Looking at floor plans what to do
dream of building house brand new
Single story now best for me
two bathrooms, bedrooms three
Master suite with nice en suite
large walk-in closet would be neat
Kitchen with window above sink
walk-in pantry nice I think
Living in tornado alley storm shelter to
big living room, a study with walls of blue
Want a utility room tired of laundry in kitchen
Screen in front porch a must to mention
Like a patio with grill for cooking outdoors
not a swimming pool but green house for sure
Dinning room with table big enough for eight
detach garage with the house is it's mate
Want central heating and air
back up window unit stored as spare
Good storage and a dog room please
dog shower and groom station for ease
Fenced in yard with fence high
big dogs jump think one flies
Floor plans are fun to explore and find
got to win lottery to build dream house of mine.
Hessy.. Wa Dandora
The shots rang out
The youngsters spewed blood..
On the city streets..
He pulled out a phone a dialled the police.. Come and collect the stupid..
Lest we jump the gun..
He had pre warned them..
As is usual in Dandora's Hessy style
Given them fare to skip town.. or they will be dinning in hell soon..
They chose to stay and perpetrate on their terror..
Knifing innocent civilians with impunity...
So Hessy wa Dandora vanquished them.. The people muttered whispers as they followed their new hero online.
Some do claim he is military.
Yet others claim he is paramilitary
Them others reckon presidents Recce guard..
But what they know is that he is effective..
Street crime has gone down in the suburbs..
Vigilante justice however unquestionable by Hessy.. has been bearing fruits..

A silent forest, where trees are red
The sky is green, where the animals are dead
I come across a flowing river
The sight enough to make me shiver
A sight of a women so frail and thin
The child in her arm longing the warmth of her skin
The sight unfolded, the flowers all dull
I walked furthermore to find a huge pill of skull
They looked as if they were grinning
Like old friends dinning
The crisp cold wind embraced me
Only to reveal the mirror of the sea
My heart leaped out of my chest
To my horror, a man laid to rest
On top of a glowing crest
I ran out of ink
I guess that is where this horror links
To a dream leading to hell
As the temple rung it's last bell
Upon first entering, there's a picture of a lion sitting, staring, and scrutinizing all who enter.
Next, your eyes are drawn to a beautiful picture of a white house backed
by trees and embroidered with a myriad of eye-catching flowers. As you
take a seat at the dinning table, a painting on the wall greets you with
power and solemnity. It's a lion's head, cheek to cheek with the head of
Christ crowned with thorns. Near the fire place, a much smaller and less
colorful picture hangs. It's a picture of my grandmother sitting in a
wheel chair with hospital tags still on her wrist. She smiles with no sign
of care as a great grandson leans over her shoulder. Next to the front door
hangs a picture of, not suggestions, but the 10 commandments.
If it were mandated that only one picture could remain, grandma's picture
wins hands down. You see, it was grandma who shielded and protected me;
who comforted and reassured me, loving me unconditionally. Yes, it's grandma.
My final answer.
She was my best friend a forever companion
We were so close and compassionate in dealings
Travelling, laughing creating beautiful memories
Promising each other forever without apartheid
Love was so strong and edifying without dispute
Always laughing, kissing and caressing all day
Without hesitating before love making and more.
Woke up one morning without my lover by my side
Waiting and hoping she went to fetch something
Never knew I have been blackmail to her via text
It's a text from my ex lover wanting to reunite
Wanting to ignite the love she was unable to build
vulnerable without location knowing her whereabouts
I ponder and wonder over where and how to find her.
This feelings bursting my brain causing migraine
making me want to migrate from here to Madrid
In search for her, for that's where I find her
Now I am winning and dinning with aches of pains
Drinking and smoking sobering in solitude panting
Breathing heavily my heart beats in search of her
Presence but it was absence the rhythm of my heart.
1. In every decision I make,
And every step I take,
I see it through your eyes,
Which makes me realize that
I am a better person than you, and that's a fact.
'Cause you would have twisted the story,
Taken offense, and started a fight.
2. You see the worst in people,
Point out all my flaws in public
Bring your lies to the dinning table
While I still find myself struggling to find good in your soul,
You keep breaking my heart into folds.
3. I am not being proud,
I just want to say out loud,
That karma is a ,
And babe, she has you on her list.
4. I am sad now,
And you are glad.
You think you know better, but you don't.
Honey, you are the 'worst' you see in me.
5. I thought I had a bad sense of judgement,
Crossing paths with you,
Realizing yours is just irrational.
6. I was wrong to assume you were good,
When you helped me at school.
Still, I know you aren't all bad,
Like the world, you are more than black and white.
A brown sugar glazed ham every holiday dinner planned
Christmas and Easter and New Year tradition
beside that turkey with Thanksgiving cheers
those holiday feast with family we remember dear
Crowned with pineapple rings attached by cloves
the smell in the oven baking tempts your nose
Display on the dinning table center stage
sweet meat candy the holiday rage
Sliced thin so more to go around
Happiness the taste of the holidays profound
Holiday baked ham and sweet potato pie
french green beans and cornbread muffins stacked high
mashed potatoes with plenty of gravy
mac and cheese and don't say maybe
So many foods and treats but that baked ham we love to eat
With bone or without, spiraled or whole there is no doubt
a favorite for the seasons and your tummy full
when first out of the oven the smell makes you drool.
