Why can love be so messy?
you go from loving
to disagreeing
to divorce
to singlehood
trying to find true love
why can't it be easy?
I'm a single boy with wonderful dreams
Dreams of finding a soulmate matching my wishes
Wishes I formulated from a good morning
Morning to have you forever
Forever until death parts you and me
My fantasy as a boy is not any dream
A dream with my soulmate
Soulmate for me to marry
Marry after a thriving relationship
Relationship with a heavenly angel
Angel and a soulmate to espouse,
Espouse after I've madly befriended you.
You're the love I smell, my unique rose.
Rose and my purposeful confidante.
Confidante for life, good or bad.
That is my dream—to have you
You, as my fitting genotype chum,
Chum, we match behavior and education.
You'll break my singlehood; you're my real crony.
Poem by Mugisho N.
I may be single,
But I am neither ready to mingle,
Nor sing romantic jingles.
I may be a fool,
But I am neither ready to lose my cool,
Nor dive in the precarious pool.
I may be a nerd,
But I am neither ready to die hard,
Nor get scared.
I may be a stupid,
But I am neither ready to be duped by the Cupid,
Nor for prosperity rush rapid.
I may be a nut,
But I am neither ready to lose my chivalrous gut,
Nor be unscrupulous at heart.
I may be a dumb,
But I am neither ready to be soulfully numb,
Nor to greed and lust, succumb.
I may be unsmart,
But I am neither ready to cause someone any hurt,
Nor from truth stay apart.
I may be monotonous,
But I am neither ready not to be vivacious,
Nor be vicious.
I may be poor,
But I am neither ready to lose my sense of being pure,
Nor show my humanity the door.
I may be ugly,
But I am neither ready to stoop seeing people as lovely,
Nor lose my singlehood and choose not to be happy.
Life had teached me that the lessons that are not learned in a class room.
1. Every body that laugh with your is not your friend.
2. A shaped body or a pretty face is not guarantee of success.
3. Singlehood is not a condemn, specially for women, in a society
when marriage is over rated as a symbol of triumph, and if you
do not fulfill the parameter, directly or undirectly, is implied that
you are a misfit.
4. Health conditions is not an excuse to give up to your dreams,
unless is disabling.
5. Share time of quality with family and friends. You never know
when is the last day on Earth for them or for you.
6. Contemplate a sunset and twilight. Magnific creations of nature.
7. Do not fear the future. Expect the best
8. Dwelling in the past is a waste of time. You cannot change it. Pass
the page.
9. Take care of yourself. Is part of self love.
10. Love you in an unselfish way. You cannot love any body, without love you
first.

Singlehood means an unmarried person.
For women, it's not easy, since
some of them are called Spinsters.
It's a temporary or permanent
civil status.
Sometimes, life doesn't present
the opportunities to meet a partner.
In other situations, is a decision made.
Whatever the reason, is not a cause
to be unhappy.
It has to be wonderful to walk this
voyage called with someone by your
side. But, if for an unknown
reason, it's not the case, be happy
with yourself.
Happiness it's a feeling that starts
inside you.
Finally, don't worry if you would find a
partner or not.
If you have to live the experience, you
will find him or her at the most
unexpected time and place.
Meanwhile, enjoy life. It's only one.

The is night cold
The streets are mute
The stars are asleep
The moon is moaning
Peeping through my windows
the gentle breeze from the
beach beacons on me
But nature's touch is temporal
Eve's touch is eternal
Where is my Eve?
As tears flooded my veins
In region of my contemplations
an arrow of fear pierce through
my spirit
My spirit screamed for
deliverance from singlehood
Oh, where is my Eve?

There are women who travel through life in constant disguise,
Portraying an image of having it together,
while they live in a quagmire of lies,
By themselves, it's a task easily done,
What people don't know is, that many have
secrets at home,
Husbands they are ashamed of,
and keep in the shade,
because they are unable to fulfill their fantasies,
or win them accolades,
So, they project,
living in a hail storm of hypocrisy,
dabbling in both worlds endlessly,
From singlehood to married
they wax and wane,
Sometimes the wedding ring accidentally
gets tossed down the drain,
All these rouses in the name of getting ahead,
They continue to play their roles,
when they are truly sorry that they wed.
Goodbye storybook romance
Goodbye motherhood
Hello singlehood
I'm putting my dreams away
and accepting the bittersweet reality
that you're someone else's child
Just for today
I relish the memory of holding you
Fresh and newborn
that I'll never let go of
Just to see you again and touch your sweet face
Is today's fantasy
and tomorrow's hopeful reality
