BUTTERFLIES INSIDE MY STOMACH!

  Butterflies Inside My Stomach! Lord, I’m only a man! When I was just a kid, we used to be fascinated by the colourful butterflies. We loved to play with these harmless heavenly creatures. A real boy wouldn’t dare hurt a butterfly! God never ceases to amaze us. We never knew that this act of playfulness, was the actual lesson of life! Then, one fine sunny morning, there she was, shining brighter than my day. Her eyes looking at me like a Mona Lisa! Her gliding walks made her float right to my face. Like a bolt of lightning, her beautiful smiling face, immediately filled my stomach with butterflies! Wow ! Thembi , how did you do this to me? This once in a lifetime thrill, like puberty, was never repeated! Once I used to chase butterflies but now this woman, has just filled my stomach with the same butterflies. Butterflies inside my stomach! Life O life! Why do you play such gratifying games with the young man, only to leave him high and dry? Dear Cupid. I wonder! O I wonder …...

  Betcha! Y'all enjoy sitting in a row like unserious ducks waiting to be shot! Bang! There goes the first short and yet, nobody runs for cover. Hey, that single shot is just one too many, enough to send everyone scattering! Did you hear it or you are just tone deaf? Even the deaf person would have taken off after the first shot has been fired. Seeing is hearing sometimes to the deaf! Hello. We live in a forever changing and very crowded world. Everybody leaves their home in the morning, to join the already boiling and saturated toxic atmosphere. Betcha! Your teachers never warned you that in this world you never live alone. The minute you shut the door behind, your face is turned towards mixing and blending with the rest of the world. Betcha! You didn’t know that once you’re out in the streets. Your polarity isn’t the only way people observe and yield to. It don’t matter if you are driving or walking, direction never outweighs common sense! This life is always a two-way road. You ...

THESE TEARS!

These Tears... I haven't been feeling well all this month. It's incredible that I have been operating at 50% and less strength. Just how I managed all these new narratives, is nothing short of a miracle. Just last night I almost hit the canvass head first but the furniture and my partner broke my fall. Waking up this and still feeling sort of stronger, I remembered my late big brother. These words came flowing through my heartfelt memories and so, I set off despite myself. The central part of my mourning is that God gave Adam all the herbs to survive thereby. But when death struck there was no herb found to cure grief and mourning. You see, God had created man to live forever hence nothing in the world can heal grief today. Only the grave has the power to set us free from pain of mourning and sadness. This is Pikelela speaking...     These Tears! If the Lord were to offer me one more chance to make one last request in my life. What would my answer be? Come on Sydney, ask anyth...

MY SONG!

-
Image
MEMBERS ONLY.... I especially dedicate this Narattive to all the people who always take a moment to say: THANK YOU! Those of you who once in a while take their time and: COMMENT! Those of you who occassionaly drop a Thank You meme, a Heart meme, a Smile and a spirited emoji! You really have no idea just how far these little gestures go in this heart of mine. To me, they are greater than taking a mandatory offering in a churh. I feel energized every time my followers salute my efforts; to take off your minds once in a while, from the jostling affairs of life.  I really appreacite you for recognizing my talent. You are the reason why God wakes me up in the middle of the night and whispers these words of Life inside my heart. Thank you once more... My heart beats for you in slow motion...💖💗💘 God bless you for always. My Song! Like a book. I am always judged by my cover. One cannot understand the world I live in until the same person get to see it through the lenses of my eyes! ...

MY BUTTERFLY!

  My Butterfly! Living in my lofty apartment and glaring down these industrial buildings they call modern development. The loss of touch with Mother Nature is nausea for my soul. Waking up each morning without the choirs of birds singing for me is worse than the deadliest snakebite. Sounds of machinery, cars, and delivery trucks doing their day and night routine is nothing but jarring music to my soul. With due respect to the birds out there. What else can they do if my community has no trees? There can be no chirping birds without trees, no singing nightingales. Trees are natural platforms for birds. Looking through my windows, I can see jovial swallows heralding the coming rain. It is hard for me to believe this is the same town where I grew up as a boy. O God, we had all kinds of trees and types of fruits for free. But today? Walking down the open fields, we used to be surrounded by thousands of butterfly species all day long! Butterflies would fearlessly land al...

O WHAT A VIEW!

O What A View! If views had no place value in life, God would have said. O no, I might as well sit down here below with my creation! If views had no meaningful value, there'd be no need for Heaven. Our world would start from the ground right up to who knows where. If views carried no meaning, where would the Throne of the Almighty be located? We'd all be living in a dreamless world, no imagination no whatever! Would there be anything compelling and worthy of moving my heart and soul! Just where would the site of beauty be in my being? I cannot imagine myself living in a world without hills and mountains. These rugged planes and endless valleys would not be enough to generate the inner peace which comes with the world of views. Hello. Would it even be possible to arrive at all the names describing God’s creation? O What A View! Did you know that you, yes you, are the architect of your own world? This is not like living in a meaningless and parallel world. O what ...

A TOSSUP!

  A Tossup! What are the odds of one being born into a different world, to different parents? What are the odds of being born under a different name and a different race and in another country? Would you still regard yourself the same person if God were to show you what you could have been, in another time and another world? God gives us only one chance to be born in this life. If my father and mother decided to take a break on the night I was conceived, I wouldn’t be talking to you today! I therefore put it to you that there’s nothing abstract or upsetting about abstract thinking! Life is a tossup. Heads or tails, male or female; you still win and remain the same original person. If the odds of being born into this world are one in half a billion; there’s no what if! There’s only you in this life. Yes, look into your mirror one more time. You are one of a kind! Celebrate yourself like you were dying in 24 hours. I am that I am because I am the result of the toss...
