Sage of the past.
Khoisan Mar 2022
I remember
the deserved reprimand
it reminds me
of the dearly departed
my mother and my dad
thus
I thankfully treasure
the unreachable hand
rebuke
the unteachable mind.

A Russian roars
hate is unfair in love and war
Buildings

some die as others scrawl

God turns to the moon
the
reaper gathers clout
and
the little devil
laughs

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 conceptual love

Charred scarred or burned

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

A
text
a
call

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
on the inside
weak as a single strand
on the outside
I won the race for life
in the first place
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
shut your eyes

He "once" had a girlfriend
who loved wearing
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,

doesn't mean
you have to live in pain,
show yourself
live your happiness
"never" doubt,

let them
taste your salt!!!

A Great grandma's Memoirs.
Khoisan Dec 2021
His love
lived in my eyes
ups and downs
little white lies
we played joy
well after dark
knickers around
his twisted toes
a gentle pose
inside
my scented rose
he held me tight
by the band
on my hand
peace and one love
is a song he sang
my hallelujah's
I sing
to his soul
I still hear
his heart beat
heaven behold.

Autumn Child.
Khoisan Nov 2021
You were raised without praise
where storms are the norm
catch
the wind
that crosses the tide
trudge the dread and take that stride
break the violence
where curses were built
Satanic crutches
fells the mind
crave wisdom that fleeces the foe
stretch the sinew
and grow
your
... spine...
dream the dream
leave hate behind
and
refrain from crime
brown leaf
Pray!!!
stay alive
in this bright future
you
were born
to
survive.

Die son het geskyn oor die more
van ons mense,
terwyl die mis stilletjies inbeweeg oor hierdie toe nog rustige waters,
Ja wit skuim soos 'n skim
was met duisende
jare van ons voorvaders se rus en vrede verwelkom.
Met bloed van verwoerd het die wit skuim en die skim gesien hierdie paradys is vir hulle baie goed en met 'n spieel en versteekte dolk en drank
agter die kraag
ons"primatiewe volk" se gehee
sistematies
vertraag, belieg, omgekoop
verslaaf
verkrag

ultemiet

soos 'n dwaas
heeltemal
