To End Love.

To end love

There is no such

A thing.

Love

Is something

We

Found

Here.

It was

Before we

Ever decided

To take it up

Or to put it

Down.

To end

Love,

There is no such

A thing.

Love

Is a never ending

Circle,

Whose sphere

Is without measure,

Whose shape

Is unknown.

Love is

Not

A thing

To pick up

Or to put

Down.

Love

Is alive.

It cannot be switched off

Unless

Hell

We choose.

Where love

Forever hides.

Yet love

Is

More

Than what we choose

Or not.

It waits.

It watches.

It sees.

Love

Has always been

Here.

Long

Long

After we are gone.

Love

Shall watch.

Love

Shall wait

To show kindness

At the first opportunity.

Love

Is not a thing to end.

Love has no end.

Love does not end.

Not for me,

Not for you.

Love abides

Forever.

Siki le Artist kule decade

So I was in Cape Town last week and I was introduced as a poet and an 'illustrator'.
This was done by a company that is taking Africa by storm show casing the best of African art. Needless to say, I took a second look at my drawings and suddenly believed in myself. If they did, who am I to say you're wrong. Not this time.

This is what I wish I looked like. With this figure.... But alas I can only draw it for now!

Where Hope Abides

Hope
Is at the edge
Of your tongue.

Life
Grows
Out of the roots
Of your thoughts.

Love
Springs forth
From the fountain
Of the Eternal.

Joy
Is the fire
That sparks from
The words of
Hope.

She said NO

1956
She marched on
She was black
She was white
She was Indian
She was coloured
She said NO 

Strydom hid
From her voice
Demanding justice
Strydom hid

Under her gaze
Apartheid shuddered
Apartheid quivered
Until it shattered

She said NO

2012
She is black
She is white
She is Indian
She is coloured
She says NO

Do not touch
My children!

She says NO
Do not
touch
me

She said NO
