She's a girl
Its usually about what she hears,
So please tell her the right things,
Don't say you love her if you don't mean it,
Because either way she might believe it,
If you don't think she's good looking,that's your opinion keep it to yourself,
What's the point of you telling her anyway?
Note that not  every girl fully acknowledges her beauty,
Being soft isn't being weak,
Don't take that for granted,her softness,fast loving and beautiful nature ; that's what makes her strong,
Because it brings forth experiences which toughen her,
She's a girl,she's beautiful.
Not saying girls always take in everything,nop!others know who they are so no matter what they're told,they stay grounded then on the other hand;some are still searching for who they really are,and are receptors of different opinions and views..cheers to all the ladies!! ;)

Attraction
Be who you want to attract,
Before you start "searching" for the right person,
Be the right person,
Find yourself,
Be comfortable with who you are,
Find happiness within you,
If someone is the only basis of your joy,
I'm afraid,your joy might be a mirage.
Sorry but its only in fairytales where frogs get to kiss princesses lol..

23-10-2015 huh,I thank God for this.had no idea this one would turn out to be a daily poem,I'm really touched like for real,didn't see this coming..but I must say,I've been waiting for this moment,guess dreams do come true :D ,..thanks for taking your time to read my poems and for the comments and likes ;they really encourage me,thank u very very very very very much people. :*
In the newspapers,
The front pages contain ******,**** defilement,******,etc
Usually on a daily basis,
Its so saddening to think that such things happen daily,
Has humanity gone to the dogs?
Children are dumped,thrown and abandoned in public toilets or streets,
I wonder where the motherly instincts of humanity have run off to,
Children killing parents for money,rituals
Has humanity gone to the dogs?
Thought our parents are our biggest treasures.
Youths losing their minds and doing all sorts of things including wrecking their own lives in the name of "fun",
Demons being entertained and angels being called fake,
Is there hope or maybe we're just nearing the end
The solution? - love.

Success
Success
is a

With no

We define success differently,so I figured perhaps success does have different keys..I really don't know of one specific key really

Wishes
If all wishes came true,
The world would be
Really   messy.
Just thought of this coz sometimes,our wishes are just so random and out of place,like when really upset or too excited

Comparison
Comparing yourself to others,
Seriously robs you of joy,
Accept your life as it is,
Love what you own,
There's no satisfaction in comparison,
You'll always think you're not good enough,
Compete with yourself,
Compare yourself with who you were yesterday,
Live in your life,
Be happy,be content and make improvements day by day.

Letting go
Is when you realize someone has been a big part of your life but you can't be with them anymore so you hand them over to history,
And move on to your destiny without a piece of them.

Words
Let's not undermine the power of the tongue,
From it,the mind pours either negativity or positivity,
And those bring effects.
What we say doesn't only affect us,
It also affects the listeners,even unknowingly,
Let's sieve our words before we let them out,
Taste them before we spit them
Let your words heal not break.
The wind is blowing tirelessly,
Delicate flowers are falling,
Branches are all shaking vigorously,
And I learn something from them,
No matter how hard the wind may blow,
They only move,
They don't change their shapes and colours,
The flowers may fall but at some point they allow the same wind to blow them into the sky and make them fly.
So I learn that hard situations shouldn't change who we are,
We only need to adjust our attitudes,
Struggles are there to make you a victor,
Like the flower being made to fly by what brought it down,
You let your struggles elevate you.

In life
You choose your path,
And when in wrath,
You choose how to react,
With people,you choose how to act,
When wrong,you choose to either accept or deny,
But the laws of nature;you can't defy
When you're wrong,you're wrong.
You can't run away from the consequences like you can from a ball when playing ping pong.
Life is a series of choices and results.

Respect
Respect people,
Don't think you're better than everyone else,
Keep being open minded,
That way you'll learn even more.
And treat people the exact same way you'd love to be treated,
Its natural to be nice to people and expect them to be nice to you too but unfortunately that's not always the case,
Don't forget self respect,
Reflect what you admire.

