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

On that particular sunny day
I looked in the mirror
and saw a rainy day
embracing the silver lining
behind me stood the love
I had saved up for
touching my hair
and gently stroking the grey
Her love outshines the grey

Sick,

behold the wobbling blue sky,
the boat rocks,
my rod drops,
I fall overboard
elated.

Many are the vagrants who roam
The streets of my mind
They knock on the ceiling of my scull
As I ponder their plight
Restlessly climbing into my human emotions
Taring at the twines that bind us together
As they mercifully hold on to the strings
Frantically crying out
Please forgive us... forgive us
And I did
We all make mistakes and sometimes craves forgiveness

People will have their opinions,
disturbingly
here we are miles apart,
concurrent
living under moss
mowing another's grass,
a tumultuous blast.
Love

Rainbow umbrellas

Serendipitous magic

Wildebeests buffet
The population of 1.5 million Blue wildebeest followed by 700-000
other species in search of food sources
This is a perfect self sustainable ecosystem
and a massive carbon link.

Then at noon
where I am one

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

Where paths cross people meet
some stay over for a while

some staved the cane

Humans travel the world on soulless

Molten wax

while your beauty sleeps,
are we dead men living

for a honeycomb
laced with nectars
bitter weep.

Placid
lake of love
I want to drift
into your heart
closer and closer
to your soul
deep into you
slaked
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.

Hang thy neighbour

I sing the seagulls tune
I fly beyond the horizon
And the gloating moon
I dive into the depth
Of the salty swoon

Sweeter than wines bitter regret
Higher and higher far from the net
A Fisher man's blade has no respect
I take my fair share this I know
But stripping the ocean a big no no

The coral is damaged the drag is a creep... abalone can't run they'd much rather weep
The poor whales a whoop
With sharkfin tales in China soup

So make up your mind
Or am I wrong
Then help me to sing
The seagulls song
The Ocean is being ***** by illegal fishing
And trawling

You lovely
There's a rainbow in your eyes
There's  no darkness
That surround you
Even in the rain you smile
You are beauty
There's a glow upon your face
Your heart is so amazing
It has tamed the beast in me
You alway's sing a love song
To make me see the truth
I wish I  had the power
To see myself in you
Dedicated to our beautiful dog
The little Jack Russell
SOPHIE some people say animals
Don't have souls well she certainly
Have lots of soul

The tears on her face
brought me to my knees,
sometimes
in a soul's search
the

embrace and understand
the

and a man.
Without a doubt

tomorrow should decay

Just like yesterday
When one knows
