Soul muse

For countless times I've fought the battle of my feelings for you. Denied the feelings I have for you. I've tried to justify why we cannot be, Instead of looking for reasons why we can be. We can be together. And we will be. Just not now cause I have to deal with battles within me. In the mean time I'll settle for late night calls. I'll settle for morning texts. And occasional cuddles in bed. I know who I'm in bed with. My eyes are set on a woman I appreciate. A woman who is rich in love, And shares that with me. The conversations we have often get deep, Mostly before we sleep. And sometimes the conversations don't end in sleep. This is the beauty of a friendship that grows. Grows between seasons and phases. Now it has changed and, We are now talking about where we will be. With kisses in between. This transition is often confusing. I have asked myself if this was an illusion. Prayer has ended in tears cause we both seek for answers. May...

These pictures are not enough to hold on to. I need to hold you. I need to see, smell, touch, feel, taste you, cause these pictures aren't enough to hold on to

Sunny days with you are my favourite. Sharing a picnic blanket while staring at the sky. The simplest moments really are worth cherishing. The little things carry  over the longest time. Sunny days are not the same without. I just want to share an ice cream with you. Want to hear you laugh over silly convos about clouds. Sunny days are not the same when you're not around. Might as well sit in the shade so that I do not frown. Miss the days when you were around.

I should write poems about you but I'm out of words. You've taken my breath away countless time. You've taken it away from me again with elegance. A red dress, and lipstick to match. The colour of danger has covered the one I love. You've left me lost for words. Cannot begin to seek what was never meant to be found. My happiness is in the peace of finding my love for you.  A sick man's poem.  ~Khwezi.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Khwezi Shelembe, in full it is Khwezilokusa, meaning morning star in Zulu. I come from the city of Durban, South Africa, and was born in the early hours of the day in September. My mother was blessed to have given birth to a baby boy. It is no surprise she gave me the name Blessing which I am commonly known by. Coming from a humble background, I have learned to appreciate life's ups and downs. I was fortunate enough to be sent to a good school where I developed my language a bit further from my friends back home. As I grew, I stumbled upon the notepad app on my Blackberry at the time and began to express myself, starting with what is similar to vanity cards. Writing encouraged me to write better speeches for class. I went through all of these hoops before truly discovering that I could write poetry. Always been a fan of Hip Hop/Rap, I guess it was to fall on my lap at some point. After gaining 5K views for my book  Her in my mind  on Wattp...

Description  Romantically life is made up of different paths all of which drive us closer to our soulmate. The one person whom you will love and cherish for the rest of your life. Soulmuse is the idea of a writer being driven towards writing about their soulmate, or the quest to finding one rather. The quest is riddled with chances lost, and opportunities taken along with sacrifices. Tagged with pain and confusion the writer has experienced on the journey to love.  The soul is a beautiful piece of poetry. This blog will be updated with poems on a regular basis. I write what I feel, and vent on my notepad. Down at the bottom I'll have a link to my book on wattpad. Where I posted my work. The book is compiled with 80+ parts of poetry based off personal experiences with love. Will post more on that link and this blog. The book should give you a gest of my style of writing and what is to come. Often  my writing strays from love and leads to sad poems and depressing thoughts. ...
