to my mind no calling was higher…

“Until the day I found that cursed tomb,
we were...

Holy Friday
Long, long ago afar away
Jesus died on Holy Friday
The close of earthly life for Him
To pardon us from human sin.
Greatest gift of the crucifix 
Is key to heaven in the mist.

Sent from God, thy...

Gewoonlik is my boundaries sterk 
Word ek assigned deur guidance met a Engels'vlerk
My journey neem langer en my sielsnare word gevleg

The dawning day is like an open door
for voyagers adrift in living stream
to waken from the dream asleep no more.

When out of slumber’s seas we’re cast ashore
and consciousness resumes its heady beam,
the dawning day is...

In the funky train,
 All the hoo-ha-noisy end in fisticuff;
 As the crumpled greenback hand-out cough,
 The law has nothing to handcuff, 
  
 Maneuvering on the sloppy storey hill
 A frantic dance of...

Joyous rapture awoke sleeping animalistic giant: 
carnal, feral, gonadal horniness in deed, when defiant

this primate crossed figurative 
   paths with a stunning woman 
older than a spring chicken freed

Created in the image of Òrisa and Olorun eleda
Visage brighter than Moremi's memories. 
Gifted the body of a voluptuous goddess,
For fear, Mortal men trembled at her sight; "the Oye".
Indeed she was moulded on Ojo àyeyè....

Die Lewens gang 

So dwaal ek rond in die lewens gang 
vol van verlange en oral teen di mure 
hang potrete van herineringe. 

Die tyd het geloop sy eie loop 
geloop. Hy het ons mee...

Kan you kill kompassion?
Or is this kosmic kuestion 
too komplicated to komprehend?


The hooded hoodlums of hate,
behind a mask
they hide their true face

They darkly despise
their distant kin,
those with melanin skin — 
Sun-protected epidermal blend

Solar kancer kancelled...

I must say you are one of those African
artistes that drive my soul to the skies 
and show me what the world looks like
 with the lens of legacies.
You drown my soul into the depths

As jy jou pyn buite wys 
sal vriendelike,
Irreterende vreemdeling 
jou inlig dat die wêreld 
aanhou draai.
En hulle is reg.
Dit doen.
Maak nie saak hoe hard jy 
dit smeek om te stop.
Dit hou aan draai.

Ek word wakker...

EMI LO KAN (It's My Turn)

What is "Emi lo kan"?
It is a selfish assertion,
It connotes one's right,
the selfishness that makes a man 
put himself first before his nation.
To put one's ambition and personal interest 
ahead...

Hengâme 2

yagmur yagiyor üryan ve telas içinde izmir’e
bir kadinin incecik parmaklari gibi dokunuyor bedenime
iterek karanligi geçiyorum sarhos dervisler mezarligindan
cebimde intihara meyilli flüt sesini annem saniyorum
yanilgidan içimdeki tanri resimlerini ters çakiyorum kaburgama



daglara ormanlara suya inaniyorum içime...

Imperfection. 
That's my true definition. 
Hidden within the prison of
Saddness and Konfusion
And kaged and shackled by
Maddness, and Delusion.
A psychotic subconscious, 
With no place or worth.
Alone, embraced by fear.
This is my home.

Built from stones of insecurity,...

Jera

Aku terus berjalan dibelakangmu
Yang tampak hanya punggungmu
Inginku merengkuhmu tapi ku tak mampu, kasihku
Inginku menyapamu namun ku tak sanggup, cintaku
Haruskah hasratku terpenuhi hanya dengan pandangi punggungmu?

Aku sangat ingin menatap wajahmu
Terengkuh kedalam peluk dadamu
Namun ku takut
Karena jeraku...
