Walking There

Image
You were fair company but a bad companion. You stabbed me with your lies, in my back. While I was the only one who was ready to stand with you forever.  Was everything between us a lie? Did you ever love me at all? Did you find happiness? I hope not, I wish never. I want to see you miserable always. You are the most selfish person I've ever met, you couldn't see anyone beyond yourself. I'm glad I no longer have to see you.  You made me cry, you have made me cry so much and I was stupid enough to believe you were the reason for my happiness. You made me cry.  I've walked in the waves seeing them come and go, they are in a journey like all of us. I've written words, they remain, long after the person is gone, words are more permanent in history.  What about me threatens you? Why can you not look me in the eye and talk. I never wanted to hurt you. Your happiness was most important to me. You've come to hold my hand at a time when I least expected it. I didn't w...

5 Things To Do When You Are In a Lockdown

While we're bored and locked down with almost 0 socializing, it can get overwhelming to be indoors all the time especially people like us who've been used to heading out to the office everyday at least 5 times a week. But here are a few things you can do while you're quarantined that'll help you get through all this extra time you may have found on your hands: Read a book - yes now's the time to pick up that book you've been thinking of reading since forever. just open it and start reading, there's no better time than now to do it. Reading can be more fun than watching tv (how much of it can you watch?), so go on pick up a book and read it! if you're a slow reader aim to read at least 25 pages, and if you're a quick reader aim for at least 100 pages a day? But then that's just me being me, pick your own pace, the important thing is for you to pick up a book and read! Clean up and organize - with a wardrobe like mine (automatic I lik...

Will You Teach Me?

I smile when I think about you, I feel positivity, I feel something is coming; I’m waiting for you to arrive. When I think about you I feel a glow from within as no one has ever been able to ignite this flame within me. I don’t even know what to call this flame. It burns within me bright and warm yet it does not burn me, it makes me happy! I am happy when I think about you. I want to be with you, for only you are the light I see that shines around me to make things bright, I see you as the moon in the dark night, I see you as a cloud on a scorching day. I see you as the person to hold my hand and guide me in to maze where I’ll be able to find myself by losing myself. I want to be lost, to be found by you. I want you to find me for I am lost. I want you to guide me and take me where I belong. I have lived a life that has fulfilled me but a moment with you has left me incomplete; I want you to complete me. Find my broken pieces and put them together. Make me whole, I want to b...

Strange Time

It’s a strange time to go out to the beach with the family, like who goes for a picnic to the beach after sunset? Oh well what I can say I come from The Addam’s Family! We’re all stuffed in our car and driving to the beach, there are too many people here, why does half the city want to come to the beach at this hour? Oh damn! I just noticed a whole bunch of people I know, I think I’ll just avoid eye contact and no one will come over to say hi to me. I can’t see the water from here; did someone say the beach is further away? Oh shoot I have to walk up to the water then. The sand feels really cool and smooth under my feet I think that’s the best thing about a beach the sand, its soft and moulds under you foot and takes the shape that makes you most comfortable. There are too many people I know, are they all waiting or something to happen? Looks like there’s a party going on, no body invited me to this party! Fine I’ll just ignore everyone and head out the water, I’d like to take...

Trapped in Time

Image
They had just moved into a new house; the wife was not so excited, something was bothering her when her husband asked what it was she was unable to tell him clearly what the reason was. The new house was just new to them, in architecture the house had been standing proudly for over a century, with a lively history of past owners. The husband and wife didn’t know these stories; they never inquired much before moving. In a hurry to get the house before someone else did they hurried around with the paper work to become the owners of a spectacular house that was the reason for envy among all their acquaintances. The house was old, the outside was strong and could withstand time but the inside had a gloom that didn’t leave even when the wide windows were left open to allow the sunlight to wash over the rooms. The wife mentioned this in passing to her husband who told her that she was being paranoid, and basically just missing her old home. The old house came with a few pieces of ...

Sister at Distance

It’s sad to lose your sister to distance; for a person who stays by you day and night, gets married and moves away and then all you are left with is a void. A void that no one else can fill, there are times when you want to share the tiniest of things with her and she’s not around. The only thing that keeps you connected is Whatsapp and Facebook and Instagram. When through social media you are able to keep tabs on her, you know what’s happening in her life, although you want to be part of everything that happens in her life you realize that that’s never going to happen and you just have to distance yourself from her, because her priorities in life have changed, she’s got another family to take care of and your own urgencies can wait. You will continue to be a part of her life that has taken a cyclone turn and although you’re glad you’re not part of the whirlpool, you’re a sidelined spectator watching her from a distance. Our connection now just remains limited to the mobile ...
