Life – Beneath The Canvas

Hello Old Friend

Your body felt hollow and light, out of sync as my fingers tighten and released tension to your neck. At times I was rough times smooth but all was formality because my hand had left you limp and crucified to the wall. Today was different. It was like two leaves dancing with the wind, ItContinueContinue reading “Hello Old Friend”

Beware of the Chameleon in sheep’s wool

Beware of the chameleon wrapped in sheeps wool for he comes with a seductive sleep when nights are lonely. He will be your footrest when your heels are dented with heaviness. When the days are cold, his breathe will gently warm your hands and his eyes will meet yours as the night slips into aContinueContinue reading “Beware of the Chameleon in sheep’s wool”

Art on rooftops

My neck was swaying with the rooftops as my eyes were seduced by the artistic ensembles of colours, shapes and stories. Another one, and another one, there’s another one. Week on week the same sequence, yet it felt unfamiliar. My trance was interrupted as 2 gentlemen with unkempt dressings disturbed the musty air and crossedContinueContinue reading “Art on rooftops”

Safety in the zone…..

We all have that place that we can all escape to. Where everything makes sense and you’re always right even when you know you’re wrong.

You do too much even when it’s not needed….

These words have stuck with me ever since. Sometimes only the person who is close to you and knows your character is the person you need to turn to for some hard truths. Until I heard these words I was a busy body, all day everyday. Strange feelings overtook when I stood still. I didn’tContinueContinue reading “You do too much even when it’s not needed….”

The littlest things…..

Let me just be real for a minute. Not everything is great but I am thankful for the short times I have to breathe. Being an assistant is never easy; you are just high demand all the time so blood pressure is just elevated a little bit. I still have days when I go homeContinueContinue reading “The littlest things…..”

Half baked cookie….

I like cookies, all sorts of cookies, chocolate chip, raisin, peanut, smarties *drools*…if I had a blue onsie I would be the cookie monster everytime I brought a cookie home, sadly this post is not about cookies or comfortable onsies..it’s about being a jack of all trades, Hansie-my-kneg (Afrikaan), Homme-à-tout-faire (French), Tamokuteki wa Mugeidesu (Japanese), سبع صنايع والبخت ضايعContinueContinue reading “Half baked cookie….”

Forgiveness is the key….

Inspiration on a journey again, only this time the carriage is empty. Funny how my moments of inspiration always happen when I am away from home. Tried to make peace with my past but it kept coming back to haunt me so finally I decided to confront it. There was no sunshine when he hadContinueContinue reading “Forgiveness is the key….”
