TO DREAM AND YET DISSAPOINT ONESELF

 


She spoke with nothing but kindness
She faced every stroke 
Kindly like caressing the stars
With every word spoken
There was a sense of immense
Knowledge deep and yet so simple
Yet so comprehensible 
Yet so relatable.
 
She spoke of life
The endless misery befalling 
Drowning, 
The people of my people
Engulfed in flames
Their dreams and hopes
And reality.

"I see a world in a grain of sand"
with these eyes of a young man
The world is slowly slipping like sand
In an hourglass 
Emptied now, I seek new beginnings.

DEATH.
LIFE.

Life is in shambles 
My life is shambles
Crumbling down
like a slowly dying 
Star
Yet exhilarated 
for I will explode
And that in itself
is new LIFE.

Sit down and quietly listen

 Raynolds, listen i know you're hurting you smile and laugh but like old rocks you crumble as you giggle Raynolds i love you but you have to love yourself too you speak so lightly of misery you disregarded yourself so much that you dont even notice the depression Raynolds this is enough  You cry when you're alone  how empty and tough To threaten yourself with suicide poetry do you think it alright to want to die for acceptance dream only of you be selfish and care only for you can you tell how much suffering is there you cant you cant and it isnt fair you will die... Alone. and no one your kin  will send you away with songs -: But its okay its alright i don't mind a lonely death I dont mind a miserable end i will smile as i go as fake as it will be this hurt i will never show.

Her, the girl in her smiles.

I. With a voice so low Only my heart can hear  Her... With a smile so daring  My eyes and my soul Close in with minuscule fear... Her... Her vibrant soul, Her uniqueness  And her eyes her eyes... Like the sea at night,  Like the deepest secrets One can never hide  Imbued with hue dark brown Light as it silhouettes  She stares I glare... Frozen without intent Her, this woman that I love This woman beguiling and cunningly smart She takes me where... "The antelopes roam" To a place in her- where I can never be alone. The moon of love resides in her wonderous beauty Beaming and gleaming this heart of mine Greasing to a softness the sweetness of a smile This one I love so ever deeply This one did not take me as a storm... She was the storm, the thunder and the lighting...  This one I love, this one my heart will forever be hers... And my soul infinitely lost in dreams of touching her soul... Her lips and her face She did not just bring love, She came as the...

Why?

 A father smiled and told me I wish I killed my daughters first, So they didn't have to see me kill their mother. His hands were bleeding, from the tight cuffs His face bloodied and eyes swollen  It seems the police had a talk with him... He smiled at me and said When you do write about me Please, tell them I killed myself:  I don't deserve to live, not in anyone's mind. It was a normal spring eve, in the hot sections of Giyani D When a man, Zaza Maswanganye (33) called the police after failing to kill himself... When the police arrived to his house unprepared for what he did not say... "I almost shot him dead, right there and there." Said S.Murena to SABC news. If I look at you and your eyes are red If I face your face and your face is pale, If I say nothing, why are your tears falling? We came here when the trees were full  And the grass housed the things we didn't call home... But we brought our smiles and birthed a haven We had this poetry that almost scen...
