Dear Ruler, how long is the word love? Is 30cm long enough to make her scream for more love?
Bra-Tee Jun 2014
Nobody knows how ICE feels like, coz everybody knows how COLD feels like. Its even alphabetically proven that LOVE doesn't start with a "K"iss; it starts with an "L". In other words, gravity is what attracks me the most; not you...

Standing in the rain, so you won't see me cry. Love is painful, I'm prepared not yet to die. Big warm jacket on, so you won't see me shiver from cold. I hide in the shadows, where the night has aged old. No one would ever find me here, unless if I scream.
If this is who I've become, then hide me from myself. I'm wearing these boxing gloves to hide what my nails did on the wall: and to myself...

Lazy candles, on a Chrismas-Eve cake. 50cents thoughts, for my pocket money. I am a well suited Poet. But my hand on your hips, and my lips on yours is all that I'm missing. I just saw you a couple of never's ago, and I would love to hold you for a couple of forevers more...

#And the day I'm allowed to kiss you in front of your parents; is the day I won't get shy to kiss you in front of those who are not your parents...

I read within a writer's book.
Don't let your eyes stare the page:
"Stone walls don't make prison,
And iron bars don't cage make!"

And those marble floors and walls of glass,
Will also never make Home.

Because only a house where Love abides,
And Friendship is guest.
Is surely home-sweet-home:
And place where the Heart can rest..

Street corners belong to women too...
Trust no one, even if they come in pairs...to convince you otherwise.

Maybe they-re just born that way, or maybe I'm just a good target that has enough goods to take-away, I took her number but she stole my phone...How the heck am I gonna call her?

******* inked on a human flesh. Girl, you should've been an Artist cause wherever your hands touch they leave a sting... And it's funny how things ended by You being the only One laughing at the end. Because I can promise you that if the moon would become broke, I'd pick up its pieces and stab you on the back...

...From the back because I heard that you love it from behind, its not because I'm a slacker, but its just that I don't mind coming second, trust me... Its better if you come first either in my life or in bed..

I came, I saw and watched the clock as it watches me watch it. ****! My grandpa was right; Nowadays with all these "DRUGS" and "DISEASES" walking around is the main reason why so many of our beautiful youth are filling the graves...

Either falling to fill the grave, or falling in love to fall pregnant...even if the disease came as honest as unsafe ***, "if she is a beauty" you'd never neglect it, like my Grandmother said... *** sells, but it Comes cheap and leaves at a very expensive price...it might take your health, or probably maybe your life...
Wrote this poem with my friend. I hope you like it

We sat by the beach until the night could take us home.
We traveled in a musk that only love could use our face to show.
I woke into your arms where it feels safer in your care.
And with you I shall share even till the last bread that I have.
Create in me a better Prince for the King that I was born to be...
O darlin, I hate to say this but: Everything has a bad side, even a goodnight...

From outside they look so happy, and satisfied for being a family. But inside those closed doors, hide scars that scratched the walls.
Mother is sick, and father drinks. Yet the window remains broken, where tonight the children will go sleep. The plates remain empty, before and even after the children said grace... Same old ****, but just a different page in the dairy...
When dad is sober, he loves, sings, hugs and joke. But when drunk, he swears, hits, kicks and poke.
Sick mother; goes to doctor's room. Drunk father; goes to daughters room.
When will this end!?(As daughter cries through the night) She is told to keep it a secret, cause what "Daddy" does is right...

Let's promote the things that bind us, and let go of the things that devide us.
Unconditional love comes with unconditional appreciation.

Dear *******

They say you are what you eat, so am I a nothing?

Nah never mind that: first of all, I'd like to thank you for ruining my life and making it a living hell, and for making me drop out of school too.

Thank you for making me distance myself from the people who beg me to stop using You. Thank you for making people fear that I might rob or hurt them and thank you for making me hate the police and act like I don't give a ****.

Thank you for making me not to believe in compliments and for making me think they're all just lies. Thank you for the illegal foreigners who bring you to my country and offer more drugs even to our pregnant women.  
Thank you for making me believe that I'm not myself when I'm sober. Thank you for not being so cheap and affordable.
Thank you for making my family so scared for my life. Thank you for turning my body into a junk yard.
Thank you ******* for giving me ideas to break in my neighborhood and steal flat screens and jewelry just so me and you can be together...

I think about you all the time, I hope you think about me too.
Yours truly

You got yourself a different girl with the same name. And you stole her innocents by making it rain. Perhaps your father was a magician; cause when you done using her, you're gonna disappear just like him.

Me: I cheat before I get the right girl.
But You: You get the right girl and then you cheat.

