I have been greatly humbled by love. I tried to avoid it like the truth I didn’t want to know. I tried to run away but could not outrun my own shadow. I tried to kill it, but it grew back twice as strong, I embraced it with open arms and I've never been more wrong...

I screamed. And screamed. In a diamond strong rage forged by mountains of force and bleeding earth. I screamed, "ENOUGH." To my darkness: You do not own me. To evil: You will not rob me. To my...

By the time I was free to be myself, you were long gone. Distance is a wall and silence builds it brick by brick. And now, where are we standing? Between gaps in time, the words always come too late. Oh, how I wanted to show you all that I am, all I have to...

My love, I beg of you: Forget your eloquent evasions, show me your heart stripped bare. There's no use in wondering why your walls have kept me away. This is fierce love, not serrurie: set your castles on fire! Let all sense give way to senses. Hold me like tomorrow will never come, hold me in that heart of yours. You carry an inkling on your sleeve...

Homes turned furnace. Screaming dogs, burning forests, raining bombs... 

Fading like fireflies, rushing past our destiny, we lose...

blind me and bury me with shiny things and glaring screens so I don't see my broken heart. clutter my thoughts with...

You were once my world: enveloped in you, I could not see you. Now, I watch...

You never looked as beautiful as that one night in June, all dressed up in green. The setting sun...

Kumu Ramsay said: The world is your shadow, the world is your mirror. Everything that upsets you shows where you have not yet...

The world is my sister, as broken and human as I. Forgive her shortcomings. Love her for...

When the birds once more are singing and the blaring metal monsters stopped screaming, I have found...

The traveler has no home. They belong to everyone and no one. But I, the tree, grow roots to shade...

You, who rebelled against nature and declared belonging a loss: For to be is not to be. "The world is my oyster and I am its pearl. No..." 

And there where I saw his bones in the everflow of the marsh, I wondered: Is he at rest? The waters flowing right through...

the moon has scars just like me from the blows of life, and they say there's no life on the moon... but her body glows at night...

My pens and papers have transported you here, near, ever dear; my ever faithful listening ear; as I whispered, serenaded, screamed and cried into the abyss...

Why have you left your Turtle Island home and spread your arms over Mzansi, our land of gold and sunshine turned silver frost. Will this winter wonderland become our hungerland? 

Maybe I’d bring you a bunch of sweet orange flowers. Is it ironic that I planted marigolds used to honor the dead? Is it ironic that love has never felt more alive? I’m never one to remember faces, but I can still see you staring at me. Except now it’s like black and white film without color. And I'm...

Cry with me, Mother, and let our teardrops turn to rock. You can strike me until I shatter into a million pieces: I will become the sands...
