The kissing booth.
Khoisan Apr 2023

of two birds kissing for day's

a picture of what could've been

Khoisan Apr 2023
The tears on her face
brought me to my knees,
sometimes
in a soul's search
the

can also purge
to
embrace and understand
the
unrequited
love
between
a
woman
and a man.
Without a doubt

Nostalgic empathy.
Khoisan Apr 2023
Tossed back and forth
inside
the age old bowl
love

miffing muffs, powder-**** puffs.
It hurts,

well knowing
the dealers hand played
then
and
the forever after
years.

Christian Mary.
Khoisan Apr 2023
When the tide rises all ships are raised
it was fundamtally
mother Mary's call.
When boats fell
from standing tall
it's captain took the fall,
who laid hands
on such innocence
who took a stand
albeit a woman
a child
or a man,
is the ocean too deep
and the river too wide
are we as a people
afraid of the fault
caused by crimson tides,
who are we praying for?
Jesus rose when he died
where She humbly stood for
nations to rise.

for the colour of blood
are we hinged on Icarus wings

Beach-bum.
Khoisan Mar 2023
A fossil rocks on the beach
alcoholic breath
with dynamic speech
the question was your dad
I must have meant T rex
the devil of that era
her mom lit up her eyes
died too early hurly burly
Rex got rash
drank whisky and smoked hash
he turned mean
she turned blue
like Monday's trash
ran away after eighteen
a cycad on the waterfront
telling true stories
a message ON the bottle
slamming at full throttle.

Skulls under candlesticks.
Khoisan Mar 2023
Molten wax
on candlesticks
deep
there my head
toppled
for you my sweet,

keeps me awake
while your beauty sleeps,
are we dead men living
under the torment
of a captor's keep
for a honeycomb
laced with nectars
bitter weep.

Defected.
Khoisan Feb 2023
It was mid winter
I paled in comparison
I'd say walk away
it is harrowing
the thought
if having stayed
after all
it was just me
on bad days
it is summer now
the mirror reflected
when I defected.

Vagabond pokes.
Khoisan Feb 2023
Stitches
and punchlines
satanic
lies
from majestic quotes,.
And
there I lost it
shades of
vanity
shards in the mote
on
I prodded
on
I poked
me
myself
and
my
narcissistic jokes,.
Untill
my water broke,
hibernated beneath
this
opaque plastic gloat
in
a
rippled mirror
cracked up
and
ruefully smoked.
True story
I once knew a guy who had 12 kids amongst 4 different wives
none of the children really got to know him neither did his wives called himself a rolling stone and that's how this father never a Dad died.

You are always on my mind.
