I Decided

I DECIDED
Roy Mokoena

Making a final decision may be so hard,
living a doubtful life should be a discard.
Brains in the mind, I am able to think,
Smiling my heart out, it is time to prink.

My journey - I'll travel with confidence,
So my future is beyond my cognisance.
My battles are always fought with spears,
and never will I cry myself out to tears.

The decision that I have made,
a pure light that will never fade.
The smell of deodorant on my shirt,
All ladies are looking up for a flirt.

But I have decided, I have decided!
And by His mercy, I will be responded!

An Angel's Visit

An Angel’s visit (My warm blessings)

Waking up in the midnight hour, it was so quiet, 
but only the sound of hooting owls and loud ticking of a clock.
Humanlike footsteps passing through the window, 
which brought a lot of fear into my soul.
So dark in the room, in-betwixt the curtains… 
there was a little gleam of moonlight, another sign of life apart from just breathing.
It was not a hallucination but reality of course, I blinked my eyes in an effort to wake up,
there was strange lights yet so beautiful like a Christmas tree, colorful lights twinkling all over, it was an angel’s face covered with a pure-white lace. 
Indeed heaven was performing its miracles, the woman I always wanted to meet, 
passionate and affectionate,
yes I was fortunate to get myself in the hands of this soul mate.
It was not just a hug, but a romantic-bonding. It was not just a kiss, but a mouth-watering.
Luscious lips, curvacious and or voluptuous.  What a lovely-creature!
She smiled, delightfully but with tears of joy, and whispered in my ears YOU GOT ME.
Take care of her, don’t scare her… you will see the power of a loving woman.
It was worth the visit… Blessing I should say.

A December To Remember

A DECEMBER TO REMEMBER 
Roy Mokoena

Who will I be without number twelve, 
Time for gatherings and restoration of relations,
A lot of festivities but my birthday month, 
The tail of the year, in it I was created.
Triple decades ago, I was still crawling, It felt 
good moving from place to another with knees.
Like a thirsty stallion I could not stop crying, 
The lullaby I always sang before the bedtime.
A December to Remember
Flecks of grey speckled over my dark hair, 
I am now growing and becoming very old,
If age was a wage, health would be my wealth.
Rands in the hands, the poorman's daily dream. Brighter days, Holiday on a Monday I was born,
A bouquet of dandelions I received as a gift,
but songs and surprises are always a Joy for Roy.
Christ was born on the twenty-fifth day
A December to Remember
I was born on the twenty-sixth day
I am also a Member to Remember.

My Reminder

MY REMINDER 
Roy Mokoena

Silence at night, shadows in the dark streets.
The blue skies lit by the twinkling silver-stars.
Noiseless, only the gentle ticks of the clock.
Alone in the beachfront, I admired the roll of the waves in the North Sea, it created a good music,
the magnificent composition with emotive lyrics.
Pure and moderately soft, so was the sound. 
It raised my ears, I bent down (chin to the chest)
my eyes lowered with tears, I cried my lungs out.
Eye-fluids rolled down and down my toenails,
My feet plunged in wetland, trapped in the mud,
unable to walk but able to move, I was helpless.
With my wings widely spread, I shouted a plea.
You came to my rescue, responded to my call.
Your presence, good riddance to my loneliness.
Your support reawakened me, Im now living.
Your consolation cured my wounds, I can walk.
I recovered from the feeling of being lost, 
The Le good life in me, you planted it.
The smile you brought, hath reshaped my face!
You made me love again- You're my reminder!

My Life Page

MY LIFE PAGE
Roy Mokoena

I lived,I have seen,but still can't imagine life
I got the direction, but never took an action!
I made decisions, but still stuck in the wilderness 
I ignored their advices, I followed my instincts, 
of which is good at some point!
I have no one to blame,but to rebuild my name!
All that I got from fame, turned into a flame!
Now I rise, that's my plan of action! 
My LIFE, now onward... You are a different chapter.
I will lean on you tirelessly.
I will live you, that you never leave me.
I will befriend you, you be my pal
I will learn your tricks, so I earn all the success! 
Now I stand firm, grasp my hand
Walk me out of all the challenges, 
Let my future blossom! I was made to shine! 
Bury my past, refresh my thoughts
Change my life, YOU own it.
Life lived without struggles is not wealthy,
But struggling to live wealthy life is also healthy! 
A wealthy life ... A healthy one!

