Brother my brother

Shoulders heavy with the weight of history
Skin tone painted with the colour of assumption
presumptious mentality founded by ignorance
everyday a reccurance of deterrence
Yet those feet keep moving forward
those shoes keep on clicking
Brother my brother cloth in hardship
achored only in faith
and the hope that the sun will rise again
while other looked away , you looked on
while they heard you listened
to the dreams behind little voices
and decided to decide to never give up
Brother my brother who uses the stars to tell time
before dawn those feet are moving
following the path of fresh grain
You will never be known to the world
yet you sacrifice eachday , pave ways
cleans streets,build bridges and roads for cars you will never own
yet you know your own
you take care of your own
you dont have a degree yet you graduated with honours in the university of life
for today this little voice has grown in to a young african queen
who knows this " I am because you were"
brother my brother

Woman

Touch my face feel the ladder of an African woman's skin
Touch these tears that washed yesterday and its anger
Forgiven and sacrificed unconditionally
touch my lips taste the honey and life that drips from these
the life and nourish that dwells within
touch my hand feel the strength that builds only to rebuild
Touch my belly feel the cradle of mankind
the origin of your colour your race
The fortress that never changes season or colour
touch my breast feel the fountain of wisdom that taught you Love
the taste of life in it's fullest

( picture is not work of poet and was found on goggle)
Remember this smile that leads your way
Know that's Life was your name even before you were born
Touch my hair know the texture of your roots
The throne of queens and princess
Touch my heart see what it's like to have gold in your hands
To have the Love of a woman
the love that is me

our house

( picture is not original work of poet and was found on goggle)


Our house is a house full of lies and silent thoughts of despise
Each morning is a reprise of eyes filled with apprise disguise
Our hearts are heavy with regret
As we play this duet
Consumed by hate we recite our lines
That defines this relationship
Designed to convince anybody but the stars of this show
Confined to this bed of self-deception with the perception that we are better off together
Covered in words that none of us want to say
With constrained smiles on display we role play only to delay the inevitable
Our house is a house full of lies dressed as love
Each night you make lie to me, with every stroke my heart chokes
And with every cell in my body screaming for me to run
To run and never look back yet my mind won’t comply; see I would rather be anywhere but here with you is where I seem to end up
Nestled in insecurities and tangled in strings of fears held together by years of self imprisonment
We wake up just to stay asleep
And sleep to wake up as freedom has become a concept that echoes in steep Mountains of games, shame and blames
The truth has become an unwelcomed guest in these walls
With chains too heavy to haul
None of us wants to say it but we both have fallen in to the arms of tolerance
Soul stranger turned to house mates, lonely but not alone
Looking to the other to save us from ourselves
Drowning in silent floods of tears and thunder
We don’t even wonder anymore about happiness
Instead we smile when we cry, laugh when we shout
Sadness and misery our daily bread
At least we have each other our daily song
We have been together far too long to let it end now
Besides who’s to say it’s better out there
It’s a thin line between Love and hate
Our house is a house full of lies and silent thoughts of despise

a young boy and girl under a gumtree

life just as it should be
No worries about days past or days to come
Words said or words to be said
Peaceful and honest smiles filled with the purest emotions
Life as it was ment to be
A life time of Love at the tip of their tongues
As they stare in to each other's eyes
Time seems to bow before them
Space and gravity lay before their feet
And gives way to this Love story that's unfold before them
Young Love with no expectations, predictions or restrictions
Young Love untamed like the laugh of new born
So fragile yet so strong
Two souls giving praise to the creator for this amazing gift called life
Their hearts filled with hopes and dreams of an everlasting today
A timeless and ageless Love
