If only your mind
Were as beautiful as your body
And your eyes
As expressive as your hyperactive hips.
You invite consumption
And yes, you would taste sweet
But candy quickly loses its appeal
No substance
And nauseating in excess.

Sloppy ***
**** this ****
***** breath

In my heart
In my body
Limp ****
Alcoholic

Morning after
*** naked
In my bed
Regret

Late night
Drunk texts
I love you
***** head

*******
**** me
Now I know
We'll never be.

Nhlanhla Moment
It is a duty I serve
to control my self
and conceal my character,
to muster the wisdom and
be a master of my own world...
To gather knowledge of experience (hindsight)
and the intuitive knowledge (foresight)
- amass the synergy of it all
which is the memory I embrace (insight).

So I become wise
and don't think twice
about choices that may lead to my demise;
compelling me to revise
efforts that revolve around the negating dice.
And I'll fight
lest I pay the price
of not respecting my living right!
And what is the purpose of a writer if not to enliven?
and colour the languid abyss with purity and essence,
one would wonder where these crazies called writers get their conviction and composure
Perhaps writers are the excrement of The Divine's Ears peeling off and Its Voice choking...

From this, probably, we are able to identify the humanity within another
drawing from a celestial innate sensitivity to be the scribe
a scribe for those who have lost the sense of feeling
oh feeling, if writers would be able to overcome neurosis themselves.

And again there's a connective intimacy about reading,
you shake hands with someone you've never met
Like taking a train to Neverland
and you learn just how small the world is
And in Writing, as a writer, you are reaching out and talking to people you may never meet
but the poetic artistry is that we rejoice in an unsung hymn: a hymn of harmony
and unity.
