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.
friends or baggage

My mind always wonders off
Always  looking
For little morsels to feed off
Never satisfied with
The status quo
At least I'm learning
And I'm trying
Thanks guy's
For your patience
Maybe one day
I'll  send you a dollar
And you can send me a K ...lol
At least maybe a reactionary comment

Don't stagnate

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

let them
taste your salt!!!

Even if in reality it hurts so deep

We
fathom the winds

turning

to
God's word

living
in straits
of
life above
Valhalla
here
the
gift of  love

To all the poets/poetess and those to come

Khoisan Feb 2020
As they face another wall
my eyes are in a river
and my face a waterfall
I see children begging
in the street
I hear their hearts
can you feel the heat
a penny for your thoughts
please embrace the need
and attend to the beat
If at that moment you have to spare
apply the principle of giving God will
take care of the rest.

Are we poles apart

are we hinged on Icarus wings

Face the child.
Khoisan Jul 18
Search your soul
look inside it's eyes
once
young
now old
.
There
stands
a
mirror
barefoot in the past
trace
its steps
pick up the shards

mend the cracks

and
shield
the scars

from future wrath
.
Now
open your heart
share this
wisdom
and
make them stars

[I believe that children are our future]

do you cheat
when you close them

He "once" had a girlfriend
who loved wearing
copper-tone shades
got to thinking
her eye might have been bullets.
