HOPE Nov 2020
Love arrives like a whirlwind
Caught you between a rock
Either take you to the highest of highest
Or to the lowest of the lowest

All the way to the misunderstanding of you
Through uncontrollable feelings
Of which cannot be understood
Whereas her theory of love is drafted differently
How do you explain an unexplainable feeling?
HOPE Jun 2020
Shhh Listen,
to the beautiful sound of these lilies,
Listen attentively
to the sweet melodies they are making,
They are blossoming,
just like a morning sunrise
They are glowing,
like a colorful butterfly in the Spring season
Just as the human need oxygen, water I'll give them,
as I dine in their shadow and lend them an ear
these dozen bunch of my  lilies
HOPE May 2020
You taught me insecurity,
You taught me that my emotions,
are meaningless and unworthy
You taught me that women don't cry,
but the salty water have stained my heart

You left me with scars,
Scars that I'm never afraid to show,
Scars that have become my stepping stone to greatness
My wings have been mended again,
I'm learning to fly on my own
HOPE Nov 2020
Where thy soul stood
Is a blissfully wedded being
Whereas what is hidden within
Is mutilated pieces
HOPE Feb 2022
I kept missing you each moment,
And I scribbled you a text
It came back in the twilight,
Not delivered!
HOPE Dec 2020
In the end it made sense
When I enhanced
Personally for us
Yet he still chose himself
HOPE May 2022
You say you're okay!
But the ocean within your eyes,
Articulate a different prose.
HOPE Feb 2021
When He loves
Its never meaningless
He does it unconditionally

When He provides
Its never insufficient
He does it exceedingly

When He takes on your battle
He doesn't send angels
But He does it himself willingly

When He forgives
He doesn't only do it fourteenth
But He does it seventy times seven

And when He breaks you
He doesn't destroy you
But He does it with grace

I call Him one of a kind
HOPE Jan 2021
I aways look happier
In my twilight phantasms
For a minute until these eyes open
Then its back to reality of miserableness
HOPE Jul 2021
Lying there helpless
Heart beating against the clock
Drowning on the pool of his blood

A lighter in their hands
Burning sensation within them
Blink of an eye, already inhaling smoke
Its flame, flame and flame after flame

Laboratory, hospitals in flames
Coffins in the middle of the roads
Corpses decomposing in houses
"Brown is brainless" they say

I close my ears
To the sound of each trigger
As I say a silent prayer
"God, preservation of life"

Smell peace for the last time
As white swivel to red
Then red to ashes
Back to before 1994, I long to see freedom

Because our nation is burning
Pray for South Africa. All feels like a horror
HOPE Feb 2021
If time was on our hand
Like the sand in an hour glass
Why would we still break when we band?
Or be in precipitousness in case it lapse?
I'll be moving like a tortoise till I land
While detaining power of beauty that surpass
The possessive nature which place us in demand
HOPE May 2020
I thought and thought
Thought that pain,
is like a flower
A flower that wither when its not watered,
A flower that lose essence when its not nursed,
But pain never wither,
like stain it stays right in your heart
Bit by bit leaving emptiness at thy precious soul
HOPE Aug 2023
If I fail to keep you closer in my mind,
My ink knows your name,
And to the eternity it shall take you

Separation shall know not our name,
In heaven or on earth,
You are in a place of safety within my pen.
HOPE Jun 2021
Poetry is a song
Full of mellifluous verses
Written within the galaxy

Once you start rendering
It keeps flowing
As though the sky is pouring
Leaving you mesmerized
As if the ink can be stoppable
HOPE Mar 2022
Only your absence,
Taught me the significance of time
For in the presence,
I only have recollections hidden within my heart,
Not your availability.
HOPE May 2022
If it pours tonight,
It should be proof,
That I once loved.
HOPE Sep 2020
Wasted time,
Busy collecting stones,
Making fortune,
Building life over love

Elder I am,
Full of regrets,
Drooling over Rom com,
No hand holding mine,
But tear escaping thy eye,
Over "I should have"

Aging all alone,
written off love,
at tender age,
where I was supposed to find,
a piece of completion for cracky days
HOPE Sep 2020
Wasted moment
Over collection of stones
Turning them lime
More like chrome

Older I'm getting
Feeling all weary
Deeper with regrets
Just allowing it to rain

Maybe I should have
Tried to confuse fate
Causing this heaviness
Dwelling on this pale page
HOPE Feb 2022
I would close my eyes everytime,
So you didn't get to read between the line,
of how I turned into a broken vessel.

