It’s you

Like a whirling wind

You swept me off my feet

Like the sun

You shine so bright

Like a fishing net

You’ve captured my heart

You are the fairest of them all

Different from the rest

There is none like you

In your embrace

I find solace

Create a permanent room

Cos I’ve come to stay for real

I want to build memories that will last a lifetime with you

I want to be there during the good and bad times

I want to grow old with you

I want to wake up to see you every morning

With you, eternity looks too short

Two sides of a coin

They said you can achieve anything you want

But they also said some people will try to hold you back

They said you can make it in life

But they also said there will be obstacles on the road to success

They said be positive

But they also said it’s easier said than done

They said friends are there to catch you when you fall

But they also said some friends will make or watch you fall

They said money makes the world go round

But they also said money is the root of all evil

They said you just have to be yourself

But they also said some people will not accept you as you are

They said love conquers all

But they also said true love is hard to find

They said you can’t have it all

But they also said some people will still be jealous of you even though they have more

They said you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover

But they also said you’ll be addressed the way you are dressed

They said it’s beautiful

Yet, they said it’s not a bed of roses

Life could be fun, tough, complicated, sweet and unfair sometimes, depending on how we see it

That’s what makes it beautiful

Worlds apart

Your roses are black

Mine are red

I had your back

I don’t care you said

Your sky is green

Mine is blue

I thought you were the cutest thing I’ve ever seen

You treated me like flu

Your water is white

Mine is colourless

I thought life with you is bright

But you cared less

Your leaves are brown

Mine are green

I would gladly give you a crown

But you don’t see me as a queen

Your fire is grey

Mine is red

This is not meant to be, I learnt the hard way

Now I have that stuck in my head

 

There are some people that are not just going in the same direction with you. Don’t waste your time. Some friendships/relationships are not just meant to be. Don’t force it or push it too far. Know when to let go

Life was good, until this happened…

The waters were still

Until that stone was dropped

The cloth was white

Until that blood stained it

The dress was beautiful

Until that rat made a hole in it

The house was magnificent

Until that flood came and destroyed it

The legs were beautiful

Until that car crushed them

The skin was glowing

Until that hot water killed its shine

Adam and Eve were living happily without guilt

Until that serpent came

The ride was smooth

Until that bump obstructed the flow

Life was good and your heart was peaceful

Until you made that decision

Until you took that step

Until you said those words

Until you did that thing



This is what sin does to us. This is what happens when we go in the wrong direction. This is what happens when we let our conscience die. This is what happens when we say those hurtful words that can never be taken back. This is what happens when greed takes over. This is what happens when the wicked ones are left to enjoy and the innocent and harmless ones are made to go through pain. This is what happens when there is bloodshed everywhere. This is what happens when we give in to the pleasure of now without thinking of the torture that may come tomorrow. This is what happens when we take decisions without thinking twice. This is what happens when we side-line God in our life.

It spoils beautiful things. Suddenly or gradually, it kills us. It takes away our peace. It leaves us broken. It makes us hurt people that deserve our love. It draws us away from God. It steals our joy.

Nobody is a saint and nobody is perfect but we can try to work towards it. It’s not easy but it’s not impossible either. Let’s make things right as much as we can. Those that have gone bad may not be able to come back again but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t work on the little left. It’s not too late to make a good change. It’s not too late to stand firm.

I am a beautiful monster

I am small but mighty

Dangerous and deadly

Just ask me out once

And I’ll gladly say yes

I’ll stick with you

As long as you create space for me in your heart

I’ll take control of your heart and head

And you’ll hardly think straight

I’ll tell you lies

I’ll make you believe you are who you are not

I’ll never let you grow

I’ll make you doubt everybody around you

Dine with me

But be rest assured that you won’t eat in peace

I’ll constantly remind you of your past

Make you see how miserable the present is

To the point that you’ll not be able to look at tomorrow in the face

I’ll make you lose battles that you’ve not even fought

Even though you know there is a beautiful view at the top

You may never get there cos I’ll hold you down

Trust me…I’ve got the jazz

I’ll kill your dreams

And make you a shadow of yourself

I can kill you slowly if you let me

Trust me…I’ll do that skilfully

I am a beautiful monster

Who do you think I am?

I am Fear!

My enemies are faith, work, trust and prayers

Join hands with them and you will be able to kick me out

Hold on to me or run to them

The decision is left to you to make

If you are not in a relationship with me yet

Don’t even think of it

I am fear

I’m a beautiful monster
