Quiet library,Long itinerary,but I may leave before those who came before me, The loud silence calms me, The occasional muffled noises let me know this can’t be a cemeteryThe sound of the music coming from the earphones of the one next to me,A brief bout of laughter,Then silence again,The heavy set smell of the dust-collecting…… Continue reading Quiet Library

RANDOM
Bleeding pains Burdened hearts We don’t always get what we want, Should we deprive others of their joy? Broken bonds, Open wounds, A world full of broken people. How do we heal? If we could laugh our hardest. Cry when we ought to. Say exactly how we feel, Not act like we have everything figured…… Continue reading RANDOM
LEFT THE 99
Almost dangerously carved with guilt, My own humiliation runs deep, blood, Stained the walls of my heart, Because He left the 99 and came after me, To rescue me with His grace and love, Incomparable, Undeserving, Incomprehensible love of God, That holds me close, He left the 99 even though I was one problem, Cradled…… Continue reading LEFT THE 99
IN THE ER
When I sat here last night it was pitch black, In the waiting room of your presence, fear was no respecter of me, They asked me what I was looking for, I said hope, They asked me what I was fighting for, I said peace of mind, A believer and here I was, marching to…… Continue reading IN THE ER
THE GREATEST LOVE STORY
God’s gift to the world, and not His only one, Jesus Christ, born to a woman who before the announcement of his conception, Did not know she was carrying her own Saviour in her belly, He would go on to endure a kind of torture that even a sinner would avoid, Being blameless, white as…… Continue reading THE GREATEST LOVE STORY
OH DEER
Pretty lies, pretty eyes but pretty scared, like a deer caught in the headlights, I knew my time had come, I was falling in love with an image of you, a song of you run miles intertwined in my mind, your imperfections could not stop me, they only helped me to see through your perfect,…… Continue reading OH DEER
Home(where the heart is)
You will always be home. When I have done it all I will come back to you and stay here until my last breathe. Promise me you will never change. They say home is where the heart is. I find that to be true. Memories of my early years, those I shared with you. This…… Continue reading Home(where the heart is)
SIX AGAIN
I remember having a debacle over which went into the bowl first; cereal or milk, I remember thinking that babies came directly from Heaven, I remember thinking that Santa Claus was real and that I needed to be on his nice list, That the Tooth Fairy would exchange my tooth for a few bank notes,…… Continue reading SIX AGAIN
Just Time
It’s just a matter of time…. Which we think we don’t have Because our mates are getting married Others a bagging degrees Some others have started their own businesses. But who is counting? It’s just a matter of time……. We are too one sided to see the other side. Those who fell ill. All those…… Continue reading Just Time
My Long Lost Friend You.
And even though you already know how much I love and cherish you, because you do, I will always hold a special place in my heart for you, Those long nights we spent talking for forever, Call logs lit up with your name, and forget about those days I saw you, I will forever hold…… Continue reading My Long Lost Friend You.
