Closure
Lettie Oct 2018
My princess charming
My smile keeper
My down when I am up
My controller when I am out of control
My calmer when I get insane

I see you wish to shield me
You can't
because what you want to protect me from
is within

I sit and look at you
Your hopelessness bits me on my ***

I see you can not, not get worried
Your powerful love can't even win this over
You are sweet... as I look at you, while trying to help
While trying to figure this out
While trying to get to the bottom of it

Don't you see though
There isn't even bottom about it
I don't even know myself if it is
down
Shapeless
Oval
I don't know, yet it is within me

Complicated you say
I know hey

I don't want you getting involved but
By loving me mean you are involved
Like it or not you are introduced to this
That is the perks that comes with my love

I am stuck with it, you you my beloved
You are not obliged to
To be stuck with it too
You have a choice
You go or stay

Let me warn you
If you choose stay
Well buckle up this ride with me
Is too bumpy

I hope you ready
But I say it again, you are not obliged
As the ride get too much
You may get off
But because you delayed

You might get off with more than scarce
Sorry about that but I warned you
I did ☺

Chance
Lettie Oct 2018
I met my princess charming
How amazing to love and to be loved
Was it ever love?
If it was love or not I guess I will never know

She brought with her happiness
She brought with her hope
She brought with her a change to
A chance to experience yet again life


It has been long since I felt what I felt
With her I felt it or I thought I felt it
The moments lived with a chance of
A chance of happiness was life

I thank God for you and the time
The time we were given
Given life to experience and live
I will forever cherish us

I am greatful for what it was
No regret what so ever
This was thee greatest distraction the
Distraction to my nun so existing
Nun existing life

Now.... now you drifting away
You parting with all you brought
The happiness
Hope
Life

Thank you
Bye

Connection
Lettie Nov 2017
music, songs soothes hearts
songs calms and songs heals
I am listening
all is as
possible
pleasant
and pure

I am stepping up
I am letting go
the rhythm allows me to

courage is gathered
and music picked me up

I am healing
I am smiling
I am growing
Oh! I love music

I took charge
It feels amazing

when this song reach my ears
in early hours of the morning
my soul dances and moves

my ears hears and my lips sings along
yet my eyes are shut closed
I touched the finish line with the tip of my figures
I can feel all settles with my tongue

And i felt free
I am free

Love
Lettie Oct 2017
Love is spiritual
Loves has no gender preference
It sees no human’s colour, race no shape
Love has no eyes

Love develops in the midst of
Respect
Kindness
Caring
Trusting
Believing
Most of all when eyes are
But closed and souls are opened

Love is drown in by the soul a person has
Love develops deep within
Love know nor society values
Love plays its own beats

But human being created
But huge walls around them
This prevent souls to connect
Gender preferences prevents love
Race of a being prevents love
Colour of our skins prevents love
Hell yet shape of a human body prevents love

Why did we become like this
When did we become like this

Can you feel that?
That is my soul connecting with yours
How will we be happy if the society deems it
But not acceptable

Why can’t we let love rules?
This will make this sick world be
But the better place for all
Only if we allow love to be LOVE

EmptinessPain
Lettie Oct 2017
No one can see this
No one can feel this
No one understands
No one and not this body

But it has see it all
Tears
Emotions
Anger
Sadness
Most of all pain

Is it Pain....pain but
Not physical pain
Not emotional pain
Though it is so painful as i feel it

Skin
Veins
Blood
Gone all gone
they are all dead and buried

Inner being is visited but with emptiness
Time with you adds no pleasure
No memory to re-live by thought
Touches from you are not felt

Day night i long for the days when all lives
I didn't get time to say my good bye
I could have...
I could have asked then when will you return

There was no time for me and you
There was no time for me and you when you departed
I can not recall the last of you
All i could pick up was you no longer existed in me

Only in the head i live
But that is not enough because
Because the head recalls
no caressing
no butterflies
no assurance of embrace

Day night i live
emptiness is ruling within me

Depression
Lettie Sep 2017
You hide yourself in us so beautifully
No one notices that you are within us
You take over when 1 is feeling sad
also when one is very happy

I sit in my comfortable corner and wonder
What is your aim....
It is to be recognised, acknowledged and accepted
And if this above mentioned are done
Will you stop your ways of increasing the pressure

You get me thinking hard without any lead
Without anylead to your aim

I must say I think your main aim is to destroy lives
Is to end lives
Your way of winning is a corpse in a grave
That is your accomplishment