Children
Babies are angelic beings,
So pure and innocent,
Little,and can be trained into becoming great human beings,
They're beautiful and magnificent,
An empty notepad can't be filled with no action,
It has to be written in
Same applies to a young child,
Fill them with good things,
Good manners,morals and life lessons,
Not when they've "grown enough"
The earlier the better,

CaNdLe
A candle brings about light,
But with time,it goes out
As the wax melts,
As much as it would love to stay and live on,
It remains with no choice,
I bet it doesn't feel bad about melting,
Because its doing what its supposed to do;lighting up,
Applying that to us;as we live we get emptied,
If we're doing what we're supposed to do we're emptying our hearts,
And with time,you'll have given out the whole of you,
When you're done,you're free to go.
It never gets old,
Even when the injury is nothing odd,
We never get used to it,
Its even worse when you can't even move to your favourite beat,
All you can do is just lay down on a seat,
Brings about anguish,
One which you can't really distinguish
From the previous one,
Because the feeling never gets old to anyone,
Makes us mad, >:O
And our loved ones  sad :(
Pain,pain,pain,
Despite all this,physical pain
Is way less than emotional pain.
I'm not in pain now,but hey we've all been there..I guess living requires more than strength.
When you have nothing to write about,
But you want to write anyway,
Guess you can even write about having nothing to write about,
Like I'm doing right now.
So ideas creep in when you begin to write something even when you had nothing in mind,
Be patient with your head,its not a machine,
Its not always that ideas have to be well lined up,
Let the mind wander sometimes,
Its good.its alright

Parents
Provide,
Never wish to divide
The family,
They always want to see us live happily,
These are great people,
Who deserve so much respect,
In the bible,
Its only the commandment concerning them which contains a promise,so inspect
Yourself,are you honoring them as they deserve to be honoured?
Having them is a blessing,
Love them.
You came to earth through these people,I understand some parents may not be as good as expected but its probably coz they forgot how to love and bring up someone rightly due to their back grounds..you know;experiences shape us if we let them control us..let the lesson of the experience shape u,not the experience itself..
Being well principled,
Is called "old skool",
And its not easy to hold on tight
To good principles,but even when you manage you're called a fool,
Its like the tv,social media have really become the devils tool,
Natural beauty is called ugly,
Its said only make up can fix you greatly,
That's the ******* we're beginning to consume,
I think we need to pause,rewind to the time of good principles,then resume.
An ideal body image is set,
And if you don't measure up to that,your looks aren't great,
The question is who's anyone,
To set up such standards for everyone?
Accept and love who you are,
Make your own rules,
Don't let anyone define who you are.

Social influence??
If you don't want to be like "them",
Why hang out with "them"??,
Why hang out with people when behind their backs you complain about them?
Don't waste time complaining about things you can actually change,
You end up sounding like a broken record you know,
Make your decisions,
Surround yourself with goodness if that's what you want.
Its up to you.. ;)

Flowers
If flowers that dropped from trees could remain fresh and the exact color they dropped as,we wouldn't call them dirt.
We would call them "beautiful things that form a beautiful natural colorful carpet" and even wait for the season that they would fall again and again without ever ceasing to do so.
They're still beautiful

My life when I leave
I'd love my life story to be interestingly  narrative  ,
With words so true;nothing  deceptive  
And inspiration being the   objective
The minds reading or listening to be sincerely   receptive  ,
I'd like the integrity to be  seductive
So people could rush to grab it with none to make it   restrictive
And to earn people strategies to make lives more    decorative  .

Beauty products
Probably
Advertise
to
make you feel
ugly,
So you can buy them
In order
to feel beautiful,
Or feel raised to the set
standard of
beauty.
Don't get it twisted.I'm not saying beauty products are bad,no.Just stating their marketing strategy.

Late Night poetry
Ideas are usually splendid,
Because it kinda feels like you're in isolation when everyone around is asleep and you're awake.
And in a lonesome state,ideas creep in pretty well,leave out the bad ones.
Midnight creativity,is unique and fun and interesting,

Impressing people
There's no fulfillment in impressing  everybody,
So what's the point of trying to do so,
Maybe life would be easy,
Because you'd have no opponents,
But really,living your life impressing people and trashing your own views,
Is as good as being dead,
I won't waste my life living that way.

Bittersweet little pills
I'm referring to actual medicine -

They say the best medicine tastes bitter,
So you have to take it to get better,
How I wish the word was sweeter!!
As in "the best medicine tastes sweeter",,
So what happens is;the little pill,
Goes into my blood stream with great thrill,
Unlike me when taking it in ; with no zeal,
But we thank God
For the brains that create those precious pills of "gold".
An instant thought of writing about medicine.

Priorities
Priorities
Birth
Principles.
Changing your principles,
Without counter-checking your priorities,
Can cause a huge mess,
Very confusing one,
The two - principles and priorities.
Go hand in hand..
Your priorities detect your principles,your principles protect your priorities.

