Taking A Break

I feel so bad because I haven't blogged in a while. The reason is because I have been extremely busy trying to meet up with friends and family that I haven't seen in almost a year. I've been trying my best to make sure I spend time with my loved ones before I go back to work next week. I work with my university, at the recruitment office. In 2 weeks time I will also be helping out with clearing. *Deep sigh*. It sets my mind back to a year ago when I completed my A-levels and I anxiously awaited my results, as going through clearing or failure would depress me. (Don't worry, I passed) ;). My summer this year has been quite short but I'm glad it wasn't full of boredom. My mum has an incredible 12mp camera that takes wonderful pictures. Surprisingly she is trusting me with her camera this summer. *Big grin* :D
The camera has been my companion this summer as I have taken it everywhere, to remember the fun and special time I've shared with friends and family.

Before I disappear for a few weeks, here is a cute all black outfit I wore a few weeks ago. Thankfully it wasn't sunny that day, so the sun didn't have the advantage of roasting me :)







Blazer: Primark
Long Bodycon Top: Zara
Tights: M&S
Shoes: Stead & Simspson











I don't make promises because I beat my self up if I don't fulfil them, however I prefer to say "I will try". In this case, I will try my best to write another poem or give you a slight update about how I am doing as soon as possible. I'll be back soon.
Just like the Spanish say
Adios Amigos ;)

Relations**t

This poem was written by a good friend of mine. The title of the poem does look a bit disturbing. Surprisingly I liked it when I read it *Cheeky Grin* :D So I thought I should share it with You.

Loves on me
Let’s have a Relations**t

Flush it down the drain
Watch it go down the pit
So outstanding even as I sit
I never should have gone with it
I probably should have quit
Before it genuinely started
But you never know how it feels
Until you’re broken hearted

Written By Koby Martin Asiamah

Love

I know its been so long, however I have finally written another poem. This poem is about love. I hope you like it :D

Love is a feeling that rushes through your mind
Love is tenderly soft and obviously kind

Love makes you whole
Love leads you home

Love keeps you safe at night
Love guides you through the night

Love is so divine
Love makes you shine

Love at times can make you feel pain
Love at times can feel cool like rain

Loves fills you with warmth from head to toe
Love enters your soul and makes you glow

Love is your best friend, indirectly a lover
Love can be passed from one person to another

Love comes naturally
Love comes humbly

Love is not something that you can search for
Love cannot progress when there is a closed door

Love is important in life today
Love should be shown, That love is Agape

Its Been A While

Wow...Its been a while since I've blogged or written a poem. My exams are officially over and the level of boredom has decreased amazingly *Cheeky Grin*. I'm a very indecisive person so its taking me a long time to decide what I want to write my next poem on even though I have a lot of ides. However it shouldn't take to long now. I'm getting closer to picking a good topic. Waiting for my exams results is so nerve racking. The weather is looking ravishing day by day and I think its time to give my wardrobe a make over. Yaayy. Hmm... well with the help of mummy's plastic friend called Mrs Debit Card.

I don't know why but I'm obsessed with Zara. I just love their clothes. I think half of my wardrobe is from Zara :D


For the time being, here are 2 outfits that look cool.

Maxi Dress: I bought this dress for summer last year. I only wore it once for a wedding. I'm 5ft (I know very short) so it was very long for me. I decided to do an alteration on it. A number of people said it looked gorgeous. I don't think I'll be wearing maxi dresses this summer. I don't know why but now I think it makes me look even shorter. oh well... I liked it then but its still at the back of my wardrobe :/


Maxi Dress: Zara


Super Woman Blouse: Hmv
Cardigan: Zara
Belt: Primark
Tube Skirt: New Look

Adios

Why Are We Ignorant?

While browsing through the internet, I came across a poem. This poem is not written by me, but after reading it,I found it slightly touching and inspirational. I wouldn't say I agree with certain points mentioned in this poem but I do feel it states the truth to do with the majority of black people based on stereotypes.