I know you... i know you on a personal point of view
You take over a life
A life that end in loosing interest in life all together
1 becomes new to themselves
1 thrives to find new ways to be happy in life but not too happy you(depreciation) don't aprove

It annoyes and irritates me the fact that you want more
You want more than you take/took
You specifically want a life
You want once precious life

I don't think I will allow you to do that
No I refuse to let it be
You taking over 1ns being  and their life
No you cannot

Accepting you in us might be the only
The only weapon will use to defeat you

So I think

Pain
Lettie Aug 2017
This pain comes in different forms
This pain makes sure that it is stronger than the last time
This pain want to leave a mark always
Its strokes devastates me

This leaves me vulnerable
This leaves me confused
My weakness is not physically nor mentally
But weak internally

This makes me not see a will to can
A will to break through
A will to fight
A will to calm and use my brain

This pain blocks all the possible ways to can

Pain you are painful
You are heavy
You a monster
Yes you are and I am scared of you

I am scared that you will visit me and I wouldn’t be able to can

I am scared of you because you possess me
You destroy me
You take control and my being stops
My being stops and honour you

I am scared of you that one day you might just win me

Unkown
Lettie Jul 2017
You didn’t even knock
You stormed in like you own it
To my surprised this is not a visit
You have settled already
To my shock
This looks permanent

I gave you notice
You ignored it
I used all the powers known to evacuate you
Boy that was just waste of time and resources

I had to try, I believed you are here temporary
I never wanted to share my space
Not with you anyway
You are heavy, unpleasant
Uncomfortable when you are around

you do not even utter a word
yet your actions are felt
ignoring you is like trying to sleep with eyes opened
you are impossible

I can understand why you decided to settle
That is because no one wants you
Just a blink of an eye and you stormed in
I am stuck with you

I have accepted you
But i cannot get used to you
It’s a year now

I hope and pray that
You can be attracted to a corpse
And settle there forever
Because no soul deserves
Your presence

You make one feel like a walking dead
Your presence *****

Buddy***
Lettie Jun 2017
I let you get aways with things
That is because my eyes has
My vision has favoured you
It chose you my fit buddy

Hours pass without word from you
How does this feel
it doesn't feel good or bad
My eyes lingeres to see
My digital longs to get signal
The signal from you

Do you see what you have done
Do you realise what you have done
Can you measure what you have done
Can you tell what you have done

Yes I said it
It feels not but in the head
It feels good when my digital
Connects you
It connects you to me
And my eyes sees
Sees what they long lingered for

You are my buddy buddy
You said so yourself
I don't know what future holds
What it holds for us buddies
But the current makes my eyes
My eyes continues lingering
Lingeres for my digital to connect
Yes to connect us

Buhle
Lettie May 2017
Was I created by the same God
That created this beautiful creature?

I asked myself.

If she is a living being,
What does that make me?

I asked myself.

Her angelic features, substituted all
The perfect and precious pictures in my mind.
For a brief moment I thought
I was healed from being blind.

Touching her hips,
felt like kissing
Her juicy lips…
Her figures makes a
dumb person to
Shout “Jesus”
And I call them
“the figures of speech”

I call her buhle…

Her glittering eyes simulates the
Reflection of the sun in the
Skies and seas.
She is the most precious stone
In the entire galaxy.

And i call her buhle…

Yena muhle shame
Maaka a dirang
Her nose so sharp like it could
Scratch my brown skin when
We kiss and leave a lovely scar
Right next to my chin.

I could tell by just a sniff
She is heading my way when
She is still afar…

Her teeth so white as snow…
She makes me rush when I am slow…
Steering at her,
Feels like watching my favourite show…
For a matter of fact,
She is my favourite show…

I do not call her like they do
They call her…
Sweet lom’khuhlane
Some call her…
Seponono sa dikoti marameng
Mmago ditshaba, moferehla moikutlo.
Ke ra yena mma kgosi wa bokone
Bophirima legaeng la maswi le mamapo
A dinosi
The mother of all heavens on earth

But I call her Buhle

Forgive me
Lettie May 2017
Yes it started as thoughts
Never pleasant thoughts
Uninvited thoughts
very hefty in me
This slowly yet very fast to consume

This creep in my mind
This thought are but of parting ways
My physical being has completed
and accepted its course of being defeated
What was left was but all in my mind

Slowly yet very fast to consume
It  feasted on me inside
There is nothing really inside
But the uncomfortable that came with it
made it impossible for me to exist

