Savage Love Poetry

I have an unyielding spirit. I do not sway, I do not bend. No master commands me, no rule defines me. I slither, I slide—a chameleon, Shapeshifting, transforming, Embracing the ecstasy of becoming. I have known tremendous pain— Crushed beneath the weight of expectation, Bruised by hands that sought to control, Ravaged by trials too many to name. But I climbed. Oh, I climbed. Through anguish, I forged power, Through scars, I shaped resilience. I stand unbroken, Yet fluid, agile—a mythical being Tapped into the unknown. Forever shifting, forever growing, Reborn with each sunrise, Untamed by any final form. Death may fear me, As I fear it, Yet we dance, circling in endless challenge. Wealth—I have conjured from dust, Pulled from the barricades With hands both honest and fierce. I’ve secured my place, my throne, my truth. I do not turn back. I do not look back. The climb is all I know. Through anguish, I ascend. Through suffering, I become whole. I break free from the cycles That seek to ...

Do you promise to hold me close, To steady my trembling soul, For loyalty in kin is rare— A fleeting ember, a fractured whole? Will you latch as I latch, Hold as I hold, Give and take as I would— A bond unbroken, bold? Will you cradle my glittering mind, A shattered glass, Prickled and wild, Rumbling to stars that pass? Do you see the cosmos in me— The beauty, the scars, A shadow, a mystery, Guided by the universe, Protected yet far? Or am I stone, rock, Dust without weight, No hand will take— Meant to live on the surface, Never letting someone drown within my depths. The mind I grow, To see the world anew, Opening eyes to beauty unseen, Simplifying the chaos, Infusing life with magic and ease. For men aren’t unaccustomed to the warmth of care, Like rivers never taught the taste of rain— I become the flood, A soothing tide that quenches, Pampering not only with wealth or vanity, But with a softness that rebuilds, A touch that rewrites their world In hues of wonder and ease. For I am al...

I saw the God in Him, He saw the universe in me But I still carry a bit of baggage. There’s still a bit of baggage. I’ve never felt anchored to this world, A passenger, drifting, unseen, unfurled. Moving through shadows, no destination, A soul afloat, lost in isolation. But with him, I found solid ground, A rare peace in chaos, profound. The world stilled, the void erased, In his presence, I felt embraced. And when he left, the silence screamed, The emptiness swallowed all I dreamed. Longing, grief, and aching desire, A heart once warm turned cold as fire. Now void of love, a hollowed frame, I roam the earth, yet not the same. The world spins on, but I remain, A passenger, lost, bound to this pain. I stood on the other side, a shadowed man, Ravaged by life, scarred by its hand. I asked of you, a question so bold, How do you promise, when hearts grow cold? If I let my guard fall, my fortress unwind, And offer a spark from this flame of mine, How do I know you won’t leave me bare, Exting...

 Give Me Love It is not something I long for I tell this to myself every night This mantra and vow, I have kept Resolute and unwavering, I would hold out I live and breathe as the rest without it And so, I do not need it.   Yes, my nights are lonely and sometimes sad I dive into fantasy and drown out my thoughts in fiction I live out hours and even years in the shoes of my favourite characters I bring them to life in my mind and bask in the love they feel for each other Even if for a moment, to me, It is real. If fantasy and fiction can give it to me That is enough. In reality, I do not need it.   And yet the feeling of warmth, comfort, and belonging that I desire persists It gnaws at me just before I sleep It runs rampant in my mind and rampages through my heart I feel the absence of the very thing I wish to deny It is a void, deep and immeasurable. It does not look back It establishes its presence and dominance even as I am with...

I’ve been hankering, I’ve been lacking  I’ve been trying to mask needing you  With every puff, every sip, every body I’ve been trying not to carry the weight of the world It only awakened me to deeper truths  Seeing it all and never doing anything  Endeavoring to shed light, trying constantly. We knew the world, we understood it. I wanted to build a fortress for us I wanted to build my life around you. But that obstacle tore us apart  I fell in your absence I fell into the universe and lost myself in spirituality The more I tried to run away from my destiny  The more I tried to fight being in the present  It only awakened me to deeper truths My higher self, my soul spoke to me. It revealed many but one, one was constant that I need you, that I needed my anchor  I’ve been through so much pain  With life turbulences and storms  These growing pains, these aches  They made me fight my true nature  Not to deny any aspects of me...

 Keep the illusion up, let them see purpose. I know you're just there existing. As long as you're breathing, keep that heart beating It don't matter if the muscles on your face won't stretch right It don't matter that your smile is not the same anymore Keep at it, don't give up. Struggle a bit longer You're not dead yet. They see you breathing. They can feel your heart beat. Cold as it is. They can feel your heat, you're not dead. Keep at it just a little bit longer Maybe there's a silver lining just around the corner In this round existence, there's a silver lining just around the corner. Even if you're just surving now, that's all that matters. They are all that matter so live. Live for them, if not for yourself. Love for them, if not for yourself. Do it all for them Maybe you'll find your own in the midst of it all.

 Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got anywhere to be, slow down. You know there isn't anyone waiting on you, You'll be dancing by yourself anyway, like always. But atleast you won't have to pretend anymore, You can finally let go and lose yourself. The four hours of sleep you'll get are enough to collect the pieces. Just enough to keep a smile on your face. The dark circles are almost invisible when you smile, Who cares if it won't reach your eyes, no one really notices anyway. So take the long way home, keep reality at bay. Just a little longer, fool the world a little longer, Lose yourself in the lie just a bit longer. No harm done. Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got nowhere to be, you might as well get lost.

 There's little to no words to describe you. To describe the strength you carry without boasting , To describe the power you possess without pride. Always with humbling humility you serve without asking. You are the embodiment of phenomenal and grace. Your selflessness is without bounds, it sometimes drives me mad, And yet it is your most beautiful quality and it humbles me still. The smile you wear on your face through tribulation and truimph is flawless, True in every essence of the word and it shines through without fault. The grandness of your heart fills me with tears of joyful pride, It holds so much love, care, kindness and genuine affection, It's a wonder you aren't glowing. All these words I've written will never be enough to express my truest emotions Because there's little to no words to describe you. You are mother, precious and beautiful. I love you wholeheartedly and without doubt.

Truth is you're always on my mind. I haven't gotten over you, not even close. I still stretch out my arm reaching for you at night. I wake up with the taste of your name on my lips. At the most random times I feel the ghost of your touch on my hips. I smile and turn my head, but you aren't there anymore, You're just a memory, a dream turned into a nightmare A neverending nightmare filled with laughter and joy. You haunt me with your absence and taunt me with your presence. So close, yet ever so far out of reach. My reach. Seeing you happy tears me apart and brings me joy, It's all I ever wanted for you, but with me. Only with me. I still wonder where it all came apart, when did I lose you? I don't remember looking at you and not drowning in love, I thought you'd always be there to keep me afloat and weather this sea of love. But now you're no longer mine, you're the wind to his sails. You glide through these torturous waters and I dro...

I am one of those ever smiling people, never sad and never angry. I float and drift through the sun's hours with happiness on my face. I wave, laugh and tell a dozen jokes to blind witnesses who see but don't really see. I move from crowd to crowd, wondering and searching for one who'll actually look. But no one seems to notice, no one seems to care So only these hands of mine can explain the tears I shed. When the sun recedes to rest and prepare for the morrow. I too rest my smile and brick by brick tear down my walls. I put away the memories I carry to stretch my face and hide my pain. I shelve away what strength I have and hope it'll be enough to carry me still. I look in the mirror and the nile flows in graceful streams down my face. The dull eyes staring back are that of a well known stranger. And the hands reaching up to offer comfort are stranger still. The sobs that wreak through my battered body go unseen. The violent trembling barely hidden und...

Would you stay with me even if... Even if we weren't even, I mean Would you love me even when I no longer say it? When my fears consume me and I run When I lose myself to insecurities not cured When my will falters and I seek escape Could you really handle my inconsistency Coz I won't lie to you, I'm an emotional pendulum Never the same long enough to enjoy I'll twist your thoughts and turn your heart I'll test your patience to the extreme, and then some I'll beg to be the center of your universe To be the sun to your solar system and yet I'll treat you like Pluto, unsure of what you are Yet refusing to let you leave my orbit. I can be selfless, selflessly selfish I'll love you like no other and show you the rarest wonders I'll win you, mind, body and soul I'll bury them up so deep down, you'd drown before you reach them I'll embed myself so deeply into you, I'll echo always Even in my absence I'll echo, ever...

Poetry is an intimate conversation with a stranger. It is stretching out your hand, into the darkness and not knowing how many people will grabe hold. Disclaimer: property of Fanelesibonge Nicholus Sibisi, Do not duplicate in any form without consent from the author

It's all right little boy, It's alright fragile heart The pain will go away at some point Give it time, it has healing powers. But it's not strong enough, not even close The pain is only gettin worse, festering and growing It's almost all I know anymore The smiles and laughs are harder to pronounce now This deep craving for attention is all consuning Yet I'm always alone, even surrounded I'm alone It's all just a bit much for me You aren't there to hold me up You aren't here to brush my tears away You aren't here to say it's all right You have my heart and I have your absence

Look at me, I am flawed. I don't have perfect rows of pearly white teeth They're stained a bit yellow even thou I brush every day. My body isn't all too great either I don't have a six pack and my chest is flat, I let it be. My voice sure as hell isn't going to make you swoon It's raspy and out of tune and my singing might kill you. What I am saying is, I am not perfect but love me anyway. My mind is rather dirty, it sees and imagines a lot I can't control it but I promise I am very loyal. My heart is riddled with fear, pain, and suffering Yet I'm still willing to love and trust, I'm actually very eager So please don't take my senile narcism as reject. I'm projecting. I can't really promise you that we'll last forever I can only love you and hope that will be enough for you to stay What I am saying is I'm not the greatest boyfriend but please love me anyway. I am very insecure, needy and clingy I can't help ...

