Long Colour blind Poems

I still have that letter somewhere.
You made me promise to not tell anyone you wrote it.
So I kept that promise,
I kept it for thirty years.
I’m kinda thinking it’s long enough.

Why was I attracted to you?
It...

Again
knocking at my door again
knocking down my door again
impatient and swift
a monster in disguise
lies this depression in determined silence
How it rose from the sand and gravel
of the hour glass
how it rose out of time
like an...

Her flapping wings ceased the troubled storm,
The ant of the dwarf looks like an Iroko.
Toweling my ego towards her fixed feelings
She penned her pride just perfectly to me;
The raw prettiness that bleeds her feminity.
Alas! The...

go away, far faraway
find a land as i say

no matter the sun,no matter the rain
no matter the soil or barren land
matters most the humble occupants
the flight of birds, the roar of beasts
the lush green,tall trees,...

I know you won’t think so 
But I do understand 
Why you left to travel 
To an unknown foreign land 
  
Leaving everything you and I 
Grew up with 
Although I am not from...

Romeo

'When truth can't help someone,we have to lie'
Until the moment our chance is denied

Mistress put Romeo's life on hold,
The volume key to his life low,
Romeo seems to be like a sheep, polled

It would well be...

. 
 I found it between freshly cut buttercups  

and a cerulean sea

Splashed upon a canvas

 of a painter' s fantasy .

I am colour blind , yet since I was a child

I could feel,...

How will I be in 10 years,
the fir tree asks the maple,
the calf asks the cow,
the baby splutters out


I need to know before they publish
the writs. I need to know 
before my head is presented

“Sleep paralysis is like a waking nightmare, except you can’t escape it.” – Unknown



Tonight, when the 
jilted bells toll, 
my decayed 
soul sighs,
I lay paralyzed 
beneath an estuary sky
of thin fluffy ruffles-
cashmere mattress 
of cotton...

In the old green country
The artist painted beauty
The river in a flow of orange
A blue-grey backdrop
The rolling Drakensburg mountain range

A mosaic of nine shades
With eleven distinct tones
Under the cool shade of a willow
He painted a...

Self knowledge equated to the encyclopedia
and perceived facts, products of personal reasoning
the efficacy of thoughts should not be questioned
and assumptions simply made real and absolute

Typical of such a thought stamps on convictions that
the banana and...

'Twas nine o'clock on Monday morn 
And Ned was full of cheek, 
Depositing the cash he'd won 
From gambling through the week. 
 
The manager was curious 
And asked Ned for the drum 
On how...

Make me feel extraordinary once again
Please don’t notice the scars upon my soul
The light is slowly dimming from my mind
The angels have long stopped their redeeming call 
But I am colour blind to your pain

As consciousness rose
 so did the shadows in men,
 until the white sun rises
 and leaves turn unfolding Zen

In the long grass of sleep we all lay
 awaiting the awakening to life,
 innocence filled our...

Uncomplicated me
I thought I was coloured blind
free thinking and kind
with an evolved mind
Loving and accepting 
of the ones I find

Yet my blindness 
Is that of privilege
I'm just a visitor
in the Global village
From my narrow thin...

I beat my wings
At the moment of exhale
Unaware the air had grown stale
I was a white washed wasp
With no sting in my tale
Maybe because daddy bent my mind
when he told me I was destined to...

The Unrealistically Color Blind Gals and Guys

The guy over the boundary
Across the river must be a fool
To say that without imagery
No poem is a poem
But how will I create an image
Of the good will I...

Happy Fathers Day Big Fat Father!

You know what it’s like when...

Barriers broken, 
   Words unspoken
Cant let you in
  My skins to thin
My hands are bare
  Sweat covers the 
Fear.

A layer taken,
  Starting to break in
My thoughts are shaken

Smouldering pieces of thread,
Quenching synthetic boarders from ourselves,
A Phoenix burns within,
Onto crimson wings we fly,
As our heart burns forever, never to die,
Never to die,

Ashes that dashes all fear yet curiosity
Burns still, we will all be...

We live in a world of so many ethnic divides

The future is in trying to unite

Healing the damage trying to make things right,

The colour of your skin or your belief

Makes you in no way different...

Sometimes especially on days sunny and so quaint
I feel like tossing my bonnet without restraint
Just exposing my mind freshly vividly bepaint
How else strangers and neighbours can I acquaint

Flowers and sunshine and rainbows on my brain...