I fought this I promise
But the harder I fought
It struck with its sharpest swords
Whispering the words you lost

Day in day out with you
Was horrific
Yes with a forged smile on my face
But my inner was screaming repelling force

I never meant to shatter your heart
Yet I couldn’t love it
For your sake parting ways comes at bet
I hope my damaged soul will but
But not sink in with your precious one

You***
Lettie May 2017
I move you move
I settle you settle
I nod you nod
When I sleep you disappear

And I wonder
When I cry do you feel the my pain
I see your anger
I see your sloppiness
I see your confidence

At time I wish you can get up
Get up before me
Get up and give me your hand
Get up and lift me up

You are always here
Yet you never acted unless I do
You depend on me
I depend on myself

I need you because you need me
I see you because you follow me
Now I am you
Without pain
Emotion
Feeling
I am but empty

Thanks for being visible yet
You keep all to yourself
I see you and you see me
That is all that matters

Heart with eyes
Lettie May 2017
Love oh! Love
When the heart wanted but you
You gave yourself but half
Heart demanded full
And you decided to leave

Why did you leave
When the heart was in need
In need but only you
Not much but your heart
Your warm loving heart

Nothing else mattered but your heart
Loving soothing heart of mine
In you
I never wanted to share it
The heart that only belonged but to me

Eyes are for the face
never of the heart
But my heart had eyes
Eyes only for you

Feeling you touching my heart
Was heaven
Nothing else mattered but
But the moments and time
with you…

My heart want you
You only it cries
Can you see
My heart has eyes…
Eyes of the heart for only you

My light
Lettie May 2017
angels beautiful angels
I never knew but you are real
angel without wings

heart is warm
kind thoughts all the time
no finger is lifted
this comes natural

I am favored
indeed Gods love I see
I see it in you
you are sent, not from heaven but earth
to shower me with light

when dark seems to cover
your light appears
when I have forgotten his ways
seeing you I know he lives

in me he exists
I smile
peace follows you
peace I have when you are here
indeed you are an angel
you come with light

you light my path is yet to be
smooth is all I see
you are sent
yes for me
you are an angel

Heart
Lettie May 2017
I do not want to be too comfortable
what I feel inside is the calmness that comes with it
I refuse to let it absorbs me
this never commits
it scares me how my heart melts
I want to turn the tables
I want to run away but it caught me
my heart agrees when I do not agree
my heart fails me yet again

Hold on
Lettie May 2017
I sleep, dreams take me to you
Pure heart you are waiting to be reached
I feel, it feels good
I smile, yours warms me inside out

No words, no touches
Distance between me and her
But the desire is raving inside
Skin longs for unknown yet the heart knows

Awake the world in me is different
The day we meet
I will be awoken
Heaven from my feet up

Dear you...
time is near
hold on...... I am holding on
When souls meet then
heaven will open

happiness sleeping and awake

The struggle
Lettie May 2017
I do not understand his ways
I cannot predict his moves
I do not think I even approve his ways
I do not think it is his ways

The phone call brings more questions
Call that got me looking back to my thinking
Can this be the universe shifting things for me

When the struggle continues
And there is no peace
The call rings and on the other end it is the voice

I do not want to hear this voice
I do not want to see this being
But here we are
The universe possibilities made it possible

You are favoured
why is that I do not know
Even my heart worships you
I want to deny it that privilege
but it dishonour me
My own heart beats for someone else
My heart beats but for me

I feel betrayed
My heart is smiling
My thoughts are at peace
My emotions are calm

How can this happen
The universe made possible but for me
Oh! Why is she the chosen one
My struggles means nothing
Nothing that I agree to sacrifices
To sacrifice what I thought will bring me happiness

So I am back in your books
Seeing me in your books makes you happy
Your happiness is a struggle to me
While you are happy I am dying inside

No one understands
No one sees this
No one hears my cry

I have made the sacrifice
Sacrifices for my own happiness
I do not know how long my heart will last
But as long as it last you are happy

I want to wake up
I want this to be a dream
The dream that will never creeps in sleep no more
I will never know
As I do not know now

while waiting
Lettie May 2017
Day passes, night comes
peace creeps in the dreams
life in the dreams
Night yes night
Why you

Sorrow exits not
all in the mist …
yes mist of dreams
My sleep live life  
Beauty of life

Heart mind soul
All plays same beat
Life
All dreams

Heaven is
but yet day steals
And you gone
But live yes in distance

Only time then we find us
And awaken day and night
