You grannies

you old wise ones,

not always saying enough

or maybe too much

with benefit of hindsight

and desperate for someone else's future.

You've seen the comings and goings

old wounds opened up

fresh ones with dawns and sunsets

and you don't always want to say

what you feel knowing

that young ones cannot kneel

yet one day when distances are blurred

The middle is where she stands 
The place to pick a path
Where all the responsibility lands
She just has to do the math

Decide where she's going 
What she will become
Theres only knowing 
Where she's come from 

The rest is a mystery 
Written only in her story
It will all become history 
Whether failure or glory 

Right now she is still
Calm in the moment 
Work hard she will

As we get higher through the night 

The window to the bedroom lights the way

The sex gods and godesses apear 

They take ahold of us

As we rock back and fourth into the night

Stars shinning our way through 

Sexual fantasies end at a climax

Our body heat gradually gets cooler

Snores fill the air

Our bodies become a spoon

Our minds filled with love and happiness

Your absence is as painful as this drought.

I try to listen for your voice in the wind.

All it carries is my undying love for you.

A spider spins a web in an abandoned house.

And I sit here,

Devising a plan to bring you back.

Without you,

My space is empty.

Gravity is nonexistent.

I look for you,

Like a dope fiend looks for his dealer.

Without your drug,

When grief consumes completely, 
And tears cease only from exhaustion.
When life has stolen what you love,
And you droop like a flowers wilting deterioration.
Remind yourself, even though you cannot see it,
These wretched feelings are not your jail,
This will not forever be it.

You will again find laughter in life,
The beauty in the world, love and light.

That undulate between beach and road,

The light of early sun flashes on undulating waves

In shivering salutation to May morning.

As waves break and retreat over silvered sandy foreshore.

THE PROPOSAL

Downtown Jo-burg, in a small café,

Joe's proposing, he doesn't know what to say.

He stutters and then he stammers,

his heart is beating hammers.

At last his tongue becomes undone,

He says "Please will you wed me, May?"

May's ecstatic, she's clapping her hands with joy.

She can't believe it, married to Joe Malloy!

I held a face

that held a face's stare,

In that mirror

the face that stared

I knew that once

I turned away

that we would meet again

that he would watch

the back of my head and

whisper once more my name.

Life slowly was like a mirage to her,
Gave her nothing but unrealistic hopes..
She didn’t fret,
She didn’t repent,
Nor had any guilt.
She was not a flower to wilt.
With all that pressure like a diamond under the earth,
Almost like a rebirth,
She was again built.
She was formed like a pearl in the oyster of the wild sea
She was meant to live, she was meant to be..

Down, down, down. 

The fire girl is burning,

The smoke was once her dreams,

The higher that she got, the more we believed.

Her screams became weapons,

Made not for you or me.

But when a flame starts to grow, we all tend to see.

Her skin dripped and dropped,

In puddles all around,

Leaving us wondering what to do now.

Fire is dangerous, was drilled in our heads,

“Why don’t you leave your boots on?”

She said, as I walked through the door,

“There’s nothing to spoil in the kitchen;

There’s nothing to spoil on the floor”.

And later on in that evening

As I kissed her softly I said,

Sweet sweat rancid jumble sale stock,

An expensive phone can be a trifle

A cruel word can be a rifle

A daydream on a deckchair

Into a world unknown.

Nothing I remember,

Nothing I know

But a warm zone,

A place to come home.

A whirlwind, a vortex,

A time without a care.

Soft lights and sweetness

Relaxing in a chair,

A daydream on a deckchair.

They Say The Blacker The Berry The Sweeter The Juice 

But Where I Come From They Killing Us Because Of Our Roots 

They Hate Us Because Our Melanin Is Poppin

So Each && Everyday Black Bodies Is Droppin 

Bullets Ringing , Bloody Streets , Camera Flashes , A Million Eyes 

But No One To Blame When A Black Man Died 

Pointed Fingers , Teary Eyes && A Ear Filled With Lies 

Excuses Of...

What amazement to my eyes, Oh wonderful butterfly!

Your beauty, revealed upon creation. Almighty God, what a revelation!

