Michael Knight Poems

I’m In the Cresta Lodge Botswana
It was 10h00 at night – sudden need for ice cold coke
Down to the bar – Coke and Ice Please
Not a good idea feeling like I’m gonna have difficulty falling asleep again tonight, but the coke I need despite the intended sleeping fight
...

Like life is not hard enough without you having to make it harder
Your timing sucks
I could not take of work and get better as it’s month-end once again
I took pills when I got home – as I was feeling like death
...

Vandag voel ek beter, maar die vraag in my kop bly steeds vashaak
Waaroor gaan alles, werk toe huistoe, werk toe huistoe
Naweek, langnaweek, werk toe huistoe
Miskien het hierdie week nuwe uitdagings?
...

I’m on holiday – Time to play
Cannot believe it’s time
To relax and unwind
Never thought this amount of free time I will find
...

This weekend I got on my bike
All conditions were in my favor
This moment I had to savor
I knew I would like
...

As I grew I heard a lot about Marilese
I was informed that this was my Niece
Incredibly smart I was informed – this Niece of Mine
...

It’s with great excitement that we are approaching Christmas time
Time for Carols rhyme and also some wine
Time for friends, family and lots of cheer
I hope everyone away on holiday will return safe
...

Another day another dollar
We go to work every day
Not in this do we have a say
I say – why bother?
...

I want to write about something
I need to write about something
my mind is blank but I know within there is something
Something or nothing? - It's a blank
...

The Best Poem Of Michael Knight

Insomniac’s Tale And Pink Milkshake

I’m In the Cresta Lodge Botswana
It was 10h00 at night – sudden need for ice cold coke
Down to the bar – Coke and Ice Please
Not a good idea feeling like I’m gonna have difficulty falling asleep again tonight, but the coke I need despite the intended sleeping fight

I finish the coke‘t was Ice cold and refreshing
Get into bed to sleep – but the coke energy now is keeping sleep a testing
After 11h00 I am still awake
Suddenly I need something else – pink milkshake – it shouldn’t keep me awake

Where do these cravings stem?
Like a pregnant womans woe’s
For future reference
I will not argue such a womans preference

Get in my car at 11h30 to nearest convenience store (Shell garage)
They don’t sell pink milkshake – I settle for a small coke again
Let’s find another garage – closed – also don’t sell milkshake – what a pain
I know this won’t keep me awake – I don’t like another shake

Back to the hotel now
I read a book– A New Earth – is this my ego or the “I” in me
Do I need this for ego fulfillment or does my body really need this nourishment
Maybe if I continue reading I’ll get the answer
Although I really would like to sleep now

It’s late
I need to be fresh in the morning
I have students hanging on every word I utter
My words to them usually dont'melt like butter

My butter will be very hard and cold if I am not at my best
The faith they have in me will not stand the test
I need to sleep now – try my best
If I try too hard I know I won’t rest

Hopefully by telling my Insomniac tale
My mind won’t wait too long
To sing it’s sleeping song
And Hopefully I’ll be dreaming about drinking my pink milkshake
Satisfying this unfulfilled need while dreaming
