doors Hell is contemplating too We dance to our heart beats, the only hope

Terminal illness
Here comfort is a pleasure But comfortably we cuddle and manoeuvre under this thorny blanket Belching fumes of hunger Recalling sad stories of the dead Humming to the tune of the machine gun Trading foul breaths But the soul shimmers with hope For one day we shall plant bullets and ARVs in the cemetry and harvest our lost brothers and sisters There shall be enough hope to fill our stomachs and cuddle again with the greiving orphan The warmth of our smile is our spear