When people "ignore" you
When people ignore you,
You're more free to do what you wish to do,
Because you'll owe no one any explanation,
So craving attention,
Sometimes just deprives us of the sight to look past our "limitation"
Its beneficial to be alone at times,
Think about life,make those rhymes,
Its needed,
Moments of silence and thorough thinking are required,
For self development,
And mental improvement.
If you feel you have no reason to forgive someone,
Consider this one - forgive because you deserve peace of mind.
Holding a grudge is like making your worst enemy the center of your life,
Don't give such authority to anyone,
A grudge only hurts you,so what's the point of holding it?
Its like holding a really sharp edged knife hoping it'll slice your enemys fingers when in the actual sense its slicing your own.
We all wish grudges could hurt the ones we hold them against but sadly they only hurt us.

The beauty of life
The beauty of life,
Is that in it lies hope,
Within life all things hoped for are possible,
The beauty of life,
Is that Love is real,it exists.
The beauty of life,
Is that as long as you are alive,
You can make a different decision,
To change your lifes direction,
The beauty of life,
Is that as long as its you living,
You have every right to do what you want to do that makes you happy,
The beauty of life,
Is that life itself is beautiful,if you decide to see it as beautiful.

The power in womanhood
The power of a woman is  not  to be underestimated at all,
Maybe that's why men are physically stronger than women,
Because a woman doesn't require that much of physical strength,
All it really takes is her mind and how she uses it,
She can create love or hatred,
Make you love sin or detest it.
She can build you or crash you to crumbs if you're not careful.
Women - use your power wisely,to make lives better;to empower.
Men - be wise enough to know how that power is working in your life,is it in a good way??
Yes you may be her head,but she's in your head (get it??).
Men have great power too but in this case I was focusing on my fellow ladies ;) . For any questions - inbox. Peace!

God loves you,
When He allows hard times,
He never forgets you,
He knows you can make it,
And He gives you what you need to survive it all,
He wants us to love Him through thick and thin,
Always hold on to Him,
Your prayers don't go unanswered if you align them with His will,
Don't give up on God.
He'll never give up on you.

I don't understand much of what's happening around me,
Prophets lavitating,
Some making people do all sorts of crazy things,
Defiling congregants.
While others turn water into wine,.I don't want to be misled,
And I wouldn't say they're misleading,
I'm no judge.
And its up to me to go along or not,
But really I'm stuck in my head thinking,
So I resort to,asking for Gods guidance.
And following my instincts.
Fifty years of peace,
Not always been bliss,
But they've all been filled with hope,
Seeing things get dope ;)
Going up the *****,
Christian nation,
So proud of this declaration,
But it doesn't mean other religions we can not allow,
There's always been freedom of worship even upto now.
Mother Zambia,indeed you're as peaceful as a mother,
Interesting and vibrant like a brother,
Loving as a sister.
Free from disaster,
Blessed are you among all nations,
These are my simple declarations,
That you shall exceed,
Greatness you shall supersede,
As I continue to intercede,
For your eventual success
You shall stand out in the masses.
For my country Zambia.Not yet independence day but yeah ;). The upcoming independence day will clock us 51 years of freedom.yeah yeah I know most of don't give a **** about such lol,but what the heck,just had to post this :p ,I love my country.

Lord I seek your face,
I pray one day my soul will sing praises in your heavenly place,
As imperfect as I am,
Playing with my life like a ball in a game,
You still love me,
Sometimes its so hard to even get on just one knee
To pray,
Because my thoughts take me astray,
But I still yearn for you,
You're the reason for my being,.without you,
I'd be blue.
I love you.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

You're blessed because you're trusted to bless someone else,
Its not just about you,
Its about being a steward of Gods blessings,
You could be the answer to someones  prayer,
Its not even about monetary issues,
Sometimes its just about giving your time and friendship,
Making someone feel and know they're  loved.
Life itself is a blessing so giving your time in a good way is also passing on the blessing.
A blessing is a blessing in the sense that if it rains upon you,you should spread it to others for them to be blessed too.

Thoughts under the moon
You can really understand how bright the moon is if you're in a place that's dark without lights,only relying on the night skys brightness.
You can really understand something when its the point of focus
Just like in the case of the moon,when you're surrounded by lights you see the moon as a tiny point of light in the sky,
But when the lights go out,you realise the moon actually illuminates.
In a dark situation,a seemingly little thing you didn't ever picture making sense,actually would make sense.
Like the bible you might have left dusty on the shelf,
Or even someone you never thought you'd ever befriend.
Moon was full and I thought of this.

