Cocaine and ChampagneDamian Semwayo I seek a safe refuge within my mental.Free of rental, a haven, nonjudgmental.Blue and red lights illuminate,In the club’s nighttime.A glass of champagne and a snotty nose.Perhaps that will do.Comforting the best and soul to ease.To feel liberated in my being and roam as I please.Condemn me. I am not ashamed.Continue reading “Cocaine and Champagne”

I lost you to the world
Why do you display such a fierce demeanor?Attempting to be something you’re not.I’m not claiming to be what I’m not.Perhaps I am authentic, sincere.But are you? Can you prove your credibility?Have we met before, in time long gone?Now, after two months, I am perplexed,Uncertain of the path on which you tread.Please enlighten me,Why do youContinue reading “I lost you to the world”

Hello there, Family. I would like to take this opportunity to announce my second anthology, coming out later this year. Blueprints of the Soul.Each word is carefully chosen, carrying the weight of lived experiences, introspection, and a profound connection to the world.

Self-determination’s Fruits
Self-determination’s Fruits Damian Semwayo Grew up contemplative.Finding solace in silence, a path to explore,The depths of my being, seeking love’s embrace,That was elusive, but yearned for more. Grew up guarded.For no one seemed to care, to truly see,The love within, waiting to be shared.Now, I teach love, fostering unity,Embracing the night, for tomorrow’s not declared.Continue reading “Self-determination’s Fruits”
