Latest trend to hit South African streets!!!!

Latest trend to hit South African streets!!!!
First the 2010 construction workers laid the path after it had been less trampled on for a while, and then the transport people gave it a test drive. Doctors came to aid the cause, and the municipal workers had a go (at the expense of the national funds of course). Textile industry employees wore the jacket of honour too. Telkom is busy at it now (I guess we can’t say break down in communication in the same sentence, can we?), and now Eskom is set to fuel this growing craze!
Now all of us regular fashionistas know that the way to get a fad out is to take one big dose of it. Everyone doing it at the same time and in no time at all everyone is sick of it, and we move on to newer things... Just a thought

Gear Shift.

Have you ever been in a moment and from a very random but sincere place in your mind – a penny drops?
You get that thought that realization that you are selling yourself short?

Well it’s time for a GEAR SHIFT!
It’s time to step up a notch and move into the right lane. Old mentalities are like worn tires. They don’t take well and they can put your life in danger. How long will we persist in living life in old models when the spunky new version (the truth) is staring us right in the face.
We have been called to greater things. We have absolutely no need to settle for second best.

It is in us to be great. Yes! Us! We are children of the most high! In him we are more than conquerors! Although our character is constantly under construction we are valuable!

Now I’m not saying we need to walk around with our heads in the clouds totally oblivious to the reality of our lives, but I say we need to maintain the attitude that we are worth it! We can attain that which we seek and reach for. As long as we keep God in our drivers’ seat, we are assured safe travel and arrival at our destination.

I’m taking up my new model and I plan to kick into drive and let God do the rest. His navigation system is far better than mine. He knows my destination. He knows where I need improve on my sharp turns and he helps me around the bends.

So what is this great thought?
I AM – who I am
I WILL BE – whatever I need to be
I AM – loved.

“He who is in me is greater than he that is in the world”

Feel the love.

Skid Marks

Skid marks…

You cruised into my ring
And drove through my walls
Like an obliging citizen you kept coins in my meter
Paying your toll on my lane – Until you stopped

You spun along for a while
Coming round my way
Dropping by everyday
Became a regular you did – Until you stopped

You used to screech to a halt by my place
I knew the sound of your tyres
You left tread marks on my curb,
On your way out – Until you stopped

When I look around all I see are your tracks
Shattered window glass
Your skid marks on my turf

But my track has undergone reconstruction
And you need to really be on your way now
Dust your shoes…
Pick up your keys
Rev your engine
And be gone
… You don’t belong here
… oh and pickup your bumper on your way out – It don’t compliment my swag

One Echo

I was asked to compose a poem for a friend of mine for the inside of a wedding program... Its not often when it just falls in place - First time round:)

One Echo

Like sea shells gathered on a sun kissed beach
Echo me a song of love
Echo me a promise of forever
Echo me a pray for joy everlasting
And when all is done hold my hand

Like sea shells frolicking on constant waters
Be my love as I am your beloved
Be the glimmer in my eye whenever I see you
Be the North Star that will forever guide me home
Be mine

So as sea shells gather on sun kissed beaches
And frolick on constant waters
Today I make my love made known,
My intricate engravings here echo my solemn word
Two sea shells, One echo
Our Love

Heads Up!

Heads Up!
Well , well, well, There she is
Lady of her own, Shaken – not broken
Standing, even if its on a limp foot
Smiling in spite of the thorn in her side
Real because she lives, She has survived
Life didn’t finish her , She lives
Love failed her, but she still resists the disappointment
The temptation to fold over , and give up

Purpose drives her, love inspires her
And dispite life’s toll
She exsists, pursists, loves, lives
She may be you, She may be me…true
Woman you are strong, and someone needs you to survive, Phambili!
It’s the only way
One love, One chance, One live
To inspire, to change, to motivate and to make great, an exsistence

To the dry soil that gave birth to us, to the storms that shoke us
And the meteors that tried to smoother us
We are stronger, refined and wise round about now
So like a cowering dog with its tail between its legs
Negativity be gone, sadness you have no home here
And your memory is buried so deep within the foundations of our dreams of empires
that your snout could never imagine to see that light
She is taking hold now…

Woman take hold of what is yours
Your dreams, your life, your pride and self worth
You are a Queen, a survivor, an inspiration
Heads Up fellas ..this one is a keeper

Sisters of Hope

Sisters of hope


It has been a long haul to the new year
So I would just like to dedicate this following poem I wrote to all my sistaz who had a tough year last year.
2008 is going to be a fresh year…embrace it and remember… time heals most wounds,

To the sister who struggled to be free,
To the sister who didn’t have a voice,
To the sister who was scared too go home,
To the sister who couldn’t sleep,
To the sister who couldn’t find love
To the sister who didn’t have faith
To the sister who was hurt

Arise sisters who survive, divaz of destiney, women of worth. There’s hope.

Hope that our shackles can be broken
Hope that we can find our voice and be heard
Hope that home will be where the heart is and the heart is drawn to family
Hope that we will find rest in our inner most being
Hope that love has found us already
Hope that faith knows us by name,
Hope brings healing it brings joy, embrace it
Hope was born in us and it has brought us here. We have survived, we have traveled that road.

We are hopeful for tomorrow because we have survived through yesterday, live through today and have a vision for tomorrow.

Lots of love

laying it down!

There is no day better than today for rhythmn and rhyme
Poetry and flowetry
there's no day better than today for imagination overide
Conservation subside
lets lay it down for the world to enjoy
to show love to those that our charms employ
I'm done with the rhyming ..Now I 'm gonna lay it like a brick
They aint gonna know what made my head tick
When i'm through with this
they wont be calling me a chick...
Word!!
