Losing again and again,
Helped me to grow and
                     WIN.

night of the full moon
some corpses rise from the graves
time for black magic.

Death does not go by age,
Or has restrictions.
17/12/2023

Getting older and older,
Moving beyond seventies,
And I like it,
I feel lucky,
Not many have the opportunity.
19/3/2025

A thought creeps into my mind over and over,
Jesus taught us to give to the poor,
We give wonderful presents to each other,
Some unwanted,
That becomes tomorrow's garage sales.
Sing all the Christmas Carol's,
Till they send you off with enough bucks,
Don't over drink at a office Christmas party,
Less you have to look for a new job afterwards.
The Christians will pray in the Church for a better another year,
While others will sit at home and ponder what they achieved this year.
With little more cheer,
Be a little nicer,
Smile a little easier,
After all it's Christmas,
The coming of Santa Claus.

Where we come from doesn't matter,
What we become is important.

I was calm,collected and wise before marriage,
After I tied the knot,
I am now otherwise.
31/7/2019.

Is my mirror,
That shows me my true self.
Is someone that refreshes my soul,
Someone who always has a smile for me,
Even when her eyes tell another story,
Someone who is now more than a family.

For me she was my world,
My Love,
To her I was a joke

In itself is part yoga and part meditation.

I'm fine,
Be happy,
Don't worry.
Look at me,
I am wearing the smile you gave me,
Round my neck,
I am wearing  a pendant with your charm which you gave me.
A smile and charm,
Will keep mine and other hearts warm.

I am done with material things,
The most precious gifts you can give me is your TIME and PATIENCE.
Sit with me and listen,
Talk to me,
Do not be frustrated if I ask you the same questions again and again,
Or I ask you to repeat something.
Light a candle with your presence,
In my darkness,
With patience wait for me to step back into light.
My life now is black and white,
While the world around me is colourful
Splash some of your beautiful colours onto me.
If life is all about sharing and caring,
By giving me some of your time and patience,
I get a part of you my love,
Which I crave most
That's all I want.
30/12/2023

If you do not trust my friendship...
How can you love me?

I dress modestly,
Carry a worn out handbag,
Wear worn stretchers,
Be humble and courteous,
And speak politely.
The doctor's clinic,
The lawyer's office,
The  principals office,
To minimise bills or donations.

Being alive itself is a miracle.

Both are supportive
           And
Close to your heart.
6/11/2020

I had no one to turn,
Nowhere to go,
Everything looked bleak,
Without a hope,
Instead of a hand,
I found a paw.
10/2/2022

The day you jilted me,
I didn't fall apart,
I rediscovered myself,
I fell into place.

Some people don't like me,
Because of hearsay of others,
With others my aura does no click with theirs,
I don't heed them and keep my distance,
And some, as time goes by and they come to really know me,
Change their attitude for better.
21/12/2024

They said I was a limited  edition,
I understood I was weird,
Impractical,
Indifferent.
At least I was happy,
Had many friends,
Less stress,
Less anxiety.

One kiss,Two kiss,three kiss,
Smack, Smack, smack,
Four kiss,five kiss, six kiss,
Thump a ****,thump a ****,
Seven kiss,eight kiss, nine kiss,
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa,
Ten kiss................
No,no more kisses,
Give the kiss a miss,
Outside the door is your missus.

I feel sad,
I listen to music,
And go to sleep.
24/3/2023

If you want
        love
              and
                   war

Get married.

my second born child
loves but doesn't know how to show
the beat of my heart.

I have three sons,
The eldest gave me money,
Live a good life mummy and left,
I will send you more,
I didn't want his money for I had my own,
With his I will have to be wary of thieves.
The youngest gave me a huge maisonette and a  luxurious car with a chauffeur,
Live in style mum,
No, maintaining your house and car would be a strain on my old self.
The second came with his wife and two children,
We give you ourselves and our care,
We have enough to have you with us,
To hold your hands forever,
In health and sickness,
I said Yes!
9/9/2020

I looked at me in the mirror,
Lol,
I laughed at God's creativity.
HE must have been in a playful mood,
Too much clay on the wrong parts,
Green eyes, red hair,
Freckles on the face,
An amazing smile and a dimple chin,
At least HE was happy and having fun.
Me too and I love me.

