Miss Ebony Eyes

Ebony eyes I can’t lie about this;

Every year this time you’re the first wish on my christmas wish list;

Miss Simplyxclusiv, you’re still the one I seem to miss;

I try play it off but it’s kind of obvious;

 

I bet you didn’t know I still feel for you Miss ebony eyes;

How could you if my hearts wearing a constant disguise;

Two souls that were once one are now just a memory lost in time;

I would have told you how I feel inside;

 

But you burned my soul and now I’m halted by pride;

Now I ain’t saying we should love again;

I’m just saying I miss my best friend;

I just miss spoiling you from time to time;

 

To see that gorgeous smile and give you peace from your past for a little while;

See it was never about me even since that first time;

But in the same breath I couldn’t stop my heart for falling for your ebony eyes;

I’ve been hurt that way before so here is the truth;

 

Real recognises real and I saw that scarred look when I first layed eyes on you;

Maybe now that I’m taking time to explain you’ll understand what I mean;

Why when you treated me cold I still elevated you like a queen;

Loving you was about healing your heart and not about me;

 

Sex was never my first priority;

I was trying to fill the void that was left by him;

Things you didn’t see;

But that’s the truth Miss Simplyxclusiv;

I know I didn’t lay it down like them other dudes you rolled with before me;

My aim was to give you the kind of love your heart was needing but had never seen;

I tried to treat you like a queen;

But it backfired and bruised me within;

 

Miss ebony eyes, Miss Simplyxclusiv;

Hope you think back and smile when you read this;

Cause when I’m out and I get high;

That’s when I really miss those ebony eyes

Fallen Stars

When one legend dies;
Another star is on the rise;
Cause true legends never die;
They only multiply;

Madiba and 2pac were fallen stars;
And I’m a morning star on the rise;
I’m not claiming to be them, no, they were living Kings;
I’m only claiming to be me;

A mortal man with a possibility;
I’m here to change the world’s twisted views and flip the game with epic verses;
With poetry never heard;
Real poets are born and don’t need to try;

I write poems in 10 minutes without effort, it’s just a part of my everyday life;
Like breathing and blinking my eyes;
I don’t do this for money or fame, but to impact the world before my demise;
I speak the truth with every line;

If you like it or not I’m only fooling myself if I lie;
If I live to impress people how will I explain this to God when I die;
And I meet Him in Heaven’s frontline?;
I’m only using the gift He game gave me before I was even alive;

And exited my mother’s womb with tears in my eyes;
You can’t buy respect, it’s earned;
You can’t study wisdom, with struggles it’s learnt;
I had bridges, but it’s my choices they up in smoke and burnt;

I lost too many years focused on the past;
Chasing loving cause I never got enough love from my dad;
Hoping if I chase it, love would last;
But it didn’t matter, that shit ended way too fast;

I’m not a legend yet, but at least I’m trying to change this shit;
The world’s ways, I’m sick of it;
So all I can say before I die is I tried;
Cause when you see one star fall out the sky, just keep in mind another one is on the rise

Billy Goat

Billy goat told them how Salem was lost,
sailing through tumors and murmured moans in the frost
cost an imp wishes, how they envisioned the image of God,
Twitching in repetition as Lepers just arched into rock,
Barged into hoofed quarters and continued to order the flock,
clocks ticking so why we sticking round on this block?
ground mimics tin heights, tonight’s the winters crop,
Can’t he limit how Billy fills the dark,
with phantom angst as his pride hangs dancing in fog.
Grab the grey book pageant and imagine the cost..
lost the tapes they say saw me snatching the tags from this cross,
bragging how they bagged Satan, but why don’t they state how I made life rise from the moss,
screaming “pops its alright, I taught Cyclops how to write with one eye and walk with two left feet” left crying if you believe that love’s blind.
Try dying twice awake, sheesh when I sleep I’m alive,
with ruby red cheeks weeping the thief has arrived,
silently cloaked and violently floats through design
told them of Pieces and Christs rise to divine,
How the tiger turns to lion and
Venus’s streaming pleats took a seat beside mine.
Decide who’s to rectify the eccentric owls cry,
repent for the pessimistic who sanctify angered vibes,
mystic crafts garnered, armed the divide
but I….
I held the precious child speaking tongues between smiles,
leaping from this trees brow ailed by a fraille outline,
how they made it look easy,
believe me I’ve tried,
to sketch on fleshes surface and give purpose to mine.
Written in cursive with hands tied finger tips gripping the sunrise
tied to Poseidons sinking wit and split from the wise.
It ripped through summer gales, trailing the vines,
displayed in Mercury’ fiery pulse and fell to the side…
but I…
I’ve seen the night rise in my prism of light,
been imprisoned by doves wings under the timid stars eyes.
Will it devour my soul?, or will it teach me to prize?
Reach me liberty, Shit, we owe it to life.
Can the shuttle bring peace while we’re huddled in ice,
but will it devour my soul? its so cold we might just give it a try.
Why’s the weather changing? Let’s arrange to play blind,
and cage your heart in the lake made from an angels final cry.

