True relationships

The more we love, the more we hate. The more we exercise it's the more we ache. The harder we laugh, the more teary our eyes break. The more knowledge we gain the more interests we have. We would think that getting more of one thing would bring satisfaction, but apparently this is not so. Isn't it funny how more attracts more? The more money we earn the more bills we have to pay, and so we strive to make more of the same. The more "likes" we gain, the more posts we have to make to keep likes coming again. It's obvious that people generally want more. More abstract means cluttering our relationships and emotions. In real terms or physically wanting more can potentially become clutter in our homes or other spaces we occupy. As we roll on we gather mass. But is the mass we gather much of what we need? The concept of Minimalism which came about in the 1960's and is associated with visual arts can be juxtaposed with our daily lives. The principle of minimalism i...

This is the moment I look at you and decide this moment is short but long enough to tell you how I feel, yet not long enough to live the feel. I hear your breathing in my ear and feel a blood flush straight to my head in that moment. The moment never stayed for very long so everything is quick. It was surreal how we caressed but never touched and your masculine lips pampered my velvetty lips, in that moment  our embrace held us gently close to allow only the magical sensation of the moment to go through. In that moment my heart felt refreshed, but the moment would not stay, because moments go as fast as they come.

We met on a rare occasion, no intent at all A cheerful smile and friendly sincere embrace was meant only to be that; But today long after we met I find myself on every waking moment thinking about this stranger. A stranger who share a few ideals as I, why am I being haunted by you. The struggle to let go of something I never had and yet still fighting to hold on. The thoughts of us doing the things that friends do breathes comfort to my heart. It's my fantasy and somewhere deep down I hope will come true. Telling you this now will relieve me from this hold you have on my thoughts. It feels right yet painful. Can something feels this be good yet cause pain? Embracing what I feel because I'm ready to let go and move on from this unreal affair. Living with you for all this while in my thoughts now I shall let go gently as much as I can. I ask for nothing because I know there's not much to give and neither do you. My world is gifted with treasures of love yet I have thi...

I look to see for whats its worth when he called out to me," Aunty! Aunty!" Maldo is always pranking the adults in the house so we all got used to him. I remember one afternoon while his mom was at the back of the yard roasting breadfruit on the outside coal stove, Maldo ran up to her hysterically screaming "oh my gosh, oh my gosh! Mommy there's a lizard on the back of your shirt! His mom being afraid of lizards, frantically jumped up and stepped into the burning coal fire where the breadfruit was being roasted and hurt herself. Of course, this was one of Maldo's prank which caused a great deal of panic and anger that afternoon. He seemed remorseful and penitent at the time; however, that was short lived. He seemed to enjoy every moment of his pranks never mind the frustration they caused. There were 8 of us living in the family house. Our mom and dad, my sister and her family of four. Maldo was my nephew the second of two kids for my sister. He was 10 ye...