Friends are colourful,
A rainbow of happiness,
A reflection of yourself ,
That you paint on the canvas of your life,
Which makes life worth living.
Friends are tiny seeds,
We keep planting and sowing them,
In the garden of our heart,
Till they blossom 🌸 into fragrant flowers,
That fills our world.
Friends speak to your soul in a thousand ways,
Act as shields to protect you against all odds.
Fake friends are like ivy,
Swamp and decay whoever they embrace,
Whilst true friends are lifetime,
A chest of treasure,
A beautiful gift,
Wrapped with beauty, joy and grace.

As I woke up in the morning in my hospital bed,
I saw the patient next to me breathing his last,
I thanked God for another beautiful day,
And vowed never to let it go to waste.

An Apple a day,
Keeps the doctor away.
What happened?
To Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden,
When they ate the forbidden fruit,tricked by Satan.
Thrown down to Earth,
Was it worth?......
Or be poisoned like Snow white,
And go to sleep till awakened by  a prince right.

You can be forgiven for some grave mistakes you have made in life,
But the regrets remain with you forever.

I don't  care for the opinions of others,
I dress well but in attires I feel comfortable,
I eat when I want to,
I sleep when I want to.
I still coach a few students to keep me busy,
I love the feel of water,
So take my time in the shower.
I am not into meat,
I love fruits and nuts,
I must have an ice cold glass of coconut water everyday.
I keep in touch with my children, my sister, nieces, nephews and friends,
On the phone or WhatsApp,
My son and daughter ring me everyday sharing anecdotes and news of mundane things in our life.
Living alone is an advantage,
Nobody to nag you what to do.
18/11/2024

One day I went with my friend to put flowers on her sister's  grave.
My eyes fell on the  tombstone.
On it was written:
Come but don't shed tears on my grave,
Friends don't be sad,
If any of you miss me just come up to visit me.

A little that lasts is better
than much that brings
Grief.

felt the first snow fall
roused my inner child to play
a magic moment
29/10/2021

The most sexiest thing about kindness in attracting people towards you.

I gave her the key to my heart,
She used it as a Ballroom,
I stood by and watched.

Religion and love,
You are poor.
Both give you roots to hold onto.

relaxes the mind,
best way to see the landscape
good for the body.

Time is an illusion,
Time is precious
Time is here to stay till the end of the world,
So time is infinite.
But, you my friend grow old and die,
You are finite,
Don't waste your time,
Don't wait for it to come to you,
Make the most of it,
It's never late to do whatever you want,
Time covers the distance between your birth and death,
Use it well on you,
Or it will tick your life away.
19/7/2019

My heart is not a piece of cake,
Taste it,
Lick your fingers,
And au 're voir.
31/5/2019

The bee,
Stung a flea,
With pain and  tears,
It  settled on a glass of beer,
Licked some drops,
The beer did the trick,
Gave it courage to make the bee sick.
My bite to your sting,
And the flea landed on the bee's
wing,
Now, I will defecate too,
Make you itch till you are blue.
Never play with a flea,
Cats, dogs and even humans are afraid of me.
4/7/2019

Which may hurt is better not told.
22/9/2023

Love just happens,
A gaze,
A touch,
A smile,
A gesture,
In a heart beat,
Hey Presto!
Flashing moment.
22/7/2019

Your past is most beautiful,
That you pray your future would be same.
16/12/2022

When I was pregnant,
With my first child,
I boarded a bus to go shopping,
The bus was full.
A kind gentleman offered me his seat,
Which was under and advertisement  which read
"RUBBER GOODS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS ACCIDENT ",
People around me chuckled,
It was an embarrassing moment,
But seeing the funny side I too smiled.
1/10/2023

Shackled with time,
Time to sleep,
Time to wake up,
Breakfast, lunch and dinner time,
Time to go to work, school or for a meeting,
Time to take a bath, to brush your teeth or to say your prayers,
Hurry, hurry, hurry time flies,
You will miss the train, bus , plane or the occasion,
Time, time, time,
Caged,
Your life ticking away in the value of time,
Every minute full of opportunities,
Make the most of it.

At three to four months,
Never try for an abortion,
The foetus is now a human being,
It has a SOUL
