Suffocate Me
Coliwe Dec 6
What you do to me must be recorded,
Written in books, never to be forgotten.
The crimes you commit are wordless—
Unspoken pleasure carved into my soul.

Your thrusts, deliberate and powerful,
Are the only thing that makes my eyes well,
Blinding me with bliss, anchoring my world—
Nothing matters but this.

Immerse me, envelop me in your arms.
Drown me in the melody of your voice,
In the symphony of your brilliance and calm.
Tuck me away in the safety of your grasp,
For with you, I am home.

For you, To me
Coliwe Dec 4
I finally write this poem for you
For you who feels me without touch
For you who understands me without comprehension
For you who hears me when no else can

I finally dedicate a poem to you
To you who tries even when she knows she should stop
To you who is chained by the shuckles of 'what ifs?'
To you who endlessly hopes til the point of insanity

I finally want to appreciate you
For me, I will start taking up space
To me shall I write love letters to
For me, I will start giving the same compassion
To me, the only one who knows the true depth of my being?

The Chase
Coliwe Dec 3
I'm in love with the idea of what we could have been,  
Clinging to the dream of us as a team.  
In my eyes, I've tried and tried,  
But to fit your own narrative,  
In your eyes, I’ve failed every time.  

I proved and I proved—look at me, I'm here!  
But you only want me halfway, while I crave you near.  
I did the tricks, I spoke the truth,  
Yet here I stand, at the end of my youth.  

So I'll take my bow and quietly retreat,  
Finding strength in the pain, in my defeat.  
I'll release the "what could’ve been,"  
And embrace the truth I chose to ignore but should've seen.

Only with you
Coliwe Dec 2
Only with you do I want to share intricate moments
Only with you do I want to showcase my movements
Only with you do I want to experience the turmoil of Romeo and Juliet
Only for you will I suppress my urges, not now, not now, not yet

I want you, the pinnacle of my desires
I want you to do as you please, have me rewired
Every bliss I feel, let it be you, it's maker
Every storm I feel, let it be you that calms it, my peacemaker.

Only with you do I want to fold and be at ease
Only for you will I give a tireless love that never cease
Only with me do I want you to spend your time
Only be yours as I have made you mine

My heart's keeper
Coliwe Dec 1
The you before now
The you that cared
The one who was intrigued
By my mind and wanted to know how
The you that was willing, that wasn't scared
The you who endlessly tried, without fatigue

My hearts keeper is that man
Not the one who conflicts his verbiage with actions
Not the one who put on a show when I'm near

The one who does everything he cans
Who doesn't need convincing, one without confusions
The one who wanted everything to be crystal clear

He is my hearts keeper
Not the man I lie next to
Coliwe Nov 30
Only to you
do I want to share the fragile whispers of my hidden dreams.
Only with you
do I long to share my solitude—
to bare my soul,
to give my all.

I haven’t met you yet,
but still, I wait.
My impatience has worn me thin,
has carried me here,
to this quiet ache of missing you—
a stranger.
Coliwe Nov 27
As a new born clenches to its mother's *****
I too tend to clench on the tenderness of love you give
Or rather I think you give and know I feel

As I did so freely once before
A love like this I still yearn
I still miss her til this day
The girl who loved so freely
Or should I say, so naively

Her love I miss
The tenderness of the petals and the ****** of the it's thorns
She is the love I know
The love I wish still existed

You seem like such a distant image
A far away destination
Will I find you again?
One day I hope I do
Coliwe Nov 27
As a newborn clings to its mother’s *****,
I cling to the tenderness of love—
Or the illusion of it you seem to give,
The warmth I think I feel.

Once, I loved so freely.
A love unguarded, unscarred,
But now I yearn for that girl—
The one who dared to embrace the petals
And endure the thorns.

Her love I miss,
Fragile yet fierce, fleeting yet full.
She was the love I knew,
The love I wish still bloomed.

But you feel like a distant echo,
A mirage beyond my grasp.
Will I find you again?
One day, I hope I do.

