A MOTHER'S REJECTION
Being rejected by a mother
Is the worst thing that could happen to a child?
Growing up knowing that my mother did not love me,
that she resented me, the woman who
Carried me in her womb for nine months?
The woman who brought me to life.
If she did not want me, why not abort me?
Why not give me away to a loving family?
Why raise me only to make my life a misery?
No love, no hugs, no support, no kind words
Always putting me down, telling me what
A failure I am, how ugly I am
How unlovable I am.
Thank you mom, I took it all in;
Your words became my traits.
Ugly, Useless and unlovable
Every time you pushed me away, I became vulnerable
Falling into the hands of predators
They beat me, robbed me, lied to me and hurt me mom
I needed you then; but I knew you did not want me, so I stayed.
It was then that I met a friend
Her name Stella Artois, they say she is French
She made me feel comfortable, relaxed
Calm and beautiful, lovable, invincible
She began to introduce me to her friends
I met Vodka, Whiskey, Heineken, Brandy,
Sambuca, Tequila you name it
They were all good to me at first
They understood my situation, my pain and anguish
So they made the pain go away for a while
I learnt a little later
They all belonged to the same family
Sharing one last name
ALCOHOL
Then it made sense, they all had the same effect on me;
Same results.
Not lost track mom, only trying to connect
Make a link, a chain perhaps a difference
ALCOHOL made me feel relaxed and happy
For a while at least.
My abusers, they beat me, apologized and then made love to me
But you mom,
No apology, no remorse and no regret.

Funny part about this one is that is actually happening to me right now!! Talk of being precise. I just pray that she did not curse herself in the process (If you were to make sense to the statement
“Futi hawazi baba wako..”
"S akafa achida DNA yako"
"Wakabarwa uri benzi"
How does a child cope with her mother constantly telling them;
"uribenzi".
"Ndakabara benzi.
I am now 51 years old and just a month ago she keeps saying it. She tells everyone not to listen to me because I was born crazy. A mother... who constantly reminds her daughter that she was born crazy from the age of 4 up to now. Not only does she say it to me, she tells the whole family. It is for that reason i receded from the world. I did not want them to be scared of this NUTTER that my mum born.
"Ibenzi. Richadzoka. Ndi pengaudzoke"
Now even my siblings call me "pengaudzoke". Meaning, I disappear for some time but always comes back.
They have totally misinterpreted the whole scenario. I go back because I care and love them and I miss them. Even though each time i go back I am pushed away but will still come back. "Pengaudzoke".
"I benzi redu, richadzoka". And stupedly I DO go back.. But for how long now? I shall do the math and calculate how much milage is left. Because like most things, I operate from energy
Together Forever
We are apart today
But our spirits remain entwined
We are apart this day
But it is not going to be forever
One day we will be in the same kitchen
Cooking dinners and baking cakes
One day we will be holding hands
Sharing a tete-a-tete and laughter
One day we will be sharing dreams
Our secrets so grim
We will learn to appreciate each other
And embrace one another
We will reminisce the past
And make up for lost years
I will nurture you till I am frail
I will love you till I die
When I die, I will become your guardian angel
Protecting you through night and day
You and I, will be together forever
Together forever, till eternity
No death will do us part.

"Special dedication to my two beautiful girls"
my Angel and my Star
I did not just get one
But two bundles of joy
You bring out the best in me
For as long as I know you are safe
I will always have a smile on my face
I will always have hope, love and faith
How you two make me feel
No other can make me feel that way
You are my sunshine on a rainy day
And my laughter on a gloomy day
You are everything I am
Everything I need and more
You are the air that I breathe
You two make me complete
You are a part of me, and I, a part of you
So never you forget my precious gems
Mummy loves you both very much
More than anything in this world
You are my Angel and my star.

