Enjoying what you do

I am happy doing what I am doing at the moment.  never been so happy, maybe because I have been very sad for the past 6 years doing what I was doing, that this seems like a dream come true

#250 Do what you like

Doing what you like

is such a treat

a luxury

only available to the few

jump on board

let me tell you what to do

be up for challenges

take chances

and you will see

life can be wonderful

if you have the support

structure and family

that’s it

no really that’s the list

not very long

not impossible

so please persist

don’t give up

follow your dreams

in time you can

live your life successfully

never been so busy

I have been so busy recently I have started losing weight, never set out to loose weight. but in the past 5 weeks I have dropped at least 1 dress size, I feel fitter and look younger, even younger never set out to lose weight so all these things are bonuses. secret ..................... not eating. or yeah and hard work , on my feet all day cooking ........... strange but true. I don't tend to eat when I cook, do you?

#249 Never enough time

Whats going on with time

I know I am not alone

there are so many of us

running around like headless chickens

simply chasing time

I have decided its not us at fault

living in a warped time zone

we need to shout abort

We have been taught not to question

that way we won’t hear any lies

I know something is going on

as I am able to read between the lines

there are gadgets in my home

to help with my time

they run on an on

they run the home fine

whenever I have a moment

I try to relax

there’s always a nagging voice

as if it was a crime

sitting down relaxing

is not the way to spend my time

so i get up find something to do

is this what my life has become

just doing things I don't really want to do

Facebook the new tool in crime prevention

I was scanning, shamelessly searching fb for an old friend, well he does have a very unusual name, so what were the odds that there would be two people with the same name. anyhow on this other persons page who clearly wasn't the person I was looking for, younger and better looking anyhow on his page was a link about fb being so very useful in crime prevention and other interesting facts. well anyhow you go find it.

posted last month sometime that's all I am prepared to say.

#241 Monitor ME?

I monitor myself

there is no need to monitor me

I put my likes and dislikes

for all the world to see

ask me where I have been

I will upload a picture so you can see

I monitor myself

I am the feds dream

who do I know ?

what is the link ?

I will explain to you

it is all on my fb page

how sersync

what am I up to ?

am I playing games ?

how much time in front the monitor

how lucid is my mind

this is what they monitor

they’ve been doing for some time

what have I read ?

what do I know ?

what’s my favourite place to go ?

what do I like to listen to ?

what do I eat ?

If I am not posting on my wall

I will happily tweet ?

a 10 inch afro

Walking home from work then I saw a young lady all smartly dressed and rocking a big afro, I loved it, she reminded me of me about five years ago, when I was always between hairstyles and I would toy around with going oh natural, I would do it for a few weeks, but the up keep of plaiting and greasing at night would drive me crazy.

#247 Big Hair

She walked towards me

tall and proud

her hair stood ten feet tall

I was in awe

it was in an afro of sorts

type of thing I use to wear

when I was myself

not trying to conform

I loved her style

afro with a little lock and twist

then a scarf pulling it off her face

this is the beauty of our race

the versatility we have

to make things

that are considered bad

look so damn good

I loved her style

she reminded me of me

when I was free

and my hair truly represented me

Why make plans at all?

#246 plan

Making plans

list of things to do

that don't always get done

so carried through

to another date

making a date with

something you haven’t done

air marked as important

so then you can put it on the top

hoping to do them first

some things never get done

somethings just hang around

in limbo

after a while the significance

is lost that thing you didn’t do

just didn’t get done

guess it wasn’t that important then

mimicking  best laid plans

Beautiful Nubian girl on the train

I was on the train and I saw a beautiful young lady. The true beauty was that she had no idea quite how beautiful she was.

#240 Dark and Beautiful

She was dark and beautiful

yet she never knew

never been told how beautiful

you would think by now she knew

this must have been what it was like

running along with the phinx

beautiful nubian kings and queens

like a long cool drink

dark and beautiful

never been told that before

sad, that’s how she was grown

dark and beautiful

I want to tell her now

she wouldn’t believe me

she would just ask ‘How?’
