Is there something wrong with being black? Different
                 skin color tone war,
is that what our heroes fought for?
Why is it necessary for white men to form similes about our color? Is this freedom or what?
            I feel like being black is a sin.
What's really funny is racism is found in the black community only because it has turned on itself “I'm light skinned I'm better than” “dark skinned is ugly”
is this what we call love? Ubuntu? if so then I want none it.
It's amlaot disgusting how we can't show love to each other but expect love from another kind.

My girl died and I lost my mind
You were here for me when I was on the edge and almost took my life away
She was all I had
I had just committed, but unfortunately she took her life away - thinking this was the way out of the world of the cruel
My heart was between her thighs - she fell and it broke
I still bleed, pain - no happiness
Her picture still lingers in my eyes
She's all that I can see
I got this new girl, but I can't get my mind off this predicament
Things aren't the same - it's hard not to think about her

[Inspired by: Ab Soul Ft Jhene Aiko - Closure]

Giving off pieces of myself to complete you
You're a mess, but I can fix you
Allow me to take you around the globe and let the world stare
I wanna make you sure of your beauty, let's ride together
And be like the '03 Bonnie & Clyde
O'er the moon like the shining star No clouds can block our shine
No sun can outshine us. Hand in hand we'll patch up to be imperfectly perfect, for me. The piece that will set my world in motion,my motivation. Tattooed into my spirit, you'll have a huge chunk of my heart to keep in yours. Capture a shot of you smiling, heaven never looked so beautiful. My kind of forever.

By: @OfentseTsie & @_Dvniel

What I thought was my forever is now my past - crazy how this world works
You share dreams with someone and then they become your nightmare
Your soul wanders at night searching for theirs
Restless nights throughout
The journey never ends - tunnel seems to get darker, yet they say there's light at the end of every tunnel I used to want to look into your eyes until sun comes up, then only thing I'm getting is grey skies and a black moon.
I loved you from my skin to my bones, trying to runaway from the reality of your memories that have been planted in my mind, torture. The hallways of my soul still echo your name. The only sign of hope in me,is the ink I let ruin the paper with the words I'd say to you.

By: @OfentseTsie & @_Dvniel

The pretty face she had - always outshone the stars
Never believed in shooting stars, but cars & money
Her eyes were like a mirror, I always saw my reflection through them
The passion that she had within always pushed me, us, her & made our love better
We walked through the fire, but we never got cremated. Her touch moved my soul in ways I couldn't describe.
She held this certain feel to her, it wasn't good nor was it bad, you couldn't bring yourself to function.
The way she sung my name kept me awake with the moon and the stars in a constant reply, no.

By: ofentse_tsie & dvniel

she was hooked
on drugs
and i was dealing
with depression
i became her new addiction
and my *** was her fix
she always confided in me but the four walls knew her better
and one day i went hibernating
she cut herself and befriended
a noose which she used to degrade herself because the anchor was absent in her life

Her ways of breaking hearts, telling lies through her tongue
Her eyes shining like the north star, always there to deceive

Her ways never leave you happy neither her words
They always sting

She leaves
- hearts broken, and moves on like you weren't in the chapter
She becomes what you thought would be your future

She leaves - leaves dark clouds hanging over people's heads

Before we met, my heart was shattered
I had all the pieces scattered, some were even missing

You came like a wrecking ball, funny enough; you didn't finish me off, but instead you added new value, gave me hope

I couldn't believe what was before my eyes, but you reassured me when we exchanged souls; ****** *******

We complimented each other, poetry was our favorite thing, I wrote all my madly in love thoughts on your back, and let you strip for me; so amazing

By: yours truly

Patience waited , but his heart couldn't meet the deadline
The love he had got stuck, stopped being pumped into the vessels of hearts through the temple. He couldn't appreciate her like before, she was another piece of moving flesh now, his soul no longer craved that breath of fresh air.

By: ofentse_tsie & dvniel

What's deep is, what I cannot give you nor have with you
The *** leaving you with hickies, that's what I'm willing to give you
Show me your body, and I will show you my love

The depth of this situation is unexplainable

I don't want you to place your heart in my hands, because I'm scared

I'm a mess, but I can fix your broken heart through the exchange of souls, my soul is nothing.
I can't complete myself and leave you empty.
I'd rather just have you to my bed, with no emotions crossing and knotting each other inside me. Don't fall for me, I won't too. Let's enjoy the stupidity of what we're doing while we can before I break you. But just know I didn't mean to. You were so perfect and it didn't sit well with me.