Faith
At some point,
We all need
To have faith
Like that of
A little child,
In order to take some steps.
Like falling and staying in love,
Chasing after a dream,
Taking chances,
Doing new stuff,
Taking risks.
Because a childs faith is pure, without doubt,nothing is thought of as impossible by a child.
I sure do envy that faith.

Loadshedding
Its so irritating,
Feels like a bug on my throat but I just can't cough it out,
Of course it gives room for meditating,
But it still hurts like the burn of steam from a spout,
All sorts of negative aspects to it,
But on the good side of it,
The house gets dark,
Due to this I overcome fearing the dark :D ,
Guess its true that everything no matter how bad it seems,has a good side to it.
Loadshedding:

action to reduce the load on something, especially the interruption of an electricity supply to avoid excessive load on the generating plant.

Gender Based Violence
Makes women feel useless,
And men defenseless
She feels she's to blame,
While he feels talking about it is such a shame,
How will they possibly free their minds from the pain,
If they don't talk about this act of disdain,
They'd love to,
But don't know how to,
Perhaps telling it to a good soul,
Willing to listen and provide good counsel,
And not forgetting to put behind bars the body that jailed your soul.
*Pensive*  | haven't been there but its something my mind can't escape because too many are directly affected.

How about
How about we just let ourselves be who we really are?without minding what others would think?
Without worrying about being judged?or without taking mere opinions(bad ones) to heart as though they were facts?wouldn't life be more joyful and less stressful?,its a way of life I envy,if I don't get there..I'll probably die trying to get there.its not easy but its worthwhile.

Inner glow
Walk down the street you get so much attention,
People stare,
That makes you feel great,
But don't let your life and happiness depend on it,
Because as life gets late,
Looks fade,
Before they fade,ignite the beauty within
So that when the outside fades,the inner will glow

Perhaps to be less hurt,
We should love without expecting as much from the one we love,
But being human,its hard to tune the mind to think that way,
And somewhat it seems true that when someone breaks your heart they never really loved you the same as you loved them,
God loves us though He knows only few of us could actually love Him that much,
Since love is selfless,guess we should love selflessly, its our duty.

Try building a home in your heart,
Yes we understand that hurt could bring about great art,
But its great to draw inspiration from good things,

Locking up your heart is no escape from pain,
So relax and stop living life in disdain.

The Man
He's friendly but not a flirt,
He's not pure but he tries to free his mind from dirt,
He sticks to one woman,
He knows having more only makes him less of a man.
He treats people with respect,
He's usually holding on to the good side an aspect,
He's positive,
His plans are so stable;more like sweetly manipulative,
Life isn't always nice for him,
But he still feels obliged to make a change in the lives of those in his realm.
He's a hardworker,
Such that he qualifies to be a home maker,
He's great but he's not proud,
He's so humble only his actions speak loud.
He's only a saint because he sins and still goes back for repentance,
He's not perfect,and he's brought this to acceptance.

He's the man,

Apparently life is more like a game,
You win according to how you play,
And winning isn't always reaching fame,
Sometimes its simply living with fulfillment in everyday,
In this "game" rules aren't really rules,
You're not obliged to follow them,
But then breaking some rules is being part of the fools,
Because you may just invite unncessary mayhem.
You don't choose who you get to fight
They happen naturally,
But of course that shouldn't cause any fright,
Because each day moving foward must built up strength enough to be protected fully.

The heart
When the heart gets "broken"
It still beats stoplessly,
The heart is strong,it endures until the brains says "I can't go on"
There's nothing your heart can't stand,
Nothing stops it from doing its work,
Let's learn from this ***** of life,
Its precious and really inspiring when you think of it.
Its never let you down,its always working even when you call it weak and broken.
It never stops..
Endure like it does,its within you.

Raw Beauty
The wind is blowing,
It calms my mind,
Keeps my thoughts flowing,
Makes me feel like even when I'm blind,
It could lead me,
I open my arms to receive its big hug,
Feeling tightly embraced yet so free,
And I'm assured that no matter how long my hug may be I'm not being a bug,
Its so beautiful to hug nature,
Allows you be a part of the awesome beauty
About this;one can only give a short lecture,
Because loving nature is an inborn duty.
Inspired by the wind. :p
