Be like the rain
unafraid to fall
Be like the sun
shining light upon all
Be like the wind
helping others take flight
Be the brave new dawn
after the dark stormy night
Be...
Be all you ought to be
Cos in your 'being' others may become.
JUST BE!

Just when I thought I'd found Love again, she spoke baaaaaaaaaad English! 😑🤦🏾♂️
I know love enough to recognise her anywhere.
I mean love dresses fine and with a queenly smile;
Soft spoken and with a character that shows virtue and grace!
Love calls my name
It is pure bliss in my brain,
and takes it to new terrains.
Love makes me dream!
But reality did it's scheme,
HER ACCENT BITES
Thinking-love's a language I'm yet to understand fully,
(A chaotic arrangement where hearts can spark or burn or be turned off forcefully!).
Though her English may be rough,
She shines so bright.
Perhaps love's not in a language
But a knowledge,
Pure, light, and sure!
I saw love and I knew her!
But she spoke bad English.
😒🤦🏾♂️

Love that hurts;
Love that 'guards the girdle'
Leaving you hanging in the middle
Love that makes the heart pound
Like horses racing in their thousands
Love that hurts
Love jinxes your imaginations with odd expectations
Love that tweaks your senses
Blinding you from seeing the wrongs even with lenses,
Love that hurts
"Love that tests your essence to the core
(Can't lose But can't have!)
Leaving you wandering in search of something more"
Love that hurts

If you can be the friend you 'need'
If you can agree to disagree
If you can choose love and peace over being 'right'
If a pal's apology doesn't inflate your pride
If you can listen more than you speak
If you can give without expecting a seek
If you can forgive and let go of the past
If you can be present and make love last
If you can see the good in others' ways
If you can embrace each new day
If you can find the lesson in every fall
If you can stand up and give your all
If you can hold space for another's pain
If you can offer kindness like harmattan rain
If you can be gentle with a friend's heart
If you can play your part
If you can laugh together, cry together too
If you can build each other up, see each other through
If you can create memories that never fade
If you can be a safe and loving shade
If you can grow, adapt, and evolve with grace
If you can find the beauty in a changing pace
If you can trust the journey, come what may
If you can cherish friendship every step of the way
Then, you're a GOOD MAN!
YOU'RE BLESSED!!
YOU'RE A BLESSING!!!

I don’t care if I was right or wrong;
The weight of malice is too heavy,
I cannot carry it.
One thing I want to do is to let go of my pride!
I don’t want to justify myself or my actions;
I don’t want to be innocent either.
I hate grudges!
I want to let go of my pride!
You said something that came at me like a raging storm!
“You don’t know me”
Yet you’ve BEEN with me (contradictory).
I want to play dump!
But I clearly understand what you mean!
And this isn’t a please come back move!
It’s more than that;
I hope you’d see my heart;
It is an earnest CRY and a plea for somebody to heal!
I thought I had all it takes to build a titanic relationship;
That will sail with beauty, and class…, and survive the heaviest of storms,
And will not sink!
But NO!
Like titanic, it sank!
It was hard, but I bore it.
My regret isn’t what I’d stood to gain(from you)
A million miles far from it;
It is the pain that despite the effort,
The stunts against the odds…
The LOVE ended in pain, malice, and vain!
In your heart of heart,
I beg that you clear this dart.
Please don’t let hate between;
I neither want to win nor you, to lose!
I just can’t keep going with this.
I was not a saint; you are not a sinner!
I am not a snitch nor a hypocrite, you are not perfect!
I am not pretending and you are YOU!
I am not complete neither are you!
But I’ve tried to make for myself a NAME.
I see my wrongs; they take me to my knees!
Integrity means a lot to me
Losing it is being LAME in purpose and life!
I have tried to put my heart into this piece for peace!
I really hope you don’t get ******
These words are not enough,
They’ve not really explained it;
I hope that you realize,
I AM SORRY!

Falling slowly,
Through eyes that know me
I can't go back
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And events that never
Amount to more than they're meant will always play themselves out
I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Take this sinking boat
and point it home
We've still got time
We would create beautiful memories
Even through sad ones
If we hold hands
Raise your hopeful voice
And make a choice
I know you will...

A little spark
A little fluke
A little tingling sensation,
Behold an avalanche of emotions
So love makes you cry, my friend.
Precious moments go out of touch,
Highly treasured, but
Now trapped in thoughts
(as memories)...
Then, love makes you cry, my friend
If love makes you cry, my friend.
It's cos Love lives on desire
as much as patience
You should consider yourself lucky;
Lucky to love,
bold enough to share,
Strong enough to hold...
But again, if love makes you cry my friend,
Fix it or
LEAVE HONORABLY.

Dear love, sleep!
Wake up when;
You're reasoned through the right mind,
From the right heart,
For the right soul...
Until then,
Sleep well, Love!

A smile is such a lovely thing especially upon your face;
Behind it a glimpse of grimace
none can trace
hiding all the sorrows or simply taking their place.
A kindly spoken word means so much when it's from you,
Sending comfort when the heart is blue
Your touch can make a heart dance in pretty fast-paced clips
when I hear the melody in your voice I'm wowed by it's unconquerable grips.
A smile, a word, a song, a touch – seem small little things
Your ecstatic vibe I'm grateful to always find;
Lock your hands in mine
and peace will fill my mind...

I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a newborn: with awe and delicacy, with softness and protection, with the promise to nurture
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a pearl found on a sunny ocean shore, with respect for its strength, with wonder for its resilience, with value for its journey to the shore
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as one would a diamond, with humility for its beauty, with amazement at its density, with meekness for its potential to withstand harshness
I hold our love in the palm of my hand as I would my own, accepting its fragility, acknowledging its power, respecting its potency and most of all, understanding its need to be cherished
I may not be the strongest, bravest, most knowledgeable, wisest of all men but
I recognize that love is a gift to be appreciated, and in so doing, it may have the chance to grow and flourish:
Love is strong when it grows, lasting when it flourishes!