By: ofentse_tsie & dvniel

You ever had someone to share your love with and then they got taken away from you?
Is it some sort of a forbidden love?
I mean, to you, she's a daisy
No flaws, nothing is worth pointing out as faulty
Short, petite thighs, A-cup *****, small waist, nice *****
Everything you've ever wanted in a woman
The unexplainable beauty
All them long texts and phone calls
No quarrels, just honey moon phase
Counting stars from different locations, but still felt the warmth...
It's love, I guess...

Your love
So beautiful
I feel so warm in between your thighs
Your deep breaths taking over my life
This is what I have longed for
Long phone calls, 4AM texts and writing poetry as your honor
You're like hip hop
My heart never stops racing in your presence, that's how powerful your love is
I love you

I was seeking happiness, love & someone caring. And then you came along. I was so disconnected from the real world, lived in my fantasy. Never left my room, it was filled with sadness & sorrow.
I often felt like I could tattoo these tears on my eye.
I never believed in love. It had a lot of horrid memories, no good reference was in sync with it, or maybe the facade was just too bad to convince me.
Things changed.... You became what my broken heart desired. Always held me up when I was down. You showed me different paths love can take you. For the longest time I believed I'd never fall in love again. I warmed up to the idea of being alone and started building a life that consisted of me and only me. Then you walked into my life almost as if you were heaven sent you changed me, my thoughts, my perception on love and relationships. You effortlessly become my fairy tale. Honey,You're my smile, you're my cry. You're my confusion.. you are MY answer.  You are what I never imagined myself needing, wanting and missing. Yes, you're The piece that completes my puzzle, my heart and most importantly my life... You're all that and more.

By: @OfentseTsie & @JustKarabo

You evoke the god in me
Your passion for me was prepared by the gods
You spit fire
These words might sound like they don't rhyme, but the sound of our hearts do
Scientifically, heartbeats of two individuals can't be the same (well, I'm not sure)
I didn't do any research
But ours do
We were made for each other
I see you in me. The pure reflection
Your voice brings nirvana in my life.*

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

I tried reaching you, your eyes caught my sight
But you never gave in to the temptation you were facing
My face kept showing in your retina

It felt as if I was your soul mate
You would always look away when I braced you & your friends with my presence

It kind of felt like I was pushing you away as you would look bored, but fortunately, you ended up falling for me

My intentions with you are different from your experiences
I'm not of this world; so my paint brush was heavenly made by the creator of the heavens and earth

voiceless, choking from insults and stones thrown at him
never good enough, always ugly even with new trends
they killed his self esteem and there's no more light burning inside of him
they were like a tornado to him - blew the candle burning inside of him off
they instilled self hate
but today they get surprised by his lack of self confidence
why, society?
By: @Ofentse_Tsie

In all honesty I do deeply feel for you
but I don't want to make love to you, no...
I want to *******.
I want to make sure the only words you can utter are “more, faster, don't stop”
I want to dive in deep in your pink matter until I smash into your soul and become one with it
I want to make sure that our bedroom is the only place you want to be in. for lifetimes. With colored dreams of what we can expect to come off our fantasy
I wanna ride you like a horse
I want your moans to be the music to my ears
I want the wax to disappear when you moan
And put your nails under my skin
I want those back marks, for unforgettable memories of what we have created in our own, room.

By: dvniel x ofentse_tsie

I just wanna be with you, kiss you and make love to you

darling, allow my pillow to have dreams of you embedded in it

my heart's aching, my ears are longing for your voice

I wanna get nostalgic to your moans to breathe your skin into me

host you in my soul with nothing but love
serenading on your body with the bite marks

Tears flowing down my face, drowning in my sorrows & regret. I thought we would end up together, but it seems as if you just stringed me along to hurt me by: promising me nothing, but heaven on earth which is now hell.
I can't sleep at night, you're always running on my mind, I've lost my cool and composure, because of your lies.
Would I be wrong if I wished we never crossed paths? Would I be guilty if I told you that you're no longer worth it?
I hope one day you get to experience this worse than you've made me to. My heart is no more, there's only shattered pieces which can never be put together to makeup a new refreshed heart that doesn't hold regret and bitterness…

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

Her voice held something, something so heavy for my ears
Her voice had that sound, the type of sound that makes you stutter in any way you could envision it

My heart was crippled, I was filled with bitterness
Resentment was tainted all over my tongue
My conscious was in the dark - in a tunnel where I couldn't hear it

But as she continued speaking - her voice had magic, it evoked the soldier in me
I fought for, because she kept me alive in a form of poetry

You see there's this chill I get when I picture her in the sight of my bed sleeping, her legs a mess, her hair flourish all over the many pillows I'll have set for her, her hands open with her fingers waiting for mine to collide with. she's perfect from the way her mouth moves to the way she utters the simplest of words,I can honestly say she is peace.  
                 My peace.
She groomed me and helped me become the man she one day look up to. I was broken down and she kneeled and put me back to get only now I am of her design which makes me better.

