RING!

With this ring i thee wed
With this ring i promise to be faithful and true.

Bullshit!

What happened to the vows we said?
What happened to our words being our bond?
What happened to being faithful?

Wearing that ring became a chore
That ring became the yoke
The burden that represented our problems
Removing it made us forget us.

It made us lie that we are free
Free to do as we please
Free to lie and sleep around
We put it in the draw and forget us
Forgot what we meant to each other
Forgot our vows to each other
Forgot our love for each other.

Why are you looking at your finger now?
Do you feel guilty now?
Yes?
No?
Oh please tell me another
Don't hate me
Hate the deed that made you take off that ring.

THANK YOU!

It's that time of the year that we count our blessings.
It's that time of the year where we take a back sit and reflect on the year past.
It's that time of the year that we take stock of the good and bad.
It's that time of the year where we count our blessings for the countless beautiful souls that have touched us.
It's that time of the year that i thank God for all of you.
I wouldn't be where i am without you
I wouldn't be where i am without God's guidance
I wouldn't be where i am without stumbling, falling and getting up to find my way again
I wouldn't be where i am if i didn't have my family, friends and fans
I say thank you for your support and taking time to read my work
I say thank you and i hope to continue my journey with you.

A special shout out to Leche,Cathy,Emm and Nessa - it has been a year of pain, tears, laughs and smiles - you have helped me pull through.

Not forgetting Ken,Paul (awaiting your album), Maich, William,Desire(said with a kao accent), Le Chatelier, Dennis Poeta, Rix, #fatumasvoice and the awesome Kerpa group among others.

Not forgetting my awesome daughter-Zoe  who is my source of inspiration and constant joy. I love you sweetheart.

Thank you. I hope to see you in 2014.

TALES AND LIES

Why would you?
How could you?
Why would you break my trust?
Why would you create this beautiful story
Only to discover it was too long to keep up with
Oh wait
I think i know the answer
I was naive to trust you
I was naive to like you
I was just that girl next door who was beginning to put her heart out for you
I made a decision to say it
I guess you saved me
Your lie was my blessing in disguise.

Nothing is as it seems until the veil reveals.

PIECE

Slice me

Dice me

Chop me

Add sauce

A little pepper

A dash of black pepper

Give me that tingle

I feel the butterflies in my tummy

I see the fire in your eyes

I watch you

You watch me

Lick your lips after the taste

Moist my lips after the sip

Enjoy while it lasts

Savor the moment.

THE CHORE!

It used to be enjoyable
It used to be wonderful
Breathtaking
Something i used to look forward to
Now
I don't try
I don't make that special effort
I don't bother dressing up and getting pampered.

It has become an afterthought
It has become a walk in the park
It has become something that i can do without
Don't ask why
Honestly,
I don't get satisfaction
It just died
Died an unatural death
I can't apologize
That doesn't feel right
It has become
It is just a chore.
