A Pretty Woman

She was a bouquet of delight When first she gleam'd upon my sight; A lovely presence the heavens sent To be my life’s ornament; Her eyes like stars that are so rare Just like twilight’s beauty, her dusky hair; The image of her that these words drew I gazed at her as the time flew;...

They Inspire Me

I’ve been lucky to have a few strong characters around me, Some of them older and some younger to me.   I learn from them something new every single day, Be it correcting the words I say or how my thoughts make their way.   Y’all make me realise how privileged and spoilt I am,...

A Reality Check

I was looking forward to seeing you all week, Your presence was all my heart would seek. And as soon as I saw you my heart skipped a beat, “This girl is so special” I just wanted to tweet.   I sat across you and we got talking, Your pleasant presence always so warming. And...

The Day We Met

I knew the day we met That we were meant to be. I knew our fate was set, That you were the one for me.   I didn't even know you, I only knew your name. I wasn't sure what to do, I didn't know who to blame.   I knew I found you attractive,...

The Voice

There is a voice inside of you, That whispers all day long. It’s beautiful and independent and oh so powerful, It’s stronger than a lions heart.   I admire the decisions you make, I admire your grit and determination. I admire your eyes and that cute little smile, I admire your ambition and that feisty...
