Hate Love
I remember a time I was lost and found,
then lost and then found again.
When I was lost, I couldn't be found.

Welcome to Capetonian Poet 👋..
I remember a time I was lost and found,
then lost and then found again.
When I was lost, I couldn't be found.
Engaged in a life no one could wake me from...
With a mocking smile and a weary sigh,
He polishes his blade and keeps the dull edge high.
Memories of battles, victories he’s paid,
A king in his castle, with his power displayed...
the less I have to give
the more they take
how can they steal this part of me
I realize the world doesn’t even care...
trapped, you find yourself
in the sick cycle of insecurity
I feel sorry for you
blady hell, there's nothing I can do
watching you...
For the universe, a star so bright
shines a little Hope of light.
As we wait, forgiving day.
Born a Son granted Heaven's way.
We stood close, just two people kissing.
Just like the act of becoming more than friends.
So brave that I took the challenge.
We stood centred in the crowd.
It felt like a significant moment.
Talking for a while our words started to influence the atmosphere.
In the wake of the night, I rise with a temperature.
My heart is racing like a galloping horse.
I gasp for air.
Shaken as though I could not believe myself,
Was it real or just a dream?
have a braai
loadshedding know why
have a drink
loadshedding stink
watch the clock
loadshedding won't stop...
On the board she wrote new work.
Foolish children laugh and joke.
As she turned her face around,
Children quiet she heard no sound.
As she turned back to face the board once more,
What was deep down, is now ashore...
In the silence of what the mind wants to think,
It is powerful.
Holds all emotion,
Sends the perfect feeling for the heart to reveal,
However, it is only a thought.
As the sound enters the quietness...
There is a moment in time, where I lose my way.
Asking myself,
How did I get here?
When did this happen?
Why does this affect me?
What have I done?
Who am I?
I speak English and Afrikaans,
I live in a '3rd world country.
I reside along gangsters and corruption.
I watch the media black and white,
But I could not relate.
The fact that they foretold my identity,
Left me with some debate...
Yours held tightly in the pocket of my jeans.
Befriended a purple lighter in the means,
My nerves are hoax fine.
Then light a cigarette comes to mind.
Off we go to the smokers' section.
Pass the crowd in a quick...
Our bodies spoke aloud, yet we never said much.
Our tongue twisted in the sensitivity of lust.
Trembling as if I had never been touched.
Although, seeing believes...
I dare you to love.
I dare you to forever be with me in my heart even when we're falling.
I dare you never let go of my hand when the going gets too hard to understand.
We dare to let go of the pain and the constant fighting in this world we created for our love.
Love wins when you dare to...
I have seen company to company and employee to employee. Although, what I have noticed is that in the corporate world there is no human factor.
Except for greed.
I have seen the workplace swallow in and spit out people as if they were nothing...
Kyla, an only child, has just moved to a new neighbourhood, preparing to start her senior year at a new school. The prospect is daunting, but this year might bring the change she’s been longing for?...
In the wake of a devastating fire that razes her home and leaves her father missing, teenage Elena is thrust into a world of grief and uncertainty. Little does she know, the tragedy is merely the surface of a deeper, hidden mystery entwined with her family's secret legacy...
