ETERNAL LIFE
How can we seriously explain that life begins and ends if it always continues... Eternal life exists I know that because there is no eternal hell We are born but we never die as life is eternal and continuous Let's seek infinity forever...

Comfort
You are the warmth of the summer sun That makes me long for distant shores On a rainy day You are the gentle breeze that bathes my face At the end of winter when spring flowers Come out to play You are the magnificence of the elusive moon That bids farewell to a day of joy And renders me whole You are the sweetness...

Immodest Proposal
It might be an absurd idea But we need to move on from here Stalled in the darkness With no moral compass To guide us into the clear It might be a ridiculous notion But we can’t just float on this ocean For the Scylla and Charybdis With no light of forgiveness To warn against the tide of commotion Allow me to propose...

Mountain of lies
By: Khomotso Makitla Dear loved one, It’s me your UNREQUITED LOVER. In hope I hoped that this day never unveil. As your WHISPERS still roam free in brain, whispers and hisses of broken promises. I nearly fumbled to open my heart once more, But I once trembled on your mountain of lies. Stone by stone I was there but...

We Live in Denial
In blackest halls, a phosphorescent light Shines forth from darkest depths, a honey glow. Enraged, ignited, I now blinding bright, A magma burning, pyroclastic flow, Torching golden beams to desolation. Enveloping destruction, ash I leave Until it’s done, my wounded heart’s cremation. Now hushed to ember, my healing reprieve. Returned to dormancy I hear it more, The walls that groan after each...

Another's of One's Own
Reflected grief spat back at me to bear Another load, the double of my own To take and carry, this unholy pair Then tripled, multiplied, beneath I groan. A beast of burden hauling my bloated Carriage, cut into with refracted shards. Whipped for my pain, heavier I’m loaded Pile after pile, the crown a house of cards. I tread...

Premium Member A PERSPECTIVE VIBE FROM ME TO YOU
A PERCEPTIVE VIBE FROM ME TO YOU Come sit and vibe with me With an open mind receptacle; Listen to my pouring out of positivity And to what you may find acceptable:- Oh, in the challenges of life, We must put all things in perspective; Particularly those that bring about strife, And propels us into being self-reflective:- Perspective prepares personal preservation; Heeding one to...

THIRD EYE SPEAKING
THIRD EYE SPEAKING I see past present future fluff in a ball of bluff a ghost down the road dressed as Victorian toad speaks through an IPhone on cue about cooking fish stew There rests a bureaucrat drinking mint tea you see a leather armchair, I see a bucket of stolen notes his front is mickey, back a mountain goat which is...

The Silent Language of Earth
In the quiet dance of earthen form, Where roots entwine and life is born, Approach with a heart as steady as stone, Grounded in truth, where seeds are sown. First glances, though brief, hold the weight of earth, In the curve of hills, in the soil’s rebirth. A stance firm as rock, or a body that sways, Speaks of struggle, or sunlit...