What a love she has, what a love she created. What a love, what a love she is.

By: @ofentsetsie & @_dvniel

The first time I saw you I was overwhelmed by your beauty. Your thighs put a smile on my face. I’ve always wanted to approach you, but it seems like the more I come closer the further distant you become. Things seem to get complicated with every breath I take. As close as I ever got to you were the mere moments put together by such vivid imagination, A fantasy world created in my hierarchy. When I first laid eyes on you, it took me a minute to process what was before my eyes. I was in total disbelief, such perfection is unknown to me. Are you sure you weren’t made for me? You were nothing short of heaven sent. “You’re cute” those being the first words I’ve ever uttered to you, I didn’t think about, I didn’t contemplate it I just said it . A ton of emotions rushed through me your smile sent chills down my spine, I hoped you wouldn’t notice the blush on my face.. Dear Crush, I think you’re amazing. I don’t really know you but from what I’ve seen I’d like to see more.
By: @JustKarabo & @OfentseTsie

A beautiful soul he had — always spent his nights alone with his pen and paper. He would always make his pen bleed beautiful words.

He wore black, because of depression. Never wanted anyone's sympathy, but his own presence. His heart was shattered — his soul was out of his body — wandering searching for a place of comfort.

He spoke the truth into existence as he never found closure because of the hardships and heartaches which never molded him, but broke him and changed his entire sunny days to grey skies.

He's a breathless somebody, he's turned into a statue. All the insults have made him look like a skeleton. He can't move nor say any word — he's a voiceless nobody; fossil.

By: Ofentse Tsie

Love is blind, blurry vision of lovely illusions
Breaking chains of the heartbreaks and heartaches
Smiling through genuine happiness, and not sadness
Mask of truer happiness, and not of fake smiles
I wanna travel the world with you - reach the depths of your heart
And make the corners of your garden of eden smell sinful; ***
I wanna make sure that my touch is the only one that makes your soul wanna move out your body. Echo my name in the streets of the great grey matter and make sure that I'm forever. Let's make the heavens shake with this love. it might **** us, but trust me, it's all worth it. It's more than a thrill. It's more than a fling, it's US.

By: @OfentseTsie & @_Dvniel

you, I know you hate me, but when are you going to open your eyes and see what's before you, the bright future we have.

a fatal attraction is common, and what we have in common is the everlasting passion to be loved

why won't you let me be the “he” in your heart & satisfy you ? I can take your mind on a vacation & your heart out in space

we have a garden out here at home, the roses have blossomed, come let's pick the pink roses, and let me plug them to your hair

I neglected your heart when you gave it to me.

I shoved you & your genuine love when you tried your luck on me. I let the noise of the world silence my inner voice which told me all about your potential.

I stood on your way when you wanted to give your love to another person of which was very unfair of me.

I know I'm a ****, but I'm genuinely sorry for all my fouls. I've never scored anything by the way.

My demons fought with my thoughts of you. I kind of seemed sprung, but it was never that. It was true love.

Balance is one of my challenges. Your love is too much for me, forgive me for all that you went through for I led you on. I'm sorry.
By: ofentse_tsie

Her heart beating like a bell
As it slowly steadily stops beating fast
Her thighs and hands trembling
Am I losing the love of my life?
What if all she needs is to see me, and then she will be functioning well again?
But the tricky question is, what if? You know, she becomes worse?
Not trying to sound deep, but I'm knee deep in prayer and she will become well within no time.

