Love is the way 
it knows all about you
never blinking
about danger
the baby
the stranger
Love is the way through a mainger.
Khoisan May 2022
Who's persistence is rife
can I see and feel what begs
and in the order of love
you still offered me a knife.
Khoisan May 2022
I leaned toward it
that is where the road turned me
into a spare wheel

We made them
nurture them during the day
fist punch full of glitter
mesmerizing the night
a sky full of glittering stars
Khoisan Oct 2022
Cruel fell from the sky
even the midwives
left us then, to die.
Black-eyed battered beauty
a withered wick
on a burning stick
I made a choice
the child my duty
tiny eyes a crying delight
I kept the baby
I followed her/his light.

Everybody came from somebody
came from God came from Mary.

When the tide rises all ships are raised
it was fundamtally
mother Mary's call.
When boats fell
from standing tall
it's captain took the fall,
who laid hands
on such innocence
who took a stand
albeit a woman
a child
or a man,
is the ocean too deep
and the river too wide
are we as a people
afraid of the fault
caused by crimson tides,
who are we praying for?
Jesus rose when he died
where She humbly stood for
nations to rise.
Khoisan Dec 2021
When a leading star
cast a ray of hope
on a manger
where a mother
birthed love
by pain and tears
there Santa appears
before dawn
where the child was born.
For whatever reason you may not like Christmas this child was born especially for you.

Love is bittersweet

as
it
laps
around your feet

deceptive coastlines
Khoisan Apr 2023
Soon very soon
we will witness
death by avalanche
and the world
will be praying for ice.
Inspired

Titled X.

There are
irrepressible feelings
a certain
nostalgic hinderence
of pure magic
called
puppy love.

Smoke drumrolls dance,

indigenous
verve,

observed
conserved

reserved

a shaman's stance

reduced

to an historical prance.

I gave them a million miles
Of anger
And all they wanted back was me

Unconscious we are all judges
At the cross of the ballot box
A point to ponder

He often wondered
do you cheat
when you close them
copper-tone shades
shut your eyes
and I'm a goner.
He "once" had a girlfriend
who loved wearing
copper-tone shades
got to thinking
her eye might have been bullets.

Plenitude
in the heptagon
of gratitude
natural pride
the abominable defied.
"Heptagon" - metaphorically
denotes the continents.
Khoisan Mar 2020
The devil divides
Pangea broken
the ancient sanctum
A global cause a course for prayer together we can overcome

On this site
bad things happen
to good people
it feels like a crackdown
in a lockdown
Khoisan Oct 2019
hurricane tossed
I hate my body
my mind is clogged
banging baggage
life is a mock
the hustle for crack
unsympathetic...tock
on a deadly track.

While
they fan the flames
I
am forced
to turn
the
pages
I
swam in the river
of
my dreams
watercolours
watermarked
waterproof
stick people paraded
towards
the
approaching
flames
nothing catchers fire
the
inner child
showed
me
to
catch a fire
are
a
yearning like daisy chains
while flames approach
pastels shouldn't die
with
ADULT remains
.
A different take on the effect
and counter effect
in the fight against Global warming
Stronger together
#
remember
daisy chains

I leave the mirror
Scarred by rejection
Thinking at a glance
Its just an optical illusion
I'm the spitting image
Of who I want to be
Gleefully I left them there
Empty
Believe in yourself no matter what they say
Khoisan Feb 2023
Caught

Cry me a river
O'er, rapids coming forth
setting my soul FREE.
In our natural life
there is always a calm
after the storm
a deafening silence
defining the way forward

The moon speaks in glyphs
on the faces of young girls,
where miracles tear
at their souls,
rescue is nigh and
ignorance is bliss.
in the dead end of the red carpet
selling flowers hustling for gold.
Prostitution
These are all kids caught up in the crossfire of circumstances some rarely make it out OK!

Sunshine on black nights
poles apart
the arrow goes
sparks fly
hearts fall
doubt dies
spoon-tight
spotlight,
wack attacks
culminate
opposites attract,
combinate.

The

True story hence love is blind

Bloodless
embryo'd
bloodlines
shaping the Gods of War

smokeless observatories
shameless untold stories

Spock and braille

shaman's wallow in the wind

Love

Bruised battered and delayed
The cage was open
But the bird stayed
Abused women there has to be a threshold
The silence must be broken there is help out there

Bruised
battered
and
delayed
the
cage was open
but
the
bird stayed
I was prompted to repost
by
the
cries for help!
Abused woman there has to be a threshold the silence must be broken
there is help out there

Meaningless?
it was only my hair that strangled the fabled tower.
You demanded my soul,
and what you called a mans meal
was a monstrous ordeal,
I die every day,
since that day,
the day I bled.
No more abuse against woman

On a quest to flatter
a date without love
does it really matter.

I'll cuff you too

The black southeaster peaks
Mothers rain down on dead kids
Criminality and gangsterism rule
In this crack infested cesspool
Blood moon's rising on the Cape flats
The tide must turn or the place
Will burn
A sad true Story
The police must patrol 500 people to1 officer
In some areas while our lives and the lives
Of our children is under constant threat
Whilst the politicians debate over deploying
The army the community is currently protesting on our streets in defying
Gangsterism these protests are knife-edged

The black southeaster is a freak weather pattern that brings heavy rain and extreme winds that often causes havoc on the Cape flats blood moon is when the full moon passes through earth's darkest shadow it
usually displays a reddish colour

I'm leaving you tomorrow
For a guy I met yesterday
Why is it dear John never has a future

I spy with my life's eye
a hidden lense out of the coroner's eye
from birth to a blade
love or hate on a single-stage,
one made the cut the other died.
Life of the coroner

Let it seep in
the voice about my skin
when I lost your ears
my scars began to sing
#Deepcuts has a voice

It was mid winter
I paled in comparison
I'd say walk away
it is harrowing
the thought
if having stayed
after all
it was just me
on bad days
it is summer now
the mirror reflected
when I defected.
Khoisan Aug 28
Stealing my thoughts
are much more difficult
than the theft of my heart
Yes my solitude
shocked the thief
into remission
A second chance
are meant to last.

Only the thorns kept
with petals drily withered
a scarlet white rose
counting the beads of Mary
one day or so long ago.
