ORIGINALLY WRITTEN 11/12/13

I've been trying to scrub out the love letter you wrote in my heart. 
New wounds open above the old, scratches and scabs turn into scars that never heel. 
So I tried to bath them in liquor and hide them in sin,
but I still remember that some time, 'long ago a boy told me he likes the way I sometimes cry at silly things like not being able to find my favorite ice cream. 

I've tried planting things you do to annoy me over it. 
like chewing your nails, snoring when you're drunk;
smelling like red wine and Marlboro cigarettes and a hint of weed;
like telling me you can't remember why you ever fell in love with me;
like "come on baby you're not shining, shine for me".
But nothing grew, Nothing but an annoyance that I sent you a text last night
to which you replied "K".
despite the fact that I said I love you.

DAY 5 A LETTER TO YOUR DREAMS

How are they so many of you? Lord. I can't keep up. Maybe I take too many naps and sleep too long. I feel like I'm always chasing... Always so confused and for a very long time I sat and watched. Then I turned twenty. And as if for some reason God decided that Twenty was the year. Doors opened and we walked through. I can see you clearly now. Everyday's to do list is one step closer to I made it. And every sleep less night is one less dream and for once I'm really glad man. I'm really fucken glad I'm not feeling like you're slipping away. I'm trying to keep up. I'm really trying to stay awake.

Somethings I'm Excited About

Number1 I haven't gotten the email confirming whether my poem has made the finally selection for this. But I'm excited and I hope to be getting a confirmation soon. :) I made into the "semi-final"round I guess. Not that its a competition but I'm happy. I will be even happier if I make the selection for the final online Fusion. Even if i don't. I'm really proud of all the Batswana Poets that made it. :) voice newspaper article on the project 2. Botswana Amateur Arts Festival. again confirmation will follow. :)

Sweets, chocolate, pastries, coffee and other little treats

It smells of lovely scents of sugar and cinnamon and glorious coffee. I've never been to a bakery this beautiful. i loved it. i brought home dozens of little treats. :) And the coffee was heavenly... i had 2 cups.