Love story
Coliwe Nov 27
I'll hide, I'll hide
I'll crave, I'll crave
I'll yearn, I'll yearn
I'll let go, I'll let go

Just to come back
I hate thinking about it because it shows what I lack

Hold my rose and I'll hold yours
Let's make it a beautiful love story

Zeus - The fraud
Coliwe Nov 23
Great and mighty you claimed to be
And in this, in you, I believed
A savior from the love I know
Be me and the love that I hold
I can finally show

But all a lie it turned to be
How couldn't I see that Hades
Is who you'll turn to be
A trick, a lie, a mirage
A trick, a foony, a facade

Well I've decided, in Zeus I shall no longer be in need
For comfort in me, I shall seek.
No longer will I scour for a god
For I will be my own strength, my own gaurd.
Coliwe Nov 23
You have sailed me in the direction you found best fit
You rode my calms and concluded this was the voyage best fit
So changed directions and went left
Even in that I tried to make your ride cleft

That displeased you too, so aloof is how you set to be
You became frustrated with your confusions
Blamed it on me that you have went astray
You threw your rocks at me and screamed that I'm the one so blame
You don't want me but the fish I provide you still want to take

But my currents have had it
I'm sick of your weight that I need to carry
So now this is where I turn
You curse my calms so I'll bless you hurt
I'll make you feel the vigor

I'll throw the boulders you once threw
I'll take you down deep and show you
How cruel I can be
I'll overwhelm you with my being

No more will you experience the calmness I was gave
Feel me, feel the wrath you once gave
I am the Ocean, your source of gain
But quickly I can turn to your source of pain
Coliwe Nov 23
You charted my waters as you saw best,
Rode my calms, claimed it was your test.
But you turned left, leaving me bereft,
Even then, I tried to make your journey cleft.

That displeased you too; aloof, you became,
Frustrated by confusions you couldn't name.
Blaming me for the course you chose to stray,
Yet still, you take my gifts while casting me away.

But my tides are done bearing your weight,
I’m sick of your burdens, your fickle state.
So now, I'll rise, no longer meek,
You cursed my calm; now feel what I speak.

I'll hurl the boulders you once threw,
Drag you down deep, and show you too
The cruel depths of my storming heart—
Overwhelm you, tear you down and apart.

No more will you know the peace I once gave,
Now feel the wrath of my vengeful wave.
I am the Ocean, your lifeline, your bane—
I can gift you life, or drown you in pain

Bliss-ing
Coliwe Nov 21
I didn't mean to trigger the alarm but it seems that I have
I didn't mean to raise suspicions - I guess it's in who I am, my bad
But why won't you let yourself go, Why won't you let yourself indulge?
You have a thirst that is never quenched I can tell by that bulge

You are the colour in my grey
You are the unicorn lighting my way
You are a blessing in disguise
You are the reason for the bliss-ing in my eyes

The torment of you
Coliwe Nov 21
Allow me to unravel the symphony in your mind, 
Pickpocket the treasures buried deep within it's mines.
Let me hear the whispers you veil in silence,
Entrust me with what another made you guard in defiance.

Let me to do to you, what you do to me
Let me be the spark igniting your mental chemistry
May your labyrinth twist with the force of my imagery,
Let the spells you've cast be your own
Let the torment you cause be shown
May the heavens return to you what you've done to me

My Endless Echo
Coliwe Nov 21
You searched the world and claimed my soul’s compass to colonize,
But I beg you—dismantle your camp; my strength is gone, can’t you realize?
The raspy melody of your chords,
Etched deeply in the fibers of my desires.
The kindness of your tongue, a trap in my core,
While your wisdom carves a space I can only admire.

Ecclesiastes One
Coliwe Sep 14
Ecclesiastes one  

These thoughts, these feelings I thought I was the only one  

  

I remember when there was a time when I could breathe out carbon dioxide and breathe in oxygen  

I remember a time when the world shone so brightly but that was way back then  

I remember when the world felt alive  

Full of  possibilities, wonder, and a reason to live  

  

Ecclesiastes one  

It's neigh, it neigh, your time shall come  

  

Be patient and get through it for what reason; I guess it's meaningless too  

I've searched, and I found that the only reason to do this is for you  

But why me, Find someone else; I don't have the strength to pull through  

People always go without reason or cause; why can't I be one of them too?  

  

Ecclesiastes one  

Hurry up, hurry up, speed it up so that it can all be said and done
