Somebody almost walked off with all of my stuff

Somebody almost walked off with all of my stuff.
And didn't care enough to send a note home saying,
'I was late for my solo conversation or two sizes too small for my own tacky skirts.'

What can anybody do with something of no value on an open market?
Did you get a dime for my things?
“Hey man, where are you going with all of my stuff?
This is a woman's trip and I need my stuff to oooh and aaaah about.”

Honest to God, somebody almost ran off with all of my stuff.
And I didn't bring anything except the kick and sway of it.
The perfect ass for my man and none of it is theirs.
“This is mine, Zoe's own things- that's my name.
Now give me my stuff!”

I see you hiding my laugh and how I sit with my legs opened sometimes to give my crotch some sunlight.
This is some delicate leg and whimsical kiss,
I've got to have to give you my choice, so you can't have me unless I give me away.
And I was doing all that till you ran off on a good thing.
And who is this you left me with?
Some simple bitch with a bad attitude
“I want my things!”

I want my arm with a hot iron scar
I want my leg, with a flee bite
Yeah, I want my things
I want my calloused feet and quick language back in my mouth.
I want my own things, how I love them

Somebody almost ran with all of my stuff
And I was standing there looking at myself the whole time.
It wasn't a spirit that ran off with my stuff.
It was a man whose ego walked around like road ants shadow
It was a man faster than my innocence
It was a lover, I made too much room for
Almost ran off with all of my stuff

And the one running with it- don't know he's got it.
I'm shouting 'this is mine' and he doesn't even know he's got it.
My stuff is the anonymous-ripped off treasure of the year.
Did you know somebody almost got away with me?
Me?
In a plastic bag under his arm! Me! Zoe Maphala.

-it took me 6months to let 5years go. Im doing well.

Im both in and out

Have you ever been in a rut?

Been in a spot that makes you both and equally laugh and cry? A place where you love and hate the circumstance? A place that leaves you in the dark yet you have access to light? It didn’t help that the gentleman I was with gave me butterflies that fluttered in my stomach to last me a life time.
Well that is definitely where I have been in some days of my life. I was in a place where I am joyous and sad- at the same time. A place where I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to or not. It got so bad that even though on the outside I was cool as a cucumber, my ulcers showed me flames- literally. They exposed the war between my heart and my mind. Even in the exhibition of turmaoil, the lines in between weren’t read.

Let’s just say I took all my power and gave it to my heart and said, “Where you lead I will follow” and that’s exactly what I did... or did I?

Her 3D

Let me tell you something about her
There is nobody else around like her
Every time you spend some time with her
You won’t be thinking about no other her

Everything you need and want is her
She reminds you of exactly why you with her
Problems are so minimal with her
I think you in love with her

Because nothing in this world will ever make you feel like you do
You with her and everything is so real
And you don’t care who has got anything to say
About what you do when you with her
Because that don’t matter because that’s YOUR GIRL

There is nobody who understand like her
You just have to be that man for her
See because you’ll be trying to share your life with her
And be the one who does those special things for her

You can take a long walk with her
Watch TV or just sit and talk with her
See you will want to make good love to her
Because YOU WILL JUST KNOW that "she MUST be my ‘SOUL SISTAH’"

My sleep thieve of a poem

Life needn't be more complicated than it is.
We don’t need more drama than we have...
Coz Personally I am being disturbed by this mosquito
While trying to think about you, So u are my last thought before I fall asleep.

Can we be each other's haven?
Can you just love me the way only you know how?
I will be fine with that, knowing it’s genuine and free-flowing, that will be fulfilling.

Can you be nobody else, but you?
Can you not expect me to be wearing masks?
Can I prove and make you trust me more?
Can I kill all your fears?
Yes physically murder each and every one?
So our burdens collectively become light!

Can we hold hands and dance in the midst of it all?
Can I just love you without reservations?
Can I teach you how to trust me?
Can you teach me how to love you?

Can we not break each other?
Rather, can I be the reason you made it into heaven?