Why are we ignorant
To the things that we do
Like Black on Black crime
From the violence we brew

Why do we wear
Our pants hanging low
Like ghetto-ish bums
In a circus freak show

Why do we curse
And cuss like we do
And talk in Ebonics
Like the slaves use to do

Over four hundred years
Of shame and disgrace
We use the "N" word
Like no other race

Why do we leave
Our young ones alone
No family like structure
No house to call home

Why can't we prosper
Like Immigrants do
Who came here with nothing
And pave their way through

Why do we live
Such drug hungry lives
With gangsters and thugs
Packing guns and sharp knives

We seem to enjoy
Life on the streets
We work those slave jobs
Where pay is dirt-cheap

We live a life style
Of roach broken homes
Where trash and graffiti
And rats seem to roam

We don't get involve
In political laws
Nor do we vote out
Laws that have flaws

We're exploiting our music
With our sexual drive
Degrading our women
And destroying their lives

Our schools become jails
That we seem to fill
Like thieves in the night
We learn how to steal

So why can't we learn
Constructible skills
And walk the right path
To conquer all hills

Why can't we start
A new kind of trend
As Doctors and Scholars
And Builders of men

Why can't we sharpen
Our minds and technique
And show the whole world
That we are unique

Why can't we come
Together as one
So No one can say
That we were born dumb

Why can't we break
This bondage we keep
This hole that's been dug
So low and so deep

Why must we feel
It's been too many years
Wearing these chains
Of blood sweat and tears

And why can't we send
Our kids off to college and Uni
Its always been known
That strength comes from knowledge

We are destine to lose
This destruction of doom
The road of dead ends
These shadows of gloom

1 Prayer. To change
These things we do wrong
For it's tough being Black
And hard to stay strong
But Stick Together

Ladies: Self Respect

A message to all my young ladies out there
Sometimes life can seem really unfair

That guy that proclaims he likes you
Could be there to make or break you

That guy that says you’re the one
Could make you feel pain, like being shot by a gun

That guy that says you’re his only pearl
Could be seeing another woman or girl

That guy that tells you the three words “I love you”
Could be living unfaithful and tell you things that are untrue

That guy that says he will always be there
Could cause you embarrassment, that make people stare

That guy that you feel you’re devoted to
Could increase that elongated queue

Self respect is the key
Because it brings out that inner beauty

That inner beauty that God truly sees
That should never be taken, mistreated or seized

Some men are only after one thing
I know you know, what I’m thinking

That one thing that interlinks to your body as a temple
Should be kept, and let no man tempt you

Build a strong relationship with The Lord
Failure to do so, a man can pierce the heart, like a sword

That same guy that was after one thing
In future, will realise your worth and see you shining

I repeat, Self respect is the key
It will keep you pure and free

Free from the hands of the wrong man
Be patient, don’t rush, there’s a greater plan

The plan that brings you to eternal life
And also blesses you with unlimited rife

Rife, meaning abundance with him
So your pure path doesn’t appear dim

Do not run after a man, even when you think he’s fine
He will be shown to you if you’re patient, in due time

Be proud to stand up and say “NO”
Don’t be tempted by that foolish man
Tell him you Trust no man but God
As he will bring you a wise man

My Hair Obsession

Before I beginning ranting on. I want to mention that this picture above is extreme but wonderfully beautiful. It's a work of art :D

I'm proud to say that my hair is 100% natural. I have decided that I will never perm it. The main reason is because I'm extremely frightened of my hair falling out :s. My hair is absolutely tough, my mum tells me this all the time and others do to. I guess I love my thick hair the way it is. I'm a bit of an old school person and my afro reminds me of old school hair when everyone was rocking and afro and it was the must have. Now everyone has ditched their afro and decided to drench it in chemicals (perm) and go for the straight look which I have to say is less hassle than afro hair. I may sound like a hypocrite but most of the time my hair is straight with the help of my good friend Miss Hair Straightener :). I think I've killed the life out of my good old friend. oops :S. Hehe. The reason why I've decided to straighten it is because I find my hair much more easier to maintain and I can experiment different hair styles. But an afro on the other hand lacks a number of hairstyles. It also hurts at times :((good sign of healthy hair i think).

