Slow Down Child | POEM

I wrote this poem a few weeks ago and I recently came across it. It's one of those poems written in the moment and put aside. But reading it again, I was struck by how similar it is to another poem I wrote a  while ago which was borne out of a period of realization. Rather…

I Wait | Poem

Patiently, I wait As the sun pierces through And the first light of dawn appears As the gloomy night becomes glazed over And shadows hastily disappear   Patiently I wait As the thousandth seminar finally ends And I wearily shut the tenth book of the day As I sit, urging time to pass by And…

And There Was Light

I recently moved to a new city; thousands of miles from family, friends and people I know. While planning my move, I contacted friends to find out if anyone possibly knew someone in this city I was going to and thankfully, a friend had another friend who had just recently relocated from there. I got…

Irony of Life | Poem

Can I not have tomorrow already? Served on a gold platter or no, disposables I’ll take it With its gloom, uncertainty and desires, I’ll treasure it Whether it’ll be my last or the first of many, I want it However I look at it It’s got to be better than today Oh, give me tomorrow…

Life Hasn’t Changed; I Just Got Older

I’ve recently come to realise that maturity doesn’t occur suddenly. People just don’t turn a certain age and become mature. Rather, maturity is a process; it takes time. And more often than not, the realisation of maturity is sudden. However, when the individual thinks back, they are able to see, even if vaguely, the many…

Take it slow | Poem

I wish I could turn back the clock Turn back the clock to yesterday Yesterday when you were still here When the sky was still blue When the sun was mild Yesterday when laughter filled the air When the breeze brought good news When smiling wasn’t such a chore.     I wish I could…

Extra Luggage

I was packing for trip recently and right now I can confidently say it was the worst packing I've ever had to do. I mean, why couldn't the scale just show the right weight😢? It was frustrating, annoying, tiring and mentally tasking to say the least. I had to take intentional breaks to clear my…

Double Standards

I was on the bus on my way home after a normal day at work. As usual my ears were plugged, tuned to Carrie underwood at good volume so that I may possibly survive the unnecessarily long ride, terrible driving and the thousands and one abuses that are bound to fly out of car windows…

When You Want To But It’s Difficult

A post by Debby on her blog spoke to me on levels I doubt she understood Whether you’re struggling with an addiction, a behaviour strait, a dangerous habit, depression, whatever it is; know this, you are not alone. I’ve wanted someone to tell me that for so long. Understanding that your situation is not singularly unique…

It’s Been a Minute

I really apologise for my inconsistency the last two weeks. Everything's just been happening fast around here. I've written a couple of posts for the blog but I haven't just been able to set out time to edit and post them. So many new things coming. Isn't it funny how we could both love and…
