Toast To The Girl In The Matte Black Latex Dress

This is dedicated to the girl who said don’t call me no more, don’t send me a text cause I don’t wanna hear from you no more, Like what happened to “I wanna be with you, you are my one and only and all the trials and tribulations we can overcome those”, Guess it was all just a façade and yes me being me. I listened, me being me, I won’t drink from that tap again, not saying I was thirsty but I saw me in you, Wait, I meant I saw me with you, past all the hills and rivers between you and me, me and you were cool, dreams set to fly, But I guess like Ronaldo I became too much for the team, best to leave me to the rumours of what was and what could have been…. This is dedicated to that cutey who drove with me in my hoopty until Friday became Saturday and we called it working late, Good girl almost turned you bad but damn you too good to be bad, those innocent eyes still look at me like I could be your world, But we on two different worlds and I’m not in the habit of getting into a beautiful war, one day I’ll come through for a little meet and greet, But lest we meet in my carnivorous greet, you too sweet for me to take you apart like a fox in the wild, You still hang on to that lifeless embodiment of knight in shining armour, how could it have been..... This is dedicated to the girl who got me all tied in a big ego, you still my kryptonite but I act all hard in your presence, Meant all hard-core no 50 shades of grey but you still ravishing on a 50 shades tip all day every day, The way I keep falling for the small things you do and how every conversation goes from hello to good morning shall we go again, Who would have known that girl I chased around the playground would still be the girl I chase around trying to grind, Little finger wrapped around my heart, you are my puppet master and yes I know how it should have been…… This is dedicated to the girl who said don’t call me no more.......

Chasing You......

Mountains in the range we Himalayan, mountains in the range we Himalayan, You passed me in the Range, I'm feeling pretty inadequate, I'm not the one you should be searching for, baby I'm not your Neo, Felt truth left the door we living a lie now, you know Matrix things, Idols and false Gods I couldn't give you the world although I tried carrying your world like I'm Atlas, Alas Samson went and lost his powers guess that's why I'm going brush cut now, Pencil skirts and Brazilian weaves never could afford you, Wonga loans they ain't paid off, call centre prolly has my number on speed dial, Still paying off that one night at Taboo, you too much for me, Himalayan.......

Hope You Bought It (Freestyles of Free-Wealth)

Remember that little line we travelled way back in the day, Dreams deferred and cigar bars with whisky glasses in custom bags, We ready for the turn up whilst we still deferring our taxes, Many think re tsene, many think re namile maoto but santse re kokota, Gauteng go a nela santse re koloba, those 0’s on the cheques we still chasing them, But we still seeing smiles from the gold cards, platinum bands and Armani watches, I guess we still making it gradually from stock falls and property holdings, To registered companies and directorships we could only read in newspapers, Who would have thought that life would steer us in directions we never knew could exist, Not to say we living large but from the streets we found ourselves on and the hardships that life brought our way, Can’t help but say hope you bought it…………

[skyeneo]

Since You've Been Gone.....

We sneak around in open bedrooms with glasses filled to the bream You still worry about that last puff I took like it's the worst that could happen We scream to the top of our voices at midnight just so we know we alive Since you've been gone this heart of mine is been lost at the bottom of a can Malts and single shots I still sneak around to catch your shadow New year, new fling, new prospects may we see new prospects See you soon..........

Juillet

Never thought the day would come,

When one looks back and is reminded of a past filled with memories and past endeavours.

Who would have thought as time went on we would be here,

Well, me here, you there, superpowers of unrivalled passion.

Thinking back to how we made the park our own, we owned that,

Probably we should charge rent for those trespassing on our spot,

Our spots, my grazing spot, still can’t get over the fact that you broke a rule for me,

90 minutes we dived in 90 days what was that girl?

Did you really think we would make it that far?

All crazed, up all dazed up, all sweated up, we created a standard.

We made a hit in the East on wooden floors, maybe the neighbours heard us,

But we weren’t about that life, college life was trill nice.

Returning back to a time when I was at my most devious, most sweetest,

We should do that again, ok wait, maybe not, maybe not, seriously maybe not,

Ok maybe not play 3 rounds again, but drink up to the city, ok the dorpie,

Have a dop on how we painted every place we landed at with lust, oops I mean love.

Yeah, we should probably rename the town to our town, just go to town like we never knew how to town.

Memories of days gone by, but I’m here and you are there, can’t believe how far we have come,

I was just thinking about you…..

[skyeneo]

No filters, no edits (freestyle)….

