His love saves the night
gentle wings plumes of a child
His blood overcame the dark
for us to live in the light
All across the land dawns a brand new day.
have yourself a blessed Christmas:)))❤

A journalist in Gaza
Khoisan Oct 2023
He writes of the spaces in between
where few actually notice
taking note of movements
like blowing a whistle
he nibbles on his quill
observing shadows
below his lantern.

Alone in the dark
Khoisan Jan 2021
In the quest for the existential
need of nuturing oneself

we dangle in the jungle
by burning candles

it is a super humane thing
drawing ink from another

Secret leaks from
a writer's pen

for we were blind

even keeping
the true devil in mind

sacred to ourselves
as we trip by default
over our own thin lines.
It is good to acknowledge
in reference
A poet who inspired.

I

my blood boils over

seeking the soul
who
ignited the light.

Plight of the dreamcatcher.
Khoisan May 2022
I don't ponder
as much as I wonder
is it worth a revelation
do the mind sleep
shut-eye
in the folds of its keep,
are souls
pure beings
devoid of any
role?
half-night,
half-light
half love,
half-life
visitors of the fifth kind?
instilled within
the sinews of our mind.

Vanity of Vanities
Khoisan Aug 2018
From the colloseum of
vanity

His opaque desecrated
Light

Eluded her sanity

Locked onto venom lips

The ghost from his mouth

Burnt a hole in her soul

And then It swallowed them whole
Vanity a boring and pointless perception
Please be careful of that pitfall

Absenteeism.

I found myself
in a circle of chips
fighting the circus of life
if only the old oak
could shed some light
I guess his bark
was bigger than his bite.

War overcoming (PTSD)
Khoisan Aug 2021
Raw burnt fingertips
hell bound blown
overexposed
scull thought to the bone
in the overtone of death's
ever risising crimson tides
still your love for humanity
must never die
I heard it in the rain
falling from so many eyes
you are free from it all
for the meek and mild
were also the bold
blood became water,
streaming
from a fearlfull heart
of stories
never been told.

The African Renaissance
Khoisan Jun 2018
Though the rooms of her heart might be shattered
Her strong will and majestic grace remains resolute
She bore the remnants of ochre like tattoos on the walls of her body
As she cradled humanity's first born with promise
Her eyes bore the ravages of battles lost
Yet her reserves will lead us into the future as a blueprint from the beginning
And she will be called the matriarch angel of the universe
Khoisan Jun 2024

Alone in my terminal
transformed by the scalpel
the mirror is my surgeon
and youth my captor
love is eternal
still, how can a heart be mended
if the demand is evergreen.

Long live the Baobab Tree
Khoisan Sep 2018
A matriarch of splendour
Her soul birthed the rights
Of passage to kings her trunk
Hoisted the heads of toddlers
To the apex of the African sky
A seasoned warrior a pinnacle of hope
Her bark bear the brunt of
Battlescars and hieroglyphics
The crowning glory of her delight
Is her children paying homage
To her For over six thousands years
Long live the Baobab
Long live Her Majesty
Please find time to read about the African Baobab tree

The Cartography of being.

[ A
straight line is the shortest distance between
two
points ]

A
text
a
call
even!!!
a
dream

does my soul
suit
the
demographic
of
your being

are we
two of a kind
do we
share the same heart

are we
closer in person
even!!!
poles apart

In our quest to find a soulmate
Do we tread
a
crooked line
How are we as individuals
positioned
in
the
Cartography
of being.

The alter of the anvil
Khoisan Oct 2018
Shards of self
Lay scattered in the blood
Of our past
Seasons come and seasons go
Tongue upon steel
Tempered at the alter of the anvil
Into full bloom
Neither satisfied nor solemn
We must make a choice
Grace for the future
From the Masters voice
God is here
Where am I
Choices to make
God loves me
I love you
Enjoy your Sunday
GOD BLESS

A collage of tragedy

Weep
Khoisan Apr 2019
There is a story behind tears
breaking
in
joy or fear
a
melody
of
seeds
filtrates
the
ground
a
song of hope
that
sprouts
from
a
sound
Weeping is therapy to the soul
don't feel ashamed to cry
It helps
It is recommended
In the Bible
Jesus wept three times
It is a normal human emotion

Thats the question
Khoisan Aug 2019
Are the Australian tied to the Kangaroo the great outback and the boomerang?
Are the African tied to the tassels of the Baobab tree the pyramid and the Nile crocodile?
Are the European tied to the red Carnation?
Are the Americas tied to the wings of the Eagle?
Are the Asians tied to the rice paddy the great wall the silk route and the Ganges?
Are the Antarctican tied to the polar bear?
Are the Oceanic tied to the deep blue sea?
Is humanity tied to this beautiful planet?