HOPE Dec 2020
Half pass midnight
Just a while ago
The scent of thy ink
Within her nostrils of passion
Kept faulting her of remissness
Until it landed on her palm at last
HOPE Sep 2021
Once upon a time
She found a companion
Who permitted her to sail
Within the pool of his heart,
Became the beats on his lips
Forever and a lifetime
Yet he made her parade
On fractured glasses
As she pick the share of her scars
HOPE Aug 2020
Wonderful made
with a diamond heart
that carries the sword by the sharp
through the bleeding hands
but still carries it through regardless

Overprotective of her cubs
like a Lion protecting its cubs
in the desserted land
where it so dark and dry
with no hope of making it
to broad daylight
Remember those bleeding hands
where she still give the warmest hugs

Miracle worker is who she is
her hands perform miracle
in the midst of what can't be undone
through the evening dawn
where the moon and the stars has become doomed

Energetic will be underestimation
rather define her as an empowerer
who empowers her cubs to believe in the impossible
because through her there is nothing that cannot be done

Natural is who she is
she don't pretend to be stuck on gender equality
but rather portray numerous character
that nature force her to carry on daily basis
to make the running of her household effortlessly
She is a woman
HOPE Jul 2020
When I take a glance at thyself,
surely God has put an extra essence for such beauty
The flawless radiance of thy skin,
that even flies cannot dare to touch,
in surrender of thy beauty,
is exquisite
Even if she can choose a thing to vow on her beauty,
not even a human being words,
can be of a sentimental vaue,
only the heart can define such
She is beautiful,
even the book of song of songs were written,
in the fascination of her beauty
HOPE Jun 2020
Can you see this darkness,
darkness that is buried within her soul?
Can you feel this heaviness,
this heaviness that is blinding thy heart?
Can you sense this emptiness,
this emptiness that is making her soul to wonder?

She just wanna be free,
free of this undescribable feeling,
free from this undefinable feeling,
free out of this unpleasant chapter,
the chapter that brought sorrow and grief
HOPE Apr 2021
There were decades
Where it felt like years
Hours that felt like months
Minutes that felt like days

Each second feeling like
The sun could no longer rise
Where her eyes are lifted up
Rather filled by this twilight

Every morning welcomed
By puffy eyes within her face
No longer cheeky laugh
That happiness looks as

Bit under the weather
Emotions all over the place
Silent in His presence
Tears doing the talking

For the longest time she smiled
Revealing the glimpse of her dimples
As a sound of a victory
Through the storm she made it
HOPE May 2020
When she's happy,
she writes
When she's sad,
she writes
When she's hurt,
she writes
When she misses,
she writes
When there is no wink of sleep in the middle of the night,
she still get in touch with her ink and a paper

She has found her hiding palace,
in the hands of her beautiful black diary
She has found comfort,
in the fascinating creation of her pen
That exquisite glance she get everytime she get in touch with her writings,
gives her a new breeze out of nature
The feeling of having to express her feeling without judgement,
gives her new outlook on life
Words are her chariots
Inks are her swords
Writting is the stain in her veins
HOPE Oct 2020
Today I woke up
Closed my eyes again
And said a little prayer
Then again I went silent
Yet I had so much to say

Heart was pouring out
Silent as the lips were
Flowing as the tears were
With every breath I was able
Yet I said only "Thank you"
Sometimes you don't need to say much but thank you as it speak million words already
HOPE Oct 2020
Drunk she feel
Legs becoming weaker
Tipsy as she becomes
Eyes becoming heavier
Slowly paying no attention

Memory became blurry
Just as tongue turned loose
Talking more and more
Of her agony as well as misery

Under the musk she wears
Musk of smiles as well as of laughters
She is slowly drowning
Yet she feel better off drunk
HOPE Jul 2020
On this sunny day
with thy uncertain certainty of thee earth
the wind blowing from east to west
allow me to smile from cheek to cheek
the broken chords of my guitar
is no longer broken
but playing beautiful sweet melodies
that is allowing me to smile from cheek to cheek

