I walked around for hours
hoping it was a dream 
that my life will go back to normal 
as soon as I open my eyes

I could feel them looking at me
with pity on their faces

Between friends with a hug and a kiss

And I thought I got to have more of this

But after the kiss everything...

Thank You, God.
Thank You for everything
that I know that I wanted and You withheld.

Let me be like the one leper

All the barriers broken down
Nothing left to shelter it, 
Her heart now exposed 

The first time in years
She has left...

Our writes we endeavour to plough
We'll meet so many friends
To enhance writing trends
Our strengths are as thick as the bough

I still remember that day,
Now almost four years ago
Christmas morning at 06H30...

My birthday, a day of celebration – 
One of joy, just like that with one phone call

I sometimes still picture you
Laying there
Not saying a word
Just staring at me

You said so much in that few minutes
Not sure if you ever realised it 

You said things with your eyes
We were both,

I’m glancing at the once blue green seascape 
Transformed to a murky coal black scene 
A faucet has been opened

And all we have are amazing memories
Of a mother who cared
A mother who knew how to love others

You taught us to live life no matter what 
You went without so...

By Wilma N. Neels

My senses jumped into action
When I became aware of you,
Your presence overwhelming

Like a song without a chorus
Incomplete...
Like a fire without a flame
No warmth displayed...
You draw me...

The rains in fall on the Serengeti lands
It's impending approach is in natures plans
From barren to lush bringing droplets of pure
Seasonal they are, but will it remain her renewing cure

In the quiet times when we had no words to share
Just the beating of our hearts 
Those magical moments no one but us shared

Your voice all quiet now
Your laughter never to be heard again
And yet it still echoes in my head..

Your smile still plays in my mind’s eye
Feathery kisses blown from above
Floating around brushing against my face

The sadness...
