Refiloe’s Sunflowers
#31 | 31 Poems for August 2017 There’s something exquisite about your smile, your brown eyes have got me hypnotised, and your heart is a gold mine.

Too Many Days Since January
#30 | 31 Poems for August 2017 I need coffee and poetry and music by Solange, Emeli Sandé and Floetry. I need love and freedom, I need to know that God is in my life even when there’s pain in my eyes. Our love and chemistry was beautifully overwhelming but I never wanted you to… Continue reading

Summer Clouds
#28 | 31 Poems for August 2017 My sneakers’ shoelaces are as tangled up as the words I tried to say to you. The words I tried to say when you were slowly slipping away from my grasp. I surprisingly stuttered when I tried to tempestuously tell you how I felt. Now I’m wondering what… Continue reading

Exquisite Vision
#27 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Her eyes are the same colour as her brown skin; you should see the world through her pupils.

Blunt Memories
#26 | 31 Poems for August 2017 These pictures sharpen the edges of blunt memories. All I ever wanted was for you to feel my words like Braille. But somehow you were blinded by the sight of someone else’s love. All I ever wanted was to be the poem written on the pages of your… Continue reading

Chasing Dreams
#25 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Take me back to the day when the girl I was crushing on crushed my feelings.

Prescriptions changed… Continue reading

Strangers with Memories
#24 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Nothing lasts forever, and that we both knew. Now we’ve become strangers with memories. We were bound together by our mutual gravity.

Lonely Thoughts
#23 | 31 Poems for August 2017 I thought that I’d find closure after writing poetry about you. But every time I finish writing, I find new ways of missing you. I’ll try calling you or you could hit me up on Facebook or Twitter. I cannot stand these people when they are all cold… Continue reading

Some Nights
#22 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Some nights are the hardest but this bottle of wine flows better than my favourite rapper.

Some nights it feels like my days are numbered like… Continue reading

Hours Spent Loving You
#21 | 31 Poems for August 2017 We have both grown up and in that process, we grew apart. You weren’t emotionally prepared when I said that I love you.

Leave Me Lonely
#20 | 31 Poems for August 2017 You are what I never thought you were and became what I never thought you’d be. You’ve cheated on every test that love gave you but somehow, I forgave you. I stopped trying to mend a broken person the day I realised that I was one. My hands… Continue reading

Love Is
#18 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Love is not a mystery; it’s every beautiful thing that I ever wanted it to be. Love is the colour of you, love is beautiful with all its flaws and complexities. I’ve been enslaved by my own emotions and you were always there to liberate me and provide… Continue reading

August Reminiscing

Wednesday Morning
#16 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Have you ever met someone whose smile could make sunflowers grow? She has an affinity for hip-hop music and any good pair of clean sneakers.

Hammanskraal Hues
#15 | 31 Poems for August 2017 Listen, if I’m willing to talk to you, will you listen like you always do? It has been quite hard for me to acknowledge the fact that we’re through.

Whole Again
#14 | 31 Poems for August 2017 All you can hope for is someone who will pray with you, someone who will pray for you. I’ve got you covered like warm blankets during cold winter nights.
