CAN YOU PLEASE BE MY VALENTINE?

I am a thousand miles thinking about you
Your smile, your golden eyes
I am trying even though it doesn't equal death, is it enough?
I sleep on a same side of the bed every night
Praying louder knowing He's taking turns, but...am I the forgotten ones?

I wanna give you the world
A garden filled with flowers, grapevine and you won't worry about finding love
Couse daddy is saying grace in a table
And your enemies should come prepared
King Saint the first
I ain't letting down, little girl until you grow Gray hair.

Dear daughter on this valentines day
Can you be my valentine?

We had conversations about destiny
She said maybe is fate that lead you to,
But my path has been righteous
Followed every rule to life
Crawled on 10 commandment until I leanered repentance
But life stole people I treasured
Mother and Granny, protection I seek
Dear African angels rain abandoned blessings, break chains for the third generation
And if we find the way home let wealth be the seed we live behind
My Amen grew wings
The hate that I fail to embrace
Only if I could walk taller, and then
But I have tried to unlearn
A day without care
And maybe a life time of redefining sanity
Mercy Gray will be on a Playlist
But until then we just broken souls trying hard to hide suicidal thoughts...

Maybe I am, Writting with desperation
Can you hear me?
I am in pretoria dreaming of who we can be
A love story written with elegance, a tale of two collated cities

I know of a village man who once traveled to a city and never came back
A good woman raise by a community with moral standards
Now sleep on the side of the road with men whose names she can't pronounce
And if we can change reality ours will be filled with roses and violet
But I am just a poet trying to mirror what could be

Wishing your gaze will be side sided and maybe see me for who I am
Broken soul whose intentions are good
I hope your heart is a nest that can house a stranger
And destiny be forever.

Keeping poetry alive

09/07/2022

If poetry was a song, I did sing her
Maybe a thousand words with her
Love be a lala bye, a story to tell her
Like love be, a walk to her
A wall maybe or maybe not for her
First, last, between, or inside her
And I miss her

19/02/2022

It's a good goodbye
Like never is forever
And I know a friend is dust
A good radiance ain't easy to say

And if heaven is not a myth
We'll meet again, I know
A piece of you is with us
Every sip that leads to intoxication is a road to your heart
And the souls you touched will sing
Just like you did and maybe better

How I look and think if heaven was a person and answers will rain like a fountain of misbehavior
A talk with my mom will do
Ask my father for me
If running is the end of every relationship that was never there to begin with?

Maybe you should, if you can tell God I don't wanna die
Not before my poetry is read by her
The muse of it all
Not before I... The art of walking in your absent friend
And I master human speech

Rest now...
Tell, spread the word about the lmperfection of the world
And if we ever meet remember me...
Dear Friend!!!

Forever will mean

Poetry and its official
Love that's never
And you with words
Tell me you understand and love is forever
Like death and romance life be eternal
And I will and will die for you ... And come back
Be for you!..
Like Franklin never with you.

Complicated love story
Ours where a staring die before it ends
And the queen never kiss a frog
I know what forever will mean
A save heaven maybe
Two shot of vodka or a line of coke

And I'll be walking back to you my love
And love you forever
Like pain isn't
And you not

What if?

I...What if every poem was
About how love find me
A secret nest that's us
Despite fallen dreams that were
A combination of what we wished for
What if every poem was about us

A high school love story that went wrong
Two teenagers who have just discovered organism means forever but for ever?
Entanglement for a day that was
An end of a commitment
But what if every poem was about us

And for 10 years I would still wish to see you the same
But if we humans can over look imperfections
And think of love the way it is
Another love poem about you and I
What if every poem was about us

And you looked the same, with a body of an 18 year old
No babies that cries whenever your breast fell off
Your humor, a maintainance you couldn't, with words wasn't easy to cross
11 years but my friend
A lonely talk of what going and coming feels like
To a man who still wish
If every poem was about us.

The love that's missing
Melody that's no more
I know you there, somewhere where crowded individuals scream your name in discept

Looking in tomorrow that was
A promise we made high
High with thoughts of accomplishment
A future with baby's that looks like you
I miss you!

Me missing how without you feels like?
A night I drown self with alcohol to sleep
And I have still, to convince self to wake and fight same demons that put me to sleep
My love for you still is, as blind as it was the day I met you
Sight hasn't shifted... I thirst for you in nights that aren't complete as the future was supposed to be!

23/09/2021

I am writing for you, trying to convince self
OK isn't a blackout
Alone, and loneliness has no similarities
A ground, and a graveyard are just beautiful flowers and Stones are apart
A house is a home without you
And I am still, complete.

I am trying hard to convince myself
Death doesn't possess no power to the living
And I will see you in aftermath
And conversions we never had will perpetuate to infinite
Rest now... Rest knowing that I'll find a way to navigate around OK until I find my true self.

