Mama Africa
Mama Africa,

She's a blessing to mankind,

Her soil is fertile and lush,

Her skies are forever sunny and blue,

Underneath the soil lies minerals still yet to be touched.

She has worked for her children, oh, if only they knew!.

Blessed to be born in the bossom of mama Africa,

Cursed!, we allow her to waste and wither

She cries tears of blood, as she watches her children slaughter their brethren for selfish gain

When would we Learn, children of Africa!

When will we learn, we are one Africa!.

Beautiful sadness
She had a dark soul.
Sadness devoured her heart and ate her spirit,
Yet she glowed.
Bringing light to everything she touched.
She had eyes that could darken the depth of the ocean,
And a smile that outshone the brightest star.
She was sad,
But her sadness was beautiful.
She smiled so bright, free spirit roaming

You could see the moonshine through her Stary eyes,

Longing for more,

Nothing was ever enough.

Her blessing was her curse,

From roaming the street at night, watching the night sky

To roaming to find a little night high.

Those little pills gave her the widest smile, the wildest heart

The night's fun turned into misery

From a nocturnal to a creeper

I watched her smile crumble,

Moonshine eyes turned to darkness.

She was like a flower,
But she blossomed in the desert.

jean grey (An expression)
jean grey
Red top on a white dress
My baby with the long legs
I kissed her with such passion
And she kissed back with clear abandon
My baby, my baby
Seeing the world through her eyes, nothing feels better
Ride on top of me, I’ll let you ride to wherever if you let me ride you whenever
This is not love. Its pure addiction.
Check my bio to feel the full expression. wolf
We sowed, we watched it grow.
Pretentious, We watched it from a distance.

The flowers bloomed a fake velvet, with the  scent of fake daisies. Pretentious, We watched it from a distance.

The leaves soon withered a fake brown, crumbling down one by one. Pretentious, we watched from a distance.

Soon there was nothing left but the fake smell of withering and dead flowers.

My fake plants died because I refused to pretend to water them anymore.

Love yourself
Her hair was scattered, the wind blew it all over the place, she hated that

She often covered her eyes with locks of her long brown hair to avoid the attention her deep blue eyes bring

She covered her long enchanting legs in thick wool stockings, she thought her legs were ugly

I watched her from a corner, this beautiful piece of art hiding behind her fear of public opinion

Her long brown dreaded hair, her deep blue eyes, her long legs, her deep brown skin....all made her a goddess

But she never knew, because she was always afraid of the way it made people look at her

They worshipped her and she didn't know.

She didn't love herself the way i loved her.

Distorted illusions
Wading through galaxies, I’m floating with fairies and pixies

The scene looks picture perfect beautiful pixels

I can’t feel a thing. Novacane to these emotions

Come ride on this high with me, making memories we can’t even remember

Fogs of despair slowly disappear

Long bursts of ecstasy, short waves inbetween fantasies

Dark heart, cold soul fade to black. Don’t bring the light back.

Make the darkness infinite, never bothered me much anyways

Identical to the milky way, on the edge of euphoria

Cant explain these butterflies, lilies blossom out of clear water

Good intentions, delusions of a deluded brother

This is a love crime, pure ******

Might be cold in the winter, but I want you for the summer.

psychedelic love note
Red smells like velvet fire
Blue smells like aqua sea
Yellow smells like golden sun
Pink smells like wet softness
Green smells like burning bush
White smells like angel dust
Black smells like my soul
And you smell like all combined.
A free man, born as a king,
Lost in this jungle, with no idea of who he is

Spent all his years wondering, in search of a greater purpose.

Toiling everyday and night trying to find a way home.

He dint know he was to rule, an emperor being ruled by his subjects.
With no idea of his identity, starting to believe he is who they say he is.

Everyday he laments on the misfortune fate bestows in him,
Looking at the heavens crying out for change

All he had to do was search for the power within, the power he kept dormant and turned to naught.

Accepting this wretched date, he toils till he turns to soil.

He was a freeman, born as a King and died as a slave.

Butterfly Effect
Butterfly Effect

Butterfly on my forehead,

I think about and i create; called that the butterfly effect,

I get my power from the waves and the moon,

Now they are gone, too soon.
I think and realise they never left,

Dawn till noon, I sit content, I wait on the sun, I ride on a rainbow,
Gliding through the stars I'm in stealth mode.

On the outside looking in, I spread my wings.
I'm going to float, till I see no more ends

Open my eyes, I'm back on my feet,

I look around at this new reality

I think about and I create.
Must be that butterfly effect.

Pretty Flower
Pretty flower,
So much deeper than all them flowers.

Sweet nectar, need a taste from that cookie jar.