I have been doing my own hair for the past 4 years now. I decided to start doing my own hair because I was tired of the hair styles my mum did. The huge plaits :s. I haven't been to the hairdressers in over 3 years which I think is quite impressive. Its not because I think I can do every style in the book, I just feel its unnecessary to waste money at the hairdressers when I can do my own hair. However I have to admit that I have had a few bad hair days...But who hasn't? :)

It takes me 1 hour every morning to straighten my hair. It takes me 2 hours if I have just washed it. Some people think I'm crazy because I spend so much time on my hair. Some also say that I could use that time to get an extra hour of sleep. I guess I do it because I love my hair and it slightly defines who I am. My hair is not too short and not too long. Its just right. My hair is like art to me. I love experimenting with it and trying new things. I Love My Hair.

Why Do I Write Poems?

When I created this blog page. My main aim was to talk about life in general. However I have slightly drifted from my initial idea and decided that my blog page should focus mainly on my poems. From time to time I will post up a few things about life in general as I promised. This also includes my psychotic obsession with chocolate and my relationship with Oreos ;)*Muahahaha*.I've been writing poems for a very long time but I didn't really take it seriously due to laziness and immaturity. However I decided to start writing again as my mind, opinions and beliefs have changed and I can proudly say that I am a sensible and mature young lady. I've also been thinking of writing a long/short story. Well when I am officially dedicated to writing :/(which shows that laziness is still present in my life....well 40%). *Cheeky Grin* :D. The fact that I miss my family sticks on my mind like a stain. Being surrounded by these 4 walls (my room) makes me think about everything and anything. I don't think I have mastered how not to think about anything and just make my mind blank but writing poems is as far as I get to making my mind blank. Writing poems allows me to express how I feel in an artistic way, it also allows me to reflect. Funny enough, writing poems makes me feel very relaxed even though words and ideas are constantly floating in my mind. I hope my poems send out a message to others who read them. There will be many poems/proses to come. Maybe a story when my laziness has reduced to 20% :p

Why Do Some People Fall In Faith?

It’s because some people are caught up
Caught up in this world where temptation lies

It’s because some people are full of deceit
Full of deceit that they dislike one another

It’s because some people are filled with rage
Filled with rage that it leads to hatred

It’s because some people are in love
In love with themselves, but don’t see the truth

It’s because some people are mislead
Mislead from that pure path above

It because some people don’t care
Don’t care about life they begin to lose hope

It’s because some people are influenced
Influenced by many, many who are wrong

It’s because some people don’t believe
Don’t believe in the future to be great

It’s because some people are not strong
Not strong to fight dirt off

It because some people listen
Listen to music, which brings in negativity

It’s because some people dress scandalously
Scandalously, that they become vulnerable

It’s because some people are so immature
Immature, that it leads to stabbings, shooting, then death

It because some people are greedy
Greedy that they commit crime

It’s because some people care
Care about what others think of them

It's because no one is perfect
Perfect that they can be error-less

Why do some people fall in faith?
It’s because some people don’t have him

Who is he?
God

This is not a poem. This is just a young singer I discovered while browsing on you tube. She is such an amazing singer. Just an example of amazing voices that are undiscovered. This young lady also contributed to writing 'Party In The USA' sang by Miley Cyrus.

Obstacles Of Christianity

Deciding to become a devoted Christian is hard at times
Its like throwing away something precious like a dime

That dime being the temptation of the world
This temptation holds us down just like a hurl

It strikes us vigorously, and blinds us from gold
That gold being God, our saviour our Lord

We make him unhappy, we disobey him
But in ultimate love he forgives the sin

The sin we commit that leads us astray
Leads us so far that our minds are away

Away from the truth that could lead us close
Close to our destiny that he has chose

This destiny before our birth, he has foreseen
Its like time that passes that we can’t redeem

Choosing to become a Christian, is your choice alone
But the truthfulness of God, you should not condone

This Christian walk needs determination, that’s the key
Holding your head up high, and walking very bravely

So you can walk to that eternal life, to his kingdom above
To be with alpha and omega, our Messiah, our God

Finding The Right Person

Being in a relationship can make you feel wanted
But sometimes the bad feelings can make it seem haunted

Some people may find it hard to realise, or even say
Some people prefer not to experience it, I must dismay

Don’t be fooled by the feeling of lust
Or else your heart can be crushed into dust

The person you say you love
Can be as pure as a dove

And the person you may hate
May be always in your face

Picking the right person can be an obstacle at times
But finding the right one, can make your heart shine

However, the meaning of love must always be there
So that God brings the right man/woman to instantly appear

Wait for Gods Time, His time is the best
And that person you find, you will never detest

Why Should I Try?

