I shouldn't have presented
a bandaid

Second chances
Khoisan Jun 2018
Many are the vagrants who roam
The streets of my mind
They knock on the ceiling of my scull
As I ponder their plight
Restlessly climbing into my human emotions
Taring at the twines that bind us together
As they mercifully hold on to the strings
Frantically crying out
Please forgive us... forgive us
And I did
We all make mistakes and sometimes craves forgiveness

Jews-over- gentiles
followed by
Fool's gold and Blood-diamond

The-rainbow-got-it-right

A point to ponder
There are no black or white present in the colours of the rainbow

Poured measured and forged

Yell of the Harlot.
Khoisan Oct 2019
Stuck in the devil's turnstiles,
where the patron pays cash
for stilettos and stockings,
mocking fame,
with the right frame,
the yell!!! of the harlot,
queued and barbered
in the dead-end
of the pimps game.
They are conditioned to suffer
they are trapped, judged and jailed
still, they are human in the deep end of wrong choices and there are devils who keep them there

To all the poets/poetess and those to come

Khoisan Jan 22
The atmosphere
tense and tangible
her face evoked an attraction
it spoke of smoke
dark thoughts and calamity
after action-satisfaction
according to lore
she hails from Lexington.

Savouring the rainy day
Khoisan Jan 2020
On that particular sunny day
I looked in the mirror
and saw a rainy day
embracing the silver lining
behind me stood the love
I had saved up for
touching my hair
and gently stroking the grey
Her love outshines the grey

Mid- Summers, nightmare
brushing teeth with a scalpel
closer encounters.
Dreams and nightmares

Khoisan Apr 2022
Wrong crowd empty cup
she dipped her toes
in the wrong throes
tumbling like a lost kite
head-spinning
blinded by the height,
the eyes have vision
but this naive girl
had compromised her sight,
abandoned and disgraced
catching the twenty-two
in-between
a rock and a hard place.
Unseal your own drinks
pour your own cups
and scrutinize all meals
you have the right
to be careful.

Time and tide ?
Khoisan Jun 2018
Tick...tock...tick...tock
Am I afraid
Of course I am
Back and forth
The pendulum swings both ways
Expertly filleting the youth from my flesh
Shredding my lightbrowns
And replacing it with a nice
Even spread of pepper
While gently etching creases
Into my face
Timeously chopping into my bones
As the belly fat weighs me down
Then suddenly hitting the back
So picking up the heavy's a big no.no
And finally slicing into the mind
Where confusion strikes
And the car keys is missing....again
Sorry have to go now
My next birthday party's comming up
Call it what you want (catch 22) or(caught between a rock and a hard place)let's do it gracefully
