    Because I love you.

    Hi guys in this week’s post I want to appreciate love, the kindness that it swells in one’s heart,  the yearning and grief it brings but mostly the joy. Valentine’s Day is around the corner why not start early before you get tired of reading about it that day. Share with someone you love😘. Because I love you, I’ll burn bridges to see us be I’ll freeze time to stay just a bit longer I’ll stay up late until I know you’re fine Because I love you, Happiness ceases when you endure pain Daylight dwindles without you near Stars hush with each tear Because I love you, I will wait…

    Maya’s thoughts

    She stood there looking outside the mellow drapes that hung high up the window. The site was beautiful the thought of waking up to trees and birds chirping in a house filled with all that life could offer. Seeing the sunrise, the beauty that was all a fault of one star being too close to the earth, but such beauty made her afford a smile, the thought alone made Maya want to sell her soul for a life with such satisfaction. It was better than her crappy apartment along Ngara where all she heard were buses honking day and night and couldn’t catch a glimpse of the sun or stars even…

    Dear first love,

    This weekend lets remember our first love, that first time we experienced this weird tingly feeling called love however many months or years ago it was and have fun with the memory. So this song is definitely o your playlist if you are my audience: Hello, how are you, i was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet, to go over everything, they say time is supposed to heal you but i ain’t done much healing, Adele really missed love in this one, the craziness that came with loving someone, the level we compromised, wololo😄 the risks we were willing to take for this first love of…

    I DIDN’T KNOW

    But did I really not know, did I really think I could get away with it? How so? I guess not, when its clear the whole earth knows the secrets. Those you thought were buried in the tombstones of your ancestors, they spring up, like larva at the onset of a fault, like a disturbing dripping tap, drop by drop, my brain grows closer to insanity. Am I however not insane already, aren’t you, aren’t we all, pretending to be sane for the sake of acceptance in society, for the community to deem us worthy? As a child I anticipated to grow up and see this life I was so shielded from, to…

    Drained:'(

    She couldn’t go up the stairs without a struggle. She couldn’t bend without a mourn. She couldn’t fit in her own clothes that fit the week before. She felt that she weighed probably 150kgs but she wasn’t even halfway there. All she wanted was to be that girl! The shiny hair, the abs the perfect posture, the brains…. She wanted it all, I mean who doesn’t? She was vain, but hadn’t been like this forever. It was for him. For the one who saw her in her true light. The one who made her smile. She wanted to be perfect for him. She wanted to achieve that which she yearned…

    Stuck

    I sat there waiting, He was to come home, He called, he wrote, Something he didn’t do for days. I missed him, Too much to think straight Or realize that I stood for 4hrs Untouched Unmoved Waiting I heard several trains screech Coming up to a halt My face lit up My back straightened But he wasn’t among them “Just a few more minutes” I said inside “He’ll be here any minute” The voice came again “He promised didn’t he?” Two hours later… The final train docked And as the last man alighted I saw him I saw my love Endowed in his amour His head well above his shoulders…
