As I looked up
I saw the fluffy clouds
Candyfloss
I want to go up there
This expanse was binding
I wanted to observe
So I lay down on the green lush grass
With my eyes open
Blinking was not permitted
My eyes watered
But this was one beautiful gift of nature
That I couldn't miss
It was everlasting
Is it real?
I want to  dance on the candyfloss
Like I jump on a trampoline
I want to be carefree again
I want to live again
I want to go up there and play
I want my childhood back
I want my innocence back
I want to go back
I want to grow up again
Mend  all the mistakes I made
Start afresh
On the clouds that dance
In the sky
So fresh.
Let's go
Let's take the omnibus
And jump on the clouds
Like carefree kids again.-L

We were under that tree
Where you caressed my hair free
Where you touched my lips slowly
And traced the outline deeply
I still hold that memory
It's embedded somewhere deep
Oh my love
I long for you
Come back to me.

THIS CHANGE
I CAN FEEL IT
NOT YOUR LITTLE GIRL ANYMORE
THIS CHANGE
I CAN RUN THROUGH IT
ITS LIKE PERFUME
ITS LIKE RAIN
THIS CHANGE
IS RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS
LIKE AN ADRENALINE RUSH
THIS CHANGE
OH! THIS CHANGE
I FEEL LIKE FLYING THROUGH IT .
I CAN FEEL IT
I WANT TO GLIDE THROUGH IT .
THIS CHANGE
IS SATISFACTORY

You embraced me with your glitterly hands,
When all I could think about was chasing darkness.
Your spiral staircase gave me hope,
When all I could think about was falling down.
Your speech about the world outside came to my rescue,
When my mind was drowning in the ocean of pessimism.
You were a cold edifice when I stepped in at four,
And now as I leave at seventeen , you are a warm home, wrapped in a cocoon, giving me sanguiness.
The concrete beneathe our feet is like a pillar of life, that moulded us right.
I was a lump of wet mud when you took me under your wing,
I cried when I dried because it's time to say goodbye.
I was enthusiastic by the paradise
Of your wonderful aurora
And I didn't know that I would miss this wonderful aurora.
And now as the sun sets,
Our chapter sadly ends.
"Ta-Ta" for now,
"Goodbye for a while".
Until we meet again ,
On a blissful end.

That tiny spot
changed my life
that red little spot defined me
as a woman
i questioned -
why not men.
gift of nature was the answer then.
I'ts been three years
that spot comes every month
oh! it's not so fun
black i have to wear
as if i am mourning someone's death.
bloated up like a hippo
pain is evident on my face
that little spot will be there every month
till i am fifty
oh so fun.

yes you
sitting on the front bench
yes you
science student
yes you with the specs
i thought you were different
that's why i said yes
i know you did not have time
but i just wanted you to care
you were my knight
my beloved
my everything ....

Everything was black
Everything was black
Until you came
Everything was white
Everything was white
Until you smiled
Everything was black
Until you held my hand
Everything was white
Until you kissed me
And now I can't name the colours
Because there are so many
I don't see black now
I just see you.

Ring-a-ring -a roses
Pocket full of posies
Hayi Sha hayi Sha
Only I fell down
Why did I only fall down?
Because you forced me to fall
And then stripped me all
And then you ***** me off
And left me to rot
You ran away
Leaving me in a frenzy sway
I was a stranger to you
A lonely little girl
Playing ringa ringa
A lil girl
A lil girl
A girl to you is just pleasure
I curse you
I was dead
The moment you left
You will be cursed
I swear
You will die and rot in hell
You wicked man with no regrets
You wicked man I hope you die
For stumbling upon my peace and making it cry.
