Autumn
Autumn.

The summer is over, the cold reigns.
The cold winds blow in autumn signing the coming of july.
The sun shines from afar, the rays not providing any warmth.

As the winter flood gates open, and the chills dull the thrills.
Ever so often we seek for our warmth in tunic and boots.
We seek for the yonder heart and warm heart.
We seek for that laughter and genuine encouragement.
Our hearts long for that dear one...

In the cold july the flamming eyes will thaw the frost.
The warm kiss will sweeten the voice, and the jade bird will once again sing. An embrace that will let two hearts beat in tandem. Defrosting the ice in between.
Be it unto thee, the holder of the candle, let thy heart have grace and let mine heart thaw.

Let friendship if nothing more blossom.
Let the blocked channel be unblocked. Let salams and morning be.

A sincere plea from, a desperate friend , seeking an olive branch.

Resilience
Though life seems tough, though all help seem to lessen,
Though the drought seems prolonged and the land be patched and dry.


Though kindred seem as foreigners,
And friends seem as strangers.
Though you feel lost and confused, just know.

The future will honor you, don't loose hope don't give in to hopelessness.
We are strong when we have what we look for in the future.


Build stamina in the challenges of today, train in decision making and making choices today. Tomorrow you will be the inspiration story, tomorrow you will be the crown we will be celebrating.
Though the path be hard you are equal to the task
Endy, tough childhood

Tears of My Boy
I know now we are two men in the house,
My young lad now knows his position,
he plays into his new and permanent role,
A man he has become.

As he is burying his emotions,
As he is mantaining calm, in face of internal turmoils,
As he gasps and smiles hiding his pains,
Tears can't avoid but to stream on his chubby cheeks,
As my boy transitions into a man.

On catching sight of me, i see the brightening of his eyes,
As i draw near, i hear the joyful shrill of his voice.
As i shake his hand, am met by a warm embrace.
As my boy turns into a man.

I look into thy eyes, i see my past,
I see my unwrought ore,
I see a bud, about to bloom.
I see the sunshine after the gloom.
I see my boy turn to a man.
Boy turns to man

The meeting.
The meeting.
We toyed with the idea,
Non injurious jabs we threw at each other,
Harmless winks, innocent laughters, truly uplifting.
A date in a swamp, sugarcane mangoes made the day.

Her mind was like a shopping mall,
Great ideas apon shelves of greater ideas.
Clarity of vision her demeanor,
As bright as her lovely eyes.
Purpose and intent clear,
mirrored by her gorgeous lips on a perfect face.
From her recess of thoughts came forth money makers.
Like an architect blue print, and  with steps of execution.
Arithmetics simplified, foggy haze cleared.
Truly I saw a  star 🌟 during the meeting.

Rocks on a rock
Would you dance with me,
Would you waltz, samba and rumble  for me.
Would you be a body ******, turn to a bow for me.

In our secret hideout, just you and i.
They only thing clothing us, is our shyness
As we await for the camp fire to die,
And the night darkness to blanket us,
The night sky is filled with sweet night songs.
A night gale here, a baboon call there and bushbaby call somewhere.
In our cave, on bed of leaves we seat,
Our proximity so close.
I cant hold it any longer, i just have to gaze to you.
Into your eyes, deep brown eyes,
I see an ocean deep and clear
In the dying ambers, i catch a glimpse of the tide,
The current of desire, the depth of your hunger.
Gorgeous eyes, pure and white.
Am a sailor in the ocean, am ready to be drowned.

With just a gaze, its enough,
Without a word everything is said,
I am a parched desert and you are an oasis.

The cold night breeze, draws us nearer,
Like a magnet our body heat attracts us to each other.
As we lock in a hug, and rock on our leafy bed of rock.
We transform from the, harmless lambs, into jungle wilds.
Like a vampire am drawn in for the ****, like a dracula you seek taste of blood,
Our barrier, the linen, are shred to bits.
With heaving and growling the beasts are let out
We disturb the quite night, with our wild song.
Am the raging fire, am trying to consume, and like a tempest ocean storm you are trying to drown me.
The leaves on our bed fly everywhere, as to bodies are locked in a pleasure contest.
A crescendo, a Harmony a sweet surrender.
The ocean bashes against the hardrock,  the fire heats up the ocean water.
Then the two night creatures howl, in ecstasy,  trembling in waves ands waves of pleasure.
As they lay locked, and catching breath, smiles Break into their sweaty face.
The nightgale, the baboon and bushbaby now make a unison song.
A best for year 2021

The Rift
She became what she willed,
I stood by her, made her be.
Her new plant grew,
In strength it flourished.
Leafy green it be, big canopy it had.

It became priority, covering all of us
Our other plants began to wilt,
Her was shading ours.
It took all our water and minerals.
Leaving weak crops in a field.

To survive we have to divert our water.
We have to horde our minerals,
Least other crops dry, to the big tree
The blue gum was destroying us.

I will hide the water from the farmer,
My water is for the other crops,
I will water my crops in secret,
Not let the big tree absorb it.

The farmer, and his family aren't talking.
The farmer feels unsupported,
The aide feels over exploited.
Months are going, the cracks widens
The rift deepens, reasources hidden
Will they survive the gully?

What is friendship
What is friendship if it's just for PR,  what kind of friendship  if am a Prop. If your worst  you keep and your best you share,  then am just a cover friend,  ribbon to be seen and not a bolt to tighten.                                         Melon kind of friendship,  a political type of relation.  It's not for colleagues. Let our boundaries be marked level be known. Am just toe deep but you treat me as shoulder deep.  Now am weary  careful and dreadful.  We know and av known.  My status as know.

