THE PROPOSAL

11 o’clock, Just sipping my tea, Flipping over the pages of my sisters new magazine, Having a sneak peek, Before I go to sleep, Was deep into thoughts, Something to do with my blog, Was almost dozing off, Before I got a phone call, A friend of mine, Janey, Been long gone, Took hold, So it happened, As the story unfolds, One of those Saturdays, When you wake up late, Forgetting you had a date, Alarmed, You jump out of bed, Up and down, Getting everything ready, Being the sassy dresser she is, Had to don everything right, In a nick of time, She was done, Got to the next available hunk of junk car, Clutch purse at hand, Off to town, Oldonyo Street, Being the meeting point, All along it was a planned proposal by Jeff, Janey had no idea, She got there first, A bit pissed, Being the gentleman he is, Why is he keeping me waiting? After a while he arrived, Apologized for not being on time, Told her they needed to talk, Saying he’ll make it snappy, Held her hands, Slowly he said, It’s been years, But I’m sorry, I’ve been leading you on for so long, This relationship hasn’t been working out for me, I want something complete, Wasn’t easy for me, Had to gather up courage to do this, Shocked by his words, Janey stood glued, Wearing a poker faced expression, She knew she was in for another break up, What do you mean? Tried to blink, But couldn’t hold back the tears, Not again, It was too much for her, One by one, People started to gather, On seeing this, Jeff went on his knees, From his pocket removed the ring, Janey couldn’t believe her eyes, She wept even more, Tears of happiness this time, She’s been waiting for this moment for ages, It was finally here, Another title to her name, Was a sight to behold, Jeff said,

It’s only been four years, But I want you for a lifetime, You are the best I ever had, I want to make you mine, Janey, Will you marry me? You rarely get proposals being done on the streets, This one was unique!

THE ONE.

When it hits your head,
Like where are we headed,
That you can't dismiss,
Gives you chills,
It's deep down to what you feel,
You say my name in the morning,
 You say my name in the evening,
You say my name every time,
That's how much i revolve around your world,
Let us fight for today,
Forget our yesterday,
Await our tomorrow,
Believe in us,
Make it last,
This is love beyond lust,
To you i come first,
 The rest last,
Two hearts now one,
You are my number one fan,
I love you for that,
Let's explore,
Get to see more,
That there is,
Like it has always been,
Not ready to share me with anyone,
You are that mean,
How come,
How long,
Will i still be tied down,
Will you stay with me forever,
Maybe,
Everyday beside me,
Daily,
I've been thinking about you lately,
On the boat we sailing,
Now and then still my source of strength,
The crush you once had,
Now has so many flashbacks,
Even when the rain falls,
You'll still remain my sunshine.

DAY AND NIGHT.

I'm awakened,
Came a bit late,
But if i backdate,
I had always been in the dark,
Until i decided to adopt a light,
Life is full of surprises,
One got me mesmerized,
Nobody's perfect,
Not even me,
We all have flaws,
I once grew fond,
Had that bond,
All along,
I was wrong,
So odd from the one i believed in,
But now i know,
Got me to my toes,
Closed my eyes to what i could see,
Blinded by love,
Didn't for see,
The rage,
Got me caged in,
A lesson learned,
A page turner,
I'm so over and done,
That's how time flies,
But that was then,
That's why i base it as a fairy tale,
Once upon a time,
You had the best,
 But still settled for less,
It's your loss and i drink to that,
I am the best thing you never had,
 That somebody else now does,
You are part of that dream i woke up from,
Because right now am wide awake,
Thanks to you,
Turned out to be a blessing in disguise!

I AM

Walking alone,
Might seem like a long road,
So odd,
On your own,
Until it dawns,
It's not,
Past tense to what's gone,
It's one big yawn,
My new mode,
Makes a few heads nod,
Just a broad hint,
Rail on,
On the scene,
So thankful for being me,
Who else would i have been,
Not everyone would like what they see,
But i mean,
Some wish they could give me a kiss,
On the cheeks,
To them am a queen,
That's how ironic it can be,
I have the will,
Even fighting for that hope that's slim,
It's feeding yourself what you need,
Seeds you'll come to yield,
Can be seen in your deeds,
I believe!

BREATHE

Breathe,
Your eyes blink,
Clock ticks,
Within a nick,
Words sink in,
Don't be quick,
Think,
Breathe,
Have peace,
Don't be enticed,
Be wise,
Might take a while,
See what lies,
Open up your eyes,
Breathe,
The feeling inside,
Wild,
You need no one beside,
To decide,
Precede,
Breathe,
Have a candlelit,
Off the hot seat,
Clench your fist,
Not in for defeat,
Get over it,
Breathe,
Draw the line,
Might not be a next time,
Set your bar high,
Aim for the sky,
Finish the climb,
It's your life!

MY JOURNEY

You are able,
Very capable,
Amiable personality,
Admirable,
You have what it takes,
God's time is the best,
Why the haste,
What's next,
Best,
It had to start with me,
Down on my knees,
Didn't know how to start,
Act,
My quest for being a writer,
Got me writing,
A few had my back,
So thankful for that,
Got me to where I am,
Discovering myself,
Was of help,
Started when I was sixteen,
A teen,
Had many interests,
Wanted something in depth,
Many went musical,
Classical,
That wasn't for me,
For real,
On that part,
My art was different,
Writing and reciting,
That's how I got myself here,
Wasn't really easy,
Getting people reading,
Was so keen,
Not to omit a thing,
A first timer,
Doing something she loved,
Many laughed,
Folks made jokes,
At some point I lost hope,
Couldn't cope,
Thought I wasn't fit,
Almost called it quits,
Wanted to take a break,
Rest,
Something was a miss,
That I could see,
Words can break you,
Be focused,
They'll make you,
Stood my ground,
A profound come back,
Was proud,
In for another round,
Didn't waver,
Quiver,
Had to build up my confidence,
Be content,
My plan of action,
Being devotion,
Talk of passion,
I'm not at the peak,
As I speak,
But watch out for me,
I depict!

BEAUTY OF LIFE

Napepea,

Still flying high,

Why lie,

I’m in cloud nine,

Still the host,

It does cost,

 Pining for what’s lost,

Hold close,

What you desire most,

Critics never sleep,

Let you be,

Always displeased,

I write to inspire,

It’s a lesson you require,

Love,

You will have,

Just seek it from above,

It’s not a deal to be sealed,

As realistic as it seems,

More of a magnetic feel,

That’s deep,

Hurts,

But heals,

One treats you bad,

On your heels,

Don’t always go with the flow,

Because everyone’s doing so,

It’ll hit you like a blow,

Take it slow,

If it makes you cry,

More than you smile,

Say goodbye,

They gave up on you,

 That they knew,

Always celebrate,

Don’t hate,

It’s never too late,

To wait!
