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.

Drug addicts often
go to the extreme of extortion
beautiful kids
gets really messed up
and hurt themselves so bad just to get money and sympathy from their loved ones
while the drug merchant prosper
Don't get me wrong it is as well attempts of reaching out for help
in really extreme cases these kids
needs serious rehab.

The catcher in the web
Khoisan Jul 2019
The
whites

remain at a tilt
on the conscience of a child.
The catcher in the web
retain the illusion on the net
the mask of evil is hugely evident
and money in the spank
makes this poem highly irrelevant.
Internet ******* modern day prostitution Addictive explicit a plague of human dignity
the worlds oldest profession freely available
what about the mind of the innocent child.

Today's fortune
Khoisan Aug 2018
Fortunately I don't know
When it's my time
So I forgive and forget
Even myself without regret
I live for today tomorrow's
Far away
A smile on good mornings
With children I play
I do the dishes
Although I'm a little bit grey
A smile to the neighbour
Of sunbeam displayed
I sometimes say bad stuff
Grumpy dismayed
But do not repeat it I'm so afraid
For in this great moment
We call today
There's only one chance
And this I will say
My time or yours
Will be remembered
As sunshine or rain

You are our daily bread

Our beloved child
Khoisan Jul 2019
To the young ones who have been taken from us? I write about all things beautiful for there is many that cross the sky of life.
love does exist for me, only if I can as well see time as a sign an opportunity, to find, as a part of my design, to free the blood of my inner child, is to live, love, write and protect the beauty of the innocent child.

Sometimes our expectations

instead of being content
until the right moments arrive
too late too little never enough
bury our patience and loses

How your words inspire so many to hold on to what we've got to love and respect our partners all the way.
Bless you Johnny always.

Khoisan Jul 2018
You play an integral part in the
Blueprint of creation
From the beginning until the end
God is relentless in his persuit to
Bring you back to him
Never mind what you do
Right or wrong
The only thing that God won't
Interfere with is your free will
To choose.
Forever under the shadow of his mighty wings
You are all included in
God's Infinite Bucket List
There is no greater love

Khoisan Jun 2019
I looked up at mother nature, holding her hands, standing on her toes, facing
the rain, listening to the wind, hearing her chant and the clouds disappeared the flowers chased after the sun and the sound of her voice cleared the fear, at the drop of a tear, into my ear, into my heart, into my soul, singing, we are the moon, we are the tide, we are the one, we are the world.