Look For Love If You Love Her Looks

When I look at you,I see a friend, cause true friendship is social,it connects happy souls into oneness, that's why love always finds a way! 
When I look at you, mind battles with thoughts, there be no headaches instead a better decisions. Smiles becomes laughter,but dimples remain fixed holes on cheeks! 

When I look in your eyes, eyeball to an eyeball, the view depicts exactly what lunar eclipse is like, the coolest moment where it feels like looking at the fogdog beyond the sunset beach before dusk. Not an ordinary skin but of an angel, face that glows,round eyes yet too brownish,ones that are not big, opened when it stares but closed when it winks,with a tear-drop to can quench one's thirst when the world experiences the huge draught.

 When I look at you, I find solutions for all the problems I encountered under the sun, future paths looks clearer without thorns and the bridge to success get crossed without barriers. 

When I look at you,it reminds me that God has authorized my existence a long time ago before I born,and He put you on my ways so that you be the reason for my breathing! 

Indeed beauty is not just the structure of the nice body but distinctive appearance that attracts attention of the present eye! Feel free to love if it makes you happy and make it a growing trend because true love is seldom found!
When i look at you... please look back at me! 
Real love starts with sweet looks!

Music Is An Art

MUSIC IS AN ART
Roy Mokoena

Unlike an ordinary song, 
this is the sound of a chirping bird,
too rhythmic but polyphonic, 
an awesome melody,
no human voices attached,
only notes and beats connected together 
to define music as an art of singing!
Too soft, a gentle rendition
Not very loud but harmonious 
flows with feelings, so mind blowing
It refreshes the thoughts 
but never stops the brainstorming!
It gives life to a dying soul, it revives the wicked
It lessens the amount of stress, it is so healing
it rolls with emotions, it is so devotional 
A pure enjoyment, A daily entertainment 
How magnificent is this piece,
Joyous and Compassionate, a good song!
Sentimental and Instrumental, its a good music! 
The Music that is sung classically ... is so unique! 
Shape it before you sing it, That's Art!

Morning Live

In the morning, I wake up with clear visions
Morning! -  You soothe my mind.
In the morning, I have all possible missions
Morning! - You blow a cool wind.

Morning! - Sun's little rays that brightens the day
In the morning, I feel a new life under the sunlight.
Morning! - The  coolest hours closer to yesterday 
In the morning, I recall my dreams about lastnight.

In the morning, Mist covers the whole earth
Morning! - You are so spontaneous.
In the morning, A flower looks like a wreath
Morning! - You are so splendorous.

Morning! - You have become my everyday crush
In the morning, let the hours roll slow with no rush.

The Gravesite Lament

THE GRAVESITE LAMENT
Roy Mokoena

When the earth hath giveth us chance to breathe,
but death meddled in between and barricaded our journey. After birth we all rejoice and celebrate but when there is death, folks and friends suffer from sorrow, pain and grief. Alongside thy grave on the autumnal grass, I solemnly knelt thither, gazed my eyes towards the tomb, said a prayer for your resurrection. A swarm of butterflies fluttered in the breeze, the mockingbirds whistled their melancholic music-piece. Clouds banked, the
whole skies rumbled, rocks crumbled and stars crashed into the space. I cried out vehemently,
I was dying to share my love with you again, after the bible verse that you whispered in my ears, 
I was resuscitated. You promised to take care of me, oh Lord my God, pain that made me sob my heart out was cured, all my distress was washed.

The Winter Bed-Check

THE WINTER BED-CHECK
Roy Mokoena

Waking up in midst of the night,
Burdened by the loneliness in me,
Hard to lie a head on an empty bed.
In the cold hours, I rolled from left to right,
I put my wings close to the body,as a bird on alighting- i needed a warm cuddle.
I was hoping for a feminine touch, 
Her hands to embrace, I was freezing.
I looked up, I imagined, I desired, but nothing,
I couldn't resist the craving, I was burning.
The confusion dimmed my mind off,
I remembered, Tears ran down my face!
Stronger feelings- I needed a company,
Someone of a gender contrary to mine,
Whom I could exchange the breath with.
Only the pillows were in my possession,
The shivering never stopped, a winter battle!
Dry lips- I needed a mouth-watering,
Cold hands- I needed someone to caress!
The only way to substitute loneliness,
Is by creating  a solid togetherness!
A man, A woman- their marriage! 
Their oneness is their happiness!
How fantastic is the fantasyland of a man who dreams and do things differently in the next wake!
Set action plans that bring about change,
And live a lifestyle that brings him full satisfaction!
