Retreat ageing body
do as it does,
never say die
or admit defeat,
count your beads
' "ID" the pearly gates.
TLC is
what it offers
it's all that it needs.
[Oh sweet soul show me the way
oh sweet soul I need you today
and I pray that you
will forever set me free]

Deep cuts.

Let it seep in
the voice about my skin
when I lost your ears
my scars began to sing
#Deepcuts has a voice
Khoisan Apr 28
Poured measured and forged
mistakes debates
fears and many years
Son of a Son to a Son
tempered
to remember
assembled
never
dismembered.
I am the blacksmith
you are the sword
a father not your lord
God plexed tenacity
steel tempered capacity
every boy deserves favour
my time is gone
be bold stay strong
love ad's character to labour.

From [Farr] to Khoisan
Khoisan Apr 28
If we might have a second chance
to live the days once more,
and rectify mistakes we've made
to even up the score.

If we might have a second chance
to use the knowledge gained,
as fine as God ordained.

Though we can't retrace our steps
however stands the score,

tomorrow brings another chance
to try once more.

✌️&1❤️.

No stranger to dope
fleeting social emotions
soul-tied to coke

Fork tongues.
Khoisan Mar 29
When things go awry
and forked tongues clash
it feels like lightning
striked the trash.
Khoisan Mar 29
I thoughtfully write
these unscrupulous thoughts
I first write to myself
for I do not know them
as well as I know me
in the hope that you
(the people I target)
shall abandon
your clandestined

Inking thunder.

Quills in a quiver

lite as a feather
inking

Thunder occur as lightning strikes
darkness exposed

pen-dipped

can feel the darkness
encrouch upon my loveness

my mind wonders off

I

I
want to take you
there
simply turn on the light
if you think
this is
a
nightmare

Look upon light as overwhelming darkness

We are not Flawless

Neither are we Lawless

Am
I
the
fool
the user
and the mule
lost in the soul
of a dead man's shoes
with the burden of being
a
useless excuse,
my existence hangs onto a ledge
am I a silhouette
he'll bent
on
smoking
the last cigarette
or
the triumph
of
pieces
someone will collect
am
I
falling into the ignorance
of
neglect
someone catch me please
I
cannot rely

Poets of the Morrow.
Khoisan Feb 12
Pen stained pockets
rusted mechanical sockets
rockets rockets rockets,
disappearing dockets
poisoned arrows
chains and sprockets
dead doves deadly sparrows
the fluke of the pharaohs
a poets word and carol,
one quill recovers the file
eclectic eagles
blood bone and marrow.