Christmas 20 twelve 2020
A quarter a chicken, a plateful of chips. Drowning it with 'monster'.
Chitchat counting hours to minutes and finally to seconds

The niceties of first xmas passed.
The sweat of the day washed,
Beneath the sheets seeking sleep.

A hug  a kiss, an overnight wrestling match. No lossers just exubirated winners.
The memors written with indelible ink, life fluids, sesame seeds

Swi
Swi
Swi you are my flame, you are my fire. You warm me up, and burn me with desire.
Your touch as petal, relieving my tire.
Am blest for my need for you is dire.

Skin as sapphire, eyes as two doves.
Lips so succulent, flowing fresh oases
Hips as curves, wells of desires
Perfection in a person, one who is my beloved.

Am losing you
I confess, i love you,
I confess you are my choice above the rest
I confess, i wouldnt wish to replace you
I confess, am slowly losing you.

How can a great thing, best thing go so wrong
How can a great path mislead so,
True change of priority, shakes the entire structure.
And a sweet thing too sweet taste bitter.

Wild your sword, flash it in the sun,
Chants the war cries, who is your foe?
Quip at the silent us, we appear not in support.
We cant drain, the entire oil on one head,
Others to need to be annointed.

Am not seeing us, slowly apart we are growing.
No hugs no kisses, even simple hello nah!
Each others company not enjoyable.
Family is know a meeting of strangers.
I might have lost you, or i am losing you.

Buts words put a face to our emotions, they clothe our very message in the attire we wish it to have. The give a tone to the message we so wish to be delivered.

With my hug in words i send to you.
Peaceable and peaceful night

Tango
We were to tango, yesternight.
The mood was right, but the lights took flight.
Darkness ruled and our dance wasnt tight.

Tonight there is light, let make it right.
Let love, lets fight, let illuminate bright.

TO MY UNBORN CHILD
I may not be sure, that my fragments are parts of you
I know your mother is a solid woman,
She is fine like seasoned wine,
Taste sweet like honey of acacia flowers,
Her ambience of true dignity,
Great keeper of secrets, I know she makes others seems a mature.

Walk tall son for truly you are born,
Other feel.inadequate of their parents ,
But to you though born in a storage circumstance are more hair of the land as any other.
Make me proud son, let your mother sigh with joy,
Let her ***** be youthfull at the sight of the joy of her youth, the fruit of her womb.

ALICE
That night the mother heaved,
what was inside her was ready to emerge.
The day was gloomy, the skies were dark.
Lightening was cracking,
flashes of light here and there.
Deafening thunder that shock the house.
The mother was worried, what will become of this last born.
Just like in unison with the weather, sharp pains ran through her, sign that the young visitor was ready to come.
In less than 15minutes, another flower was added into the banquet.
Her smile like ray of sunshine,
as if to confirm,
the storm subsided,
the heavens cleared.
She looks a sweet flower, let her be named Alice

built for...
From her flawless skin and great skin complextion. With the dazzling eyes and sweet smile. with her piercing eyes and her mersmirising smile. With her tall figure and curved hips
With a sensual laughter and ecstatic giggles.
Her mind explosive her thoughts expansive
A brazen daughter, a beautiful mother.
She thirst for perfection, she strives for success.
You can tell she wasn't created for war, she was built for love.

My son
There is nothing that gives me pleasure than to know the strength of my youth is strong. It makes me tremble with goodness to see him blossom into a fine leader.
My wrinkled face smoothens as I see him, blossom in wisdom and empathy.
Gladden mine heart , oh chosen arrow, lighten my age thee great spear.

Beyond the storm
I know one day the clouds will pass, the sun will shine again.
The silent birds will sing,
the noise of gale and the storm will hush.
The gloomy sad raincoat you have on, you will no longer require.
You will dress in that bright sunny dress,
your joy and smile will radiate,
the day will be brighter and warmer than it has ever been.

Human beings are called beings coz we chose what to be,
Above our animal instincts above our craving s, above our abhors and likes, we got reason we got a mind.

Our ability to think and reason liberates us, and XD in life.
Our overthinking makes us simulate situations that could be but arent.

We tend at times to focus see the unseen and fear the unreal.

At times just be...

🦋 butterfly
I lodge on the twig,
as i digest my hearty meal, the mulberry leaves.
They call me grumpy, coz am a grub.
They call me wobbly and fat,
the maggot that i am.

Birds wish me for their dinner,
Ladies screech and ***** at my sight,
You touch me and i burn,
Am hated and my life seems blink.
Hairy caterpillar i am.

Of late a drowsiness without course,
Has been sneaking up on me,
My nightmares that I had,
Have been overtaken by bright dreams.

As i dozed in my week sleep,
a change occurred.
I woke up winged, no longer ******.
My round waist replaced by a figure 8
Am a dazzle am a darling, butterfly.

Am now attracted to lilly flowers,
no longer yearning leaves.
High up in the sky i tower,
Among the beauty i sleep.
Damsels wish to be called with me,
My spines replaced by fragrance.

I wake each day my horror is, this may be fake,
But to my joy to discover my beauty is to remain.
Am know a butterfly!

Regrets
I sign and bite my lower lips, my head reels with images and unmet fantasies. I wrought my iron forged my swords, filled my quiver to brim in the anticipated encounter. I rehearsed my war chants, Practiced my victory dance. I puffed my chest, strengthened my *****, flexed my muscles. I gathered the crowd to see me unhilate my enemies. But I regret, I regret not my bad choices, but for the good ones I didn't do, I regret the memories I didn't create, I regret the lyrics I could have made into songs. I regret the words I swallowed that gave me ulcers, I regret the fake smile I put that made my tooth ache I regret

— The End —
