Love is in the air

Chocolates and roses are everywhere,  
Birds are singing, treating each other fair, 
Short as it is, February is a month of love, 
Coming with cloud smiles from above. 

Love is in the air 
Ladies and gentlemen do your hair, 
It's time to release love on your mind, Tell someone she's one of a kind. 

Love is in her smile 
She showed all that down the aisle, 
Beautiful flower, soul, angelic face, 
It's not my power or abilities just grace. 

Love is in her speech 
This year it's on Sunday, love will preach, 
Valentine's Day always follow her birthday, 
Her name is love, she brightens everyday. 

Love is in the air

I Love You

I have something romantic to tell you,
Laughing together is what we do, 
Great love is what I see in your eyes,
Holding hands together we will rise. 

Within your eyes I always see a spark, 
We sing, pray and dance in the park, 
Together we make a statement of love, 
You are my number one truelove. 

I reminisce every moment and smile, 
Especially when you walked down the aisle, 
You will always be in my mind, 
You and I will always be twined. 

I Love You

This Is Our Time

We've seen life with ups and downs, 
We've heard voices bringing new sounds, 
We've seen families trying to cope, 
We've seen hopeless, finding new hope, 

This Is Our Time 
It's time to write history on the sand, 
It's time to unite and possess the land, 
It's time to make this world a better place, 
It's time to keep that smile on your face. 

This Is Our Time 
We will not go back anymore, 
We have risen from the floor, 
We then landed on the planes, 
We learnt to speak our brains. 

This Is Our Time 
We will live, give and we will love, 
We will receive our help from above, 
We will write, sing, reach new hight,
We will be this world's brightest light. 

This Is Our Time

African Good Read

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, 
The rain clouds gathered too soon, 
Enjoying daddy daughter downtime, 
It wasn't poetry, just a book, a rhyme.

Nala's book had animal faces, 
My book took me to different places, 
It had half face of a lion, a black man,
A black man that always had a plan. 

Africa carries a drumbeat of wisdom, 
A lion, a warrior, head of the kingdom,
The heart of Africa, hearts of leaders, 
Noble as her people, great readers. 

Elephants the largest jungle followers, 
Lions challenging as African warriors, 
People who faced guns with a spear, 
Fought and won wars with no fear. 

Learning more about African roots,  
Mother Africa had us to institute, 
As for me, knowledge is my friend, 
As for now, this poem has to end.

A Back Up Plan

It doesn't wake you up every sunrise, 
There is no sparkle within your eyes, 
You drag yourself every single day, 
You've ran out of words to say. 

A Back Up Plan 
You hide from yourself day and night,
You didn't shine your dreams bright, 
You didn't dream under the stars, 
Instead you focused on your scars. 

A Back Up Plan 
There are things you couldn't see, 
There is a better you, you couldn't be, 
You had dreams to compromise, 
They'll die slowly before you realise.  

A Back Up Plan
