MANZANDONGA!

MANZANDONGA!!

First time I saw her She was glued to her monitor. I moved to her right to greet her: she glanced at me with an intrepid smile and instantly the pupils of my eyes enlarged into bigger circles! 

 WOW!! What a Beauty! The name MANZANDONGA like a bolt from the blue sky unmeditated filled my mouth: my heart gave me no second chance. I had to spew it out and pronounce it! 

 MANZANDONGA!! Said I without fear: as if that was her real name. I had no inkling idea just how she'd receive it! The fear of being rejected started to haunt me. I could only find solace in her resultant affirming smile! 

 I lost my balance completely after this amazing experience: my heartbeat raced miles ahead of me it was obvious, Cupid had gotten the better of me! I struggled the whole day and night trying desperately to withdraw the arrow Cupid had pierced me with…

 Did I bleed? I was not bleeding, but MANZANDONGA... I could feel her in every beat of my heart! It was a fearful thing to imagine myself as the only victim of Cupid's arrow. They say, Cupid can only strike when two hearts are lined up: since only one arrow can be used! Thus melting and fusing the two into ONE LOVE, ONE HEARTBEAT!  

Will she receive my invitation and accept my rose? Will she return my email with a smile or give me the biggest reprimand since my mother? Did she even notice or felt what happened to my heart? O’ poor me how can I act so helplessly foolish in front of her? Did she reed the glow of love in the pupils of mine eyes?

Flood of tormenting questions and what if's haunted me. More than 24 hours later: she affirmed her "resultant smile" and to my pleasant surprise: "Hi, it's Manzandonga!" she introduced herself to me. From here on it was nothing but: 

WATERFALL, PEACE LIKE A RIVER AND THE BIG BLUE SKY. STARRY NIGHTS! MANZANDONGA. MANZANDONGA!! 

ECHOES OF BUBBLING SPRING FILLED MY HEART. SHE'S THERE! SHE'S OUT THERE! SHE'S HERE IN THIS HEART OF MINE: IF ONLY YOU WERE FOR REAL..GIRL. 

IF I DON'T LIVE TO SEE BEAUTY AGAIN. I THANK GOD FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. I SAW IT IN MANZANDONGA!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the...

BETWEEN THE EARS!

  Between The Ears! Hearing in a newborn baby, is one of the earliest activated senses... even before this baby could see. Words get spoken out and start to reverberate around the head and get trapped between the ears before they make sense to the brain. Babies, learn to interpret sign language and by reading lips ahead of understanding the language spoken in their homes. Is it not amazing and refreshing that we learned to smile after seeing our mothers demonstrate their warm smiles and mimicked them joyfully kicking with all fours? Between the ears... Our North and South Poles... sustaining our lives through balanced intelligence. It is hard for me to believe that the balance exerted by my feet originate from the water level maintained between my ears. Nobody understands Trigonometry more than God. Hello. Our bodies and beings are 100% mathematical and 100% Physics. Between the ears... In case no one ever told you this… not even your teachers. Every single pers...

Reflections...  O for the Power of the Written Word! It only takes a single word or two to build a castle in the air. I cannot thank God enough for blessing me with endless words I can configure into any form at any time of the day.  In this Poetic Love Rendition, I leave it up to you, my reader, to make up your mind. What in God's world I'm on about. Enjoy!  If you've been reading my works for all this time without subscribing, you should be ashamed of yourself! If you feel my writings build you up and encourage you in life, what are you still doing?  Subscribing to my Blog and sharing it with your friends; is the greatest favour I will ever ask of you. I spend a great deal of time and sweat when writing these words of life, just for you. I'm not complaining my friend.  God bless you.  Through Her Eyes! The way she smiles and the way she walks, all designed to fascinate and mesmerize my cool. The way she talks and her royal looks which say, I am all ...
