Khoisan

Stallion proposals
do like Don Quixote would
send her twelve roses

The age of Chivalry religious moral
and social integrity.
Is it possible to reinvent the wheel
?????????????????????????????????

Raven

I Follow

My life, Long time ago
A flock of birds, I follow
I was a chicken's chick
I had imperfect wings

I really wanted to fly, fly ,fly
I tried and I died, died, died

Another life, not long ago
A Pack of wolves, I follow
I was a rabbit's kit
Running, my habit

I really wanted to fight, fight, fight
They saw me, I just went-run, run,run

My new life, a few days ago
A herd of deer, I follow
I was a cub of tiger
Growing fighter

I just said Hi,Hi,Hi
They ran, didn't even say bye,bye,bye

Orpheus Rebooted

Just like Orpheus,
I descended.
Though,
my digression was
for different
reasons.
Yeah, I tried to
rescue you from
your hell.
Bring you out of
the degradation,
the debauchery.

It smelled like
***** and ****.
The swine squealed.
The harpies shrieked.
And,
I looked
too long.
I became you.

Thank God I escaped.
Fate dragged me
out by the scruff
of my neck.
You've made it
your home,
but, I will never
visit your underworld
again.

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry.

A series of events

We were going
To go
Out,
But tiredness
Changed your mind.
“You go,”
You said,
So casually kind.

Not sure I'll enjoy this,
Maybe no one
There
I
Know.
But whatever
I’ll just enjoy the show.

I order a drink,
Mingle with the crowd,
The band comes on,
It’s deafening, loud.

I start to unwind,
Feel the rhythm’s heat,
Body swaying,
Jumping feet.

I lose myself in music’s flow,
But it ends, oh, too soon.
The crowd calls for more,
Like wolves
Howling at the moon.

Secretary Of Our State’s

Please respect the process
says the calm, entitled speaker…
We’re still investigating
our regime that’s growing weaker.
Don’t miss represent them.
They didn’t **** and **** them all,
that’s just the way they do it
in the Israeli prison stalls.

Domestic Absurdity

The kitchen in my head
Brought me onions to cut,
But I don't cry.

In the meantime, the sink is full;
Dishes are *****,
Spoons are sharp,
And coffee mugs do not predict the future.

Bread in the fridge,
And ice cream in the oven—
Let's drink one cup of tea before we kiss.

Good Morning

Early morning,
Birds chirping,
On the terrace,
A smile, a caress,
Fingers entwined..
Let's unwind,
No hurry,
No worry,
You and me
Over cups of piping hot tea.
Magic in the romance
Aromatic fragrance,
Solace in the taste,
Not a drop to waste.
Nothing matters,
No chatter,
Only me and you,
Morning anew,
You brew, I brew,
A cuppa of tea.