A letter to Miss Donaldson
I am trying to speak, but the tears running down my cheeks
have overtaken my words. “Breathe in, breathe out”, I tell myself.
I give out a deep sigh. I cannot speak but my pen will.
My pen will tell the world what you have done to me
What have you done to me Miss Donaldson? Why destroy me this way?
Did I not welcome you into my Home? Did I not feed you when you were hungry?
Did I not offer you a drink when you were thirsty?
I offered you friendship and loyalty; And what did I get in return?
You came into my home and robbed me whilst I slept.
You took everything away from me then had me locked away.
I was minding my own business before you came knocking on my door.
I welcomed you with open hands and a warm heart.
But you, my friend, had other things on your mind. Do you realise what you have done to me?
Are you aware that you have cost me my life?
To you it was just a laptop; something to sell for a quick buck in order to feed your fix.
To me, it was more than a computer; It was important documentation of my status.
Music that took me down memory lane. Games that occupied my free time.
Fifty two chapters of the story of my life. Years of ideas, thoughts and emotions.
You robbed me of special moments; Pictures and videos of my precious children
I do not see my children often; only two hours a month I get.
But through my laptop I got to see them everyday. But you my friend,
took all that away from me. Took it all in an instant without second thought.
I confronted you because I had the right. Witnesses saw you trying to sell my laptop.
I know, because they described it. I was hurt, angry and upset.
We fought, I sustained injuries; you did not.
But it was you that rang the police. Reported assault because you knew I was on licence.
Police did not touch you, “No evidence” they stated.
Despite my injuries they said you were defending yourself
Because you told them I threw the first punch.
What about me? Do I not have a right to defend my property?
Today you walk free and sleep in your bed. Looking after and enjoying your children.
I am here today, locked up in a prison cell. All because I welcomed you into my home
You waited for me to fall asleep then you violated me.
You took my life, my home and my freedom. My children have lost their mother; yet again.
All because I welcomed you into my home.
You are the one who stole from me and yet you walk free.
You left me bloodied and scarred and yet I am the one sitting in jail
It leaves me with a lot of questions
Where is the justice in this world? How are you managing to sleep at night?
Are you sorry Miss Donaldson? If you could take back time, would you?
Or do you just not care. I have nothing left to my name except the prison clothes I wear.
All because I welcomed you into my home
I was lonely and I thought you were genuine
I was trying to rebuild my life after serving a three year jail sentence
Before you came knocking on my door, I was doing well
I was moving slowly but I was moving forward
But you, my friend, put me back behind bars
PRISON, a place I wanted to forget forever.

“To the woman responsible for my arrest that led to my recall back in prison. I have been incarcerated now for forty three days and counting. She did not even bother to turn up to Court because she knew she would get caught out. Charges against me were dismissed on the 13th November 2018 at Leicester magistrate’s court and yet I am still imprisoned. I lost everything because of her, and that is why I say, “God Bless you Z.D for the pain and disruption you have caused and all that you took from me.”

MEMORY LANE… by Mimie
Lets walk down memory lane
Or lets just stay here
Lets stay here and forget about the memories of the past
Forget how we got here
Forget why else got here
Focus on the now the now
That now which would be nothing without the past
So we go back to the past
And remember…
Yes… remember
Reminisce… what ever word that fits
But still we go back
Go back and re-live
Just to be with them, ONE last time…….
Poems by Mimie
Be very afraid
You caused the deepest pain and wounded my heart
Your words of hate have scarred me
If you were an enemy, I would have endured
But it is you, a trusted friend and blood we share
You are a wolf dressed in sheep's skin
When eyes are watching, you play the victim
When night falls your coat comes off
Revealing your true colours and wicked motives
Your insides rot from your wickedness
The darkness of your heart consumes you
You can fool them all, but you cannot fool me
I know who you are, I know your ways.
The day shall come when the darkness of night
Can no longer hide you
When the light of day shall expose you
Your people will see you unmasked.
The devil that has been living amongst them
They will shun you and drive you into the wilderness
There, you will die alone with no-one to pity you.
A slow and painful death you will encounter.
The days are nearing my blood
So be afraid, your days are numbered.
Be very afraid.

MY COLOUR...
My colour is quintessential
A statement to those in mourning
Dress code representing Goth
It overcomes day and becomes night
Close your eyes and that colour you see
In chess, soldiers have to defend
It is the winning ball in snooker
Comes before Jack and place your bets
Place it before Smith, you have a profession
Before Pool, it will take you to a lovely seaside resort
Before Beauty to name a famous horse
Your name in this book causes scandal
Goes before Sabbath and you have a big band
This is my favorite colour
Makes me look ten inches thinner
It blends with most colours to create a perfect picture
Creating an elegant look
And I am proud to be............

Another Sad And Gloomy Day
This morning I woke up with tears in my eyes
I asked myself a series of questions
Questions with no definitive answers
I looked out the window and saw a cloudy sky
Another sad and gloomy day
I knelt down on my knees
Feeling the hard and cold floor of prison
I repeated the Lord’s Prayer
And recited the forgiveness prayer
Followed by my Hail Mary’s
I then asked a lot of questions
Questions I needed my God to hear
What is my real purpose on this here earth?
What exactly am I doing here?
Why do you keep me here?
Amongst all these wicked people?
I own nothing and have nobody
So I asked again
What is my purpose here on earth?
What am I doing here?
In this harsh and cruel world?
“Please Father”, I cried out
“Put me out of my misery;
And let me rest in peace.”