It is a brand new day
full of hope and generosity
and my strings is resting beneath a new born sun
as I play a new a song
song which have never been heard on thee face of the earth
through this customized guitar full of unbroken chords
through these adjusted strings of hope
releasing melodies like of new Jerusalem
as I dance through this rhythmic of my worship
Smiling from cheek to cheek
HOPE Jul 2020
When you closed your eyes,
And took the last breath

Not frightened of the journey awaiting you,
Yet steady to spread your wings to the heavenly realms,
Where your wounds would be erased forever

Your wings were ready baby,
What about my heart,
Ripped apart to million pieces?

I thought it's another prank,
Until you walked in in mama's room in a little coffin,
So heavy yet so little,

Sleeping so peacefully as if I could just tickle you until you smiled,
like you always did,
Yet you betrayed me,
How bittersweet...

I stood there so still,
Yet tears weren't so still
As I took a long glance of what seemed to be the shortest,
I got to see you for the last time, remember?

Yet my feet of strength failed me,
As I trembled down to the ground,
As if I could hear God whisper a miracle,
Yet nothing, but a betrayal

Ashes to ashes,
dust to dust,
Your spirit back to the Father,
Your body to the ground,
to be feasted by these worms

Just like flower withers,
So did you....
HOPE Jul 2021
Maybe I believed too much in their intimacy
That I unlearned to indoctrinate this brittle heart
Pros and cons of disappointment
Now it all feels like hallucinations
That can never swivel into authenticity
Maybe I just believed much in the tale
Yet they took it as a play
Still I feel broken
HOPE Jul 2020
In this rainy day,
where everything is uncertain,
and storms keep shutting the open doors,
tell me I'll be alright
I've been soaked,
in the ocean of this tears that refuse to stop,
in these dark holes that keep shutting down on me,
tell me I'll be alright

I have hope,
that I can see the rise of a rainbow,
the sunset in the direction of the east,
if only you can tell me I'll be alright
HOPE Jun 2020
Birthed me,
nursed me,
trained me,
And most of all you loved me

to the womb that became my home for 9 months,
to the arms that never grew weary for years,
to the chest that turned my pillow for decade,
to the back that forever bended for me to find a comfort place of sleep,
and to the lap I'll never outgrow for,
I raise my fist up there in the sky to say,
Thank you
HOPE Sep 2021
Of what once was called love,
The enigmatic intimacy
sparkling as diamonds
Ocean blue as violets,
Look, it doesn't look red as Roses anymore

Flashback sails within the galaxy
As clouds journeys within the sky
Grief has taken over the dance
And happy feet seem to find no rhythm
In the end all withered, like flowers it did
HOPE Aug 2023
I met someone the other day,
Turns out to be a long lost piece of the puzzle
How I know? the heart always knows

Must be in the way his heart beats out of tune,
whenever I lay my head on his chest,
As he wrap his arms around me
That I know I found the one

It's in the way he get lost within my eyes
And I suddenly feel butterflies in my tummy
The way he hold my hand
And I instantly desire to dive right in

My heart has found its home
How I know? the heart always knows
HOPE Apr 2022
Is diving through the ocean
One can only grasp in her dreams
Yet I find it within your eyes
HOPE Aug 2020
Eyes dripping
Tears full of blood,
with half quarter of my heart,
bleeding over love,
which was never suppose to hurt,
but rather to be drunk on it,
and swim in the ocean full of happiness

Its better to love than to never love at all
But what if love can never be enough,
to the extent where my heart is able to accommodate?
Maybe is my calling,
calling to stay alone and nurse my insecurities
as I dine in the pool of my sorrow
witnessing the ocean of my happiness dry
HOPE Sep 2021
A beautiful Spring Monday
with lilies dancing in the sun
with the melodies of the bees chanting
like happy feets in the musical concert

The butterflies roaming around
wearing their colourful clothing
which they cannot see
yet the world can

It looks overwhelming,
you should see the view
HOPE Feb 2022
With fists on air ready to fight,
I came into this world
Separated with a home I only knew,
I let out a soft moan then fell asleep
With a touch of her hand,
I gazed into the world full of uncertainty
And I was attached,
attached to a home that isn't my home
Creating rooms where hatch are forever terminal

