Nothing compares to the joy and happiness of a kid
The carefree simple life of a young one
Always comforting, always beautiful

A child remembers no wrong
Keeps no record of anger  and hate
A child is always happy

Mother disciplined him with a cane in the morning
He cried all his lungs out, so powerfully
Mid morning comes , he goes for the embrace , for the milk

If you want to know happiness
Strike a game with a young one , play all the way
You will laugh your heart out, you will live with the joy

You want to live a whole life?
Then live like a young one, with love and kindness
No regrets shall come your way, you will have lived a full life

Love and life

Red - neon lights, candle lights maybe
An extended private lounge
Somewhere quiet and serene
An extension at the back, slight view of the stars
Low romantic sound beats, playing back to back

Not so much to consume
A bottle of wine , two long glasses
A light meal , something to taste
Some rose petals on the table, to add to the magnificence

Side by side ,
Perfect eye contacts
Everything nice
That's my perfect date!
That's my dream date !

I fell in love, he said
With a lady from  the south side town of musuki
One with a perfect smile, perfect shape
This lady, he said,  stole his heart
From their first meeting, at the junction to the shop,
He knew she was the one, he imagined a perfect life with her.

Connie, Connie was her name, her beautiful name
She spoke so well, she owned her words
She had the Queen's royalty, she was adorable
In his description, he said she knew who she was
That when he asked about her name for the first time
She said it so perfectly well, that it caught his attention
And instantly he skipped a beat, his heart leaped.

In his narration he made their story look beautiful
So beautiful that it brought me all the fantasy about love
What love could do, what love was capable of
I admired his gestures, his expressions
As though love was some graceful thing from heaven
One so sweet, ordained and sanctified.

Connie brought back my belief in life, in humanity, he proceeded
She was the epitome of generousity
She smiled in public,  accorded help where needed
This lady, he said, was the perfect example of everything good he ever imagined

Their love story lasted for a year
Something that he expected not
In his dreams and imaginations he saw a lifetime association
Something so deep , so endless
The fact that it ended crahed him, hit him so hard he lost his focus
His pains manifested with the memories , the blissful past
How could love be so sweet and real one time
And the next minute it shatters, it goes away and hurts so bad
That is something he couldn't put into perspective, not even now

He talked about his healing process
How hard he has struggled to bring his life back to normal
To forget about the life he foresaw and assume this new torturous one
One with few ansers and more questions
One with pain and suffering .
He hoped to be better someday
That one day he will look back and be grateful for everything.
He would be brave  to talk about his story
For colours are numerous and promises are just words.

Floating helplessly along
The moving waves over the rocks
The numerous oceans in your eyes
It is a complete Paradise to me
A place of wonder and comfort
Shining, gleaming seeing right through
Blinding flames of desire , want and care
I can feel the sun,
Sometimes shimmering by your glance
Like two beautiful stars
Dipped in a sea of diamonds
Brace yourself
I'm in love again!
Love and life

Take me back
To the times we met freely
The days we cared less about time, nothing really
Take me back
To the Sunday afternoons we mingled with love
To the Monday nights we came together to deal with the blues
Take me back!
Now we have  restrictions
Of movement , from places
No more random banters at the roadside
No more meet ups for sandwiches at the cafe
Everything means nothing
No physical contacts to make
No deep hugs , no random pecks
We're stuck in lonliness
Sadness and unplanned depression
Nothing to smile about , at all
One person said
Maybe we're in the middle of a miracle
Something we can't see, something that will bring us Change
I smiled at that fact ,
It could be true , maybe this is it , our turn
The transformation will be seen and felt
Yes it will give us a new life dimension.                                                              '-jayword

My love, we're one
Oh my best friend, my dream come true
My favorite person, my human being
How sweet it is to love you, my love
You asked me how I felt the first time we met
No, baby I can't paint the true picture,

It's been a year now and still counting
I've had all the reasons to live life, fully
So abundantly in happiness, beautifully
Cause the thought of you, just the thought of you,
Makes me believe, makes me stay in thanksgiving

I told my friends about you by the way, my family alike
They know , they know that I have someone now , one they must like
Mamah smiled at the picture of you on my phone
Sis made fun of me being so deep in love, bro wanted to meet you
I told them not to worry , your presence will change their lives

So my love here I are, the whole of me
Take me as I am , stay with me always
Let me love you wholly, let me be with you
Keep our promises close to your heart, don't let them confuse you
Cause you're my choice , you're my battlemate , my partner

The distance, the arguments, the pains and suffering
Should not worry you, I will always choose us
Stay in love , stay in there for me , for us
Let's build a legacy , let's live life to the fullest
I did talk to God about you, I know he will keep you for me
Cause my love I will always need you, I will always keep you
Whatever comes our way, let's battle , let's pray , all for us
Cause my love we're one!
