Mending Words

Contrary let’s have a conversation  
Let’s speak to euphemisms 
And pregnant letters of anagrams 

Sentencing fixation declaring persona non grata
Heads chopped for Eskimos 
Sensing heresy and heresy’s 
Running around context to a content 
Telling a novel to a telenovela  
Paragraphs to a paraplegic in paralysis 
Please let’s not sell confirmation to be firm

Brought to be bought 
Needles piercing through a pierced needle 
Mending letters for letter heads 
A grieve sensing tears departing death 
Condolences speaking so well with pain

She’s passed on, on to the ethos-
And incarnations 
Ancestors to an ancestor- 
Leaving God with bill to captures guts;
A man with a liver
Words with a man and it was men 

Independents, depending on what happens 
Independents where are you?
Schizophrenia for frivolous 
Respect for all who respond 

Spirits speaking so well with spirituality
Serving a soul so soul for flesh purpose 
Unity with bones for free 
Miracles doomed and boomed in miraculous 
Listening to a beginning: a sun so sweet for a sweet 
Manifest in emblematic sworn in; the alchemy

Mending Words : THE TRENCHES
THE TRENCHES the pure truth so colorful, so to bring out the beast in a beast; philosophy, spirituality and dreams in priggish ways a fifth chapter.

Design of a Beautiful Life

What would twice be without; the moon and the sun
The men and the women; that brought creation to the earth
The sun and the flowers; that will always blossoms to life
The clouds and the rains; pour draperies of life
The night and the day; will always fall on us for a new day
The full and the hunger; fed us most
The poor and the rich; builders up new mansion in front of them
The hopeless and the hopeful; for now
The ugly and the beautiful; bolded in this beauty and the beast
The ancient and the; modernism we all aging to it
The mother and the nature; to this greener pastures
The gold’s and the diamonds; will shine so pricelessly precious to us
The cold and the hot; in this weather
The failing and the passing; passes by for another yesterday
The pain and the happiness; they cry together
The matrimony and the divorce; vows lingering carelessly upheld not
The good and the evil; will drown us in hell
The guilty and the innocent; judged to all to this design of a beautiful life
..............................................................................................................
CHAPTER 2 THEME: TRANSITION POETRY is a deep in true substantial obscurity of science in fiction, dreams in spatiality to bring sense to the world about the world in poetic form. Reality steps that it’s spiritually capturing glimpses of life in the most aspheric Dadaism, surrealism in its impression of metaphysical poetry.

Salt and Sugar

Bless and blossom; it was never going to happen 
Man and mine; they all worked there 
Glory and God; hallelujah 
Portion and pop; keep it coming 
Bottom and brim; it all starts at the bottom 
Zig and zag; always stood as art 

Commotion and calm; he will never breath again
Lap and leap; on his lap he said yes!,yes!
Speak and spend; all black was gone 
Quick and queue; starvation has arrived 
Tell and turn; nothing 
On and off; it was just a switch my brother 
All and alone; this ignorance speaks

Call and can; tell them we can’t do it 
Zoo and zoom; they were all black in it 
Seen and saw; it was no body, just a mob on dirty places 
History and happenings; not written in Africa 
War and worse; just another day in 04h00 am 
Drove and drown; black he can’t swim 
Bed and bet; you never wake up 
Lose and learn; but he was hung-over there 

Banana and ben; just another republic 
Cream and cram; all these babies 
Piped and pulled; all got shot for another day 
Plan and plant; they never survived 
Bitter and better; just another lie 
Joked and jack; then it fell on him 
Keep and kind; what a lover 

Fear and failure; just another class 
Wet and weird; she can’t handle it 
Man and myth; just another creature 
Sin and Satan; they always met 
Salt and sugar; created life and death
..............................................................................................................

Her Legacy

She toke her time with love
And laid every nice sheet for her friends to lay on it
Nicely, forgetting that she is a human
She makes mistake
She’s not perfect 

Then she toke her pain up
And left with it, leaving up nothing 
Making love 
Making babies, were there’s no money 
And poverty was so romantic

Her good soul stood up strong, 
Strength of a woman grew in her 
Strength of a mother
Enough to raise a village

Only sixteen in her bosoms
A girl
A little sister most importantly a mother
Winds blowing 
Mist falling, autumn falling summer 
Spring, springing not
Felt every pain
Felt every thoughts
Felt every words

She was just a girl
A teenage love affair
A puberty 
A period 
A pain

HER LEGACY:from chapter//POETRY & BLUES
................................................................................................................
POETRY AND BLUES is emotionally capturing depth of love in true characteristic of love embodiments, hence its roots. True told love stories in poetic form and love crime, love tragedy, love and love. Shakespearean is love, he defines it; poetry and blues.

Africa Embodied

African embodied in a birth of a nation,
I do apologize for my lateness in my African time
To the only goddess of Mother Nature in her smell of sweet
Grains of mountainous African mahogany, fruits; mahlatswa, ditshidi.