I wish we do not have to follow the pattern,
But humans were created to love and be loved,
Love which comes with greater agony
I believe when creation took place,
"Forever" should have form part,
Then we would be together for a lifetime

Yet it begins with one,
Then two becoming one,
And swivel into a family
"Till we meet again in heaven"
Then again, On my own
With my universe turned upside down!
HOPE Jun 2020
Heartache can fade,
Dreams can fade,
Hope can be lost,
so as faith
But the love of ink,
in the piece of a paper,
can never fade away
My diary and my pen got my back
HOPE Feb 2021
I'm still gonna see you
In the midnight dreams

Your eyes full of sparkle
Ocean blue in the Mediterranean
In the middle of summer

I will be holding you
Through pocket sized necklace
You gave me while dancing under the stars

The photo album
We created the other night
While promising each other infinity

While dancing like old times
When they play our song on the Radio
And our feet just twitching to every beat

I'm still gonna see you
Because this is not goodbye
HOPE Dec 2020
Beneath each smirk
Lies a thorn *****
Always leaving a mark
HOPE Jan 2021
As I dine here
In this lonely nights
beside my shadow
All alone full of thoughts

Fixing these eyes
through the sunset
that keeps deeming
and deeming deep to the west
overshadowing this tiny light
Shining through thee hour glass

I dine here
drowned from this rain
of this thunder, this storm
Feeling weary and worn-out
While the sunrise lies
within the locked palm of thyne hand
Sometimes you just have to look within you and you'll realize that for the the sun to rise on your favor, it lies within you
HOPE Feb 2021
He told me to count the stars onetime
And he said if I lose track of time
He'll love me for a lifetime
HOPE Sep 2020
The door to tommorow,
Opens in the shadows of today,
So brush aside the path of sorrow,
And make your way

Changing your appurtenance,
To tackle your tomorrow with less scowl,
As you swing regrets into experience,
And channel through your scope
HOPE Jan 2021
Just two imperfect mates
Breeding perfection
through each other's imperfections

The pertinacious hearts
Breeding immortal devotion
through incredulous twinkies
HOPE Jan 2022
I idolise it here
And despise it here,

We rekindled our love,
Under the stars,
Looking at the moon
Yet part of me died in here.
HOPE Oct 2020
Handcuffed
Bruised
Detention
Cooped up in this tiny room

Hysterical
Terrorised
Trapped in this web
Mind full of thoughts

Trials
Tribulations
Persecutions almost all side
Arrows shooting all directions

Becoming talk of the town
Painted as carnivores
And Crucified by humankind
Still they remain unshakable
HOPE Jun 2020
Back to the cell
Where I long for freedom
and a breeze of a sunlight
and to be excused of unjustified doings I did

But at this moment,
none of it matter than the hunger that I feel
But the thing that can only quench it seems unreachable,
just like the key that defines my freedom
As the the sky is the limit,
so is my strength to getting the bread of life

To the key of freedom,
I stretched not my hand
But to the bread that sustain life,
I stretched out my hand to have a piece of it
The bread of life that shall keep me alive
HOPE Apr 2020
Perfect people for perfect family
Perfect family for perfect internal peace
Internal peace leading to everlasting joy
Only to find out that everlasting joy don't last forever
Its only a matter of time before its all gone in vein
Yet we think we never deserved it all

Why do this kind of love gives us false hope,
As if we can stay like this forever?
Why do happiness come and mislead us,
whereas it is gonna depart from us within a blink of an eye?
It is all pain pain pain and pain again
It is all tears tears tears and tears again,
Until shedding our tears becomes a daily bread

Daddy's name is called pain,
we find a hiding place in him no more, and lost a long of belonging
Mommy's name is courageous no more but lonely,
that bright smile I used to wake up to in the morning its all gone and buried
that sweet warm hug I used to get before I went to bed,
has turned out to be the coldest planet within her arms
And they named me sorrow,
because bitterness dine at the palm of my hands and I am angry,
angry at the world where I feel suffocation of every second

Perfect family for who? Perfect peace for who?
Its all down the drain because of this man called pain!
