Tissues, Towels, Handkerchiefs!

so essential are the tissue towel & handkerchief,
so close are their roles related, yet,
so different!
so is the same for humans,
so closely are we all related,
so different are our capabilities!

once is the number of times we use the tissue before discarding it,
once used there is no other use for it,
some are the people we do this to,
some are the people we use once and discard,
some are the people who we meet when we are desperate,
and after geting their help discard them.
some of the times we get to call them friends and
some of the times we even dont get to that level! ...how sad

we use the same towel everyday but dont discard it as fast,
we use the it over and over again but its never always close to us
we always leave it behind till when its need arises
we do this to some people and
we are to some people this!
for their repeated interaction we call them friends
friends to whom we run to only when need arises
friends whom we shelve when we are good

the handkerchief kind of friendship
in times of of tears
the hanky is there to wipe the tears away
in times of joy
the handkerchief is there to wipe tears of joy
in times of fun and happiness
the hanky is there always ready to wipe the sweat!
in times of sickness/flu
the hanky is there for the wet & running nose,
it is always there beside us,
we carry it with us wherever we go.

these are the friends we treasure
these are the friends we should all try and make
these are the friends we should all try and be
these are the friends true!!

The world is a bitter place
but lets all strive to make it a better place for each other.

Of The Crimson Pearl

A pearl of indeed,

Just much more priceless

And beautiful than the rest.

Weakened by the sourness of love

Hurt by lies…

Afraid of being all alone

and being crawled on by creatures,

the vision of a rat can make her heart stop!

She is afraid of surrendering her heart

 lest he lets it slip n fall causing it to break...again

cant  bear to face life if she doesn’t possess a dime,

climbs up high all by herself,

 but fears being up there,

she sees things in scarlet and ashen

and not in black n ashen as some of us do

scarlet isn’t for the simple hearted

that means she is Daring!

you can’t silence her!

Ashen also pallid signifies clarity

She doesn’t beat around any bushes but rather runs them over

And goes straight for the jackpot!

She is not afraid to fight for her rights

She wants peace eternal

And knows its fountain

Knows it’s free for everyone

But still reluctant to fetch…

For a moment

for a moment i wouldnt stop thinking of you,

i pictured us chatting the night away,

i pictured us having lunch and dinner dates in town,

i pictured us playing with water on the rocks at the falls,

i pictured us enjoying the 14 falls during the december holidays,

i pictured us us on the banana ride at the amusement park, (Luna)

i pictured myself making dinner for you countless times,

i pictured myself making breakfast for you countless times,

i had n still have the recipes i had formulated just for you,

i couldnt stop myself from thinking of hw beautiful you are,

i couldnt stop thinking of how beautiful your face is,

i couldnt stop myself from seeing us together all the time,

i pictured you keeping me company as i drew your picture,

i pictured you seated next to me as i drove you around to all the most beautiful n romantic places i could think of,

i pictured us taking photos of ourselves in all these exotic places that we would visit,

i pictured us travelling to kampala to have fun,

i pictured us doing shopping there- shopping for clothes n shoes that u liked,

i saw us having fun on the beach of lake victoria in kampala,

i pictured me holding your hand as we strolled,

i pictured us holding hands watching the red sunset,

i pictured u laying on my chest as we watched the sun go down,

i pictured us walking together in the rain and loving every bit n step of it,

i pictured us hugging in the rain, my hands around your waist n yours around my neck,

i pictured us lying on the grass looking up at the clear blue sky on a bright afternoon,

i also pictured us lying on the grass looking at the stars at night,

i pictured us chatting the night away while watching the stars while seated on one of the benches around 'soweto'

i pictured us helping each other out in difficulties,

i pictured us being there 4 each other,

i pictured us on the beach,

i pictured myself holding you in my arms on the beach and gazing deep into your eyes,

i pictured us sitting high on a rock leaning onto each other as we admired the landscape al the way to the horizon in the distance,

i pictured us never wanting to leave the company of each other for the bond we would have between us,

i pictured us seated quietly in a rm n jst enjoying the feel of it- jst the company of each other,

i pictured us gone camping,

i pictured us seated at the entrance of our tent,

i pictured us in the swiming pool,

i pictured the life we would live,

i pictured our family,

i pictured myself introducing you as mine during corporate dinners,

i couldnt help picture hw beautiful you would always look in a newdinner dress
a black one, one with golden patterns or a red one,

i pictured us being in love.

For a moment i thought i had found 'THE ONE'


i still picture u as a friend...

Hope n Joy

when all seems to have gone wrong,

When you seem to have reached the end of the road,

When everyone seems too busy for u,

when everything becomes so dificult,

when you forget what it feels like to experience hapines

when nobody realy cares,

And all this while brokeness realy pinches you realy hard,

And you have no appetite 4 food,

And you are on the verge of giving up,

And you think life is not fair.