EVIL AT MIDNIGHT
Ding dong, ding dong goes the midnight chimes
Alarm bells for the evil to wake and go to work
Ding dong midnight chimes have become my alarm clock
Alarm to go to court
The evil are hunting for prey
Wanting to destroy, to kill and steal
Their easiest prey are those sleeping
Unaware of the dangers lurking
But I, they cannot touch
I am in the Supreme Court with the Almighty
Pleading with Him not to let them hurt me
"Dear Lord, they are here, knocking on my door
I can hear them thumping
They want to come in and take some more
I have nothing left, they have taken everything
Left me with nothing
Yet they are here Lord, wanting more
What is it they are after?
I know, they want my blood and my soul
Dear Lord, please do not let them in"

"Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Sound of rain hitting the roof
My spirit gets high, and I become alive
My heart beats to the rhythm
I stand by the window and watch it pour
Beautiful clear water coming from the heavens
I open my window, the smell is mesmerizing
The sound, music in my ears
Suddenly, my soul is thirsty
My body overcome with adrenaline
My urges are getting stronger
Before I know I am walking down the street
The feeling of rain hitting against my flesh
Sensational and entrancing
Like a Prima Dona I sing and splash
Nothing beats this feeling I endure
I jump, I skip, I absorb
I reach climax and I scream
Thank you heavens for quenching my soul
I feel new like I have been born again."
"for my love for rain. When it rains, I become alive. My spirit settles in a haven. It is peaceful. Serene. Calm. Relaxing. Overwhelmingly high". KiDe - 2019
END OF THE ROAD
Hello, is anybody there?
Can anyone hear me?
I just want to talk
Is anybody listening?
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, can you hear me?
I see nothing beyond affliction
It has been a bumpy and rocky road
With pricking thorns and stumbling stones
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, do you understand what I tell you?
As a child, I felt unwanted, outcast
An outsider in my own home
I have been physically abused
Sexually molested
And emotionally persecuted
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, are you listening to me?
I thirst and crave love, but been denied
They took my children
Said I was an "unfit" mother
Killed my partner right before my eyes
They locked me up behind bars
They took my home and my car
Destroyed all my belongings and memorabilia
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, are you there?
I've been accused and punished for things I didn't do
I have been ridiculed and shamed
Used and betrayed by those close to me
I have lost faith, hope and trust
Anger builds up inside me
Spreading like a disease
Frustration follows together with deep sadness
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, I hope you can hear me
I am lonely and afflicted
I have nobody, I am on my own
I have nothing to my name
Except a prison sentence and a deportation order
They threaten to send me home with nothing
Not even my own children to whom I gave birth
They say, “It is in the best interest of the children."
I ask myself, but how could this be?
Did God not give me these children?
Was it not a special gift and blessing to me from Him?
I have reached the end of my tether
Hello, I am saying my last
I feel empty, helpless and hopeless
A future without my children is bleak
My soul is in turmoil
Hope has been replaced with darkness
Love replaced with sorrow
My body moves but my spirit is dead
My flesh is battered, my bones broken
I am weary and pulverized
What life does the future hold for me?
I see nothing beyond torment
I have reached the end of my tether.

FEELING
My heart beats faster
And my brain works harder
I see my chest moving up and down
The heavy breathing makes a sound
My body is electrifyingly hot
And I feel the chains of sweat drop
Pupils are dilated, eyelids struggling
My heart becomes a boom-box
Playing loud on fast forward
Creating a crescendo
Heartbeat, faster, racing
Breathing, heavier, charging
A weird and frightening experience
Creating a tingling sensation down my spine
Eyes shut down, mouth agape
I am helpless and vulnerable becoming prey to the vulture
I have lost myself

The fear of death... by Mimie
Do we fear it or does it fear us
Does it fear we will come in numbers and make it's job easier
Maybe we fear it
Or we fear the idea of death not the concept of it
Well I don't know who fears who
Or why they fear at all
All I know, is why I fear it or the idea of it
The idea of not being remembered
Not missed
Not moved
No care
The fear of the dark space
And eternally nameless
Maybe just an idea not a fear.

Battle in the Mind... by Mimie
I don't know how to put it though I want to put it
Emptiness the feeling of being around yet alone
You there you not maybe it's not it
Maybe it's just silence
The need to scream but you can't
The need to be detained
The need to be understood
Yet not understanding
The need to stop and look but not looking
The need to walk into a trap and still wake up
The need to live yet dead
That's how it is
The battle in the mind.

