Greetings!
I trust that my excitement will put a smile on your face.
I am fortunate to have been granted funding by the National Arts Council of Namibia (NACN) to publish my long awaited poetry anthology called The Scars On My Skin. For the past few years I have been working on the idea to publish a couple of my poems into a single volume. THis will be realised early next year when I will launch the publication.

Escapee
Greetings
Has been a while
Gone into a space
I call emptiness, isolation
Hiding from the poetic blues
Playing silly with thought
and acting dump to ideas.
Got myself in trouble
Now back, here again
Has been a while
Gone into a space

Hiding from the poetic blues
Playing silly with thought
and acting dump to ideas.
Got myself in trouble
Now back, here again

Look Around and Don't Just Be
Look at all
these smiles
Brimming
with excitement
As we hide
our monsters
Inside the
wrinkled laughter
Giggles that
shake our inside
And veil
the ill
We harbor underneath
The warmth
we mirror
Deflect
from those of them
Who don’t
know the hurt
We sadden
the loved ones with
In the
secrecy of our anger
Look at the
attained balance
We acquired
through injustices
Up for
grabs by those of us
Who have
long used influence,
Means to
get more means
What we
believed was due
To our
forefathers and mothers
Ancestors
we have undressed
And exposed
to our greed
Our passion
for earthly possession
Time bound
powers of inequality
Designed to
our pleasures,
Look at all
the pain
Spread
throughout the nation
Decorated
on the scarred faces
Sunk
personalities of lives
That once
upon a time blossomed
Glowed with
happiness and life
Now
withdrawn and tattered
Shook like
dead tree trunks
Harvested
and used for fire wood
To warm the
cold in our persons,
Restore the
blushes on our faces
As they
turn into dust, dust, dust!

2013
Last year was
Filled with poetry
Painted with verses
And tight down to pages
This year is
Light and in flight
To pastures greener
stages, mics and audiences
Filled with poetry
Painted with verses
And tight down to pages
This year is
Light and in flight
To pastures greener
stages, mics and audiences
Last Year
Last year is lost in memories
And this year is here, ready
Ready to take off in speed
This year, I am ridding
On the back of success
As it flies towards happiness
And this year is here, ready
Ready to take off in speed
This year, I am ridding
On the back of success
As it flies towards happiness