Why should I try if I don’t get anything back?
Why should I try if I get pushed off the tracks?

Why should I try if all they do is lie?
Why should I try if they make me want to cry?

Why should I try if they won’t wipe the slate clean?
Why should I try if they are intentionally mean?

Why should I try if they don’t understand me?
Why should I try if they don’t want to be free?

Why should I try if they don’t give me respect?
Why should I try if my path and theirs disconnect?

I will try because this walk is tough
I will try because I receive Gods love

I will try because God is my only hope
I will try because God can take me home

Money Is The Root Of All Evil

Why is it that people cherish money so much?
It’s almost as strong as the feeling of lust

That strong feeling, that blinds us from real Gold
Which unravels money taking over our soul

We have become attached to this misleading world
As a result, we forget the true meaning of God’s word

Money is the root of all evil, so everyone says
However, we allow it to ruin our days

The days of happiness that is destined to come
Unfortunately, may not be instantly valuable to some

Do not be tempted by the luxuries of today
It’s the love of God that you should display

My Little Sister

She has been there since the early days
She makes me smile in so many ways

She makes a misty dark day seem bright
She is on my thoughts through the night

She brings out the inner beauty in me
She feels my soul with so much glee

She has erased that pain in my heart
That pain that pierced me like a dart

She’s like my vessel that contains a pod
She is a blessing, brought to me by God

She wipes that negative sadness away
I thank God for her life today

What is it?

Its good
Its bad
If its experienced prematurely, it can make God mad

It unites
It binds
It allows the heart to deconstruct and unwind

Its mature
Its fright
Its better to wait till the time is right

Its sacred
Its Scarce
Its something only married couples may share

Its Warm
Its Love
Just remember the Lord sees your actions up above

What is it...?

Why?

Why is it that the sky is blue?
Why is snow white when it falls?

Why is rain always transparent?
Why does the wind blow things away?

Why is the earth Round?
Why is the grass green?

Why do flowers have a scent?
Why is air not visible?

Why are some people tall?
Why are some people short?

Why are some people light?
Why are some people dark?

Why where we created?
Why we were we born?

Want to know the answer?
Well it’s because of God our Lord

What Is Friendship?

Friendship is love
Friendship is peace
Friendship is promised never to cease

Friendship is humble
Friendship is kind
Friendship will always run through your mind

Friendship is truth
Friendship is care
Friendship reminds you that you should be there

Friendship is big
Friendship is small
Friendship can sometimes ease your fall

Friendship is bitter
Friendship is cold
Friendship can be as bad as a mold

Friendship is rage
Friendship is fate
Friendship reminds you of the ones who are fake

Friendship is optional
Friendship is free
Friendship is what binds you and me

The End

Life...

Since I've started university, I'm finding it hard to fall asleep before 12am. I know this is not good but my sleeping pattern has absolutely been messed up. Its 4:29 am and I still can't sleep, so I decided to write a poem about life.

Life...

Life is like a road, that will definitely end
The path is often rocky, and sometimes cannot bend

This destination may be a mysterious long journey
And at times can appear as a malleable hegemony

Meaning the dominance or leadership of one social group
Occasionally misleading as an elongated loop

Some people may slightly influence your thoughts
but do not allow yourself to be caught

In this unfair world where evil is lurking
It is important to be committed and hardworking

The aim is for this path to lead to the future
So that you do not become the ultimate looser

Your life must certainly be treated with care
leading to you being consciously aware

Opening your eyes to the Lord above
So your heart and soul can be filled with love

This rocky path is valuable and delicate
Like the smoothness and silkiness of sweet, warm chocolate

This road of life, leads to one place alone
That place is regarded to all Christians as home

The home that leads to eternal life
Where God will be your only drive

So be strong I say, on this very long journey
Because no one will be there to be your attorney

To save you from the judging of Christ
When the deed is done and you have been enticed

God is the truth and the path to follow
So do not end up in a ditch that is dark and hollow.

The End