Poor taste
Stolen goods on a plate
Dinning with the ugly
I smile
But
Only then
To see past the mirror of disdain
I must first treat my wounds from living lonely.
They say prison is a bad place to be
From what I see
Must be easier than life here outside
The pain we hide
Life out here
Lot of fear
They get locked up cause they can't handle real life
Need the controlled strife
Things we face trying to survive
As they do in their prison hive
But they have gaurds to watch their back
If someone does attack
A dinning hall to eat a bed to sleep
Hearts out here weep
As in there
Same as here
Life is fear
They get everything they need
We bleed
The criminals have it made
We don't make the grade
We have to fight to get by
Sometimes we cry
Wish to fly
Life out here
Living in fear
Worse than prison inside
Where our souls we hide
Must confide
Most horrible place I find
Within the shattered mind
Trying to survive in this twisted world I live
My soul and the pain love does give
Guess we are in prison as well
Far as I can tell
Nothing is free
Fight to be
A part of this world we see
This years most prized
Hottest ticket above all
Red carpet
Socialite Charity Event
The Guest list comprised of the
Who's , who amongst the elite
Those who are actually in the know
And the conversation in between
3* Star Michelin dinning courses
Drifted into the aristocracy saying
Rather than let the poor and needy
Starving and going hungry
Eat cake instead
Of stale old mouldy bread
Whilst congratulating one another
Sipping and raising a toast
On Vintage Champagne
Costing over $2k a pop
Which cost no where near as much
As their designer bespoke suit
Hand crafted jewellery
Or Watch
And you don't even want to know
Just how much the actual price of the
Ticket cost
Because that will surely
Take the Cake
And prove exactly just how entirely
Fake this all in fact is
And who truly benefits
From Charity most above all
Swamp - Life
As viscous as pea soup
Shrieking
With Nemo swimming round and round
Underneath a breeding ground for
Pond the life algee fine dinning up on top
A drinking hole
Oasis
Fit for a
Lion King
A Disney Affair
Frozen ageless in time
Like a lock of Rapunzel's hair
Sleeping Beauty's fair
Mary Poppins loving care
In a magical , fantastical , dream infused
Ever so spectacular
Child Capturers Imagination Library
Somewhere just waiting to be discovered
So the journey most especially
Doesn't end here
"i will live"
even if it's for a jiffy at this moment,
let my breath be the testimony of what i feel
& the sound of the drum my heart holds
will keep its rhythm below the canopy of the forest
let the hunter aim no perfect shot at the eagle that soars
i will live,
to harvest the trees i have planted with blue & black in the white field
to seduce the pain that awaits me in bed
i can't tell how many times my peace of mind has been accompanied by sorrow
but at this stage, i will live
because if the tea on the dinning table gets cold
my brother won't be able to tell the taste of the sugar in it
i will live,
if it's in pain, someday happiness will creep
if it's in mental illnesses, one day a therapist will creep
if it's in my mind, one day i will write the story
if it's in the outfits, one day God will redress me
but for now, i will live
Please do not stress Mother dearest
As i do not want to add to your woes
But the dog has just come in covered
in ticks and fleas
And my sister and I have both knits and
scrapped knees respectively
So many troubles and this won't be the
last to try and comb over or sweep under
the already threadbare underlay or
cardboard box dinning table
Yet just more ammunition and stick's of
rock to be labeled and taunted by other's
with
Exactly just how much of laugh are you
having and enjoying at our expense
I've barely 23 cent's left after i've
settled my rent to patch up the
holes in the front door from the
bailiff's constantly knocking down
my door
But nevermind me what really strings
and breaks my heart are seeing my
children's faces bony and haunt
Like ghost's me do haunt knowing
hug's won't alone keep them warm
when the winter cold night's draw in
But those very kid's despite all of
this and apparently having nothing
are both happy and content at the
same time
Because 1 thing they know for sure
is that there are far worse fates than
being poor
So long as they know Mother loves
them
Oh known terror!!
You've made man look so full of error
Man's end, less three score and ten
The wise tortoise watch and learn
Forbidden to hug friends from hood
Face covered even on happy mood
It's truely a terror, cause the world speaks of it
More to come,even more than we can eat
We all thought it will end in one
Rather more to come science warn
Some foresaw it but only pray
Imagine me dinning on vaccine tray
Oh known terror
Can you let me shake my old friend fear-free?

It's another chilly morning,
As you wake up while yawning,
Breakfast is ready in the dinning,
After some exercise and training,
Dress up and get ready for learning.
There is no time for clothes ironing,
You're late so you better keep running,
Crossing the road as cars are horning,
Soldiers ask for your ID before opening,
You don't wanna be late for the signing.
Your heart is beating and burning,
They allow you but with a warning,
As you're busy with finger scanning,
A subordinate staff stops cleaning,
And tells you your shift is in the evening.
