Finding Hello
Khoisan Feb 2022
Yesterday
I took a walk in the park
found Hello
but she refused to play
I saw the heartbeat, of Helios
lofty heels horses kick
but nothing came my way
the sunflower
dropped its head
the nightcrawlers fled
I scratched my head
yet hello had nothing
left to say
On the night of mares
with no place to let
drafted to death
I mean a man is a man
a woman needs her love
talking heads
meet and treat
love doves,
only happen
after hey.

The arrival
Khoisan Jul 2018
Excitement,congrats, balloons pink or blue
Showers flowers laughter planned or unplanned
ladies bring gifts and men brought beer
Out of the womb they pop without fear
Is it a he or is it a she nine months of waiting
Finally free nurture them hug them but remember
                            T O LOVE THEM
                    U N C O N D I T I O N A L Y
Precious pearls tiny snowflakes unique tiny tots love them to bits

Return to sender
Drug addicts often
go to the extreme of extortion
beautiful kids
gets really messed up
and hurt themselves so bad just to get money and sympathy from their loved ones
while the drug merchant prosper
Don't get me wrong it is as well attempts of reaching out for help
in really extreme cases these kids
needs serious rehab.

The kissing booth.

seen in an old dusty garage

the lense took a GODLY take

of two birds kissing for day's

a picture of what could've been

LIFE on the front page.

Emotional rescue
Khoisan Jul 2019
He gave her flowers
Her eyes exploded
He consumed her emotions
She could not contain the joy
Torrents of blue for red roses.
Some days are blue
this is true
roses are red
put's that to bed
Surprise her:)
Khoisan Mar 2021
Sometimes our expectations
devours our strength
instead of being content
until the right moments arrive
too late too little never enough
bury our patience and loses
the best we had to offered
and never received.

The shroud of Mary.
Khoisan Sep 23
They saw her weave
a cross of a martyr's belief
ochre deep strong yet meek
a heart who raises
the dead from sleep
In vain beneath
the falling rain
with a quill dipped in blood
and a word full of peace.

Today's fortune
Khoisan Aug 2018
Fortunately I don't know
When it's my time
So I forgive and forget
Even myself without regret
I live for today tomorrow's
Far away
A smile on good mornings
With children I play
I do the dishes
Although I'm a little bit grey
A smile to the neighbour
Of sunbeam displayed
I sometimes say bad stuff
Grumpy dismayed
But do not repeat it I'm so afraid
For in this great moment
We call today
There's only one chance
And this I will say
My time or yours
Will be remembered
As sunshine or rain

MUTE AS MONEY
Khoisan Jul 2018
The judge asked him to speak
All he kept on saying was
The money made me do it
The money drove me to it
The money did that
The money did this
Then the judge said looking at
The money infront of him
If you can  convince
This money to talk
I will set you free from all charges
He then looked at the pile of money
Crying profusely he said
Your honour
Don't you know....MONEY CANT TALK
The love for money (that is mute)is the root of evil
Khoisan Jul 2024
Where parallels collide  
one wallowing
in the wind
one slipping from the sun
suffering in vain
swarms over the eclipse
where love
survives over pain
butterfly and moth
are best
left alone
flying in the rain.
Today I saw a butterfly.
flying in the rain
what an inspiration
a miracle me thinks?

Our beloved child
Khoisan Jul 2019
To the young ones who have been taken from us? I write about all things beautiful for there is many that cross the sky of life.
love does exist for me, only if I can as well see time as a sign an opportunity, to find, as a part of my design, to free the blood of my inner child, is to live, love, write and protect the beauty of the innocent child.
