Cedar Loft iv

she made room for him
in her heart
and accommodated him
within her space

his warm embrace
was her happy place
and the more he opened up
the more she let her guard down

so she invited him to her bower
which seemed divinely decorated for her guest
even though he could tell it was probably in an unaltered state
judging from how she’d always presented herself on their dates
always looking exquisite and making it appear so effortless

he felt quite naturally comfortable
and certainly didn’t feel as though he was out of his element
for she had a fine collection of artistic pieces
which were obviously thoughtfully placed
reflecting her taste, and that he truly appreciated

the clues were subtle and intimate
and he particularly loved the lit candles everywhere
from the loft entrance to her bedside pedestals
and the fragrant atmosphere reminded him of his own lair
only that his had blues like a satin bowerbird’s nest

his reservations about what was for him best
and doubts about whether to enter this intimate phase
were all laid to rest
as they toasted and got absorbed in a tête-à-tête

and as it was getting late
he figured he’d suggest… but before he could relate
she said ‘you’re my bumble bee and I – your red clover
and so would die if you don’t lie down with me’

it all felt so right thus they spent the night
going half on a baby

Uptown Abbey iv

his heart held a modicum of attraction
which quickly intensified that he hastily disregarded the opprobrium
that would inevitably follow all unbefitting association with a betrothed woman

and ripe as the fruit of his passion was
there was clearly no petering out, no separating the pips from the pulp
he had to have her or no one

so wholly… was his want

Why the other girl?

You promised me a fairytale
You promised me a happy ending
You promised a better life
I trusted you, you were my safe haven
I tried to satisfy you, please you but It seems it wasn’t enough
Wasn’t i good enough?
Wasn’t the love i gave you good enough?
I gave up everything i had just to be with you, turned my back from my family and friends
I gave you the best of me
I gave you my heart and soul
I gave you love
I gave you happiness
I gave you my virginity
But Why the other girl?

Mastholen’ ( the Zimbabwean nightmare)

“I’m unable to help you, incapable“I’m unable to help you, incapable… It has little to do with that. Look, listen, labl…
Lebo! ; You’ve lost your first love. Like,… like, listen:

‘Looks like you’ve been lying this whole time
Implying you weren’t lying the last time.
Loosen up, lose the bluff
Luke Chapter five (lazy…)

Lackluster lingerie,
Lingering smells of burnt lasagna,
Liquor, spells and that Inyanga
Leave early, like around twelve
Life’ll surely continue by myself

An ender to happiness

All i see around me are sad faces, eyes full of tears.

An ender to happiness

The moment i said those words it happened that so many words come up to my mind, words like sorrow, depression and heartache
It is mistrious, it happens so fast, sudden, unexpectly
It happens in a blink of an eye

It is like your shadow it follows you everywhere you go, you will never know when it will catch up with you
We live each day wonder of whether we will be able to see the coming day
Some say it is the begining of lonliness, an ender to happiness
Others say it is a curse,bad luck, a calling from heaven but it is death itself, it haunts everyone you will never when it will come to your doorstep

A brand new soul

A brand new soul means new beginings
New life on earth
Filled with pureness,it brings holiness
Filled with hapiness it overwhelms our hearts,puts smiles on faces and makes us see life in a different perspective
It looks so beautiful, so innocent
Like a rose just after it blossomes
Like the sunset
By just looking at it, it brings tears of joy

It unites families
Creates peace between people
It lightens up each day
It is so tiny and fragile that it needs to be groomed,nurtured and well taken care of
It is valuable and precious
The best thing that can happen in a women’s life

Why does it hurt so Bad?

I thought I was over you
I thought I have let you go
I thought I have bended the ties that were linking me to you
But Why does it hurt so Bad everytime i see you with another girl, everytime i think of you i will just break down in tears

I can still feel your hands as you touch me, your breath as you breathe against my face
I can still feel your lips against mine
I can still hear your voice say ”l love you ”, those butterflies when you looked into my eyes

Why does it hurt so Bad
I thought letting go, walking away, bending the ties or getting you out of my mind would be easy but it’s so difficult it’s like you trapped inside of me
