African Love Story

Love, so simple in all its complexity, Or made complex in its simplicity as we dare not give up pride in fear of rejection, but if we never take the risk, will we ever be able to truly love?

The phrase

"You don't need me", were the words that shrivelled out of his mouth A phrase containing more meaning than the four words it contains His expression came from a place of pain, Pain so vivid, we could not escape the urge to share the burden of his heart His expression came from a place of…

Voice

In her mind, things are less complex, In her mind, all things make sense; The reasons we are so different, the answers to all our problems.   See in her naive mind, the solution to her aching soul is as simple as a single touch; A shoulder to rest her heavy mind on, A soldier,…

Descry

Worry and fear fill her head, she has never felt so lone. Weaken by life's events has left her to fend on her own.

It

Letter to you

Dear young woman, This goes out to you my inner being, How fragile you may be, thinking the world has nothing good to offer except hardships. I can't promise you that it will get better, I can't tell you that lies in this letter. I want you to know that its OK be confused, its…

Truth