Let's make art. I wanna draw you like pablo with no picasa though. You give me butterflies when I think of your smile
                  Let me carve you being with my soul. all the beautiful flaws that are there will stand out
               You'll become a 10; flawless in a way my eyes will never wander
and lust will fade
                           I'll trip for you in all the areas of my life and find my place at home in your eyes.
                 Your heart will become my place of safety
I want you all to myself.
                For myself. My happiness will be found in every word said by your voice, the humor in your laugh.
         I wanna get lost into the beauty of your smile - let you make me happy with a blink of an eye

by: ofentse_tsie & dvniel

It's the feeling
The feeling that I always feel when I am with her
This is the girl I saw in my dreams
My dreams are lucid
Today, I am with her. All of the wishes of her that I had came true
She changed me
She showed sense of humor. One of the traits that attract men
This is the girl
The girl my heart belongs to
With her
I can never go wrong. She's like a GPS

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

this rope has more meaning than this world full of petty people. let me take away my life, I wanna be away from the drama of this life

i can tell
by the bags
under your eyes
that you cry
yourself to sleep
when it comes
dawn you hide
and cut your
wrists, so the
sun doesn’t kiss
you and make you
conscious
let’s make
love and shut
the world out
and embrace this
new feeling that
we ignite in each
other’s bodies

Toxic love, that's what he was trapped in
He had a refugee; her thighs

His heart was shattered, pieces all over the place
The girl he was in love with was nothing short of amazing, her thighs would glow in the dark

The only flaw she had - she showed no passion
Always wrecking homes, cutting herself

The refugee was all the guy ever wished for
She had the same passion as him
Her scent lingered on his lips & clothes & left him in the lonely cave

By: ofentse_tsie

smiling through your sheets
showing you flames
your eyes glowing in the dark
our souls connecting through our skins
getting you wetter by the touch
with your moans becoming the music to my ears
every hair on my body jumping about to have a piece of you
my breath mumbling your name in tongues
those long nails piercing into me bring the feeling of your soul further into mine
the bed springs singing the melody of love.
                                                 our love

By: @OfentseTsie & @_Dvniel

she was
just a
caterpillar which
happened to
be jealous
of butterflies.

Alone at night with my thoughts, thoughts of you
My mind gets tired, because you're constantly running through it. All the laughs & tears we shed
How we used to hold hands and walk like peacocks, embracing our love for each other like they embrace they're beautiful feathers... Past the sweet phase, you made my life a living hell. You sold me dreams which were never seen, but spoken of, you surpassed the stage of being the best thing that's happened to me since the beginning of me, my mirror image you became, Our colors have emulated...a mixture meant to be, like colors of the color wheel, I'm the blue but your the perfect red that makes a violet. ..since you came into my life I've remained unknown to loneliness, Don't leave I don't want to be alone.
By: @Ofentse_Tsie & Gugu Medupe

I gave you my all, but because you're so used to being played you decided to play me
You played with my feelings
My love for you was real, but your love for me was never real; fake
Why you gotta lower your standards like this?
Is this the best way you could degrade yourself?
How could you be so cold - so cruel and close the chapter like I wasn't a part of it? You continued to write your book knowing I was never to be part but still stringing me along like a puppet does to his master,you had my life and you threw it in the devil's pit like some worthless object - you showed me your true colors like peacock in spring
Your wicked ways were revealed that day you brought out the side of me I never knew existed, I felt things I had never felt before... hate. for myself. I hated myself for falling in love, I hated myself for knowing you, but I couldn't hate you... I couldn't hate you, because my judgment was clouded by your *** appeal, and your beauty - your facade meant so much that I couldn't even see the wickedness that shone through your eyes - so dark

By: @OfentseTsie x @_Dvniel

love never hurts, they said
bruises on the back like an abused child
took me to hell instead of heaven
but I guess heaven only exists within us
never ready, always teary
horrid dreams of what could have been my future
drowning my face in water to wipe my tears
always wet, but never get laid
broken hearted, souls empty, nobody to share my pain with
***** on deck to ease the pain
my pen running out of ink to pen my painful thoughts
darkness covering my life; lost in the wild
feeling like a wolf; so cold

She don't believe in love
Her heart holds nothing, but pain
She tried to help others heal, but she couldn't She's full of resentment
Love tortured her soul
She is so empty. Her eyes are full of emptiness
She cries herself to sleep and no one is there to give a shoulder to cry on - she's scared of the payment she might have to make if she considers that
Her pretense is good
She's good at playing people's emotions
She's like a serpent - so easy to deceive*

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

Strange thoughts, different views, new perspectives
Never about me, always about you
Your face lingers in my mind
You've taught me so much, always led me in the right path
Never let me down, always held me up
Always been the light of my life ever since we met, but what wrong have I done now?
Is what you telling the pure, honest truth?
Did I ever manipulate you to fall in love with me?
I mean, you, me, us
Late night chats
I'll never wake up again at 4am, because you're no longer mine now, what's the point of love poems if I'm single?

it's your eyes
that always
have me
losing focus
cause of the vision
they display

I dream of
you
every night
and how I'm gonna
make you whipped
cause of
loves notes
I'm forever
writing with this
pen full of
love and affection

be with
me
and let my
pen undress
and evoke
the god
in you

I was hurt, pain was all I could feel
Until I became a man, she changed me - showed me what true love was
Her smile kept pushing me, I became so attached, and that's when I became a man, when she loved me wholeheartedly.

