Verlange / Yearning
Khoisan Jan 2023
Verlate gebroke hart
haar gesig staar verlam
net die liefde
hou vlam
tot-dan wag sy
in
vergange woude
gegrond op verlange.

Broken-hearted alone
her face a-glare of tragedy
a
slave to love
waiting on tinder
in
forests of decay
grounded on cinder.

I redrafted
myself many times
searching for the elusive post.
When I write I don't know why I keep challenging myself I guess writing must consider feelings not only ones own also the readers, poetry can hurt as well as it heals.

The catcher in the web
Khoisan Jul 2019
The
whites
of their eyes
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.

you will
find solace

Another toxic tale - Tanka
Khoisan Apr 2022
The humane big heart
defeats superficial fear

She won't grow rotten apples
just look at mamma the earth
What do we feed our mind body and soul?
in what state will she receive you back.

petals apart
ripped broken torn.

Khoisan Dec 2019
One very bright day,
the sun will melt
these frozen fragments, away,
where you will become one with her, loving her more,
a little while longer my friend
all the way.
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.

To a brand new day

God's Infinite Bucket list
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

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.
