Ghost of Love


I watched you burn it to ashes

I patched my burns with a tourniquet.

The blood on your hands washes

All the guests on our banquet.

The love you murdered rises,

Its a ghost out for surprises.

Hate is the ghost of love,

Pain is the cost of love,

Death is the cost of life.

I watched you burn me to ashes.

I died screaming your name.

I cried calling your name.

I tried kneeling but I wasn't the same.

Hate is now my name, 

And Vengeance is my game.

Ever since I learnt how to write I never stopped writing short stories, poems and ideas. I am from Africa living in South Africa, Joburg. I am a business man with a love for music and writing. Its lovely how a poem can be turned into a song. Rhythm and Words are my closest friends. I respect The Sound of Life and the power in following your Heart which makes Music till the day you die.