HANGING BY THE THREAD
I am hanging by the thread
It hurts because it too thin
Cutting through my palms.
I am bleeding
But I got to hang on
I MUST hang on.
Although I do not see the point.
I am exhausted.
My mother never wanted me,
Now my own children do not want me.
My husband left me,
My soul mate died in an automobile accident
I killed him; I drove the car that smashed into a fence
Hit him in the head, crushed his skull
Took him instantly.
I caused that
Everywhere I go, I see people,
Colours, smells. Events, dreams, nightmares!
All reminders.
They imprisoned me for three years, thought that would help;
But no…, they made it worse
Now I have the crash AND the prison memories
The loss of freedom
The taking away of my two beautiful children
The loss of my house, car, belongings and memorabilia
I lost everything and my Nicholas is gone

Heartbreak
Who the hell are you?
Where the hell do you come from?
You destroy many a lives
Take them to the slaughter
Hurting people comes easy to you
Pushing people to the edge
You are responsible for many suicides
Drug addicts and alcoholics
Prostitutes and gamblers
Why so cold? Why so many victims?
You affect them all, young and old
You are ruthless and volatile
Selfish and devilish
Every minute someone loses a life
All because of you Heartbreak
Who gave birth to you?
Friends turning on each other
Lovers murdering one another
You erupt like a volcano
Swallow folk like an avalanche
We perish and yet you don't stop
I beg you; go back to where you come from
For you are not wanted here.

HORENDOUS PRISON EXPERIENCE
It is the end of a gym session
Enter five prison officers, all female
Two Labradors follow alongside
We are ordered to line up
One by one we are directed to the changing rooms
A strip search!
"A strip search, what is that?" I ask
Wait and see, I am told
It is my turn to go in
"Can you take off your clothes!"
One of the officers orders
I strip, leaving my underwear
"Everything please!" says the officer and she is not smiling
What my underwear? I pause in dismay
Looked her straight in the eye,
"Really?" without actually saying it
"I said everything!" she repeats
Voice with authority and of authority
Slowly I unfasten my bra
It drops on the floor
My pants next, one leg out then the other
I am searched, completely naked
In front of two fully dressed prison officers
Touching my naked body,
My breast, neck, ears, arms, thighs, legs, everywhere
Horrendous, repugnant, unnerving
"Turn around and bend over"
YOU BETTER BE KIDDING ME!!!
You do not obey orders. You are nicked
Spend some time in female isolation
"Down the block" as we called it
I came out feeling degraded
In shock and disbelief, tears flooding
"Did that just happen to me?"
I saw some women tears
Others cursing and screaming, shouting obscenity
After all the searching, they found nothing
The humiliation, degradation and violation
All for nothing
No apologies but more orders
"Back to the block ladies!"
'Ladies'? Is that how you treat ladies?

Prison LIMERICK
I am a foreigner
From the highlander
I am in ESOL class
But i don’t know if i will pass
What is the point Mr. Hollander?
They say i should learn English
But i am not British
I want to go home
Where i belong
All this makes me feverish
The judge gave me five years
It is like climbing Mount Everest
I need to be at ease
But i cannot get peace
My brain is boiling all up my hairs
I finished my sentence months ago
But it is like waiting for omega
I await my ticket
But it is like a game of cricket
Please sir, hurry i want to go home

Todays’s feeling
I feel as if my soul has divorced my body.
My body feels like an empty shell.
Each sound echoes… on and beyond.
I reach out for my soul; but it is not there…
I am just an empty shell.
Hollow.
Today, I sit upon to seek my soul.
I shall call out, see if it recognises thee voice.
If not, I will keep searching.
Through dark woods. Through busy streets.
Even dark alleyways.
I am determined not to stop.
Yes,… I understand that could be a risk.
A risk that could further adrift me from my soul.
But TODAY…
I must search.

We All Bleed The Same
I watch you walk around full of hate
What happened to you Mr. Blake?
You used to carry around a flare
Prancing around in fame
Now you have different game
Looking for someone to blame
Carrying around your empty plate
Once full of steak
Since you came back from Spain
You have not been the same
You can't even walk straight
Without bumping into shame
Turn over the next page
You might get a different taste
Your life has become so fake
Left with not even one mate
Now you seek a life to claim
Someone to slain
Why have you become so vain?
Like you have no blood in your vein
Could you be going through a phase?
Or are you just lost in a maze
Stop and wipe off that stain
And stop the slaying
Because we all bleed the same.

I welcomed you in my home
Arms open wide
I fed you when you were hungry
Wiped your tears when you wept
I listened when you poured your heart
I cuddled you till you slept
I watched you sleep like a baby
Kissed your forehead goodnight
Both sound asleep in each other's arms
Enjoying the comfort and ease
But the next day you switched on me
You beat me and you robbed me
Cleared all the funds from my bank account
Left me with a bruised face
Aches and pains in my body and heart
I ask myself why, nothing makes sense
One minute I am V.I.P
The next i am an enemy, a punching bag
I do not get you, I never will
I believed it would change
It never will, it is what it is
It is a shame really because in me
You had a true friend
When it comes to my friends
There is no limit
You left me bruised and broke
But guess what? I am doing just fine
It is you I worry about
I have taken my pain and sorrow
To the Almighty court
Told the judge what you caused me
I fear for you, what He might do to you
But it is not up to me now
I have washed my hands and cleansed my heart
Love you? Yes, I still do
Be with you?
I cannot risk my safety and sanity
It is a shame really
In me you had a friend for life
Oh by the way, thanks for chopping my hair
The two locks you cut
Have your fingerprints all over them!

