All for one, One for all.

A ‘goodnight kiss’ is a type of kiss..

The ‘goodbye kiss’ is also one..

Then there’s also the ‘remember me’ type..

‘Stolen kisses’ are one of the best..

And still some say, ‘first kisses’ are the better..

But there’s another which tastes like a ‘first kiss’..

Yet, longer-lasting like one’s last..

This is the ‘All for one’ kiss..

Which I think everyone should taste..

Not once..Nor twice

But all their kissing lifetime.    

Sound of silence

I hear him ranting

Cursing it seems to him

Ranting is it to me

I do not speak

To do, would break my monopoly

I’m smug in my intelligence

As unforgiving as his curses

Merciless and unyielding

His shouts and my silence

Like the will of two gods

He is harsh

Am i?

My silence will persevere

Not because they say it speaks louder

It is, the only option.

N.B; I wrote this piece after a quarrel with my old man. As it is with parents, you’re wrong even when you’re right and they’re right even when they’re wrong. What’s more? They can curse and you can’t...You wouldn’t dare! So, enter the silence…to counter the violence (Nice rhyme, ain’t it?). Anyways, I miss him and I love him for teaching me valuable life lessons and building this man who wrote what you’re reading now. [Laughs]

Hit and run

If my younger sister were to be cleaning dishes

And it mistakenly fell off her hands

It could be termed to be a ‘hit and run’

Because she wouldn’t tell mum about it

If a group of boys were playing soccer

And the ball mistakenly hit a nearby parked car

Shattering its windscreen

That could also be termed ‘hit and run’

Because they all would vanish in seconds

If I took my dad’s car out

And hit another car on the way

I might run, afraid of being made to pay

That certainly would be a ‘hit and run’

But…

If I plan on falling in love with you

If I finally do like I did

If you allow me love you the way I should

If you trust me never to hurt you

If you love me in return

If we care for each other

Then…

We are both heading for a place I term ‘forever’

And that could never be a ‘hit and run’

Beautiful, isn’t it? Same thing I thought. What you just read is a private communiqué between an admirer and my sister. In other words, a love letter (I wonder if they still exist!). I really shouldn’t have posted this (I could be sued…encroachment on privacy, jack lifting, copyright, intrusion into privacy etc so many charges...lawyers know their stuff!) because it’s supposed to be private but the urge to share was doubly overwhelming…(arrrgghhh! I could almost bite myself!). Anyways, hope y’all liked it? I still wonder if she said yes though…

Mirrors

Mirrors tell tall tales of me

Spin webby yarns of how good I look

Gift me dreams; lofty high

Where only thoughts; dare fly

Mirrors, speak so clearly to me

Let my eardrums drum

You, who is bereft of speech

Throb me near the breast

When you show me, Me

Me, make a painting

Capture me, reflect beauty

Now, then and forever

Sigh with me, lie with me

Hide the lies I tell me

Hide the lines; befriend me

Spare the bags ease my leaden heart/eyes

Mask them wrinkles, lend me amnesia

Mirrors, mirror what I plead you mirror

Glory me, do me honour.. Spare me, horror.
