COMMITMENTS

I am binded by commitments of love. Internally my system convulses with heartbeats. A sucker for promises and a keeper of truths. Defined by my passions and sacrifices for all of you. Only one can keep me above water. The rest of you drown me in sorrow that you’ll never know. My ocean of tears keeps me afloat. I can only love. There’s nothing more I ask for. I give it my all and more but only one truly deserves me. So the rest of you must stop interrupting. Stop getting in the way. Move over, make way. My progress is not yours to control but for my love to decide. My heart is a palace and it...

Letter from my baby

Baby with the little experience that I have, I always thought that guys were all the same and that I wouldn't find someone who would appreciate me for me and not the features I have or the way I look. Well I always thought that I wasn't good enough until I met you. I can't explain the joy I have in my heart because its something I have never felt before. I have come to a point where I totally don't want to feel perfect but be my clumsy self. When I'm with you I feel valuable and appreciated, something I feel when I'm only with my family... I can now say that you are my pillar of strength, my...

8 stages of my heart

In the evening time is when I picture you best. I see you forming through the thick cloud of my imagination. You materialise like a cat squeezing through the narrowest wall while it purrs. Like a Leonardo Da Vinci masterpiece you stand before me marvellous and timeless. Because each time I adore you feels like the last time. As if time were just a rolling stone descending into the far reaches of space to be consumed by a blackhole. The flaming chariot of love beckons for us to sit so we slouch back and cuddle. The journey begins as we are taken into an exploration of the 8 stages of my heart....

ballerina girl

Ballerina girl with the sweetest smile and engaging eyes. You caught me like a fish pulling the line and made me blind. Your strong ebony complexion stood out and you became the only one I could see. As if you cleared the studio so you could be the only one to be seen. Oh ballerina girl I wish you could dance with me. My hand in yours as I lead you into my mind. I’d like to search yours so imagine what we both could find. I’ll do pirouettes with you until I’m dizzy  and fall over. I’m dizzy with thoughts of you because you’ve been dancing in my head since I left. Now I remember you like a...

Her name rings chimes in my ears

Her name rings chimes in my ears. I listen with an easy ear and the still of the night is what I hear. Calm and serene as if she is near. I wait for her to embrace me while my heart beats frantically. She affects me every time like it’s the first time over and over because in my eyes she shines. She is my angel with glowing skin and captivating smile. I close my eyes and she remains in sight like darkness overpowered by light. My heart beats for her like it beats for God when I’m in prayer. I want her to always be there and to always care. I think of the love we can share and how much will be...

Ive folded into a cocoon

Ive folded into a cocoon and haven’t seen the sun since. It should be warm inside but I am cold. I’m covered in uncompassionate silk. The threads are thin empty promises and break easily, I was better off in my tears. At least they would warm up my face but now I’m dry even in my eye. I was a worm not too long ago. Munching on a lifestyle based on media interpretation. Feeding on the advances of female relations. Pop culture subversion led me to a frustrating integration of watching the sense I had made of everything start fading. I ate into the illusion until I ate away the curtain. My diet...

let me be

Girl don’t cry I realize what you were going through
I was selfish and I was wrong
Everytime you needed me, I would brush you off
But now I know, love was all you wanted from me
So I wanna say

I know that I’ve done you wrong
But I knew not what was right
You’ve been hurting so long
And now it’s time I make it right
You say you found love in me
And hope that I never leave
Put all your trust in me
Let me be all that you need

Some days I feel like I don’t deserve you
‘Cos my mind just struggle’s to stay true
But deep in my...

My love my heart my spirit

My love my heart my spirit. I miss and wish upon you. It’s been only a couple of days but they will multiply soon. With each multiplication I’ll wish harder and long for you further. I got to see you leave and that's my last memory. I hold on to every memory so clearly. So I can keep you near when you're miles away. In all this time I must not stray. But continue to meditate upon you. All the textures of your skin have been carved onto my palms. So I touch you when the moment is right. Your sleepovers keep me dreaming. Like we were in union from the very beginning. That this is all a...

SPIRITUAL POEM

Who am I?

A broken heart in love. So heavy when it beats, it weighs down my guard. The beating of a solitude drum of an artery pumped with the pain from which it recovers. Pumping silent. Beating heavy. The blood is amber from rushing too long unchecked. This eye has been seen by obscene scenes of gratuitous violence and sexual deviances not to be beamed to the naked eye. Compelled to numb my emotions. To dissociate myself from me. Becoming an insensitive puppet of the demon gods with instructions to promote heartlessness and rebellion. All the time questioning my maker. WHO AM I! I have names and...

I’ve been waiting for you for a long time

I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Asking and praying. Crying and sulking. Many have stepped forward claiming to be you. Pretending to love me. Talking like they will always be there. Leaving me in the dark to chase the dark. I’m glad to not have given up. Because you’re the one I’ve been praying for. Wishing for.Crying for. It was you all along but I had to wait. I had to experience the pain before the pleasure. The hurt before the joy. My heart aches for you. Not because you left me or disappointed me. But because I’m grateful to have finally met you. Now I want to know you, deeply....
