At night you blossom

with rage and fire

You burn all within range

I fear from afar

Silence when near

You burn all

You burn me

You burn us

Papers till its not

–

At night you blossom 

with honey and sunflower

You burn all within range

I fear no more

Dotted lines in sight

You have burnt all

Scars embedded in my soul

There is no us

Memories till its not

–

At dawn we are free

without hate or remorse

All in sight 

A mere thought

Free of an idea

Free from the spell of time 

Am I Dreaming

In the land of Ubini

Some days I fall into the skies

sleep then I am awake

clouds, a picture of memories

on wings I float

a home is of two

And you are my one

my own to call my peace

a place to lay down

Sounds of your voice

Cutting through the atmos 

Further I fall 

The more I stand in balance

It is you

Bringing this reel of moments

a disarray of emotions 

The past filled with survivors guilt

yet in your arms I am found

mind bending 

Spacing finding

Our love on the wings of Bennu

Give me your Love (Love Song)

The morning fell on a green valley

Breeze with it

Rising and then a slow heave

–

The first hue hitting eyelids

A call from the land of the big waves

Seasons of migration

Everything i know

Everything i thought i did

This was all 

Past the pupil

Sounds of the stars

Whales bellowing in the skies

–

Today the spirits moved

And i truly was there

Energy pixelated 

into cells and letters

–

No question asked?

None so whatever

Whatever

Star Lights

Fast forward

Everything in ones twos

Pace of a matador facing red

Our legs barely land

Then soar

Our bodies left behind

Watching as we rise

Stars lighting up the night sky

Moon illuminating our minds

In this moment

Whether we stumble

or

kiss at the start of rain

No matter 

Only after 

The aftertouch

Hands locked

blemishes on knuckles

Sunlight burns

and mortal sins

Only after

When we return

Back onto bodies

will we feel and realize

that the longest part of life

lies away from these hearts.

High Times

Someday

I want to experience the sun

without the film burn effect

Feel a time of stillness 

without thinking something is missing

Ride and coast

Yet feel like I am all in control

Hands on the wheels

Steady going

No hydroplaning 

Someday

I want to set out on moons tail

Sword of light on comfort rail

Without ogogoro and concoctions

Sail forth on waterfronts

horizon, peak and clear

without seeing the dead reaching out

hands dragging me underneath 

Just enough air to breathe 

For me and me alone

Someday

I want to see my own blood

after squeezing my own heart

Unfrozen to finally bleed out

Apple Memories

It is your eyes that is killing me

When i scroll through hidden albums

Pinching using both fingers

Scrolling up those years

Staying careful in these times

many photos after our dance

I do not want to lose touch

Life metrics on your face

You on the other side

A still in time

I, present now

–

It was always your eyes that killed me

Your eyes washing away the mud

clearing the purple spell

cast on the southern blue

And many such kinds

Your letters from the Pretoria hills

A mix of strong wind from September

In my head or mind

I recollect many painted pictures

Words on a canvass

–

Sorry,

The building holding us

Forgetting about what you knew

Am I new to you?

An answer maybe

The train ride beyond

If nothing else

I knew I made you think

I did

You held your voice

I told you it was okay

I embraced all of you

Yet I missed your better half

Timing is all i want to say

I know i know

I refuse to say the first words of this

Strong beams holding me back

One More Time

How many times must i prove?

How many mistakes to show

Star shooting and fallen gems

Body transfers and senses renewed

How many moons must I sleep on?

Suns, lay-bare to bake in

So many times i have appeared

In forms only you know

In voices, only we have shared

Inside your deepest ache,

During your strongest laps

Times when hands bled

I surround you, yet you’re aghast

I hear you even without words

I hope you do the same

–

The wind, the stars affirm my dreams

Of wanting and

reuniting with you

In an astral plain just like this

Where touch and embrace

Is but a soothing comfort

How many times must i come back?

Trips to the ends of time

Flight to the furthest of the watchers

How many times?

Tell me love, give me a sign

One i can remember

Two, that I may write on my soul

To not forget lightly

This merry ground has been exhausting

How many times can i say?

Our love is one of bone shedding

Soul bending, twisting

that itch that never goes

In parallel times or not

–

How many times must i try?

I guess till you say the same

“One more time”

and then i will finally stop

Tomorrow’s Dust (cover)

New kicks, new gear

In today, waiting for tomorrow

The more I try

the less

I cut across

to her

My voice less audible

Resistance the answer

Hence, I say

Forget the now

I don’t want the present

Everything I crave

Resides in the bosom of tomorrow

Every kiss

Every wish

Every bliss

is somewhere only I can see

Your Turn

At the edge of the flowing water

Another change of constellation

Stars and gods

Hands and prayers

I and you

Move into a different axis

Doing our best to fulfill orders

Given by the pre-existing adages

A journey full of everything under the skies

I feel you now

In this moment

All things considered

—-

Baby,

it’s our turn

To imprint into the sun and moon

Until,

we both move away

Our light, diminished

“Your turn“ – we were told.
