Loud!!!! damn smack straight into the middle of my life.…then slowly became the CENTRE of my life. So don’t think I’ll let you leaving un-FUCKING-announced/ …

lives past

Some day I’ll talk about that night. The night I met you. How we stayed up for hours then snuggled, exhausted, but aching for the moment to last. How we clung to that moment like lovers reunited. And one day I’ll talk about another night. The night that cemented it for…

another SADC gent

I’m really afraid it will happen. That I will wake up & see you as just a friend, my past even; no longer be this giddy deeply in like version of me. I’ll realise I’m over you. I won’t miss you anymore. I will stop seeking you. …

49. conversations with my sisters

there is but one guarantee about life; from the moment we are born we begin to die. life, may be summed by cries and drowning in pain. that pain may drag you down like an anchor round your knees. and life, may be summed by smiles and suffocating on joy. that…

amboseli

A ravaging thirst. Uncontrollable thirst. Dry crackling under feet sun beating down, breeze adding to the torment; blowing hot air & salty dust, on the verge of a wild frenzy.
