In the spirit of love and ....

Love is in the air... Or so a little bird told me one early morning...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up today...
feeling lost, lonely and gray.
I simply had nothing to do or say.
I also couldn't get away...
From the prison of my fears and doubts
I also couldn't do without...
The love of one gone south.

Abandoned and cast aside like filth
It crept upon me in stealth...
taking away all my possessions, my wealth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just had to try my hand to see if I had lost the poetic bent... Apparently, lack of practise has left me rusty - I plan to get it back as soon as time allows...
Happy valentine - one and all... How goes this day of love?

In my case, I have had to gradually come to terms with my lack of means - in a country where one is judged by where and what one is, or has or does...
Anyway, in my limited way I have tried to keep the reason behind the season firmly in mind but it still haunts me...

Mom called yesterday (the 13th), she's fine and was 'concerned' about me and my person... I assure her as best as I can without saying too much - that I am fine apart from my current financial state... She intends to look into the matter and for that I am forever in her debt... (I am SO IN HER DEBT!)

nwanneka and the rest of the clan's alright and that keeps me happy...
Finally, SHE calls yesterday - I'm glad that she called and she's glad that I'm glad so that makes this kind of even...

Will have to taper off at this stage - I'm so full of sh*t today - I feel my thoughts whirling around ma head like some kind of blender...

Keep reading, that's all I ask...
Regards and best wishes of the day - ciao!