My Fruits
I hope when I see my children today
They do not see the sadness in me
I hope that my children today
Will be the ones to bring a smile on my face
The ones to bring back hope and mojo that I once had
Because life is not worth living right now
I have willpower to motivate and build
But on its own, will-power is not enough
I need support, people around me
People I can trust to lean on and fall back on
When the going gets tough
I need my children in my life
They are the air that I breathe
Without them I will not survive
I am doomed for self-destruction and death
I feel suffocated and unable to breathe
My children are so near and yet so far
The further and longer they are out of reach
The more I self-destruct; the furthest they go
It is a no-win situation and yes lose
I live in fear and anguish each day of my life
Sorrow and hollow fill my days
I watch through the window as the world goes by without me
I feel numb and non-existent
The world is living me to waste away and rot
Taking the only thing that matters to me
The only two people that bring meaning to my life
“The fruits of my womb”
From my flesh and my blood
My life and breath.

‘typd 19/10/19’
Stranger in the street
Our paths met on a Saturday morning just after dawn
I was doing the walk of shame, he, the walk of fame
He was handsome and gentle, cannot stop thinking about him,
Something about him seems as though I met him before.
Our encounter lasted less an hour but has left a deep impact
Could he been the one sent to save me?
I had picked up a man the night before, went to his place and had sex
Left me upset and distressed so I left before he woke
Birds still chirping, the world still sleeping, I walk
The roads were unfamiliar because we walked in the night
Soon I realised, I was lost, and there was nobody about
I continued to walk, hoping I would come across someone
Moments later, there he was, coming towards me
Stopped him and asked for directions, too complicated to follow
I ask him to show me I just wanted to get home,
With no hesitation, he turns back and walks with me
I begin to tell him my sad stories, pouring my heart out
It felt good to talk to him, I was open about everything
No lies, honest, even about the shameful and painful past
It felt good to talk to stranger, he listened attentively
He did not judge me, in fact, he empathised with me
“No woman should have to go through that” he says
We reached a building I recognise, a point we could have parted
But there is a distraction, a girl, also wandering the street
She is a mess, wanting a taxi to go to Uppingham
Me and my handsome stranger offer to help
She had become “our” problem, we both show concern
Offered her to come to my place and we call a taxi
Before the taxi arrives, she walks away and disappears
I have stranger boy at the door, so I invite him in
He kissed me, even though he knew I had been with someone
It might be a man thing, but he was different, he was a saint
Because I told him about my sexual frustrations
He wanted to make it right, a gesture that touched my heart
He was kind, warm and gentle and because he reached my heart
My kiss was full of passion, different from recent, my heart beats fast
I continue to kiss him; I experience a deep sensation in my abdomen
I take off my clothes and stand naked before him, he gazes at me
I let him pleasure me, it felt like heaven, sore but nice
I moan and groan with great pleasure as his fingers
Vigorously vibrate inside me, I watched him trying hard to please me
Where art thou, my handsome stranger, I miss you
Your lips tasted sweet and my lips enjoyed kissing you
You filled my heart with passion and hope
Belief that I can love once again and that I can be loved
I know it is not going to be you, you said you would find me someone
Oh, how I wish it would be you and that you stayed the same
as the morning we met when the rest of the world was sleeping.
Before you pass me on, I desire to have one night of passion with you
Give me just one night to love you and make love to you
One night to reciprocate the love and desire I now hold for you
Come, feed my appetite, and quench my thirst dear handsome stranger
My loins burn for you every night, longing for your body
I want us to make love to each other, take time to explore one another
My heart and my mind, tell me you can take me to places
Places I have never been before, take me to the garden of Eden
My handsome stranger on street, whom I met
When the rest of the world was still sleeping.

THE SYSTEM…
They will politically manipulate you.
If you go against them, they will politically and LEGALLY change the laws to justify their reasons for being inadequate.
They will change the laws (with immediate effect!!!) to justify their faults, failures, mistakes and even accidents.
(I think that they need to be reminded that sometimes unfortunate accident happen.) They do not take responsibility because they MUST come out clean from the sewer; just like Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption.
But you see, Dufresne was always clean before shit got to him.
The SYSTEM got to him.
Nobody needs to know that I was in the sewer right…!!!?
So lets get moving!
You.. get me a new suit!
You !…call my barber?
You…! do this do that… As long as I come out clean.”
But how many of us are suffering because of that system?
Because, they have to come out of the other side
Looking CLEAN… Whatever it takes.