Gliding and Swaying, with the wind you are dancing.

Your beauty, I was bewitched. Oh Lord, thank you for the gift.

Lovely butterfly, you and me are alike. We were bestowed with charm

That no one can defy! Dear God, You had blessed.

Oh dear butterfly, you a...

She smiles,

With that wistful look,

Her eyes alive, and bright,

And glazed.

She takes my hand,

Gently,

With purpose and,

Continues to smile.

She looks away,

But keeps my hand,

Caressing,

Me, silently accepting.

She nuzzles,

Into my shoulder,

The way she does,

I kiss her cheek.

She rests her head,

Upon that shoulder,

I take c...

                                                     SIDOLO

Spent shell casings everywhere

gleaming in the July sun

bodies of three martyrs lie

victims of a German gun

Italy is crying now

see how fast the tears run.

Three priests in nineteen forty four

slaughtered by the devil’s hand

innocent of all misdeeds

outrage sweeps throughout the land

I wake up to blue skies and a bright sun
My alarm rings, now my day has begun
I turn on the hot shower, the bathroom begins to steam
When I'm done I dry and put on my best dress
I have an important meeting today so I need to impress 
After the usual traffic jam I finally arrive at work
I'm greeted with smiles from familiar faces
I come face to face with my boss as my heartbeat races
Good m...

They sit side by side

With their hand held devices

Patiently reading

Of virtues and vices

Exploring the world with

A questioning finger

Philosophy, politics,

Long will they linger

They speak to each other

And share their conclusions

Discounting the myths and

Dispelling confusions

Comparing statistics

Or searching for clues

Assessing investments

Or readi...

I've never seen this look in your eye,

It's over, finally, it's over

And we hold that truth deep inside

So tonight,

Hold me tighter than you ever have,

Kiss me sweeter and love me harder.

And we will cry,

But it's ok.

We're not broken,

And even if we are,

From tomorrow on, I'll carry every piece of us With me in my soul.

So give me one last memory,

Tonight.

Im from magazine models on 90210 to breaking hearts to being heartbroken

Im from scene hair, dark rooms and dark make up, to being called emo with no soul.

From watching the stars to the ones on my walls like little planets going round and round

Im from emotional scars to the real ones on your skin, being raised by wolves with Ronnie Radke to Andy Biersack and Kellin Quinn.

Im from sne...

 Celibate Priests, Fundamentalist Imams,
eagerly preach their delusive plans
 Protestant Vicars and Methodist lays,
give it out in gentler ways,
to simple folk in hallowed halls 
with pointy tops, round minarets,
brass artefacts, smooth marble steps.

The use of loud hailers and noisy bells
call the faithful to worship and god to please  
devotions observed on bended knees,
Venerab...

To the lover not yet known,
To the feelings not yet shown,
Of the heart kept in waiting,
Of the dreams slowly fading,
It is the romance yet to be,
That takes a hold of me,
Quite unfortunately so,
As spirits remain low,
For reality slaps my face,
With the hopelessness of my case,

The Fool’s Defence
by Robert C. Mackie
 
I don’t mind your accusations, when you say I’m wrong,
Question my intelligence, and mark me out for fun,
But at the very least, have the decency to explain,
Why I’m a fool and you have sussed out rhyme and reason’s chain.
 
We’ve known each other donkey’s years, were always at the games,
I gladly took a battering when you called on me by name.

The silver-spotted skipper, that rarest butterfly,

Emerges from its cocoon in mid-July…to flutter… fly

Through the grasses deep upon the downland Heath.

Sheep’s-fescue thrives on chalk-filled soil, black and white, beneath.

Such beauty is short-lived… finite… discrete,

For the graceful butterfly (part of nature’s evolved elite)

Will soon bid adieu - a seemingly hurried goodb...

Special Day

Charity Kosta

Is there something wrong with me?

Am I being selfish and conceited

When all I can see is myself being defeated,

In a stupid competition of who is loved more?

When on my special day, getting notice was a chore,

Where all I got from loved ones was a happy birthday.

Yet, here comes my sister, and she is given a display

From everyone expressing thei...

clearer stars tonight,

but dreams are essential too:

by morning, a song.