And you think God has forsaken you,

And tears well up in your eyes

And your throat gets hot

And you realy hate life,

And all it has to offer,

And you hate yourself,

Just try and remember God has not forsaken you,

Just try and remember that He is going to make everythin ryt,

Just try and remember job in the bible who lost everythn he owned- right from his livestock his buildings even his children and worse stil his health and even the closest person to him-his wife was also against him!! hw worse could it get!!

And all the while God was just there!

And mark you Job hadnt sinned against God to warrant the pain he went thro' it was jst his loyalty being tested!

And we blame God for 'mini' stresses yet we have mightily disobeyed n sinned against him knowingly and unknowingly!

What have you lost so far?

Can we compare ourselves to job at all?

It may really hurt,

It may be really bitter,

But God is there and if you obey his comands he's gona sort u 4 real,

What doesnt kill you might make you feel like it is but in the end ul be much stronger!!

It might not feel like it is ever going to be better bt it sure will be,

In the meantime stop feeling sorry 4 yo' self n begin thanking God for everything He's done 4 u,

And keep on thankin him....

And you wont figure out when the joy set in you,

You wil just find joy and become joyful despite the circumstances,

So cheer up and dont loose youself!!

Just The Way You Are : Bruno Mars

Oh, her eyes, her eyes make the stars look like they're not shinin'
Her hair, her hair falls perfectly without her tryin'
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her, she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think that she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay?
I say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

Her lips, her lips, I could kiss them all day if she'd let me
Her laugh her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy
She's so beautiful
And I tell her everyday

Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for, then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
Girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are

When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are

And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
'Cause girl, you're amazing
Just the way you are, yeah


Awesome lyrics by Bruno Mars 
Luvly track

"Graduation (Friends Forever)"

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of that night in June
I didn't know much of love
But it came too soon
And there was me and you
And then we got real blue
Stay at home talking on the telephone
And we would get so excitedand we'd get so scared
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

[1 chorus]
As we go on
We remember
All the times we
Had together
And as our lives change
From whatever
We will still be
Friends Forever

So if we get the big jobs
And we make the big money
When we look back now
Will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

[Repeat 1 chorus]

La, la, la, la:
Yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la:
We will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us 'round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly


Great lyrics by Vitamin C if u hav't heard the song do it ASAP!!!

Dare You!

Why weep now while you were there all along n never found value in me?
Why cry now yet you dint ever see my use?
Why wail now while all that you ever used that voice was to scorn me?
Why think of me now while you didntt think of me when i was your next door neighbour?
So is it my absence that makes your heart grow fonder for me.. in which case am forever gone..
JUST STOP!!
Stop all the pretense!
Stop all the crap!
Stop all the nonsense!
Stop the 'caring' ur trying to show  the world that u did.. you never did care while i wasthere so dont do it  when im gone.... this is not to you but its to y'all
I'm dead and gone.

A time for everything: A time for THE note

It is said that everything comes to an end
That is if it had a beginning to start with
Beginning of happiness and the end of it
Beginning of a party and the end
beggnning a career and also ending it
Though very important (which i think is overrated), life also comes to an end too.. and believe me it can happen in so many ways!
Far hav i travelled near have i been,
Seen a lot but missed a lot too both in seeing and doing!
Don't u blame me but i assure you no one person can do and see everything that they come across.
Tall n not so dark, artistic n also creative has been the lifestyle.
No too highs but too lows experienced which is not a fair balance... well according to me!
Whats the purpose anyway?
After all the way for us all is six feet under!
So is there a problem if i proceed before the rest of you?
If i don't someone else will do anyway.
Why wait for the inevitable while i can go to it as soon as i want?
This is also considering the fact that the wait aint any juicy either,
It ain't rosy at all and as a matter of fact its all thorny!
The lines are very visible but i don't want you to read em.. read between them.
I don't think its fair to call it quitting.. its only one way of doing it as i said there are many different ways... its faster and also less stressful to mine self.!

A glimpse of hope

The light at the end of the tunnel seems so dim,
So dim that it doesn't seem to be worth the fight,
The fight and struggle to reach for it.
The tunnel is soaked with all kinds of filth,
No air,
Sticky mud,
Heavy stinging stenches that even make my eyes watery and choke me n thereby making the struggle all the more difficult.
What should prevent me from taking the shortcut out...
I ges its just my councience that has kept me alive this far as it is very alive..
Much more alive than i know,
And today was also a great day in the tunnel as i found company,
A shoulder to lean on and this was very motivating,
For a moment i dint lack air,
Get stuck in the mud,
Nor even feel the stinging stench!
I don't think i'l be thinking about the shortcut anytime soon.
Thanx to you my friend from the tunnel.
