Please stay

When “Let Me Go”

Is “I want you to stay”

“For the love of God, set yourself free.”

Pushing away, yet needing so much,

Sacrificing all for idealism you clutch.

Stupidity you thought you never caught 

Now weighs you down, like tangled knots

Do yourself a favor: live,

Breathe deep, 

take what life can give.

Eat, pray, love and repeat

for God’s sake, please,

Unshackle yee soul and findeth thy peace.

We act cool but deep within

We keep talking 

Saying everything 

But not what we feel

We fill in the blanks yet they still remain,

Spaces that words can’t truly explain.

We keep it clean 

We’re careful with the sheets, 

Keep tidy and neat,

Playing it safe with strategies discreet.

We say it all, yet miss what we plead,

Dancing around the words we need

Fire🔥

You are needy, you crave, you yearn,

You are possessive, 

you want it with every turn.

You’re passionate, firey, dont stop the burn 

You are loving, lifting hearts higher.

You receive with arms open wide,

Be proud of the obsession, don’t hide.

You are me, why fight?

Gods Grace 🙏🏾

Instinctively, I know the game of chess,
Playing my role in this hunger quest.
Some say “checkmate” first,

I’m the late bloomer guest,
Steadily building my little nest.
By God’s grace and Grandma’s rest,


And for sure, the air I breathe is my witness.
I play my part here and there,
Watch the magic stars descend,
Take notes, reassess,
But never relent.

Rockstar pose, wanting the best,

..but never without zest

The Moment

But one day she’ll leave this earthly spot.

When she shuts her eyes,

starting the process of glimpsing inward

she’ll clearly see,

The mornings fresh dew

In the Norderplantsoen

She’ll recall the thousand grabs in Bali’s air,

She’ll then dwell on her first love’s sweet, awkward stare.

Days she yelled for him to stop the gazing flare

Oh and the gazebo,

Were they stood under at night.

She’ll remember days of dreaming bright,

Of futures shaped in hopeful light.

She’ll remember crafting her own fate,

From life’s ordained mistreat’s,

Searching for the good and great,

Continental debates ..

And maybe she’ll remember too,

The one who’s reading this, that’s you.

Me myself and Irene

Irene, she’ll digress

Roses will cure her pain,

A Cinderella dress, will make her love again.

A sweet candlelight dinner,

Enchanté, Bordeaux red wine,

flowing like a river.

With grace, she‘ll ignore the mess,

Shes Just a pretty face, on the reign

All untrue, but let’s fuel the flame