I wake up each morning with the same thoughts
The thoughts of my children
Wherever they are, are they happy?
How do they feel within themselves?
How do they feel about me?
Do they miss me?
Or are they used to live without me
Do they think about me?
How much propaganda have they been fed?
Will we still have the same bond?
Will they still love and respect me?
Do they look forward to coming home to me?
Are we ever going to have our lives back?
Should i look forward to a reunion?
Will my children get their mother back?
Father left them as babies
Dad died in a car accident
Mother is serving a prison sentence
Will they ever recover from all this?
Will I be able to make it right?
Can I ease their pain?
I wake up each morning
Same thoughts, same questions.

WALKING DEAD
Knock knock who’s there
Its me. Me who
Me the walking dead
Yes, that’s right
I am a walking dead
Walking dead in an empty shell
I see mothers and daughters on the go
But I try to ignore
The sight of their happiness
A reminder of my emptiness
Their joys and laughter
My flaws and failure
I wish I were blind
So I could not see
I wish I were deaf
So I could not hear
My heart breaks by day
My eyes water by night

Love Always
I missed you on our visit, but that's okay
I was going to be for three hours anyway
It took a long time to do my hair
Only to be told you were not here
They keep messing me about
I wonder what will happen next time around
I think they are trying to break me
But they don't know anything about me
I am as hard as nails
I will not stop even if it rains
For my children I will go to the moon and back
Determination I do not lack
Do not worry; I am coming to get you
If they think they can stop me, they are a fool
We lost three hours today
But we have each other always
In our hearts and souls
Our love will last always

"Special dedication to my baby girls"
HMP Peterborough, May 2016
Love & Lust
I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling
I could not help the way I was feeling
I thought of him day in and day out
Sometimes thinking out loud
The sensation in my body was extensive
I wanted him but it was expensive
Sometimes I took us to a faraway place
Where it was just us and space
I submitted myself with no bother
Whilst he pleasured me like no other
In him I was lost
With him it was lust
He took me to the land of ecstasy
But only in my fantasy
I wanted him real bad
He was like no other I had had
One day it all became real
His warm body I could feel
Just like I had imagined in my mind
He took me from behind
We both reached cloud nine
And I knew he was mine
What began as lust
Became true love
Written by KDW
Dedicated to "Nikolas"
RIP
My lover
His presence made my blood boil
His touch made my loins burn
His deep voice made my clitoris throb
My inside lubricated
I had never craved for someone the way I craved him
I wanted to feel his naked flesh against my hungry body
He scooped me in his arms and flung me down on the bed
Our eyes penetrated into each other
I felt his warm breath on my neck as he whispered into my ear
I experienced a strange sensation in the pit of my abdomen
To the magical sound of his voice
Kissing and caressing; ripping off clothes
Exploring each other’s bodies
His head buried between my breasts
Hands stroking my slender legs
With a hungry searching sensation
His mouth accommodated my erect nipples
Sucking and brushing them with his wet lips
I burned with desire and expectation
He kissed my stomach down to my lower abdomen
Soon his head was between my legs
With his vibrating tongue, he licked and sucked my clitoris
Until it was hard and erect
My heart beat violently; a gasp of pleasure escaped my lips
“Take me” I cried
With passion and tenderness he raised his narrow hips
I smothered a sigh as he thrust into me
He was warm, hard and delicious
We were both floating above cloud nine
The love making was beautiful
I watched him as he plunged in and out of me
I felt as though I might faint with pleasure
Our eyes never left each other, our gaze so deep
We explored each other’s mouth
His arms tightened around me
I screamed out in ecstasy and I burst
And he exploded inside me
With a roar like a lion
Satisfying my large sexual appetite for him
What started as lust, blossomed into beautiful love

“A special dedication”
The Air I Breathe
You are the love of my life
My Angel and my Star
The Angel that guides me through shadows
And the Star that shines through my life
Forgive me for my mistakes
Mistakes that have caused you pain and disruption
One day I shall sit down and with you
And I will explain
Maybe then you may understand
Life has not been very kind to us
I hope and pray every day that evils goes away
And have goodness back in our lives
The love and laughter we once shared.
You are my life and my world
You are the air that I breathe
Each day without you is a struggle
I cannot survive without you in my life
One day perhaps you might understand
I love you with all my heart and soul
All I need is you back in my life
To fill the emptiness that has filled my heart
Without my Angel and my Star in my life
There is no reason to live
Without you in my life, there is no air to breathe
Because you my Angel and my Star
Are the air that I breathe.

