I find more comfort in strangers
than my family

Reconnecting,

Our hearts.
Through descriptions of our days.

I am not a slave, no.
Yet,
I am enslaved
By the:
Systems which you created
The history which you teach me
the name which you give me because mine is "too hard" to pronounce

I am not a slave, no.
But I am enslaved
By the societies which you have created that does not allow me to spread my,
Beautiful.
Black.
Wings.

I am not a slave, no.
My ancestors just made the wrong choice.

I tell people, "I'm okay."
As a coping mechanism.
As a way to push people away.

I'm okay.

I communicate in poems,
music,
series,
movies.

The moon caught the sea kissing the sky,
The affair not at night
But their love bright
And as the moon watched their raging love
Swell,
Crash,
Break,
He watched
His lover,
In the embrace of another.

I met you that night,
And stuck a conversation,
With our bodies.

You ever feel rejected?
Not by anyone,
But by yourself...

There's a version of us that's together,
And the love I feel now Is the overflow from theirs...

Sometimes,
I wish,
I were the boy,
You talked to me about.

I do not wish bad upon anyone,
But rather for a life to hit them,
Like a brick,
Thrown from space,
By Hulk,
On steroids.

For that is the best thing that you could ever wish upon a person.

A truly great ~promotional item~war hero.
He grew our ~businesses~ country.
A true ~capitalist~ philanthropist in every sense of the world.
You’ve left a mark on our world.
You will be greatly missed.

it is not soothing,
to watch the burgundy clouds,
slide across the night summer sky?

a lock down,
forces one to open up
forces one to show love.
a lock,
downed by vulnerability
vulnerability put down when the lock gets lifted.

I just wanted to feel your lips pressed against mine,
But instead,
You drove a knife through my heart
And walked away with a smile.

I want to cry
But I'm afraid it won't help.

i think the saddest part of it all,
is realising that i'm closer,
to my friends,
than my family.

We're slowly growing apart,
and I'm just waiting for the day,
you don't reply.

You're smarter than you think,
Smarter than you are,
And more beautiful than you can ever imagine.

the world would be a lot darker if you were to leave it.

: I radiate through your gloomy days ‘n haze (
‘
: My smiles help you through your depressing mondays (
: Sunshine from your beautiful essence, perfume, and your natural presence (
: And as I write this poem, with you in mind, your words play upon. constantly. all night (
: D

I am a born free.
From the shackles of
apartheid
Yet, I complain,
About experiences I’ve never had.
Am I truly
Born free ?

People come to me,
Broken,
Filled with insecurities
And once I show you the Queen who's meant to be,
You throw me aside,
For another brother,
Who will never appreciate what I've seen,
But I continue,
Along my journey,
To My Queen,
Who will appreciate Me

Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Coming
Good Things Are Here.

This.
Right here.
is a snapshot of my soul
at different points within space and time

This, right here.
Is my being.
Splattered across…
Pixels,
Flashes,
Papers,
Me.

This right here.
This is me.

An unapologetic being.

Not afraid of,
Proclaiming to the world,
That,
Simply put.

This is me

Weather like this,
Beckons for us to be together.

Spring clouds
Bring a fresh start,
A rebirth.

The men of this world
Have broken,
Beaten,
Shattered,
Women in our time.
But from the ashes
And the shattered souls left behind,
A new man will arise
To treat women right
To show the old man the light.

If I were to say,
"I am not okay,"
Everything would become too real,
Although maybe I'd be able to feel.

I lay on my bed,
Complete. Darkness.
Pondering on what has,
And what can be.

I lay on my bed.
Thankful.
That tomorrow will bring new fruit
And todays suit can be shed
For the delights that lay ahead.

Toady. I have changed.
I have decided, to stop questioning it all …
And just say, yes.

I try and stay out of my mind,
Because it’s filled with snapshots of you.
