Two Too Much
To Tantalize with Skirt
To Jiggle and Giggle
To Romanticize and Flirt
Too Fickle with Wiggle
To Fantasize 'bout Skirt
No Jiggle and Giggle
To Dehumanize and Hurt
No Pickle to Wiggle

Too hard to think straight
Sat with my sad thoughts
Fearless as my body rots
I never knew you’d be here
I shed a tear without a fear
The devil’s not on my tongue
The angels are by my shadowy side
You’re singing the songs I sung
Once upon a time, my broken pride
You’re the only one I think about most
Who will I love most? I

Pushed Too Far
I've never been good enough
For you or anyone to love
The simple act of touching me
Made you wish for a glove
To you I'm fat and worthless
Or disgusting and not clean
I know that's not how I am
You only say it to be mean
You've destroyed my confidence
Relentlessly abuse me mentally
As I put

is it too late?
years have taken their toll
that's how we roll
we do our very best
and let go of the rest
we watch our life go by
and try our best not to cry
the world is in bad shape
i'm choking on a sour grape

I am too fragile to let people penetrate into my inner world
I am too fragile to let people penetrate into my inner world,
Too shy to complain about something, to express my dissatisfaction,
So sensitive that their words become burdens heavy to carry,
Too emotional to handle the turmoil that haunts my heart.
I am chaos, a strange one, always known as being unknown,
Silence and time spent alone are often

WILL I HAVE WRINKLES TOO
She crawled into her Grandpa’s lap…it brought a smile to his face…
for he loved anytime they had the chance to share in the same space.
“Why do people grow old?” She asked.
“Will I ever be as old as you?”
Then she gently rubbed his face and asked,
“Will I have wrinkles too?”
Grandpa smiled. “Growing

Too Young To Die
So long ago
It was a far different world
It was safe to be a child
You could attend school
Go to your church
Or just play outside
You would feel perfectly safe
No one decided when it was time to die
Now you cannot do these things
Not without worrying if you would get home
It is a sad world when there are

HEAVEN TOO EARTH
The look up
On Earth below
Rain that falls
Refreshing breezes
Winds that blow
Sky echoes
Internal and External at the same time
The thought and wonders of Heaven
Equal time
A place spiritual
Stories of miracles ever told
A Mighty King who sits high and bold
Earth preparations before
Uplift and galore
Flesh and Soul connected
Song of joy and peace
Distance beyond the human eyes to see
Every star twinkle

My next verse, too, was not a great hit
My next verse, too, was not a great hit.
And that ain't even the half of it.
They said, "You call yourself a poet?"
"I never did! I'm not! I know it!"
"With crap like this, you really show it."

Say Her Name And Mine Too
??
She trusted him.
Loved him.
Believed in the promise of tomorrow —
but tomorrow never came.
South Africa, our soil is heavy,
carrying too many daughters
laid down before their time.
Her name was whispered in hashtags,
her smile replayed on timelines.
She is every Ayanda, every Naledi,
every Lerato, every Zinhle —
names we say, names we march for,
names carved in our memory.
And I am

To forgive is human too
Of what use again is my tear to you?
I plead, I cry, I try to soothe with care,
Yet you ignore me, and call me a fraud.
I know I betrayed your wholehearted love—
But if to err is human, then to forgive is human too.

Too Late, Time's Up
Too late...for first impressions
Too late...for last reflections
Too late...for long discussions
Too late...for lost objections
Too late...for mending fences
Too late...for new romances
Too late...to pay the Piper
Too late...for second chances
Too late!!!