My empty promises

Ever since we meet,
I never said a word to you,
Did you called me a lier?
Oh well, I lied,
I admit I did?

Keep on telling you things that don’t even exist.
This is my last word of hope to you.
I will never failed you,
Nor even in my dreams.
I will never fool you!

My empty promises,
That made you realized how selfish I am.
Did you called me a foolish guy?
Oh yes I am.

I am the foolish guy
The one that made you left your belief,
The one that never care much about you future.
I lied, I betrayed you!

Stranger

From a distance I gaze upon your beauty as you appear from within the evening mist and lightly brush against my soul, breathing sweetness on my spirit with the breath of angels love; – a stranger who would linger in the passage of my mind and there upon my barren soil, pour water on the seed of long forgotten love…

Leonard Kotze.

Awake from the dream

When the dream becomes untouchable, and the vision fades away, – it is in reality that I awake and find your presence in my life to be greater than anything I have ever imagined in the slumber of my darkest night..

Leonard Kotze.

Nelson Mandela

NELSON MANDELA
1918 – 2013
R.I.P.

From the bare footed cradle, your youth spent in pain, you grew from the shame imposed by oppressors and rose to reign.

Devoting your life to the country you loved, you suffered affliction directing us above our failures and fear.

The children of poverty, the sick and the lame became your flock when you had finished the game.

Now a nation mourns… – forever your eyes have finally closed, – father of a nation, maker of peace; your time had come for eternal rest.

Leonard Kotze.

Warrior Of Freedom (Dedicated To Nelson Mandela)

Warrior of freedom;

Angel wings hidden and remain unseen;

Born to set a bound nation free;

Who fought endless struggles just for you and me;

 

The epitimy of strength, love and humility;

Who’s eyes never saw race, colour or creed;

Who went to jail when he wasn’t even guilty;

Who would do that for another human bieng?;

 

I’ve been in jail and that ain’t the life for me;

I could never accomplish what he effortlessly achieved;

He endured struggles I’ve only seen in my worst dreams;

He showed us all what real unity is;

 

Nelson Mandela, thank you for freedom’s gift;

Finally you have found peace;

Even though it’s you, we as a nation will forever miss;

It’s the peace you fought for, earned and you deserve it;

 

So think of us as you enter Heaven;

And God welcomes you with these words “Well done my good and faithful servant”

Just love me, or I will commit suicide

I demand your love;
I demand your attention.
I know you’re married
I know you can’t go against your husband,
Even though it is so
Even though it is not meant to be.

I know you can’t let me died
You can’t stand seeing me leaving you.
Love me now or i’ll commit suicide.
I’m not begging you for sex
I’m not going to make you cheat to your man.
I just want you to love me.

Just say you love me,
Even though you’re not,
Even though i know you’re stopping me to kill myself.
Just foo me or else….
And i’ll be fool and not die.

Love Without You Just Ain’t The Same

I have you on my mind;

Can’t shake this feeling no matter how hard I try;

Even if my mind reminds my heart about all the tears you once made me cry;

It doesn’t change this love I still feel deep inside;

 

Yet I know the differerence between wrong and right;

I just can’t stop myself from missing you late at night;

And when I wake, that old lonesome feeling catches me off guard and takes my heart by surprise;

I force myself to forget, but my stubborn heart just misses you even more each time;

 

When I close my eyes then you flood my mind;

And if  by chance I forget and have a little peace;

Our song comes on the radio and I start missing what used to be;

Tell me will this feeling ever leave?

 

Or like Asthma is it an uncureable condition that without warning makes it hard to breath?

If I knew I’d miss you so much girl, I’d have begged you to stay;

But I didn’t so I let you slip away;

It’s a memory that’s become a regret that never goes away;

 

Playing like a broken record, a song I can’t change;

So after all the love I’d had since us, I’ve found that without you love just ain’t the same