Open up when the sun shine
The glitters reflect of the petals, shine

And when the moon light shines
And waves of your ocean align,

We would dive deep and cause a shock wave,

And ride them till the moon light goes away

Its a difficult place when you kiss like this
I'm tryna make it work but you don't understand this
I'm giving it my all but you act like you don't want this
But its harder every time that you kiss like this.

On shaky knees I stand
Come and take my hand,
There's nothing left to do
But fall in love with you.

Brings a tear to my eye when you're with him like this
How I tried and I tried but you still love him like this
You say you're done but I know that your soul is still his
And in the night when we love I know you're not mine, you're his.

All I did, I did for you
And if there's more I swear that's what i would do,
What's he offering you, what's he promising you
I swear its not better than what I would do.

Its a difficult place when you kiss like this
But all I can do is keep fighting like this

(inspired by Majid Jordan's 'A place like this')

My Angel, Your Demon
Let me be your demon
'tis the first thought I had when you held me under the sun,

My black heart has been searching
For pure love I've been longing

I don't deserve the calm you bring
Your voice I'm reminded of when I hear birds sing

It's you I think of when I sing
Only thing on my mind when I think

Come let me be your demon, save me from my hell
Come, be my angel.

Infidel's love letter
White candles,
Rose petals,
Floating clothes,
Our bodies close
Our minds afloat.

With you its calm
Love making every time
But its all a sham
Cause' I'm not your man

As is life, so is death
The gardens were lush, the air was fresh
This valley at peace, its all that I knew
The sky shone a beautiful blue, weaving and waving, the clouds formed anew
But out of the dept, that dark gust blew through, and alas in a flash it was all gone.
Peering through blurry eyes of mine
Around I looked, my valley was dry
Reaching the peak of sadness and pain
Another life was lost yet again
Death will come at night in the cold
Over the weak, the young, the old
Xylem of life is death, I was told.
Acrostic poem. Find the paradox in The last 7 lines. wolf

Black phoenix
The scenery is pure white, bright with emptiness

Slow breaths, slow steps as i watch my mind fly over the horizon

The wind feels warm, softly it caresses my pale face

As I feel the darkness rising, my white fading to a crimson black

Slowly I feel the pressure choking me

No reason to breathe, I let the darkness swallow me

I have no fear, I accept this wretched fate

For I know out of the ashes I will rise, like a black phoenix.
I am black. I am wolf

Art without ink
I hate the way I feel.
I feel my soul escaping,
My essence is draining.
I don't know where I belong,
I don't know where I come from.
I search for the meaning of my existence and all I see is darkness.
I'm art without ink,
I'm poetry without words.
I'm empty,
I'm nothing but empty.

fuzzy thoughts
Walking down the street, thoughts about your crazy lies

How we fuss and how we fight but be never do goodbyes

It’s a lonely world without you, how’m I ever getting by.

Shove you and you shove me too

Kiss you and you kiss me too

Hold me, I’m not leaving you

Smoke a ****, I think of you

The more I move away from you, I’m haunted by the thoughts of you

Messing with my heart, my soul

You think I’m never letting go

I’ll just love a little more and then I’m loving you no more.
Don't fall in love with me, I'm not ready for you.
Im not strong enough to behold your beauty.
Im not strong enough to support your mind.
You beauty confuses me, Your essence distorts my existence.
I want you, but I cant have you.
If you fall for me I'll only waste your time, I'll only break your heart.
Let me grow,
Let me become a man,
Let me become strong enough.
I will come for you.

Looking for the wind
Looking at the sky. I see your spirit move

On with the wind, free like the butterfly

You always said you loved the air. The freedom it brings

I never wanted you to go but your spirit has always been free

Sometimes its not goodbye, its see you in a better place

I close my eyes and feel you with me

A soft kiss presses against my cheek and I know you're with me

I will not cry when I think of you or feel sad remembering your smile

Till I see you again, I wont stop looking for the wind.

Lover's dance
Floating in space
With clouds and blue sky as comfort
My lips on your lips they lift us
The hope to reach home is pressing
With two wings and no wind to help us through
I soar deep into something close to the stars with cottons as white as wool
And walls as soft as you
This heaven should get me to my sweetest point
All I ask is to breath you in and drop into your land made of water.

Letter to my companion
We walk this path alone, you my friend and I
I trust no one else to walk this journey with me
In front of me when it gets tough,
Beside me when it gets lonely
Behind me to push me on
Beneath me to carry me through
Best friends when its bright
And enemies when it gets dark
I tried to hide and run from you
But find I have alot to loose
I realise there's nothing I can do,
Without my shadow to walk this lonely path with me.

Lisa's poem
I want you for the summer.
Something short and so memorable that it leaves you wondering,
You're plagued with memories and longings soo deep,
That it scars your soul forever.
But you see the beauty in the scars,
The beauty in not knowing what could have been,
The beauty in craving what will never be
