The rear
Of what seems unclear,
Amisdt shattered dreams
Masonic scares,
Populous divided by statistics and socially divisible,
Strata,
The masses beg the question,
Do we need a terrorist or matyr?,
Ignorance a sin,
We perpetually foster,
Like subservient kids,
War torn aggression,
Media manipulated manuscripts,
Take me back to an age of divination,
Ink pots and quills,
Cinematic representations...

Unwanted Touch.
Hallucinating through clouds,
In a dream world that disrobes the pain,
Of days gone by,
Drugs filled the vacuum,
For a while, tinged with a stranger's smile,
Serenading my solitude, Ubiquitous, As you thrusted your sheath,
Into my unformed shape,
Sadistic dimwit,
Non- consensual
Scarcely knew of 'the birds and the bee's
Contrary to your sadistic chi,
I wasn't being a dick tease,
Only a child,
Now left dirty and indenial,
Guilt my moralistic quilt,
As my morals lie unkempt,
Like a vacuous vagrant,
Lying...

Truth tongue tied
Heavens speak in shy tongues,
Trying to mute the guttural grants,
Of the unloved and love shy ,
Destiny dances with me tonight,
Imagination overflows like a torrent of emotion,
You are the lioness that engulfs my heart ,
Like tribal scarring,
Your eyes navigate a stairway of pleasures of untold
For you are the mystery I behold,
In my darkest hours, Are you the insignia I hold close?
That evokes ' I love you ' quotes .
In my time of need,
Will you flatter to deceive,
Lustrous in...

Re:Revolution
Awaken the giant from his internal slumber,
Free from this world of contradiction,
Where religion and omnipotence,
Blight mankind's pursuit of higher visions,
For each man utters words sacred in the valley of the vacant,
Too busy chasing the harlot,
To hear the celestial humming of the Hierophant,
Sacred principles feel invisible,
In the realms of the ephemeral,
Dynasties die meekly,
In the new age dialectic of technology and eternal youth,
Sex and capitalism,
Colour the utopian prism,
Which only serves the prestigious few, ...

Re: Father my love
Graceful you wait,
With baited breath,
He takes another another step down Ambivalence avenue,
Your affections he plays,
A perverse percussionist,
Stroking your heart strings,
The symphony of sadness,
Echoes like kindred sentiments,
In the air he disperses ,
Like the darkest shroud,
Never around in my time of need,
For I am nothing
more than a pawn for his infidelity

Re: scribblings
The streets are littered with macabre thiefs, sentiments sprayed out of my arsenal with illegitimate ease,
A forlorn scribbler,
Formulate with devilish Danes who taken your name, Crimson rain pervades , whilst screaming ' I can't see Kansas '
My stance reminiscent to that of a pray mantis,
Money and megalomania, Turn church girls into erotic actresses,
Nothing but mere vanity a precursor to a cold blooded tragedy, which vanquish the righteous mammal in me,
Trying to find truth in the shallow turf,
Perverse pictures painted through a...

Re: Loneliness
Loneliness affliction,
I walk past the boulevard,
Scarred with childhood memories,
Looking for reality to bite,
Awaken me from this depression,
Truanting with truth,
Vagabond voyeur,
Who never learnt his lesson,
Stone cold,
Dethroned by delirium,
Homeless, searching for the existential abode,
Concrete and steely glares,
Battling with bourgeoisie,
I want more than money,
My body writes cheques I can no longer cash,
I see serenity in the streetlights,
As a surf the waves of condemnation,
You can't tempt me...

Re: Soul shivers
The Soul shivers like avalanche,
Try to find a mask,
To weave amidst the societal camouflage,
Lies whispering in the wind,
Like memoirs of yester year,
I sit at destiny’s door with a painful glare,
Beyond the façade, my hear beats like primal fear,
My dreams coloured crimson,
Encrypted with evil words,
Like satanic memoirs,
The world a perverse paradox,
...

Re: silent struggle
Silent struggle,
Muted voices,
The soul screeches till its hoarse,
Speak your truth,
Justice does validate you,
The coliseum is empty,
Blood shed poured from your predecessors,
I can still hear my fathers cry,
a serene siren,
For I know he runs free in the ethereal world,
No mention of a revival,
Mother speaks of kinship,
confused with the trivial and tribal,
For know I am the nameless son,
Neither an adulterer or murder,
...

Re: Cultural Bondage.
Stifling with sadness , the vanguard of the vilified tribe ,intercourse submerged in the concerto of crushed dreams , I whisper despondency like crack fiends in clandestine scenes , macabre and ghetto trite grunts I dispel the
[ Avoid the vixens with snow white skin...like trying find sita in a land of nephilims
Mystery , the voyeur with a unbridled eye towards higher dreams ,
memoirs of Mispent youth, tamarind skinned youth , with a mothers burden adorning a strait jacket a cultural cloak

Re: Starry eyed Fool.
Silent sentiments,
Unheard, absurd,
Wrestling with reality,
Grappling with grizzled and harsh truth,
Drugs and disco divas,
Dancefloor amock with cosmetic laden ladies ,
Who covet affections like a virus,
Morph into osiris,
The way you shake you supreme being,
Peacock struts I morph into alpha maleism,
Your lips lustrous I want,
To press my lips, Against yours,
Cradled your body, like a matador,
Sex a sensual doorway to primal escape,
Leave me with a frenzied lust i want more,
After sex memoirs , about...

Re: Absent Temptress
Searching for my Temptress,
For tonight I reconcile with the sobering realisation,
Tonight is not the night,
For are we ever destined to dance faintly amidst the 'maybe' or cinematic portrayals of what could be ?
She lies in my subconscious like a nagging uncertainty,
A sponsoring thought I cannot abort,
I sugarcoat the truth,
With parliament procedure,
I call your name,
Symmetry I seek,
Clutching my template of tantric ritual,
Seduction is symbolic in the confides of your hidden visual,
The stars are supposedly in line, ...
