Two rivers descend from their mountain source

Over the edge, barefoot towards their destinies

One finds open horizons, free flowing courses
The other, hidden beauty, silent testimony

Two rivers race towards the shoreless ocean
Boulders to pebbles, meandering their flow
One becomes a city slicker in slow motion
The other, to an ancient oasis it shall go

I stand ready as a soilder stands ready for battle,ready to receive you as your tounge spills an "I like you" .Would you like to hold hands with me?",ready to receive the kind of person you become for love,for feelings ,for emotions and as you step out of your comfort zone,I step out of mine.I stand ready as a soilder stands ready for battle ready to receive you as your actions drain the love I thought I had for you, ready to receive my mind as it wipes out the memory of my feelings for you.What I am not ready for is for is to realize and see that the version of you that I cr

Analogous to beckoning
think fickle finger of fate doth allure
gussied up with
windswept orange coiffure
tantalizes like a kid
in a candy store to explore
amidst treasure trove of words galore
recollecting when yours truly
a spunky lad though
physically, and emotionally immature

Arrived...
Two weeks after
In the car, I could hear you
Asking, " where is she, where is she?"
And I smiled and know immediately
That's me, he is looking for
His salt, his cotton, his sister
I got out of the car
See you running towards me as I ran towards you
" I missed you", you said
Sarcastically, I said, " you did", but my heart smiled
Because I did too
You took me by the hand,
You said, " come, come I have a supprise for you"
I followed

Like changing a bulb that's too hot to hold
The sun fell from the sky, but not from grace
Night drew in, the moon welcomed the cold
Until early next day, when the sun lit up its face

I slept overnight by the side of a creek
Amongst the roots of a tree, much larger than me
The oak swayed with the breeze as it rhythmically squeaked
Whilst I ignited a fire, the insects fled with speed

The Stranger's Inside
a poem by *eddy styx

Nowhere to run
nowhere to hide,
might as well face
the stranger inside.

Backed into a corner
up against the wall
so, it has come to this,
it's time for a brawl.

Fury I feel
At her finding of me;
Abnormal situations
Talk of Psychiatry.

Those whom I frighten
gave me Hellish birth,
and would, if I could
put them down under earth.

Juggling the jugular of jargon from the golden jar gone per sip, intentioned gorged by percipitation,
I stroll through verbal synergies for veracity sived through similies assimilated in receding patience,

Firmly fermented by infirmities which affirm the t's and q's that bear an open scar on my Virgo aura,
All round the fauna of my foraminiferas petal dichotomy disguised as monologs penned as orals.

Was Niztchie too quick to apply for the presumption of death?
Has life become nothing more than just a labyrinth dejavu of consumption of breath?

Let's have some fun she said
I watched her ass swing left and
right

Perfectly stuck out as she carried
a plastic

bag into the bathroom slapping on
the lights with her tomb stone shaped
nails decorated in ghosts and ghouls.

Shutting the door keeping my
prying
eyes away. Minutes later the door
flew open and out came beauty.

My orbs sprung out as she
revealed
a new outfit.

Freedoms melody : Echoing silence
With religion selling weapons as Bible
Echoes of forgotten languages
Barefoot on dusty roads, hollow bellies
We are nothing more than fugitives
Families shackled in poverty dark

Diverse, connected through content
Draped in traditional attire, unapologetic
Sharpville's ghosts still linger on
Freedoms promise : Coming soon to a ballot near you

It is within the pain that one end up gaining
Within the struggles one find the courage
It's within the world's questions one becomes strong

It is within the humiliation one becomes strong
Within the struggle one find peace
It is within .....
Within a cruelty of the old one to find comfort

It is within ...
Within changes one needs to adjust to
Within this world sacrifice are made
Within this world one independence for all

Within celebrity u find hope
It is , within....
