Puppy love
Khoisan Sep 2018
I stumbled onto her
A remnant of purity
Hybernating
In the warmth of my soul
The gentle embrace of
A most precious memory
Called puppy love
Remember that's where it all started

Be her Picasso
Khoisan Jul 2018
I reached into the windows
of her Soul

Dripping pastels found my fingertips

Etched by soft caress

Stroking gently

I Painted a beautiful rainbow
Around her forgiving heart
Tears of joy as we find peace and love in forgiveness
685 · Jul 2021
Heaven knows
Khoisan Jul 2021
My soul feeds off my heart
and my heart needs people
to love only heaven knows
"Doves from Crows"
so even if you hate me
forgive me knowing
I already forgave you.

Smart moves
Khoisan Jan 2021
I'd be rushing in
and brimming over,
we'd kick it
as much as we can
tattoo our names
into the totem of the gang,
yeah things break
down quickly
and if you don't
find yourself there,
you won't find yourself anywhere,
momma always
jokingly said
your friends will
be the end of you,
she was right
and the grin on her face
was the inspiration
around smart moves

you are your best, best friend

if momma never told you so
I just did.

Funeral crashers
Khoisan Aug 2019
Where mothers wail,
family, friend, and foe
gather in last respect
and jovial sadness,
greeted by whiskey and tea, in the aftermath of moths wearing black vails, stepping on flytrap petals,
walking down the aisle of the pallbearers wedding.

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

Cul-de-sac
Khoisan Mar 2019
The moon speaks in glyphs
on the faces of young girls,
where miracles tear
at their souls,
rescue is nigh and
ignorance is bliss.
in the dead end of the red carpet
selling flowers hustling for gold.
Prostitution
These are all kids caught up in the crossfire of circumstances some rarely make it out OK!

Like
potpourri
in
an open jar
one
could smell the fragrance
a
colourful embrace
of
what once

colourless
A place where our families
Were forcefully removed by the
Apartheid regime
A place where every race
Of every culture
Lived together in harmony
Recently some of the ex residents got restitution some will also
Receive property

Save the Vulture (Haiku)
Khoisan Sep 2018
There is a hot place
Where stuffed vultures dare to fly
The sun melts wax wings
Of the 23 vulture specicies 16 are critically
Endangered or on the brink of extinction
These beatiful birds of prey play a vital role
In ecosystems most of them suffer because of human errors lead poisoning is one of the main causes of their decline
Please help spread awareness these birds are in many ways misunderstood and stigmatised

And testing the waters an even better option

A new dawn
Khoisan Oct 2018
He noticed the diminishing light
Unafraid He steps into the rushing rapids he wades in beneath the dreary depth
Engulfed heavy laiden he trudges toward the dark torment of the
Everlasting abyss following the skylight and the torch on the hand of the berieved garnishes hope
From within the light of the living
With a spirit of power in the blood
He overcame death emerging victorious
Releasing grace and life everlasting
A new dawn in this mournful age
Amen

She's
there
when the rain sets in
She
sees
rainbows ahead of the pain

or

when I'm blue
she's
the

partner
my

rescue
Our eyes cannot think still (she) is exposed to every possible emotion we experience
In the way that we ease our emotions when we cry amazing isn't (she) how it partners with the soul

Plight of the dreamcatcher.
Khoisan May 2022
I don't ponder
as much as I wonder
is it worth a revelation
do the mind sleep
shut-eye
in the folds of its keep,
are souls
pure beings
devoid of any
role?
half-night,
half-light
half love,
half-life
visitors of the fifth kind?
instilled within
the sinews of our mind.

Vanity of Vanities
Khoisan Aug 2018
From the colloseum of
vanity

His opaque desecrated
Light

Eluded her sanity

Locked onto venom lips

The ghost from his mouth

Burnt a hole in her soul

And then It swallowed them whole
Vanity a boring and pointless perception
Please be careful of that pitfall
