no more hurt.

I have come to learn
not to live with fear
of what I have lost
and what I no longer have
but to be content,
to be satisfied and appreciate
what I have now.
The pain never goes away
and neither do the memories,
looking so long
at a door that has closed
only hurts you more,
it hinders you from achieving,
from getting into
the next opened door.
So I celebrate my past,
forgive all that went wrong
and appreciate what I have now.
Am learning to live today
and letting bygones
be bygones.
letting the past
live in the past
and improving on today.
Looking for that smile
anywhere I can,
for this is my life,
my joy, my piece, my love
and am not letting it go away.

My Ex.

I texted her last night, told her of my idea, shared a simple truth we held so dear. I told her I miss her, every bit of her. from her soft kisses to warm cuddly affection, I admitted I needed her, though we are no longer together. She has a boyfriend, but still, she is the only one girl who knows, the only one who can interpret love in every touch and single squeeze accompanied by a naughty giggle, She is the only one girl who can take me there, land me safely in paradise and erase my worries. True, I miss her, the simple encounters to complicated situations. essence of love on the bed, passionate kisses on the balcony, she is the only one girl who could make a day like these worth trying to live, She knew the simple tricks to bend time and turn me on, from cuffing me to the bed, to pouring warm chocolate on my chest. I confess she is the only one girl, Who made love seem to revolve the world I told her I miss her, miss how she used to put on a costume and let me tear it off her. I m

Book reviews : momo the monkey arrives & momo makes a mess

Image
Suddenly, something did move. Peeking out from under the monkey’s tummy, a small pair of sad eyes looked up at the children. “Oh, look!” said Geno. “It’s a baby monkey!” she whispered to Alid. She eased the tiny creature from under the tummy. All the children gasped. The author Shariffa Keshavjee has two new books out, “Momo the monkey arrives : Momo the monkey Adventure series,” and   “Momo makes a mess,” a picture book that’s great for reading to children or having them read when alone or aloud in groups. Here, Shariffa   leads readers through the children’s imagination and feelings towards their new found friend and pet, The author blends the ideas of children basic instincts ,innocence and a mixture of   mischievous traits   on how to   get Momo into their home, how to care for Momo and the fun   and chaos that comes with having a monkey in the house. Drawn with a sketchy but confident pencil line, and painted in the clear, saturated colors and pictures,