Composure, keep it together, be blissful, be happy, be jubilant,

Forget all the memories of past memories, one day it will all make sense,

Still can’t believe you waited this long, it’s truly amazing,

You deserve it all, the kisses, the hugs, the red light specials and those flowers you keep dreaming of,

You deserve it all, don’t take this like a love song, take it like that victory lap.

We have reached the beginning of the pinnacle,

It’s been so long I even forgot how much I love all this,

Typewriter vibes, I’m making my way to you one click at a time,

Facing the end of the road, hope you will meet me at edge.

The darkness before me dissipates at the feel of your touch,

Your infectious smile comes around every second like the valley of a thousand hills,

You bring pleasant joys of the next day, I will still be dreaming of you…..

Rhythm Swinging Melodies (XO)

So, I woke up with a song in my head,

Thought twice about putting pen to paper,

This could be the best song I ever wrote.

Took to driving and as I was doing 120 on the freeway,

I had a beat in my head

That beat was the beat to the rhythm in my soul,

The words and the chimes met the chords,

And a melody of sublime blues was in orchestra within my head.

The birds sang along

Chirping away sweet serenades that became the saxophone to the melody playing in my head.

Car engines revved up to levels of that bass guitar,

With hooters and horns adding to that harmonic feel of the French horn and flute,

The smile that hit my face was one of SAMA material yes!

Song of the Year nominations maybe, just maybe an Oscar for good measure.

This is the best song I have ever heard.

Turning left the wind blows past almost like a symphony of violins and violas with violets blowing past,

Corner of my right eye an image sent from the heavens I do see,

And in an instant I knew that the beat in my heart, the symphony in my head,

The classic melodies of the best song ever heard

Led me to this one confluence this one occasion,

The smile on your face with the glow of a thousand stars, you are mine….

Love Tree (All Over)......

Traveling to Mars, Bars filled with ecstasy, thinking I should be your fantasy.

Writing a few lines down, hoping to get away with a fine, would you lay with me or should I start again?

Thinking of the days we spent in the east, everyone says we lost it all, I couldn't predict the fall.

What happened to your love? Tears on the pour, fears of rain on the horizon.

Dark days have met our hearts, Noah’s Ark seems too far to reach, lets create our own beach.

Dry your eyes, fry up some links with those grits, as I ink your name on my heart.

Should have never let you go, now you out with the fret boys and they hoping you blow.

I hope you find you whilst I remain blind to your beauty with faulty heart-lines, I lie.

That sweet caress is now just tweets in the quagmire of a lost Shire.

Should have kissed you more, all I missed was your touch but  we continued to fall.

I wish for one more night, the ever present delight of passion in the light.

Forcing myself to forget you, love itself found me but I seem bound to the tears.

One day it will all make sense as the cries of past fill the hollow stump of the mast.

La Fumée (un jour, il sera logique)

Diamonds on the soles of her feet,

I met a girl who it seemed life was treating good, you know some LG things, Life’s Good,

She said, she was pampered in diamonds and silk,

Diamonds on the soles of her feet,

Woman of the soil living the good life.

This all started as I left through the front door towards the bridge,

She walked past me shimmering in gold but all that glitters isn’t always gold,

She said, I needed a release running towards my dealer before my dream catcher noticed I had left for a little puff and pass,

Nicotine for her was her salvation she said,

Puffing shisha, you will find me in my dreams,

I kept listening to what she had to say puffing shisha,

Puff, puff pass, I hope my dream catcher doesn’t catch me catching smoke,

She said, the only person who knew her made her dreams seem so real,

That one person who believed in her wasn’t even hers,

Diamonds on the soles of her feet,

She continued with a heart flagged in white smoke,

Puff, puff pass, she said, he is probably the one but love is so clichéd that it might only be a release,

She said, love always found her but never like this,

In a relationship with a man who couldn’t care less but doesn’t find it in her to leave him on the daily,

Smoke hits her head but she has her dream catcher who she caught feelings for early on and it continues to grow,

Puff, puff pass, I hope my dream catcher doesn’t catch me as she looks from the corner of her eye,

Diamonds on the soles of her feet,

All that glitters isn’t bathed in gold,

She said, she felt all alone in a world with billions of people, all alone in a continent with millions of people,

All alone with a circle of friends that numbered the thousands,

Puff, puff pass, pass the shisha hope my dream catcher doesn’t catch me with this nicotine in my hands,

She said I find myself being the only one of my species, a dreamer, a go-getter with no one to believe her,

