In realms of the elite.
Khoisan Apr 2022
In realms of the elite
Soaring with the gods,
the crow
fell from the sky,
two moons slithered
under fig leaves,
the serpent initiated
losing their religion.

The latest quo
Khoisan Apr 2022
From put-in with love
let's rook the world.
Khoisan Apr 2022
Wrong crowd empty cup
she dipped her toes
in the wrong throes
tumbling like a lost kite
head-spinning
blinded by the height,
the eyes have vision
but this naive girl
had compromised her sight,
abandoned and disgraced
catching the twenty-two
in-between
a rock and a hard place.
Unseal your own drinks
pour your own cups
and scrutinize all meals
you have the right
to be careful.

Shadows of the shallow.
Khoisan Apr 2022
Darkness follows
me along the wall
I see its eyes
in the mirror my life
as a smokescreen
across the shallow
these treaded halls
garnish gallows
is it

or is it
noon
centrally marooned
one step away
too late too soon
my partner for life
one of us
is gonna be doomed

Finding Hello
Khoisan Feb 2022
Yesterday
I took a walk in the park
found Hello
but she refused to play
I saw the heartbeat, of Helios
lofty heels horses kick
but nothing came my way
the sunflower
dropped its head
the nightcrawlers fled
I scratched my head
yet hello had nothing
left to say
On the night of mares
with no place to let
drafted to death
I mean a man is a man
a woman needs her love
talking heads
meet and treat
love doves,
only happen
after hey.

The Cartography of being.
Khoisan Jan 2022
[ A
straight line is the shortest distance between
two
points ]

A
text
a
call
even!!!
a
dream

does my soul
suit
the
demographic
of
your being

are we
two of a kind
do we
share the same heart

are we
closer in person
even!!!
poles apart

In our quest to find a soulmate
Do we tread
a
crooked line
How are we as individuals
positioned
in
the
Cartography
of being.

Strong as the chain of my DNA

weak as a single strand
on the outside
I won the race for life

still I need your shoulder
to be sure
I'll give you mine anytime
even now feeling
I may have drawn
the shortest straw
strands ain't strings
and yours
could be wrong.

Copper-tone shades.
Khoisan Dec 2021
He often wondered
do you cheat
when you close them
copper-tone shades

He "once" had a girlfriend

copper-tone shades
got to thinking
her eye might have been bullets.

Christmas Crescendo
Khoisan Dec 2021
When a leading star
cast a ray of hope
on a manger
where a mother
birthed love
by pain and tears
there Santa appears
before dawn
where the child was born.
For whatever reason you may not like Christmas this child was born especially for you.

Strange wisdom.
Khoisan Dec 2021
It is in the darkest time
of the world
that we seek
to find the light,
they are in the shadow
of our gifts
spoken or given,
say hello
share a smile
or give a hug,
we need to embrace
strange wisdom
simple expressions
of a word
called L💖VE.

Lot
Don't stagnate
"never" look back,
your salt!!! must flow
into the river, cutting grain
opening veins,
it sounds insane
but here's the jist,
just because
life is hard
doesn't mean
you have to live in pain,
show yourself
live your happiness
"never" doubt,
hate>in<love out
let them
taste your salt!!!
