Camps bay Capetown.
The winter sky is dark, there is no moon; The taxi’s lights reflects off tin can houses; Taxi bump, a dog not a speed **** driver will stop until noon; Rival taxi speeds past with a bang by the side with the man and his spouse; Her blood bitterly decorates the 18-seater, Lesha from Khayelitsha.

On My Way Out of Khayelitsha
There is a world outside my window it screams and rushes and roars   Relentlessly in motion a ceaseless current of to and from coming and going (“Wynberg !?”) that batters against my walls Even the trees thrash about in an angry hurried cadence “You must not keep still!” everything shouts Yet I remain in stasis cut off from the boundless energy that proudly moves on and on and on

The World Outside
At night as I lie awake I beg To let me live as many lives As there are stars in the sky

My 11:11 wish
#1 | 31 Poems for August I want to do more than just write poetry. I want to paint pictures. So be my muse and surrender your body as my canvas. I’ll make every single swift stroke bring you to life. I’ll show you what this brush of mine is capable of. You are the sun that my sky yearns to hold. Beautiful cocoa butter skin. Your beauty is not only found on your exterior but every single place within. I want to insert my poems in every single atom in this galaxy. So that you can feel my love wherever you go. From Pretoria to Toronto. From Jo’burg to Moscow. From Cape Town to Glasgow. Static thoughts and kinetic conversations inspire my flow. I have thoughts that my words cannot describe and I wish to share them with the world. I wish to share them with you. I love the way your eyes see past my smile and deep into the fibres of my soul. I love the way your smile makes me whole. Let’s become a poem our friends can always snap their fingers to. I want to hold your body the way canvas portrays paint. I want to kiss your lips while I gently hold your waist. I want to do more than just write poetry. I want to tell the world about you. Let me tell the world about you.

Tell the World
A Sky Of Melted Butter, Harbors The Setting Sun, Suspending It Above, Flustered Waves Of Blue I Smell Like The Sea The Sails Against The Sky, Have Turned To Silhouettes, The Gentle Waves Caressing, The Edge Of The Horizon   I Taste Like The Sun Seabirds Have Flocked Together, And Are Now Flying Back To Shore, Slumber Has Teased Their Eyelids, For The Jaded Waters Are Vast I Look Like The Stars The Moon Has Floated Upwards, Casting An Ivory Shadow Below, The Wind Has Now Become Calm, The Blue Waves Have Become Still I Sound Like The Breeze The Salt Encrusted Wind Cooled; The Sky Was No Longer Gold, Sails No Longer Dragged Their Cargo, Across The Blackest Of Ocean Waters *If You Were To Touch My Soul, You Would Only Grasp A Word.* Home © Sydney Victoria 2014
