Love letters of a different kind,
I
read you and you read mine
maybe? we haven't
posted for quite a while,
your mind
strikes thunder
my heart mints your words
like
soulmates
even
lovebirds,
for all our fears
there
is
a
reason
winter, spring, summer, or fall
they
are
all
seasons
family blocks,
trees, not treason,
one of us two of an eye.
we are all.,

Braving - Tanka
Khoisan Nov 2022
Braving half bludgeoned

her skin mended the deep scars

freedom takes courage

strapping boots and walking tall

leaving the monsters behind.
Khoisan Oct 2022
Take me back to that boat on the river

where innocence doesn't hide
risk wears a sleeve
and fear quickly dies.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the meek makes brave
and danger is kept
in its shallow grave.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the rapids grow wild
and life lives carelessly
through the eyes of a child.

He
was the architect,
first admiring others
took heed
and
designed
his
own,
the proudest moment
was,
when it took flight.
I
could hear my heartbeat
tugging away
at
his
  kite.

Date raped
Khoisan Oct 2022
Meaningless?
it was only my hair that strangled the fabled tower.
You demanded my soul,
and what you called a mans meal
was a monstrous ordeal,
I die every day,
since that day,
the day I bled.

Children are devine.
Khoisan Oct 2022
Cruel fell from the sky
even the midwives
left us then, to die.
Black-eyed battered beauty
a withered wick
on a burning stick
I made a choice
the child my duty
tiny eyes a crying delight
I kept the baby
I followed her/his light.

Everybody came from somebody
came from God came from Mary.

Threading
into
the
skin around my soul
It

joyfully visible
the

that they mend,
my eyes ride the glow
as
the
needle flows,
tattooed
palpability
bereft of demons,
I
let go.

My soul looms
Khoisan Sep 2022
Something had died
you were wide-eyed and beautiful
I still remember your smile
so innocent and wild
what happened
where are the wings of that child
I am not blind
though my heart is broken
my feelings are fine
my soul looms
for you are always
on my mind.

none
really stave the cane
Still, here we are

The unseen.
Khoisan Jul 2022
She was never blind
neither unkind
she soothed their screams
and ran with their dreams
she wrote of hurt
only in the arteries
of her heart
feel the silence
like red roses speak of love
her eyes bleed in braille.
You will pale
in comparison
of your
hurt vs her
pain
No matter what
mamma loves you
and that's her end game.

a light at the end of time
