32/M/South Africa Just someone who's carrying a lot of people's baggage. I'm of average height, with broad wet shoulders and a good ear.
Breathe, take deeper breaths Organs are shutting down now To the Golden Gate!

Goodbye?
Thin top wide brimmed Flowing white dress with high heels Like custard jelly

Time waits for no man But when I first saw your smile My world exploded

Love
The sun dies as the night comes to start my day anew The glistening tears threaten to fall Twinkling; thrumming on taut sinew Grey define my mood It foams and rolls, it toils and crawls Again the thunderous sound Again regretfully it sounds The stable seas unleashed A cry carried on the wind In the deafening crash I seem to hear the sound of my heart break

My Dao
I exist at a depth, beyond wallowing and sorrow Where No emotion could reach, except love But love has betrayed me, love has left me strewn and sown; Haphazardly, irretrievably, sown I stand now, not broken.. unfixed, Unhinged.. from pain, from grief Removed from tears, my heart; a sieve that is unwanted by love, undesired by it. Though it dwells in me it spares me no thought. Though I have reached out, I am held down like Atlas The tension is unbearable, tearing; at the self-inflicted knots, caverns of solitude Pits of loneliness Left unsaid, is the hurt Gnawing at the pillars that once held, carried the burning torch that lit up my soul I am undone, I am alone.. I am alone

Dissociation
the sparkling song, now lost while standing on the threshold of sadness a happy heart, now forbidden I say goodbye to beloved days together the cold claw of deepest sorrow press my heart tender the tear drops, streams me down oh, the moaning of the child hurts the twisting voice and shining laughter the wisdom in her voice I miss it so much, her warm hand what rubs so over my chin call me, then? I so long to see you again to spend time, just us together call me, I'm coming on foot I bring heaven

Threshold of Sadness
die sprankel lied, nou verlore terwyl ek op hartseer se drumpel staan n blye hart, nou my verbode sê ek totsiens aan geliefde dae saam die koue klou van diepste smart druk my hart teer die traan druppels, stroom my af ai, die gekreun van die kind maak seer die kinkel stem en glansende lag die wysheid in haar stem dit mis ek só, haar warm hand wat vryf so oor my ken roep my, toe? ek hunker so om jou weer eens te sien om tyd te spandeer, net ons saam roep my, ek kom aan gestap die hemel bring ek saam.

hartseer se drumpel
I went to the hospital today My aunt suddenly fell sick Walking down the hospital halls My throat grew tight, my spit, thick An old man lay dying On an hospital bed Wrapped in a ***** No pillow for his head His eyes were the worst So empty and sad Was he regretting his life? All the fun he once had. Or the love that he lost Was he once a married man Was he wishing to return To when his life first began Even now I can't sleep As I remember the frown When he tucked in head As the nurses did rounds Did he need anything Was he bearing the pain All the joy having left his hollow remains I wish I didn't go there To visit my Aunt As I struggle to sleep While that old man haunts

Haunt
Is it any wonder They are jealous of your strength You bleed every month And have met with death Though you fear May shed a tear And your voice may sometimes shake When you decide to speak It's an earthquake They struck you once And hit flesh They struck again and bled to death One thing they remembered in shock You strike a woman, you strike a rock It's sad to see, my own gender Degrade the one that birthed us It's no wonder, they have lost faith in us

No faith
Tired of my heart bleeding Children walking on shells The air keeps whistling I glance up at the red sky Fire eyes Baby, please stop crying Bye A Belfast breakfast Hold the sauce for now! Ka-plow? Do you want your burger rare sir?! The phoenix song A riff to die for No soul left behind