Picking up well blended colored African butterflies
Flies wild in to the bushes that shines whiteness and blackness for them
It’s in their juvenile minds; culture was just a small concept on them

Oh! Cocooned birth of Mopane worms, dinato
Brought taste of luck, bitter
Well green locust on green trees such a green leaf
Molapong maloba,sharing a small hunt of my brothers,
On a trapper sogarnished

Se laga, ka thiya dinunyana tse pedi tse taro
Singing songs of well initiation man
Counted few hours and months...Just away to a breath of a fresh soil, mobu!!
Domestically women prepared food for my brotherson ahunch ofa meal
Bare ke le sogana, bogwera boipeile hlere

Cut beneath feed left ancestor’s food prints 
And I looked upon long trees and I saw eyes of watered seas
That initiated perfectwomen hood; mosadi eseng leshaedi ka mitsha,
Maloba, maobane a intiramona ga bedi ga raro kakgwelaa maikutlong a bonna
Civilized primitive birth in my African indigenousness embodied metoday, tomorrow to live to tell the
Tales, that merogo was such an expensive dish

Virgins In Attica

The soul is dead in passing 
The spirit lost its belonging 
Running out of Ancestors peripherals
Last breath of thee, a gasp 

Trees are throwing out branches 
Thinking of a single brain 
Diamond things hard to break none 
“Too hard to pour”
“Too poor break”

Virgins in Attica 
Singleton a mother of a bitch-
Itching
Specifics specifying black or white 
Simply extending his lips 
Smiling less for laughter 
Toys and spoken speeches of these 
History, to tell his story 
Tell his theory  

Virgins in Attica 
Widow falling to a window
Washing was what Washington?
Dreaming of America 
But land on an African soil 
New York City was city 
She fishing dollars and gold- 
Fireworks   

Virgins in Attica 
Kwa Mayimayi  lets find strong a Medici’s 
Medicine to behold the earth 
Kwamhlab’ yalingana 
The earth is not enough 
Followed tracks of my roots 
Heard no song though 
He promised bundles of prayers
A land of milk, honey-
But a global warming watering none 

Virgins in Attica 
Finance marrying marriages 
Love put aside for chemical tests 
Chemistry of a super witch 
Crafting specialties of art 
Artist in Attica 
Mother Mary gave birthing to a love child 
I’m a bustard 
Adam, Eve figuring out penis-
Virgins in Viagra

Virgins in Attica 
She just a distraction 
No expedient in experience 
No feelings 
No emotions
No last for lust 

Virgins in Attica

I Dreamt of God

Sweats and colds 
Screams to the last lung 
Mucus to the last drips 
Philosophy of a Wiseman
Prayer to the last pray 
A miracle of a third mercy 

I dreamt of God!
Speaking last words of a last dream 
Passion of a last Christ 
Descendants of a last angel 
Last night of a last ‘mare 
Yesterday’s dreams  
Appearance of a beautiful impression 
A heaven’s hands ‘...Say, I can perform miracles’
Let the blind say I can see

I dreamt of God!
A lost man of his last sin
Impounded by wilderness and sickies
And “God was first to cry when he was born”
And women was last to cry when he passed on
No Babies
No birthing  
No Passion 
No Loving
Oh! Jerusalem of last Judges
A stolen holy ghost of a last spirit

I dreamt of God! 

Amen!

Poetry Its Taunting Me

Can I lend my brains for a day, year and minute only?
My heart only left to see if poetry will exist

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
My step father’s abusive days,
Days that one almost burning,
Burns “me”  
Memory sits me well
Paraffin stove was on flames
….in a beautiful shack of my mother’s 
Neighbors so silent, 
Shouting and screaming 
Trying to grab my mother out of this shackles
“Sick men” jealously in contempt

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
Walls toned down 
Paints falling and cracks birthing 
Signatures of my pasts
Bed so small tossing 
And turning; I fell
I could not remember his stir
I could hardly count his teachings 
Most importantly I could remember my mother’s bruises

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
‘This female companion’
Yet nostalgia sickens me
They told me they miss me 
I told them I love them 
They said “you’re like a brother”
Yet nostalgia sickens me
Circumcising my thoughts  

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
Alexander that day, my television battery was full 
In time for “Kunta Kinte”
My homework done
I could smell my mother’s perfume
I could hear my mother’s voice...
This time not crying as she so nicely speaks behind her scars

“Soul Brothers” playing at the back ground
I could hear him as he enters
Silent so stretched in my mothers’ beautiful half face

Peels of my heart pouring in prays
Hoping for another beautiful dinner
We never had!
Songs of Solomon
And Romans

Peels of my heart pouring in prays 
As he speaks, we are silent to hear
Finding comfort sleeping on the flow
Mother breathing in cries on her bed
Swollen face reddishness in her eyes in the morning
Songs of Solomon 
And Psalms

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
A beautiful summer afternoon 
Rains in razors as bullets cuts through them
I could see flames so cleanly animating in my eyes
Did not know whether to call it a crime or shooting games

Yet poetry is taunting me, trying to reconcile with my past
A beautiful girl next door
“Lion king; Hakuna Matata! Aint’ no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days”

A beautiful girl next door 
Speaking English to a death ear
But I listen to words, home so big than my thoughts

Ko ‘Pen’
Sunday “biscop” time, just in time to escape
This presents situations, “My father was a hero” 
 
Do you know it too?