“Dedicated to my two beautiful girls, Nandi & Zindzi. Born 03/07/2002 & 16/01/2007 respectively”
The one I was afraid of byKD.W 07/2017
I was afraid of him and yet he was unbeknown to me
I thought about him every night
How it would be and how I longed for him
I imagined him touching me and making love to me
He had a body and soul, but had no face
I wondered how I would feel, looking up his face
How his face would look like looking down on me
Would I be freaked by it? Would I be haunted by it?
It had been such a long time, since I had someone
When my love was taken away from me
A few hours after he had made sweet love to me
Almost four year today, I have been afraid.
The one I was afraid of, I met one night
A night of freedom and excitement
He touched my soul with his music
Mr Dj, playing on the turntables
His choice of music, as if he knew me
Alone on the dance floor, I let my body rock
I drown myself in his music; I let him take me away
To a land where there is no pain
A land that soothes my soul
I do not feel the singer, but I feel Mr Dj
Playing my songs and kneading my troubled soul
My body moving to the rhythm of his beat
I look at him, I like him, and I take him home
Was it great? I do not remember
I had knocked quite a few
I remember but one thing, he was gentle and sweet
The one I was afraid of, I feared no more
Thank you Mr Dj for touching my soul
Thank you Mr Dj for curing my fear
Thank you Mr Dj for being the one I was afraid of.
They took everything
One by one they came
All of them, they came
They all came to take something from me
Each one of them took something
As if I was not entitled
As if I did not deserve
They took it all for themselves
They took everything and left me with nothing
Those who did not take found other ways for me
Ways to hurt me and taunt me
Taking away my dignity
They beat me, choked me and tortured me
They all violated me and left me broken
Physically, verbally, emotionally, sexually
Lashes with a leather belt
A slap here and a punch there
Electric cords and broomsticks
Even chopped my hair as punishment
It was not just one person, it was all of them
They took, they battered, they ridiculed
They teased, mocked and tantalised
My dignity, they took
My sanity, they took
My virginity, they took
Even my very own fruits of my womb
They took; they all took for themselves
Left me bare
With nothing to my name.
Nothing!!
Because they took everything.
Wounded
I watched her
I watched her wither away
Like a flower under the hot sun
She had no more life left in her
"A walking dead", I called her
But others called her "a walking miracle"
Lost and broken, but she held on
I pictured her in the park on the swings
It was a smooth ride
The wind blowing against her body
A good feeling, almost healing
Only there was a hindrance
The ropes she held on to for support
They were on fire and her hands burnt
It hurt, but the peace and serenity,
The sensation of the wind against her body
Enough to keep on holding on
Focused only on the good feeling
Even though her hands were charred
Almost engulfed in flames
She looked up in the skies
And smiled, as the wind kept blowing.

MY Madness by D.W
My madness is the need to be loved.
The need to be cared for.
The need to be touched.
The need to be paid attention to.
The need to share intimacy.
The need for affection.
The need for happiness.
The need for peace.
The need for HARMORNY.
The need to be heard.
The need not to be judged when I speak or behave.
The need to have somebody carry me in their thoughts everyday.
My madness is… NOT satisfying my needs.
MY LIFE
It is never going to end is it?
The pain, the hurt and the torment
For as long as i can remember
They have travelled with me and the tears have followed too
Is life not supposed to be fun?
To be enjoyed with friends and family?
I have two beautiful children and yet I am alone
I have friends and family around me, and yet i am lonely
Will i ever find happiness and satisfaction?
Right now I am on a journey chasing phantoms
Travelling at a thousand miles per hour
Adrenaline is rising, emotions running wild
It is terror, if i do not stop, I will crash to destruction
But somehow I cannot stop
The road is bumpy; i see a danger zone ahead
But i cannot stop; I need saving now before i fall
I need redemption because I am falling into the pit of death
I no longer have control over my life
Let alone my children's
Others decide what to do with me
They sit round a desk and make plans for me
I do not know what the future holds, they hold it for me
What they decide, i have to comply
Failure to comply they will lock me up
Again
This my friends is what my life has become
A puppet on a string
Written by KDW
MY JACK
I met him few weeks after release
Handsome beyond words
Only my eyes can tell you what they saw
Even I could not believe he looked at me
He took care of me when I needed him
Protected me and kept me safe
Our friendship was developing fast, too fast
Fifteen years my junior
Most nights were spent together,
Laughing, dancing, singing or making love
Sometimes walked through the night, holding hands
Everything he did was familiar
The way he was with me
The way I was with him
Like we had known each other forever
I was soon in love with Jack
Wanted to be with him always and forever
Enjoy sleeping in his arms and waking up beside him
"Just like old times" i smiled with a deep sigh
Hold on a minute, "old times?"
That is when reality hit home
Jack was not my Jack, he was my Nikolas
I lost my Nik in a car crash some years back
And he had come back to life, for me
But I soon realised it was just a ghost
The shadow of Nikolas and not my Jack.

