When you almost fell off the edge

Harmony sought, yet shadows invite.
The devil despises when two hearts align,
For wonders emerge when love intertwines.
Fierce battles waged, arguments endure,
Yet within the struggle, a love so pure.
Listen,...

ANC Greedy Leaders- South AfricaIn a land where shadows linger long,
A tale unfolds of a people's song.

Living lives where stories are told.
No ego's sway,...

A sacrifice for every soul, a gift to humanity

Of cocoa skin and black-haired

Son of the people, wandering in the dying neighborhoods
With your sweet and spoken worldly pretentions
Hiding your...

Bed-Bound-Soul
The heaviness of this bed draws indications that I’m not sleeping alone
The squeaky sound of a loud spring creeping in as it moved like an aggressive ocean wave at night
