Out in the balcony
Under the moonlight
The fine breeze slapping my face
Nights are breathtakingly wonderful
A rest from the noises of the day
Time to recount and review
Sit honestly with oneself and dive into solitude
One's often tempted to strike a monologue
Tonight that person is me, my beautiful self.

My mind is at peace
Now that I called mum on the phone
Earlier today , she said she was fine
Save for the fact that she misses me so much

My twin sis called before lunch that day
She wanted to brag about her large pizza
The kind I couldn't get that time
It was from her boyfriend
She was kinda emotional though
It did hit her that she hasn't seen me for a year now

My lil bro reminded me of our agreement
I'd bring him a bike after school
He'd constantly been the best in class
His zeal was pure
He was truly my brother

Precious, my best friend , my love
Said something to me the day before
About our relationship, about our association
She was so much convinced
We were meant for each other
She took her time to explain to me
How she's ready to sacrifice everything for us
It was the best part of my day that day
It is even so fresh in my mind
As if she is to say it again, tomorrow

I'm happy with my life's progress
I've done so much in a short span
I should actually celebrate
I should be grateful
I should ask myself to continue
Endlessly without quiting.

First, you fit me
Second, you're my favorite human
And to infinity you're my soulmate
My escape center
My kinda solitude zone
You're my antidote

My perfect poison, my twin drug
Epitome of my weakness, my emotions
You invoke love in me, you take care of my fears
You're my best friend, my other half
My dearest love, my kinda person
You're my antidote

I love how you break me,
Your tortures are insanely sweet
You capture my imaginations, you're my mystery
The embodiment of my dreams
My perfect mistake,  my sin
You're my antidote

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!

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

What's your story?
You mind telling it?
To people, to the world
About the hills you've climbed
The valleys you've experienced
The pieces you've collected,
The ones that slipped off your hands
What's your story, what's your true story.

Mine's been the mixed type
The kind that confuses sometimes
The one with no definite themes
Just different parts put together
My story is like a colour spectrum
With various definitions in each colour
Several meanings and titles
A lot of twists and turns
Beliefs and despair
Tractions and loose ends

From a promising childhood
One that taught me a lot  of things
A period I hold so dear
'Cause without it, I'd be so incomplete
Incomplete in terms of experiences
In terms of love and understanding
In terms of respect and persistence
My ubringing, one that I owe to my dear parents
Was complete and worth stating

Growth and development,
The two simple facts about humanity
Got me to a place of balance and survival
With happenings at school, juggling home chores
Growing and becoming
Coming to terms with most life's realities
Enduring pain and drawing paths of success
A stage where you're confronted by so many things
Not love, not hate , not confusion
Everything descending onto you at once
And with your little and distabilized self
You have to act right,
Learn how to deal with them and see yourself through

God has been good, that's a fact that will surely remain
'Cause in the process so much has happened
A lot has shaped the person I am
Some I don't even realize ,
But the grace has been sufficient, so abundant
The mistakes I've made
The crises I've caused my life
The indulgences I've been part of
The promises I've made
The madness I've experienced
And the cruelty of this world
Are things  I wouldn't talk about in a piece.

Life as it is remains a mystery
And everything in it , far much alike
And in the quest for everything fine and beautiful
A lot take place, so many things happen
And at the end of the day , at the very end
We're the products of our decisions and choices
Experiences transform, use that to your advantage
Pain propels,
Love endures
And most importantly,
The grace of God is always sufficient.

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

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 !

Love was all scary
Until you made love with my lips
And all I could think about
Is how a simple kiss
Can take away all the fears and pains
And plant so much awesomeness.
You my perfect remedy.



-jayword

Heart of gold
Eyes so beautiful
Skin completely flawless
The awesomeness of her body
So gracious, so true.

Her magical gaits
So wonderfully calculated
Her skin tone,
The pure melanin type
The one without a crack.

She spoke like an angel
With expressions so perfect
Her communication so enticing
She had her words right
She mastered her thoughts

My African Precious
My kinda girl
My love oasis
Your beauty has no match
You're just so perfectly perfect!

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.

May history be rational to you and me
'Cause until today it's still a mystery
It's still a shock that you left
You gave up on us without a reason.
That, for me,
Is still a puzzle
One that I leave to history and the heavens
To bring judgement upon.
