the old is gone the new has come

The old is gone the new has come,
A passenger in waiting for the stop,
the belt hangs loosely by her side,
the trees fading in the distance,
a hotel closing down,
a black cloud hangs low,
far more than four years ago,
when th rest are in cheer..
we're sulking and tears brimming,
heroes of the past and present,
the state crumbling,
The old is gone...,
a far cry,
and mummurs are heard,
the new not withstanding,
the new dawn, they claim so bright,
a nation scatters in fright,
Wisdom comes with age,
an adage?
so when the black skies release,
and their childrens children hide,
turning into gatherers of money and fame,
Yet we mourn,the dew not even vapour,
but the leasing starts,
When the old is gone the new comes in...so as i know that the clock never does stop ticking, and the time will come when the makers of the nation will be no more.

Yes, i came to that conclusion after much thought.. you only live once, make the most of it,really. Not to pass on reckless notions but enjoy what you have, the present. Aint nothing better than enjoying damn good pizza ladden with cheese and carbs..heck buy new jeans the next day. Am somewhat petite, and for the longest time ive been fixed on some pair of jeans that used to fit just right but i lost weight for some reason and they dont fit anymore..i could swear i ate pounds of beef and the like and realised, my body functions in its on way. I eat healthy most of the time, my sister wouldnt say so but i think i do. :-) Lets not miss the point here, am writing this to remind not only myself but others like me who are on course to accept what is with their body image. Imperfections are inevitable but beautiful and create a work of art so unique. Confidence starts from the inside and flows outwards, to how you walk, talk and behave. Wrapping a package. As a young woman, and ...

My piece:My peace

The shiver hits, tears drop, reality dawns, heart beats, frantic, the rocking back and forth begins, No one to hold, I surf the waves alone, I slowly taste the water, I gulp, I take it in, the fight in me,slowly fades a bitter sweet release, my flesh gives in, my eyes flutter as they shut, I say a prayer, and wish forever. As i breathe my last, I feel his hands on me, holding so tenderly, grabbing so fiercly, I open my eyes, but am done, i say in my head, I see him shake his head as if he heard, I feel the splash, He cares, He has me in his arms,close to his chest, He holds on to me as we surf the wave to shore, He whispers,'you are loved'.

a necessary hiatus.

It has been a long time, years actually since I penned my thoughts down. I think I needed to grow out in some areas and with growth comes pain. pain creeps up on you, and just stays there. for me it came in all areas, mentally, socially emotionally, physically. It was a period in my life where I got hurt emotionally by people I had come to trust, and I had just got some life changing news. To be real honest I was alone. So I hurt deeply, growth and maturity comes with rediscovery of self. It took me a long time to just let it happen in order for me to heal. It took a toll on me and I was on the verge of depression, bitterness and i couldn't understand how my life had turned upside now. Time does make it easier and i have given myself a lot of that. The important thing for me was to move along with the change and be able to adjust and now that I know that, I adjust accordingly everyday as change truly is inevitable. So I am now a mom,this is one of the reasons I've been on a ...
