A prisoner of fate

Wide against the reason of fate I go
Into the whirlwind of fate I go
In the company of the day's super patrons
Think nothing of my ordeals my sorrows

Shut me out of your holy life

Do not come into my unclean life
Shut me out of your sanctified life
My life is worldly-your life is heavenly
There are holes between your life and my life

This night is for you

This night is for you
This night's a gift for your sweet
Passion.But most of all
This holy night my divine darling
This blessed night is for your tenderness

Lions In Vilakazi Street

Africa?
Where is Africa?
D'them Africas dress
Like ah brada Tarzan
An hip woman deh lady Jane Mascot
An swing son indah willow trees
Like ah brer' hair, huh?
How big is Africa?
Do they have lions smack
In the streets of Africa?
Beware.Your ignorance will make you
A fool in the company of kings!

Sidelined and Ridiculed

Sidelined and ridiculed!
That's me!
Hated and scorned!
That's me!
Abandoned and forgotten!
That's me!
Exploited and misused!
That's you!
Disowned and homeless!
That's you!
Confused with no hope world wide!
That's you!
The fruits of their discrimination!
Our union!
The withering of their hatred!
The blossoming of our love!

Book of the calm 4. The wild sea of love

The wild sea of love
Has loosed the floodgates
Of her rough waters. I can
Feel wave after wave of her
Storms hit the raw lust of my
Passions.What shall I do since
You have failed to come to me?
Night after night I lust after
You but the one who answers
My call is the echo of your
Name that answers me back with
A voice menacing with derision

(Solitude poems) To Letiya

Summer has arrived
The mist has fled with
The solitude between it's legs
The season of passion has arrived
I can love you better now
The fog has melted away
The frost will never come back
I'm free when the solitude is not here
I am passionate about you I am at
Liberty to love you with a clear conscience
I am waiting here for you where
I sing the tune of love

Little Love Birds

Little love

You look so

So vulnerable
So young
So fragile

My beauties
Threatened

Fall in love

Little love birds
You are united
By love

Write A Poem And Immortalize Yourself

Write a poem and they'll
Read your masterpiece for
The next five hundred years!
Write a fabulous poem and they'll
Know who you are!
Write a great majestic superlicious
Poem and immortalize yourself!
Kings and presidents live and they
Die to be the footnotes of History!
But if you write a superb poem
They'll call you the immortal
Beloved of your generation!
Write the poem of the century
And you will speak in proverbs
With the gods!
