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...
Fading With The Stars! The difference is very plain to see, no matter how much you try to ignore the skies above your head. You can try your best to walk as straight as possible without lifting your head up but guess what? The horizon will flip you back to the skies: the space in between is where our thoughts fly easily without any impediments. Would you believe it if I told you that you really do not need wings to fly? God gave all the wings to the birds of heaven and to His holy angels. Angels and birds need no imaginations to know how flying is like. We are the real birds of heaven when it comes to flying and soaring. When I was a boy, it was hard for me to walk around with my head bowed without bumping against somebody walking in the opposite direction. My world and my town did not look anything like what I see today: everything has changed. I feel like my original artist who first painted my world had died; what is going on? Fading with the stars may seem like ...
My Epithalamium To Thembi Love is life's mustard seed, crafted to preamble us at conception: hidden deep inside a mother's womb. Love, a first after the first beat began to drum up the foetal heart: a microcosm of life in progress. Love, infusion of life inside a tiny blob, a scintillating, exhilarating dance between man's seed and an egg. As in a dream, in a flash, one day; under the blue skyed morning, she dashed before my eyes: I staggered with hidden admiration . My mind didn't notice immediately, as my heart pulsated in blizzard beats: leaving me bleeding and wryly smitten. A simple greeting, and honest handshake, followed by candid smiles and muted joy, I had to look on as she turned to go. A new sun, new moon and new stars, had been created and added that day: when two worlds collided and formed a new clime and new cosmos for two. I saw beauty, touched and breathed love, my world commixed and cranked up in high ovulated pitch of sweet dreams accrued: Cupid ha...
