THE GIRL

When she walked into the place
I knew right then and there
There must be something different about this girl
Her dress, her style
From the way she talked
One can say she's heaven sent.

It's not until when I got close to her
That's when I got to understand her
She says she doesn't take food colour
But who knows what she takes in her room
That's discussion for another day.

Her favourite colour is black
It's no doubt it complements her light-skinned body
Her skin seems to glow when exposed to the sun
She's indeed a gemstone

When she smiles
You can see her well aligned dental formula
From the incisors to molars
They are as sparkling white as snow
One can spot them from a distance.

I AM A POET

I am a poet,
And it's not by chance,
Inspiring people through my pen and paper,
Is all I do,
Giving back hope to the souls,
Souls that have despaired in life,
Encouraging and holding their hands,
Make them see life in a bigger picture,
For a better tomorrow,
Cause hope is all they need.



I am a poet,
And not by chance,
Spreading love to both young and old,
Is what makes me happy,
Making them feel that there is someone who cares,
Someone who's concerned about them,
Cause all we need is love,
And love is in the air.



I am a poet,
And it's not by chance,
Making the world a better place,
Is what keeps me moving,
A world where all people are equal despite their races,
Where whites mix with the blacks and coloured,
A world free of crime,
Where people won't live in fear of their lives,
A world free of corruption,
Where the majority and the minority coexist freely,
A world free from wars,
That's the kind of world we need for children and children's children.
