A mother's prayer

Tasting salt
that
lost it's potency
where
sun burnt fingertips
don't retract
and
the
cold moon swallow men
at
night
You will find
knee caps swollen impervious

symbolic of white roses

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

I still remember the time
I felt immortal
I do remember the times
I am immortal
I believe in the dream
I am immortal
I do remember
what and everywhere
I am immortal
when and everywhere
I am loved
by the ones who loved me back.

The substitute
Khoisan Jun 2018
I saw Jezebel
And followed her ito the tombs of my pittyfull desire
I saw Jezebel
And opened up the fragile chamber of my beautiful heart
I saw Jezebel
And she ravaged the innermost parts of my tender soul
I saw Jezebel
And now my true love is but a mirage in the confines of my memory
I saw Jezebel
And now I'm stuck in the abyss with nothing but her ghost
for company
Deceit and desire be careful of that game

Tattoo
Khoisan Jun 2019
We needed the walls in our lives to break, we needed the people in our lives to be permanent, we needed the ocean with us on our journey, we needed a path for nature to be rediscovered, we needed love to be able to get recognition, we needed more than just to be tagged along like a place to paste the scars of graffiti, we needed this crazy thing we call skin to earn respect and we needed this to be called a universal trend.

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.

Burnt out matchsticks

Khoisan Nov 2021
Dear Mother
after you departed
I found my thoughts wanting
in the order of forgiveness
I refuse to hate in lieu of your view
as you looked after me
with only love in your heart.

Braving - Tanka

Monsoon lovers
Khoisan Aug 2018
Deep rivers run slow
Eyes met and tears flow
Calm unspoken passion
Loves unconditional ration
On top of the rainbow red
Petals of rose and incense in bed
Bridges built on labour and pain
Safe from trouble
Two lovers cuddle
Over and above the falling rain
Joyfull tears from loves endurance during life's
Tougher seasons

Unfolding

creases
WE
rode the rapids
and
cascading waterfalls
it
takes way more
than
fifty shades of gray
it
lives in every single moment
taking the oath
and
walking the way
I
love her much
just as
I
have loved her more
every single day
that
glory pinnacles every fray
as
the
twilight
attempts
to
in-gelid
the
grey
.
True loves cascading effects
and
Victory
For my wife
thank you, my Angel
