Never really cared
about my name, big deal
It’s always been air
about my grain, Big Seal

Sometimes I feel like
I gave birth to this World
Sublime I fill, that’s why
I pay worth to this Word

Lost siblings and then some
Blood, Sweat and Tears
I caught feelings and penned some,
But swear sincere…

First time in the first
No words for those teary eyes that day, scorn at bay
Future Kings already in wars of awes today

I'm a Son without a proud Mother this May
Her day of Birth was a clouded Sun, out of mind yesterday
Guess a good heart can hurt the closest, nay, if the nest's away

yet another soldier incarcerated for possession of nature
Friends pay
Getting calls from another, older
incarcerated in a Man's nature...
My friend's gay

It sure gets better…
Looking back to what I needed to triumph,
All the perils I needed to thrive…
All the devils I needed to regurgitate
Looking for solace in ****** tunnels
…kneeling to reach the pearly gates…

*Like that stick up kid early or late on the corner,
barely afraid…It’s time to Conquer…

A hungry Lion,
makes an angry Zion
fear God’s Iron
like the bed you lie on
The struggle we pray on
is the trouble we crayon
Now, we call each other dude
Forgot our chores, to clean
Our Mother’s stoep
…and then you wonder why
you miss the Door?
‘Coz you blunder and
forget to kiss the floor

The future is too bright
The feature is too right
The humour is futile
The rumour, it’s tonight...

The puma is too quite
The butcher too, dies
Pusher, phanda, two dice?

I will come like a thief in the night!

Open sesame,
grant passes to all and hail the King of hypocrites
Omens sense me,
plan the masses like Hellboy the grail of things opposite

Play the field, to be cruel is to be kind, man…
I paid the bill, so be good to be mine then
Judas kiss was a diss…Jesusness was bliss
That’s why I kiss both cheeks

I’m on guard, take the World it’s yours
What kind of God saves the World with laws??

I’m sorry for being
blind at times...
I can’t lie


Nurturing

I only see rhymes

…don’t
want to fall in love
I’d rather rise in love…
Send my flaws in
the wind like doves,
My father’s skies engulf…
Stand tall as a Mill
and be tough,
Are my rights
Enough

"To.Really.Unite.The.Humanity."

"Truth has no temperature,
takes my breath away
..."
Maverick
Kabelo Maverick Apr 2014
The sound of my footsteps; a hoping guidance to faith
My sound of breath teaches this blackness I’m alive in fate
The echoes tell me the journey is deep and far from over
My eyes, a drunken blind man, I feel far from sober
Skin is dry and cold, a symptom of no light
But though I’m driven by some divine force to fight
In my mind I ponder, what will the world think if I fail?
In my heart I wonder, how will it feel when I prevail?
This task of greatness shakes my guts
No choice now, I am no more men in huts
I hear drops of past storms telling stories of Maverick
The devil’s poetry, devious and mesmeric
My damp shoes are cold feet, at times I miss Mother’s towel
No more excuses, comfort zone of being fatherless

I continue reciting Tunnel…

Afraid to do
Abate? you mute
Arcade you grew
Astray you too?
Again you lose

I pray you do
Someday you too
Attain Guru
And stay true to
The way, huru
I say, you do…

Again, you do!

"It’s not hard to create, not harder than it is to cremate. Destroy to rebuild, who gave me the right to relate? I’ll deploy the guilt, it’s who lives inside this ribcage. Authority within, Apology missing… Feeling a bit under the weather lately, maybe coz I’m feeling lit about what matters innately. What’s the next poem, where’s my nest home, what’s the last hope? I’m vexed, so let me ask the Pope, are you the best? Nope.  Or should I turn it into a rope and pray? Can’t do that without thinking of the hangings, it hurts so I clear my throat…
nay, can’t do that when you’re sinking from the angering. I’m recluse so I
put my faith on my Refuge piously and conclude. The page is now my deluge and the siren is left confused…

Faith for the bathing ape
Case of caging the ape
I heard they even have it on tape
It hurts...this evil habit of ****
forget God, all I wanna do is escape
I get a job from a Man holding a banner, wearing a cape
He asks, “do you believe in faith?”
I’m masked, *“…do you see my face??”

Space, Forever the same
Sage is never ashamed
I’ve sat under that tree-bound semi shade
Mad like thunder, being low down ***** shame
Apples fell, I was blinded by Cain
Ample bells, never minded the pain
Chapels or Hells?
Intertwined the Chain...

Sophisticated beauty, they call me Style masquerading Kings and Queens flamboyant
I'm deep at times in skin, clothes, material turn minds inane
I'm amused in vanity
I was there behind the tree, searching for Adam and Eve, when victory in apple ignited my might as humanity once blind could see...
It's amazing how I'm carried with time,
former to latter, juvenile females now even feel me before Love, they worship me better...
Men trade Talents and Riches to imbibe in fountain, I'm mutual to god, I'm moving a Mountain...
I am before to now and here, face of victory
Feel my eminence
Nothing is more real than opening your eyes to YOU as evidence.

Mediocre, vanity
Being Sober, sanity

Being Roma, fantasy
Me and Jehovah, insanity

The deserts' enigma as the sand tells stories of ancient civilisations, and the open air parallel suggesting stigmas of myth echoing apologies of Asian civil invasions. Wealth and Wisdom buried underground to hide the former faces, and so slow paces to mirages as a Man walks the ground to find the water oasis. Pressures of wind hugging to shape into a tornado, a Mother pushes waters to save the World with a Bambino. The inferno Sun sets on water or falls, crashes like a bashed tomato into lava erupting a volcano, but still rests on the water floor. Seas and Oceans are never cliché, but I feel farfetched where it's forlorn. See the emotions in my tears coz' I feel far attached before born...
Once a fish, always a fish...!!!

Loud beats, clamorous, for a while ticking to a different pulse
Lights embracing the night
Junk food served with chicks
***** intake like water
Smoke exhale like an exhausted car
Minds hyper and fearless to die






Reality laughs as time goes by...!
I'm just about to have a great weekend coming...so I thought this piece would be appropriate. Enjoy your weekend!!!

I'm the 27th Letter...
The Sixth sense
Plus that, makes me 33 years when the King died

The End of the Beginning, or is Seven the latter?
This jinxed sense passes that...
Makes my pedigree queer, ha!

I love the profoundness of waking up
not knowing how and why…
The conform of knowing
that no matter how preposterous or uncanny it might seem…
In essence, we just can’t ignore
the fact that there’s *Something out there bigger than us,
and beautifully obsessed about us…

But no ways, not when I can

I always thought I
would turn into
my word, when I die.
But, I found a way to
turn my sword

Eye insipid,
why perceive

There’s pride in
being timid,
coz’ the height

God’s sigh
Is intricate,
So High but
Intimate

We fly and
Interpret

imminent…
to rise intrepid

Touched by Indians on the forehead for blessings
Going to Court with this ambience in my head for the stressing
Twilight zone intuitions as we fall victim to false pretence
Twilight zone institutions as we fall victim to false preachers
Yep, my Life is a mess, but a Message...
