Overwhelming – Uncapturable.
https://lnairpoetry.wordpress.com/2016/12/26/overwhelming
To the one who makes me feel like I am too much. Baby do you ever look at the stars and think that it’s too much? On cloudy nights is it not you who yearns to see atleast one star? On clear nights is it not you who watches the stars so much, I can see them twinkle in your eyes. What makes you think I’m anything less than a galaxy and I’m not made up of constellations? Do you ever look at the ocean and think that there’s too much water? But I became a flood- people like me aren’t meant to be small. Februa...

February 2016 – Uncapturable.
https://lnairpoetry.wordpress.com/2016/02
Dear soul mate, I have never met you. But I have loved you since I was 18. I apologise in advance, sometimes I am paranoid-. And it will make me question everything, even your existence. I know my pages are scattered. Throughout my attempts to love another- please read me anyway. On some days I will treat you like you are the reason for my messed up childhood. When I let you go do not think I don’t love you- I am saving you. Call me at 1 am even if you’re laying beside me. Challenge me, I crave growth.

She came into my room. Anger protruding from her eyes. Threw up her beauty on my floor. Pity it didn’t even fill up the space in my room. As you spoke your hurtful words. That leaped in the distance in between. Like claws, they scraped through my chest. And stole my voice. With her monotonous screeching. About the pain she’s in, never once admitting to the pain she caused. She shouted her empty apologies. That hit my ceiling like unanswered prayers. Shattered, and fell on my mind. August 27, 2015. You ar...

Rea leboha (We thank you) – Uncapturable.
https://lnairpoetry.wordpress.com/2016/07/25/rea-leboha-we-thank-you
Rea leboha (We thank you). Rea leboha. We Thank You. Because you didn’t just love me,. You loved my demons and all the skeletons of people I used to be. Rea leboha. On dark days,. The phone felt like the sun against my face. And your voice would fill me with light-. So if I couldn’t see around me, at least I could see within me. Rea leboha. You listened to my dreams and dreamt with me. You taught me how plant seeds of hope in my garden of pain. I learnt that pain is the most fertile soil for growth.

Skin – Uncapturable.
https://lnairpoetry.wordpress.com/2016/10/03/skin
My melanin is a weapon. I will never be unarmed. The colour of my skin is the “crime” I committ everyday. The colour of my skin is what I’m punished for everyday. My skin carries negative stereotypes. My skin carries intentions to kill, murder and steal. My skin is the greatest rebellion my body carries. My skin carries weapons only they see. They exploit our gold, our oil, and most importantly- our skin. The foundation of all their wealth is made from our skin. To be black and Brown. Our lives are like ...

Hurt. – Uncapturable.
https://lnairpoetry.wordpress.com/2015/08/26/hurt
I do not think you’re beautiful anymore. In fact I hope that when you see this. My words jump out from this page. Why did you write me a poem and leave me? I hope that when you see this. My words come alive. And rip you apart. How dare you talk about woman empowerment? Yet you refuse to acknowledge my femininity. Is it because I love woman and suddenly that makes me a man? You’re disrespectful; I hope that when you see this. The words transform into an AK47. And shoot you in the spine. August 26, 2015.
