Grace
Khoisan Mar 2021
As
time slips away
images fade
what
once was green
somehow turns grey
live every minute
and
love each day
smile
snug a hug
embrace
life's face.

Weep
Khoisan Feb 2021
It took his resolve
a mere tear
to settle the drought
that lasted for years.
Don't be afraid
Even God's weep.

Burning Sage
Khoisan Nov 2019
A great teacher sets good examples,
allows you to stumble, and learns
from your mistakes, acknowledges
his own, sharing words that edify both.
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.

MUTE AS MONEY
Khoisan Jul 2018
The judge asked him to speak
All he kept on saying was
The money made me do it
The money drove me to it
The money did that
The money did this
Then the judge said looking at
The money infront of him
If you can  convince
This money to talk
I will set you free from all charges
He then looked at the pile of money
Crying profusely he said
Your honour
Don't you know....MONEY CANT TALK
The love for money (that is mute)is the root of evil

Bringing life

sharing light

Unfolding

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

Die son het geskyn oor die more
van ons mense,
terwyl die mis stilletjies inbeweeg oor hierdie toe nog rustige waters,
Ja wit skuim soos 'n skim
was met duisende
jare van ons voorvaders se rus en vrede verwelkom.
Met bloed van verwoerd het die wit skuim en die skim gesien hierdie paradys is vir hulle baie goed en met 'n spieel en versteekte dolk en drank
agter die kraag
ons"primatiewe volk" se gehee
sistematies
vertraag, belieg, omgekoop
verslaaf
verkrag
vermoor
ultemiet
ook
soos 'n dwaas
heeltemal
verplaas.

Die son skyn oor die more
van ons mense terwyl die mis
stilletjies uitbeweeg oor hierdie
onrustige waters, honderde jare
van marteling kan jou brein so
KONDISIOENEER,

met
hulle leuns
BEKEER

REGEER.
Skrik wakker my mense
dit het tyd geword
om braaf terug te veg vir ons

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.

Where parallels collide  
one wallowing
in the wind
one slipping from the sun
suffering in vain
swarms over the eclipse
where love
survives over pain
butterfly and moth
are best
left alone
flying in the rain.
Today I saw a butterfly.
flying in the rain
what an inspiration
a miracle me thinks?
#trancending adversity

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.

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

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
