South by Southwest
It might be painful
It might be disdainful
It might be lightning
It is so frightening
Could be the thunder
That has my number
It could be Jesus knocking
concerned about my mocking
It could be my future
or my lack of culture
It could be those fried reasons
maybe it's Jackie Gleason
It could be the hollow
that always seems to follow
me into the night
so black without any sight
It could be a light
from my star at height
tumbling through the heavens
or bread that is unleavened . . .

All I know is it just happened
while I was here just napping
Have you ever suddenly realized a truth that just comes out of the blue .

Angels follow me around all day
how they must sigh relief
when I finally lay down to *sleep
Lethabo Dec 2016
today I lost my drawings,
I lost my voice

And until then
silence shall scream
at my ears, begging me
for freedom!

I am scared,
lonely,
and cold

today I lost myself,
AGAIN.
Notes (optional)
Lethabo Sep 2016
Tell me you love me
Tell me when you miss smelling my hair that is half of the time sticky

Don't hesitate to touch me
Let your fingers travel down my spine then around to my belly button
Get my hairs up and my thighs shaking by just looking at me
Be foolish with babe, get your silly faces up my throat till I want to choke out of laughter...

Make me beg you to sing twinkle twinkle for me at midnight, then close it off with the song that says THAT'S HOW STRONG MY LOVE IS...
Together lets be scientists, write a theory on teenage love saying...
Butterflies in your tummy are directly proportional to the sight of your boyfriend/girlfriend, with foolishness, laughter, happiness, honestly and beauty of the soul as a constant measured in ♡beats/s!

Be my go to guy for kitchen robbery and 5 hours naps.
Don't fear to tell me about my ****** appearance, I want to hear it from you especially...I want you to tell me about my pimples and how I look like your grandma when I wake up!

Tell me who you are
I'll tell you who I am
And let's let us tell its own story...
Lethabo Sep 2016
Time to move on
The feelings are too strong
The bond is stronger
And our voices together in laughter like soft summer rain...

I want to leave
I want to be alive again
In your soft lips I drown in thought
Your eyes pierce straight into mine
But this is all a lie

While I struggle to scratch you out
You think of her
Then you close your eyes
Kiss me
Touch me
In your mind I'm her

But I'm not
I am me
Can't you see?
I'm done with us
...just for now

We kiss and greet
Laugh and feel
We slowly moving away
From being...
JUST FRIENDS

Under the sun
Glass of wine in one hand
We chat our lungs away like we mothers of no sons

She's way cooler
I'm warming up
It's the beginning of a countless number of never heard before laughs...
We don't reside here even!
This place of light and happiness...
We from the dusty side of town, where darkness is the new definition of light.

Its never about the struggle
But the new ways around the obstacles along the way.
She goes on and on...
My cerebrum isn't responding.
And the eye finds an opportunity to focus its retina on her smile

Beauty isn't within
It has found its way all over us, inside and out!
There's happiness
Hope and love.
Grandma said that's all that matters!
