Callous vs Naïve
Khoisan Jul 2018
Desperate I stood
Bruised from shame
A man on the edge of decay
With an olive branch
She brought me back
Into her forgiving heart
The next morning self-satisfied
I left without remorse or goodbye
For the young and the restless be careful out there

A love poem.
Khoisan Jul 2019
Beyond the mystic
of
your love

Beauty strokes the rainbow
running down my beard
from
the
blushes
of
your grace,
into
the
inner sanctum
of
the
glory
that
rapture my face.
I
graze
in
the
sweet serenity
of
your
essence
whom
carries my soul.

Slain
I
am.

Beyond the mystic
of
your love.
I've written very few love poems
all of them I write for or about my
lovely wife
Anthea
This poem was
inspired
by
Johnny Walker
for his infinite joy
of
writing about his late wife
Helen
God bless her soul

Still, here we are

It was the emergency room
He recognised them all
Some looked very happy
Some looked concerned
Some were crying
Some making prayerful gestures
But none looked like sugarman
He was too busy milking the
Lifeblood out of someone else
Drugs dealers don't rule they steal the lives of our love ones

Remember September.
Khoisan Sep 2024
The sky was blazing
fingers point at
the distance of never
concrete crumble
rose petals puffs
a big heart
no more ashes only love
Phoenix's rise in a silvered sky
the Angels still sing
from the olive branches
our Doves they will never die.
Khoisan Oct 2022
Take me back to that boat on the river

where innocence doesn't hide
risk wears a sleeve
and fear quickly dies.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the meek makes brave
and danger is kept
in its shallow grave.

Take me back to that boat on the river

where the rapids grow wild
and life lives carelessly
through the eyes of a child.

Another kiss on the cheek
like a bus it hit me
there is a first time
and a last time
for everything
blood lips after skin
with newfangled revenge
from the age of once to heaven
in a space
where winter gathers momentum
a man such as I
seeks a clean slate
for your kissered-become
are colder than pain
at a point far beyond zero
my heart must melt the blizzard
as my Love for you
muster upward
counting the years
your tears
my rain.
Then heaven I shall enter
albeit waiting on you
are solely in vain.
