The Journey

The Journey

Moved up to a new area and mum found a job at a factory/1 day when she was coming home she stormed into jeopardy,broken leg/so she couldnt go to work anymore,i couldn't contemplate so i started bangin ma head/i knew right there that the bin would be empty,no bread/

2002 must've been the hardest because I was starting to get introduced to a new way of living/
Had to stay high all the time to pardon the meaning of existing/
Grade 9 student fell victim to drugs,had to start stealing/
Carried on like it was normal,at least i was doing something/

Almost quitted,til i got arrested but i was pardoned because i was still a juvenile/
Mum had tears in her eyes,was like Fofo is this how you repay me for going an extra mile?
I couldn't care because that cannabis was speaking a different language,so i stared at her for a while/

Went back to school and everyone looked at me like i was juvenile deliquent/but fuck them,they never knew the pain i had to endure as a little child/
Had a father who was a drunkard and would beat you all the time/
You see all the pain, manifested and resulted to me thinking the world owed me a dime/

I was a brilliant young kid but porvety sure fucked me up/but as the saying goes "tough times dont last but tough people do",i had a wake up call before i entered my Senior year/
Mum spoke to me again,but this time there was this aura about her/

Made me realize how far we've come and how we could potentially change our fate/
Carry on little soldier like Senior year had a bate/
I could literally see my dreams coming true,mate/

Because no one has ever spoken so much sense before/
Guess what 2005 Sep i was looking forward to my matric dance,i had way too much to live for/
Live was way much better than before/

You see i never took the chance to thank mum for all the sacrifices she made/
But today my queen I'd like to tell you that all your efforts were never in vain/
You played your part and im very thankful for everything you have done...
Sincerely yours,
Your Son

In Her Slumber

In Her Slumber As I take a glimpse into her face and body blanketed by nothing but silk sheets, I get an array of thoughts that could swelter through her glistening smiles that is slapped across faces, Such beauty sends shivers through one's spine like you just had a brawl with Subzero(Mortal Kombat) I get enveloped in that space,a Quantum realm that is administered by rose petals, She drives me crazy,,,i call her automobile throttled paddles, A lullaby sight that transports my mind through time and space, She is gorge redefined im talking calf eyes, Cant help but get lost in a fraze of her stare, Im clutching through intense emotions as i jot down this sedition, A rare gem indeed,a fine drink distilled to perfection, One of a kind edition Allow me to get lost in this life-thing with you medarlings, You are cross-needled to perfection,garment me in your slumber, Cardigan my soul with warmth that could literally send the whole existence into sweltering conditions, She is

Covid19

Covid19 You creeped in like a thief in the night, Forced us into confined spaces and left the earth in fright, Our fate is sealed in your presence, We are even gobsmacked by their idea of having to soak our hands, Cant touch my face, My nose, My mouth. Many who have failed to adhere to your embrace have fallen victim, Their demise was met early like a grown man with low libido, Can't help but shake the feeling that you are here to stay, But like breast reduction i just had to piece this out my chest hey, Mass graves are the order of the day, Kids orphaned, women widowed and the whole entire world is left in limbo, Where are we supposed to go? We are caged like barbaric animals, While you eat us from the inside like cannibals, Noses congested and our respiratory system is infested with your clog like a broken drain, Lungs have no room to breathe but only scream in pain, We stay in hope our medical researchers can find a remedy, Until then we shall dance in your reign, Bu

Like a bottled up message,my love for you shall find its way to you through storms and life's hindrances, I am the feet and you are the rhythm,together we make a perfect dance, when you fall I shall catch you so that we can spite gravity,if you become a slave to my presence I shall join you in captivity,if you cry death I shall be with you for eternity!! I am on the brink of breaking words as I jot down this sedition,slit wrist are bleeding inks that speaks of your existence in my space,my notepad cries "save me" and u did abundantly,if words cant express then my notepad shall speak on my behalf...like poetry your my everything and i am your something :) :)