I don’t owe anyone forever,
I owe my mother respect.
And I owe it to myself to be truthful today.
I can love me alone.
I can hug my Thursdays.
Sometimes my nerves are spreadsheets of apologies packaged to convince me, sorry is where I excel.
I have loved with my body, I have flirted with my soul, I have played pretend on dates for months.
I know the type of love that sleeps with one eye open because people will always knock awake the doubt in you.
I don’t need a best man to witness me marry simple truths.
Like how circles can make it difficult to find the right angle.
Like how the lips of our parents will always find a way to mumble a prayer out of their bodies.
My eyes have been teary while I was standing next to church benches.
How much can I bench?
Well, I work out, sometimes, not always to be strong, to lose strength so I can pass out in bed.
I am learning, change for me will come when I accept the leader in me.
Because all fonts put forward, I am larger than words.
Even in a crowd of Mufasas I can still be king.

It sounds like music
That's how silence is when is done intentional
And one takes time to notice.

The kind of love

I want that honest kind of love,
The, God is our witness kind of love.

I don't want the type of love that will make me go begging,
But let it put me on my knees,
Remind me how humbling it is to be loved.

I don't want the type of love that goes boasting on IG,
But still, I wanna boast about my love G.

I want a love that is still,
Like the last drop of water that refuses to fall from a closed tap.
The, shhhhhh kind of love,
Like, it's too quiet I can almost hear her love me.

I want a love that feels like a Sunday morning on a Wednesday afternoon,
Or a Saturday night on a Monday morning,
But then again, I want a love that is timeless,
That, that cannot be explained,
Unbounded by temporal sequence,
I want to know how it feels like to exceed what’s real, to love beyond time.

I want a love that is uniquely mine,
Like what Malibu is to Anderson Paak,
Like what Avatar is to James Cameron.

I don't want what my father and my mother had,
But I hope she will be half as strong as my mother,
And I will have half the courage my father had.

I write about love, even when I know we can never be right about love.

Write

I hope you do write on my behalf, give meaning to words
Tell tales to the world, scribble words
Give title to unrealized tapes
Define fictions, for them to understand that is okay to escape
When silent is of honor, I know your words will mean something to the hurt broken
Don't stop just because I am no more
Write to correct the injustice, with no wrongs uncorrected
Your words a power tool that direct the mislead
Wake the dead... You shouldn't stop just because I am no more.

If beauty was, and I look at you and think life is ok
My dreams, a world with thunderstorm I think
I think love has a direction
A path to your heart begins with a hi
But damn death hits, kills the possibility of what perfection would be
Women, you symbolize gold
A walking diamond in human shape
"can we talk" a hi to your heart, I think
"hello my name is... "

Still

A criminal mind still
If I could look deep, and steal
A mind and a heart still
From a woman that believes in love
And is moved by the rhythm
Like never, but still she wishes for better

Her better, rhymes with mistreat
A couple of misfortune from men that prides themselves with how many underwear colors they know
And I do know you still
With a forgiving heart that dies now and then

I know love is like a crown so I wear it under my non-accomplishment, in a sensitive part of me that hurts the most
Unconditional, I think my crown should be easy
But still you are human your weight of pain isn't comparable.

Don't listen to the world, if you don't fit in their boxes they wanna punish you. But don't let them.

I wrote all my best poems thinking about her

12/03/2021

I'll sharpen these words like a shield and every time when I threw them they'll cut deep
Deep to a long forgotten soul
And love will come natural
Crawling like tortoise
You'll not hear my footsteps
Like a snell even tone I'll drip into your skin
And When you say I don't know why I fallen for him
It'll be a drap set ages in meeting....

Tell me you understand, that happiness is a 4 letter word
A form of communication between two deaf people
Knowing that there's someone that understands, when the world is too ignorant to learn

Tell me you understand, that self belonging shouldn't be a constant fight
Being normal shouldn't be categorize
And I shouldn't feel a need to explain myself to you couse with your effort to learn I'll know that you understand

Tell me you understand, that I shouldn't feel a need to be protected
And women hood shouldn't be seen as a weakness
And when you stare I'll raise my middle finger with pride
Like you, human dignity shouldn't be a cry for but undeniable right
And I know you'll grow to understand couse I am not hiding any more

Tell me you understand
Tell me that I shouldn't walk in shame, convince me that you are an OK person that doesn't overlook disability
And ability doesn't mean supreme

To the deaf woman that always walks pass me
Don't be afraid to ask...

19/02/2021

I love you with all my hellos
Like goodbyes are not forever
And every come is close, this close to forever
And I look, I look in every possible tomorrow that has beautiful boutique flowers and slow walks to the alter... I look at you and hope my sight is as crystal as I hope you are.

It is poetry, and we in motion
Battling to find words that are...ok maybe
Love is just an abstract noun
With words it's hard to define

And I think of love as a moving object
A thing that pauses with lack of energy
And I think about you
Promises of forgotten land
You, it is still you that I think off!

05/02/2021

It was love, pain all mixed together
How could a person with mixed emotions love and feel so much pain at the same time?
The world will hurt you son you said
With all your soft hearted being
"Is me mom, me mom"

With days that passes by, I wish maybe if only I would have learned how to be a better person with you maybe....
But God knows!

He knows that when it rains it pause, so I hope He builds walls that fence my enemies.
A look of miss treat
Alone, I feel caged in a world that claim to value love.
And I think about you... And her my lil princess
And maybe I shouldn't cry couse men don't!
