Home is where the heart is!

Ingwavuma-KwaZulu Natal, South Africa “Looking back on a childhood filled with events and memories, I find it rather difficult to pick one that leaves me with the fabled “warm and fuzzy feelings”. On the earth like an abandoned child there sits the askew box house(shack) with sagging roofing, cracked floors, broken windows and crumbling walls […]

Dear Today

Its been long since I last felt okay…Being okay has become an empty word and a distant memory. My life is so hard right now, I honestly can’t tell what’s wrong, I just feel sad, angry, lonely and broken inside of me. I smile a lot and make those around me feel okay while I […]

Decisions

Decisions are shaped by the utterances we rarely think of at first. They shape our destinies much like a sculptor morphs marble. A whole destiny can unfold out of a single decision. But some of us seem to be followed by the darkness of our fears. This darkness overwhelms then overshadows our achievements. So do […]

I am Africa

I dream of a different picture, of a different lifestyle in Africa the one place I call home because Africa you are simply mine. The drums of Africa still beat in my heart as Africa is where my heart resides even when I am long gone and far away. My African roots made me […]

Dear EX…

It all began like a reverse fairytale starting with happily ever after. in the beginning, your eyes were more powerful than your lies and someone like you was incapable of sin. Believe me when I say you had me. But I was never your girlfriend. You had my heart in strings but I was never your […]

When I Look back

Already my childhood seems far away from a remote age, faded and bittersweet, like dried flowers. Perhaps the echoes of people we once loved still linger in the places we frequently visited with them and that is why we go back… Not so to remember them as to feel them… Looking back and wondering if it could […]

History

I am sure most of you if not all always ask yourselves what really is history where it is derived from, or even where it is heading and the first thought is that of apartheid. A well-known definition is that; it is the study of past events but, history is more than facts and numbers. It […]

My love

To the Ace of my heart, the pilot of my dreams. The joy of my life, the quiet place I go to in the dark night. The bright morning sun of my soul at dawn. The bright shining star in my sky I love you. I believe in love, at first sight, because I have been loving […]

Once you capture my heart I’m yours for good.

If I date you, the goal is to get married to you, build with you, grow with you. I’m not dating you just to pass time I see potential in you. I don’t fear commitment, I fear wasting my time. When we first met I honestly had no idea that you would be so important to […]

I have lived a life of pain..

That’s the thing about pain it demands to be felt. Stuck in the world that preaches love yet demonstrates hate. Just because I am strong enough to handle pain, does not mean I deserve it. I wear poverty like my own skin, it whirls me like the katabatic winds of Antarctica. Like an abandoned child there […]
