Desire

I covet your presence but not your time
I covet your empathy but not your pity
I covet your heart but not your emotions
I covet your listening but not your ear
I covet your words but not your speech
I covet your touch but not your hands
I covet your warmth but not your body
I covet your love but not your feelings

POWERFUL WAYS TO USE YOUR NO!

Image
POWERFUL WAYS TO USE YOUR NO! NO! Granted...No is not the easiest word to say for some people because it has always been associated with a lot of negativity. But we know deep down that isn't the truth. NO is one of the most powerful words in our vocabulary! Here are some powerful ways to use your NO. - Say NO to timewasters. These are things that you do but really do not add much value in your life. It could be too much time on Social media or watching Netflix, going out clubbing excessively or too much gossiping with your girls (a little never hurt anyone ). It could also be spending less time with people who add NO value or worth to our lives. Instead, you can look at replacing such activities with learning something new. E.g. crocheting, a new recipe, a new sport or simply spending more time where it is valued and will have a higher return like with your children. - Say NO to negative energy, thoughts and vibes. Evaluate the people and situations in your life and just share no t...

LET IT NOT BE

Let it not be. That like can be called love That knowing someone can be equated to true friendship That a need can become a reason That help can be breed obligation That admiration must turn into desire That enthusiasm can be termed as passion That being thankful should transcend into praise That in seeking freedom we would be bound instead Let not be that we should do that which we ought not to; because we misunderstood ourselves and allowed others to direct our beings Let it not be. - Herispeak

Yearning for the Light

I can feel it. I don’t have to close my eyes or reach deep inside me to feel it. It’s right here on the surface, close by. Close enough for me to touch, yet I cannot. On the days that I do not feel it, it is simply because I get too caught up in the present. I see the pain, I see the failure, I see the lack, I see that which I cannot provide. I see that which I cannot offer.   I see too the looks from people around me. Some are looks of pity, some are empathy, some are sympathy, some apathy pretending to be empathy. In some of the looks, self pride stares back at me and I see the mockery deep in their eyes. I suppose I cannot blame them. Perhaps life has been kinder to them and they have made better decisions than I. But then, perhaps they really are just filled with the pride of life.     It will not last this darkness. I know this. What I wonder however is whether I will survive this. I know I must but will I? Do I have what it takes to ? Only I can answer thes...

Blind Date

I wrote the below piece whilst I was heavily pregnant and dying with curiosity about the little being I carried within. That was back in 2008. I came across it today (27/03/02013) etched on a rough piece of paper and stacked in between piles of paper cleared from old house. Blind Date I wonder what you look like What colour your eyes are The shape of your mouth Your smile...mine or his I can't wait to see your beautiful dimples your lovely thick hair I can't wait to hold you close to me And rub your face against mine It will be a moment I will cherish foreever I can't wait to hear the sound of your voice And the sound of your laughter I can't wait to see your eyes twinkle with glee or mischief One day you will crawl Then you will walk And then you will run But I know you will always be close to my heart You are the love of my life. ------ Dedicated to Levi Kamau Kipkorir Choge