There’s a lot of shame in the community And It almost killed me to have his lecherous body drain me of blood As though I shouldn’t be in the water. Not Everybody wants swim in my community Or walk across the lake unafraid There are shakes in the water, you'd think Why must we give them so much power Why must you live like a shadow Hiding from yourself Selling yourself short of love Don't let it consume you So holding my hand is criminal to the biblical eye Stepping out of my dorm-room is a travesty Loving me and owning it is a life sentence of shame Why must you give them so much power over your soul. it's crippled  from all the time it has had to break and bend to please the morally supreme The self proclaimed righteous Who over looks himself. Why must we walk as slaves without chains Carry the cross that hinders our happiness Why must we be so shameful to walk, talk and live in our truth Why must our sublime not be seen...

A mistake I made Its amazing how much power there is in just a moment I betrayed my body, mind and soul And I crumbled, suffocated for days My spirit asked to be laid to rest My entire being shook and held me accountable It was a temporary moment of insanity that almost killed me A trigger that I pulled I’ve been healing from being both the perpetrator and victim My mind is in a complete flux Everything collapsing in and out Like building blocks crumbling, folding Damaging and grinding while simultaneously Healing itself I've Shut down in construction of a protective shield Trying to keep me together and alive. My mind and body shall be held captive and protected Banished from the self-serving need of feeding itself skin against skin it was a temporary moment of insanity that almost killed me And i'm sorry lump... collectively Disclaimer: property of Fanelesibonge Nicholus Sibisi, Do not duplicate in any form without consent from th...

I feel morbid I can't define it, it's like this thing A rake of sorts just clawing at my core Scratching and scratching, pulling away from the sanity It won't stop, it can't stop. I don't know what it wants but I know to keep away I struggle against its demands of submission and surrender So I fight but every day feels like death mauls me I'm scared, broken and damaged by all this emotion I feel dead yet I breathe and smile Going unnoticed still and I silently yell for help It feels like my heart is crawling on the jagged ground Bloodying it ever so diligently so as to leave a trail So that they will see so that they'll understand When I'm all but gone and none of me remains When the Grimm reaper has collected his fair They'll understand I couldn't stop myself The rake reached my core and snuffed it like candlelight I couldn't keep away, I submitted And with the submission so went my life

Your a butterfly and you can't be hanging around caterpillars. Do not web your wings or ceil them in candle wax to walk upon what has been shattered life is about growth, So ignite your wings and fly unafraid We come and go into people's lives to fulfill destinies, whether it is to uplift each other, heal one another or find growth, but We are not bond to anyone, we are not chained We are not obliged to suffocate at expense Nor does the issuer owes the holder. And the door doesn't have to be closed off because we now fly, because we've evolved and it should never mean that the love wasn't real When we walked side by side, feet on the ground before we found our wings and claimed the sky's the currents that swept  us off our feet. Hear me, we are gifts and the greatest gifts I pray you find true love, the love of your life. I hope we find the shape of us all.

I know I'm not perfect, I'm not trying to be. I am heavily flawed and broken Serving as a vessel to bear and hold. Hold all of the good and the bad. I know I'm no saint, neither are you. Nor are you perfect or complete or whole You too are an empty vessel. We both recklessly wonder towards the light Stepping on broken glass and rose thorns, We lose ourselves in the pain of it all But we always wonder back. Maybe our paths will cross somehow Until then we'll both remain imperfect and empty We'll remain imperfect and empty. Until fate grants us her grace And we meet by chance alone Maybe then our respective flaws will fill each other And we'll wander aimlessly as one.

I may have no rhyme But I've got rhythm to spare And it keeps my soul sublime It makes want to clap my hands with flare So when you see me sway my hips And ever so gallantly tap my feet Whilst taking passionate cognac sips Listening to Bruno's greatest hit That's just my Tenacious Bond with music. It keeps me up at night Dares my soul to lay itself bare Uncovering my deepest blight Seducing my volatile eyes With its forever brilliant glare I allow it to swallow me whole And spit me out ravaged and raw Ready to heal and try again That's my connection with my music It brightens my darkest days Painting pictures of orange skies Illuminating the beautiful green of life Drawing rare memories of independent happiness Momentarily erasing all that's sad and blue And for that one moment, all is well Life is full of wonders and joy Music is my sanctuary By: Ayabonga Xulu This is subject to copyright and is not to be shared or duplicated  in any ...
