you down
with dance and laughter
till disaster
strikes
is a white knight
on a steed
but take heed

The devil wears
ripped jeans
and sports a tan
but understand
underneath the six-pack
and muscles
lies hustler
not a man

The devil wears
his wit
like a written manuscript
has his lines so define
wraps you up
like you were twine
Oh, The If's
If I were only half
the man I used to be,
I would be a whole
lot better off.
Hell, I would settle
for even one third.
her
The river of her soul,
the smoothness of it,
  its calmness
as it drifts,
  like a river of her soul
, it soothes one
, it drowns one,
cleansing one
  
deep within
  you will find love
It lies on my 3rd finger
It glints in the sun
It's the color of the ocean

It makes me smile
It makes me cry
It's full of love

It's full of life
It's full of death
It's the happiest day of my life
It's the sadist day of my life

A poem about the story behind my engagement ring
Don‘t
Cling
To
Me
I’m
Quite
Unstable
jy is volbring
‘n groeiende
lewende
polsende
ding
swem uit
duik in
spartel los
en spring
gil of sing
dit wat jy kry
is dit wat jy bring
I am city no doubt
love the safe haven
of instability
and fast-moving cars
no room for death
There was a time
I was connected to the bracken
to the brooks and the wide open
fields filled with flowers
from the pages of yore
Nature spoke to me
the forest whisperer
I was in an enchanted land
created by me
I took refuge there
youth shielding me
from apathetic eyes
at the lonely black
girl talking to the sky.
I
hear
demons calling
cryptic rhymes in
voodoo chimes
  flesh eating foe
