When I say...

A few friends are getting married and I have been wondering about those two words "I DO" that will be said on that fateful day. The words that seal or close the deal. The words that ends singleness, that gives the final "Go ahead" or "Permission" for "two to become and live as one". I sometimes wonder what goes through minds when they say utter those words "I DO".





When I say I do
I am saying "I Love You"
in totality, honesty and truth
devoted only to you

When I say I do...
It means every breath I take
will be to inhale the essence of you
encouraged by the love I have for you


When I say I do...
It means my life will be a testimony
to the love, I have been favoured to find in you
Its covering will be my daily experience
It's meanings engraved within my existence

Renewed...


Like flowers filled with morning dew
my heart, with time, is refined
re-built, reshaped and renewed

Ignited with strength and life,
ready to experience love anew

Reluctantly riding on the
wings of patience, I am
encompassed by his essence
intrigued by his love’s ambiance

Eager to experience conversations in earnest
about my love… real love, unselfish love,
unadulterated, pure complex yet simple love;
residing within the walls of my existence
poised to distill its untold richness
in the midst of his gifted presence

Dreams, Hopes, Aspirations...


Dreams, hopes, aspirations
desired manifestations
of promised situations
so near, yet far away

Frustration resides
for time seems to slips away
one tick, one tock, on day a time

But a whispered prayer
of hope and faith, anchored in believe
propels the uproar of renewed visions,
dreams and decisions, making way and room
for the reality and manifestation
of impossible situations

Dreams, hopes, aspirations
desired manifestations of promised situations
so near, yet seemingly far away,
but soon to be a tangible reality
