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...