I ROCK
To walk a thousand yards
Just to tell me, "You have been sacked"
Could you not wait till next session, only an hour away?
The urge to drive the knife in, too much for you?
Bet you felt real good about yourself afterwards
Felt like a real man, huh?
Let me tell you something, I am Royalty
My mistake does not make me a criminal
I turn heads when I walk in my heels
People drop to the scent of my "poison"
Mouth agape at the swing of my locks
Men drool at the sight of my bosoms
You can take your job but not my purity
Take away my right and my freedom
Can't touch my knowledge and wisdom
You may have authority over me
But you have no authority over the clock
Your hold over me is temporary
Time is ticking; soon, I’ll be outta here
Oh, that cut on my arm, no, not self-harm
The cut was a ritual, a ritual for my tormentors
So wipe that smirk off your face
You believe in humiliation?
I believe in retaliation
Each drop of blood, representing measure of pain
Affliction you cast upon me
Now you have my blood smeared all over you
With my blood on your hands, be warned
Do not be afraid of me, for I will not touch you
But the agony I felt, you too shall feel
By every drop of my blood.
You cannot break me, believe me many have tried
I was born of flesh and blood
But i am made of steel and stone
I am a rock and I rock
I have talent so I will never go low
I don't have a job but I have my writing
No income, but then again what's fifteen sterling a week
Can't buy me prime beef
Would have to work a whole month
To afford my poison Juan Paul Gaultier classique
Thanks but no thanks, not worth the humiliation
So listen you all
Fuck your job
Fuck your shirt and tie
Fuck your cheap after shave
Fuck your authority
And fuck you!!!!!
Peace and out.

ONe more time
If I could hold you in my arms, just one more time
If only you could make love to me, one more time
Only then I could be content. Oops, I told a lie
One more time is not enough
I want to hold you in my arms now and forever
I want you to make love to me all the days of my life
But sadly that cannot be
Because inside you, lies death
Inside your soul, the devil sleeps
I know because you tried to kill me once
It is all strange to think of because I never stopped loving you
Day and night you are in my thoughts
How it would be and could have been, each day it hurts
I miss you deeply, it hurts badly
For I know I can never be with you
It is sad to accept, the only person my heart adores
The only person my body yearns for
Is you my handsome Prince, but you I cannot have
Because in you, a killer dwells
Inside your soul the devil awaits
Any attempt to be with you and my life perishes
Until that demon in you faces death
Sadly I cannot have you ever
It hurts deeply, it hurts badly
That I cannot have you
Not even one more time.

S t a r
April 2006,
A seed was planted in my womb
For nine months
It developed and grew inside me
I felt it kick
And every movement
I spoke and sang to my flower
I nurtured her till she was ready
On January 16th, 2007
My beautiful girl came out of me
One became two
My very own flesh and blood
Today you have become
A shining star
Thank you for choosing me
To be your mother
I will love and cherish you forever.

“Poem I wrote for my baby Zi on her 12th birthday, bvtears rolling down my cheeks. My baby is growing without me; my heart aches”
Reflection in the mirror
I looked at myself in the mirror today
What did I see?
I saw ugly, repulsive and melancholy
How did I feel?
More sadness, more disgust; hideous
Why do I see and feel these things?
Years of rejection, betrayal and failure
When did it all begin?
I don’t know, for as long as I can remember
Where do I go from here?
I look everywhere, I see no way out
Which way do I turn?
My vision is blurred, my mind malfunctions
Will I ever recover from the trauma?
I don’t know, should I?
Can I walk away from this rumpus?
I don’t know, would I?
Shall I take a step back and start again?
I don’t know, must I?
Each day I ruminate; each day I muddle
I know not many things
But I know one thing for sure
The burden upon my shoulders
Becomes heavy and onerous
The darkness surrounding me
Makes it difficult to see
But one thing I know for sure
Is what I saw and felt, when
I looked at myself in the mirror today.

soul music
Every song has a memory, a name and place attached to it
I might not be familiar with the tune
But once the beat hits me
Once it touches my soul it takes me places
Places I have never been before
Now i see, and only now I see
Music is my weakness
Jack once told me, "Do not let your weakness overtake your life"
I have three weaknesses and they control my life
Music, alcohol and sex
They hold me prisoner and destroy potentials
I cannot find the route to escape
Seems they have stolen my powers
Messed up with my head and dumped me in the wilderness
Alone to rot and perish
They are all interlinked
I crave for one and I have to have all three
Every tune is a reminder of my past, present and future
I use alcohol to forget bad memories
Sex to feel loved
And music to sooth my soul
