For you...

For you,

twisted vines of

grape,

clouds of pure

candyfloss

and hills of rolling chocolate

peppered with bits of mint.

For you,

petals of that single rose,

pinker than my cheeks,

rivers of laughter

flowing between us

in a moment of intimacy,

and the scent of

lavender to follow you at your heels

reminding you

that I am

and always will be.

one last dance

This last dance,
Is all it takes
for a mind to say good bye.

This last dance,
when the roses have long dried
and leaves once green
are ready for their bronzing.

Just one last dance,
so i can feel that memory
of your breath
on my skin,
and that signature whisper
that you almost didn't utter
forever branding me
as your silent love.

This last dance,
is all i need to
remember that it wasn't
just a dream,
and then to
forget eyes
that smiled once,
just for me.

This last dance, in appreciation,
because you showed me
that eternity
exists.

Yes, I'm savouring this one last dance,
because you always are
and never will be.

A last dance,
is all a heart needs
to finally let you go.

A Post About Nothing...

some moments last forever- character caricatures

They say that time flies when you're having fun. She wasn't.
"Gosh. What on earth am I doing here?" she thought.
But 'nice' was a thing she did. It's what got her here in the first place.

Sam & Julie. She loved them to bits. But not this much!

"Nice guy," they'd said. "Just do lunch and see what happens."
She could see what happens. Total disaster.

"Kola tonic with lemonade for the lady." She heard his voice to the waiter.
She'd ordered a lime cordial. Nevermind.

"Yes, so as I was saying. I've acquired ten acres of land alongside the
Kayalami racetrack. And all for a song, 'cos the old man says I remind him of his son!" he chuckled.
"And then just this week, my dealer says he can get me prime less 6% for new car."

He was beside himself. She just smiled.
