they thought i needed fixing
only to discover i am not broken
but i am tired
and i need a lifetime rest

they felt helpless
coz it was not in their power to help

We said we gonna take it slow...
Until our first date,
We realized that we were driving at 180km/h,
Imitating Micheal Schumacher.
Forgetting at the end of the road there's a sharp turn
We crashed.

I know love kills, but a slow death
So, I thought...I'd find cure for this love
Not realizing, this love is not poisonous but corrosive
It is very toxic as a Sulfuric acid
Once it gets hold of you
It shreds you into nothing
Same time we forget about your existence
That's what this love does

mine hurt
coz they come with expectations

and nothing has ever happened the way I've expected it

Thoughts deceiving us in every way
Clouding true meanings of everything
Everything seems like a fairytale or a dream come true.
Sad
Reality hits hard when you wake up from a nightmare that fell into the day
You catch yourself day dreaming of things that can't come into existence
Snap out of it
You running out of time

I'm tired of everything
mostly of sleepless nights
and distressful days

Can I go somewhere quiet?
"My mind."I thought

I thought it was a quiet place
coz I stopped thinking of pain and sorrow
The pain and sorrow I thought I conquered,
I did not

There were still lot of hurting questions unanswered
which became molecules colliding in my mind.
There was no quietness there.

Where can I go?
"No where."I remembered

My mind was destroyed
by a broken heart
and a troubled soul
so there was no place at peace that I could go to.

I can not do this anymore

Can I just die?

Yesterday she said
Tomorrow I'm gonna be a better someone.

So now, tomorrow is here
but today time is not on her side

She is gone
We lose track of time the moment we say "tomorrow" not "now".

Why do we have to wait?

Why can't we take charge now?

Unfortunately, her tomorrow never came.

It made the love between us alive
It built a bond and kept us unbreakable

Yet we betrayed it
Our lies were overpowering

Trust  b
              r
                o
                  k
                    e         
                        the bond
Some of it went missing
Our love died

The trust left was not enough for us  to believe  the love reigning

Trust said: "I am a catabolic yet an anabolic of every bond and am hard to be restored."
Two

Two
An adjective which says it all
An expression in two form
A balance to the  noun
Known as a pair of the  negative and a positive

Everywhere I am found
Where hate is,
My name is love.
Where pain is,
My name is joy.
Where rain is,
My name is sunshine.
Where tear is,
My name is smile.
Where weakness is,
My name is strength.

Power was me
One failed to rule
It belong to a world of two
Where there's black and white

Every story has an intro and a conclusion
Concluding my story
Good is in every bad
Moods control
Sometimes I am best
Sometimes I am worst
I reigned in everything
It made me realise the power that two things or people have over a thing and also that life has balance because of the goodbad in everyone

I thought I lost the art
When I lost the paints
and my paint brushes
but I realised art was not only the paintings
Everything was art

I had a pen and a pencil
Which had words
They wanted to use to create a masterpiece

My pencil very sharp
Sharp to sharpen my life
And the ink of my pen marked the beauty my life resembles

A profound art was then found.

Time knew you were mine
so you travelled miles
to find me

I lose and find myself  in my mind
That's were exploration of fantasy is

our story was supposed to continue
but he didn't want that
so he put an "end" instead of  "and"
and that was the last of "us"
Us
Maitsholo Oct 2020
Us
Love was our story
Strange was the headline
Your love was unusual
Strong in pain
                    in dreams
                               and in promises
Your promises were just words

Lies became you
Very manipulative with your mind
Buried the poor truth
Honesty was no more
Loyalty was hard labour
Commitment never existed

Lies became our story
Regret was the headline
Sorrow developed
Pain buried joy
Your love brought hate
Regret became me

Our story is history
I never thought some day I will regret myself for loving someone and  being real...

A father of our nation
A father of determination
A light to the children that brighten the dark days
A man who destined freedom
through strive and struggle

A man of courage
who spoke words that lift the spirits of:
mothers who give births in squatter camps,
the homeless and parentless children,
and life prisoners

He is Rolihlahla which meant troublesome
but he was a peace maker
He fought to make a difference
Whenever life put him to the ground
He stood up every time and ran to his people

Utata Nelson Mandela
Today it's his day...We celebrate it with him wherever he is

I am your energy
You irrigate plants with me
Plants which gives food
Food which is your energy

I am misclean liquid washer
I energise the inside part of the human bodies.

He was a stranger
And yet everything felt strange around him
It felt like I’ve known him for years
His energy was familiar
The character he portrayed
made everyone feel like he have always been around
A stranger became part of the fam
Maitsholo Oct 2020
He was mis-taken as my soulmate
Only to be discovered as a friend
But friends don't exist in his world
Family do

I made him a brother
But he wanted to be more
He became my everything
In storm he became my shield
In war he became my army
In pain he became my joy

Life transformed into a rainbow because rainy days he was my sunshine.
He made me god and became my angel

Being part of her made her world forever spring
Where toxic was past,
Everything was a fresh start
And the beauty of nature was appreciated,
The greeny grasses
The bright clear skies
The colorful flying creatures
And the blossoming of flowers which remind me of her pure soul full of love and care

I became *LIFE*

they were my building blocks
before they made me turn the world into chaos
they broke me

The "People" say I misused them
they no longer heal
they hurt

I've shut doors
and darken the paths of many
with just words.
reason why i've been quiet lately

It was a mystery
It was a never ending adventure
Yet many discovered their treasures
Little did they know
Nothing was precious about their treasures
because year 2022...

It was an overwrite of an unsaved history
A replay of events
Families getting along once again
Love and peace being the drive
Every being feeling like everything is a fresh start,
the beginning of something great
Sadly they were all living in the past for better presents because they didn't foresee the future
2022 really felt like a year where everything was going very well

— The End —