Where does it come from? This quest, this need to love someone more than one can love his own self?
Sometimes the simplest questions can never be answered...Like why do we cry? Why do we dream? why do we die? And why does it feel like God is not watching over us in times of grief?...

I'm making a conscious effort to think out of the Book. We focus too much on what could ever be, not much on what has ever was. In other words, history didn't start-off when the books said so... As if breathing life into a stone makes it live...

I sit in a restaurant, quietly drinking my wine...

I notice our waiter in his black & white clothes, His shoes were old and raggedy.
I think of him struggling to earn a living,
Surviving off the tips customers give him after serving their food and drinks...
And yet he is smiling.

I watch a 65 year old couple playful arguing about what to eat.
Surely They've been doing this for years cause the waiters greet them by name.
Aah, Love never grows old. *(Mr & Mrs Koekemoer)

I see a business man suited and booted. His always on the phone and always in a hurry. He spills some coffee on his white shirt.
Ag! He seems to be annoyed with himself...

Now I'm looking at this Girl in front of me. A cute yellow-bone with a mini-afro.
She has brown eyes and her lips are shining with cherry lip-gloss. Her smile can sink a thousand ships.
Wow, I'm happy around her.

But...

I notice the missing finger she tries to hide with her other hand. No poetry can describe thy brutality.
But still, she is WORTH it...
I wanna tell her this but I am too shy...
So, I smile at myself for being a coward. (coward, as I slowly drink the rest of the wine...)

I don't watch Wrestling... Coz I'm a lover not a fighter. If Valentine is near, I hope she likes them Red Roses. We all in the same picture, but we all got different Poses.
And If ever Two was One.. Then surely we are Two in One.. If ever Man was made to love woMan, then surely I was made to love thee. If ever Man is complete with a woman. Then next to thee is where I long to be.. I prize thy love more than gold mines of Gauteng. "Oh My" I'm in love, and I know not Why... And yet I shall love thee till the Seas run Dry....
#And if ever we are Two in One.. Then surely we don't need Three... Four, Five, Six etc

In the middle of the night, I met death at the kitchen: Having a glass of milk. I didn't wash them dishes, so death be not proud; for drinking out a ***** cup... Oh spare me death, my beef was not with thee; but with my own flesh...
Whilst by the stove,I feel the coldness u brought with. I jest for a favour,can you please have "Ubuntu" and hand me over the spoon so my lips can taste the sip of mercy? My cup runs over yet I never drink from it. Allow me this once to say my final prayer and vanquish my hunger with mothers mqomboti...tonight I met death inda kitchen.... No cookies for my milk!

I was born not understanding. Therefore I shall Die not the same way I was born. Life comes with experience and lessons. And Love becomes stronger when there's commitment and trust. So do not teach me how to love. But do try to appreciate the Wrongs and the Rights. Appreciate the good and the bad. For life is not For Sale. And Love is Key to no Door, but a key that can lock your heart and mine together...

#Therefore I was born not understanding. So don't let me love you, without understanding you...

Just because you're psychologically fit, doesn't mean you're financially fit. Just because you're financially fit, don't mean you're spiritually fit. Just because you're spiritually fit, don't mean you're politically fit. Just because you're politically fit, doesn't mean you're physically fit. Just because your physically fit, it don't mean you're emotionally fit..........

#Man, I'm so unfit...

He took a few cups of love, he took one table spoon of patience, three grams of generosity, one litre of kindness, two spoons of laughter and commitment, with a mixture of happiness, added lots of faith and support, stirred it very well wisely. Then he let everybody take a sip...

#‎And‬ that's how he took your woman...

Inhale and exhale 46664 times... My heart spent 27 years behind bars of my skinny ribs; I remember every inch of her Tibia and Fibula...

The Cold air from our long distance formed cracks inside my heart, luckily these cracks never developed large enough for you to escape. And if you did escape; I'd go standing in the Kalahari desert tracing your every step back to the exact tile where the first syllables from our mother tongue has made the Click. "QuQuQaQa" what if our past was written on stone by feathers of an ostrich? The same ostrich who ate the seeds from our forefathers now growing inside his stomach...

Come to think of it, education is borrowed knowledge. It gives one the edge to know and perhaps understand the social circle by others opinion, perspective or point of view...
Education doesn't guarentee WISDOM cause WISDOM doesn't come from the best universities of the world, but.................

It doesn't count saying something is before but it was after. Coz at the end of the day, there is no domestic cleaner in domestic violence... Yes we all know that love hurts; but why do you love to hurt her?

Its hard being Financially-fit cause there's a lot of challenges...