Diamonds on the soles of her feet,

She said, I’m all alone in a world where the strong survive and in my strength I’m ridiculed for being “Mrs Know-it-all”

She said she finds herself afraid to voice her opinion cause well, she’s a know it all,

Ridiculed for her intelligence she has nowhere to run but the nicotine to stay calm,

I hope my dream catcher doesn’t catch me,

Puff, puff pass, love always finds me but love never wanted me,

With diamonds on the soles of her feet,

She said, I put on a brave face but I’d rather have a part of me not a part of this world,

I’m just holding on cause I have my dream catcher,

Oh gosh! I hope my dream catcher doesn’t catch me in this white smoke and nicotine,

She said, she used to look forward to Mondays but now she looks forward to Saturdays,

Not like she sees her dream catcher but because she can’t stand to see her dream catcher hurt,

Day by day puff and pass with every puff she knows she is losing the dream but she puts on a brave face,

She knows that her dream is but a silhouette of passed ashes puffed up within that white smoke,

Puff, puff pass, I looked, I listened to the girl that in my head had it all,

I hope her dream catcher doesn’t catch her in that white smoke on the last puff,

And she walked away with diamonds in the soles of her feet.........xo

Dear Love (Just for Control!)

Dear Love

  I am writing to you in my personal capacity

As a deviant lover, a lost sheep, a moron.

Could you assist me with the address to a certain lady’s heart?

I once had it but I lost it in the fire.

I lost it whilst being selfish trying to find me.

I tried exhuming, excavating through the rubble but it was too late.

I lost the jewel that completed my crown.

I missed the chance to be king ‘cause I was being a jester.

  I hope this finds you in time.

Memoirs of a record lost in Venice (Remember Me)

Old typical love story, boy meets girl, girl falls for boy

Don’t even know whether to call this a poem or a song

Seems like it is a juxtapose of positions and hearts

Maybe we should just call it a love letter

Wait, an open letter seems more appropriate

Yes, indeed, an open letter seems about right

But the problem we face is that a letter needs a subject

Something like, how do I love thee or something

So in essence this can’t be a letter,

How about ramblings of a drunk in love

Wait, that would fall back into song

Like I would be on that drunk in love remix

I been dranking, I been dranking

Ain’t nothing more than my babe loving me tip,

I digress on the implications of solace

It seems even on a cloudy day like today my mind’s clear

Was it you with the perfume that brought out the sun?

Wait, that’s going back to poetic injustice.

This isn’t supposed to be a poem

This is supposed to be an open letter to your heart

That fax that should have reached you an hour ago

But my signal is still on dial-up tried upgrading to edge

But the fear of you knowing rolled back the implementation.

Heard that you would be moving on, wait are you on LTE or something?

Ok, that’s beside the point, let me get on my SONA

Yes it seems I am drawing this out

Trying to paint a picture of serene pleasures

Uncomplicated offside dreams like Joseph been interpreting with Bompi

And I’m referring my friends to compatriots, we have done well!

I mean look how far we have come, me and you

I’m done playing compassion on these streets

Unless if you feel a passionate night

Filled with sublime eruptions of epic implosions

Of lost neutrons meeting up with electrons in your left thigh

Moving to the tingle on your right thigh would be right, shout out to Jones…

Wait, that’s border line street poetry this is becoming too hard

This is supposed to be a letter!

Oh wait, it seems I forgot paragraphs and commas

Oh well, this is not my mother tongue, grammar for what?

Oh well, lets’ go back to my dream, me and you

Yes, I said me and you….

Please forget the kush I’m on, just hush, lets push this convo,

Wait let me slow it down a bit….

Do you remember when I told you we can’t be

And the look you gave me like hawu!,

Drake was playing in the background

A young tear came down your eye

A young kiss came your way, I’m sorry

Let’s leave that in the past and resolve this thing.

I’mma speed it up for a sec…

Try to forgive me for being a drunk

I’ve got no control over my heart

You got a piece of me, keep it

Expose my weakness, sink me to my knees, I’m yours

Like I said a second…..

Wait this is supposed to be a letter

Flabbergasted by my complete disregard for the nature of things

Let me do things right…..

  Dear Love

I'm still a bit lost trying not to think about us, don't even know how to end this line....

Neo Kalaote

[skyeneo]

Koi in the pond, you still own that even though you are so far off, shadows in the waters, flashing lights of lightning bolts as you look introspectively at how the rest of us see you, I knew I should have left it at hello but my words reached the waters that lay deep and your spirit was awakened, koi in the pond gasping for air, I'll find you someday but not today.....
