Loser Me

Waiting, waiting, hesitating
Waiting, waiting, contemplating
Waiting, waiting, wasting time

Welcome to Africa, and African time. Where it takes an hour standing in the customs queue, because time be 5:10am, and skeleton staff to process all the people. But that’s okay, because we are not going anywhere (we got ya!), we just all be like, stand in the queue until it be our turn. Not going forward, not going back. Yeah, but I need the bathroom, people!

Yay, baggage collection time. But where is my luggage? Empty carousels everywhere, three with luggage, but none from Perth. Ask an ‘official’ and he be like – look at that one, if not there then look over there, otherwise go that side. No. None. Eventually I saw – a couple stray bags on an empty carousel. Hey that’s mine! A man called to me – those are the last from Perth. Huh? What did I miss? I came off the same flight and stood in the same queue, how come I’m the last to get my luggage? Everyone else been and left? Ah, I get it. I stood in the ‘foreign passport’ queue. Loser.

(Still) Living in a Box

I say the things I’m told to say
I live the way I’m told to live
I smile, I act, I live my life
And when I dream at night
My dreams are free to roam
Outside the box I’m captured in

If Only

The skies blush
A paler shade of pink
While thoughts of mine
Think on all the things
You could do to me

If only

Sometimes

Drought is needed
To welcome rain

Sometimes storms rage
Revealing rainbow skies

Stretching across creation
Hope flickers bright

Finding the Love

You cried for help
I turned away

You screamed to me
I covered my ears

You pleaded
I closed my eyes

Until the sun faded
And all was still

And then

I turned to you
I saw you scream
I heard your plea
I felt your pain

I found the love

Best Things

The Best Things about You

You’re kind
You’re sweet
You’re loving
You do my hair
You help me when I need it
You spoil me
You take me on holidays
You let me do what I want
You play games with me
Best of all
You love me

❤️

Your Shadow

The shadow of your love
Follows me where ever I go

The further I run
The faster I move

The longer
And darker

Your shadow
Becomes