I won't lie and say I am happy. It hurts. And I'm not too proud to tell you that I cry myself to sleep sometimes knowing that you'll never ever be mine. It pierces my heart whenever I see you or hear you smile, because I know you're pretending to be happy. I feel heartless, but it seems as if you condone whatever that I've done, as you always tell me it was for the best. At that moment, yes, but not now. My heart has a void which no one but you can fill, all the plans we had, how we used to fight and makeup tomorrow morning; the beauty I saw in you; the honest truth of amazing two kids madly in love with one another. I hate to say this, but I hope you open your eyes, and come back because I am missing you

Wrap your legs around my waist, and let me kiss you, on your lips and down to your garden of eden
Let me sin with you, let me explore the wild animal that's within you, let me hear you roar; moan
Allow me to invade your garden, and leave your legs shaking; trembling unstoppable

By: ofentse_tsie

Love tortured my soul
I'm empty
Emptiness in my eyes
I'm numb
This is not good at all. When will I know when true love has come my way?
You left me
You left and never looked back
My heart is so sore
So much I can't feel it when it pumps blood

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

let your walls
worship me
and bow down
when I come down
on them and scream
my name with
every stroke

All the months we spent together, was it all a lie?
I sometimes wonder who's doing it wrong between you and myself, but then again

I somehow feel like I will never get the accurate answer.
You was all that mattered, although it wasn't easy to show it off to you, but still.

I miss you, the old you, before pain changed you. The unspoken regret, and hiding of secrets is what made us go separate ways.
All we ever do is fight, how does that make it up for us?

Is this the new true love? I doubt.
Maybe, if we go back to the chess board, and identify the pawns that are dragging us down, and stopping us grow growing that's when we will be enough for one another.

Was it worth it?
Was it worth every ounce of my energy? Every inch of my soul?
I'm in the dark and your face is all I can see through the dark thoughts and pictures my mind is making up
Where you ever into me? Or you were just INTO me? To be part of the body count and bounce?
Is that how you roll?
Pick up the telephone... Pick up the telephone... Oh, no! It's not who I thought it was... Another lonely night creeps in... Clouds scattered like a herd of buck

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

With All That We Been Through Thought I Was Gonna Be The He In Your Heart. But It Seems Like I Got A Wrong Impression. You’ve Made Me Weak. It Always Seems Like I’m Not Good Enough To Date Someone Like You. I’m The One Who Is Always Checking Up On You What About You?? What Have I Done To You That Makes You Not To Check Up On Me? Or Am I Pushing Too Hard?? If So Why Did You Have To Lead Me On Knowing Exactly That Your Heart Is Not With Me?
By: @Ofentse_Tsie

In you I see me
In us I see true love
I love you for who you are not what you can give me
You're heavenly sent, your type of love is alien.
You reflect me like a mirror in our bathroom
I can feel my soul connecting with yours
They're so pure and compatible
You're the only person who can put a smile on my face
And the most wonderful thing about us is that: I am the only one who can whisper sweet things in your ear

By: @Ofentse_Tsie

My brain & heart are caught up in one position. I’ve always prayed for your love, but it seems like I’ve been praying for a senseless thing. Wait! I overlooked the facade & and went through the shells. Now, you left me with a broken heart. Happiness is a foreign word in my petty life and that is because we’ve shared the same bed & memories. Worthlessness & pain are the emotions my heart are familiar with. Wait…wait a minute…you thought I fell for you?
Haha, excuse my laugh, ma’am I fell for you, built a shell for you
I loved you, past tense, you could tell do you?
I know I was a great guy for you, I know that’s what you tell your crew
but wait…you played me, scarred me, blew past me
I gave you my heart, you lived in my mind but you couldn’t trust me
so knee **** was sideline me, you lied to me
i thought it was forever but it was never, now you ask “Would you have died for me?”
How dare you when I cared for you and was there for you
you can call me thin air coz thats all you can be comparing me to
I’m gone…
By: @OfentseTsie & @SDotJr

like my smile, our love was temporary.
