So much avarice
Brings existential crisis
Race to fill coffers
Depriving others
Living a deception
Rancor spills over
Darkness has
Never been darker

I'm sitting here in my office
watching steam rise in cursive swirls
from the black coffee in front of me
on this stormy Friday morning

Staring at nothing in particular,
I allow my thoughts to linger,
becoming completely lost in another
beautiful daydream of you and me

      we walk along a secluded beach,
         palm tree shadows sway,
     sand between our toes,
        a sunrise surf lulls hypnotically
          in rhythmic tempo whispers as I peer
       deeply into your maple syrup eyes,
    falling deeper in love with you
          with each longing glance
      We kiss and my heart melts
        at the feel of your sweet lips
      pressed tightly against mine…

A loud clap of thunder wakes me
as I once again realize where I am,
sitting behind a desk covered in paperwork
and another now cold cup of coffee, but…

There are many more daydreams where
that one came from that will always include
you because… they all originate in my heart
and there’s still hot coffee in the ***
Good morning
Life is changing every day;
You were my Sunshine,
You were my reason for living,
Whatever I had belonged to you,

I never knew tomorrow would never come,
I never knew that I would never say “I do.”

After my long life;
My bride,
You are my oldest memory of love,
You stand side by side with my mother in heaven,

Your Soul is as beautiful as the first day I met you,
I will always remember you my bride,
Lying there in a white dress;

In my long life,
I have never met someone,
With a Soul like yours,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I've had many chances, at love!
I have never found someone that would take my hand and say,
“I'm yours forever and ever.”

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.”

I learned true love is difficult to come by,

I've met many Angels.
But, They live under the wrong sky and in the wrong time,

You once told me, “We should live and love our lives to the fullest.
You are given very few chances at love.”

“Be happy my love. Enjoy! Your life.”

Take a chance at, love once again.

Narrow minds plague our streets
Ignorant views and empty arguments
Hearts filled with hatred for no reason

Are we not a country that fought for equality
Has the long walk of freedom not been walked for us
Did I misunderstand the meaning of Ubuntu

What happened to love, peace and empathy
The simplicity of an act of kindness
Has fear swept all your morals away?

They bleed when they are cut
They cry when they are sad
We breath the same air
Laugh at the same jokes
and even dream the same dreams

We are the same
It's not even about colour
How is their black different to yours?
brother hating brother
They too are Africa

Soften your blows
Try on their shoes
Its hurting them
and it will hurt you too
