In our relationships we experience different stages, much like life itself, but fail to acknowledge that it is what needs to happen in order to progress and to learn more from the other individual as much as we need to learn to get to know ourselves within that relationship. And especially as men, it is hard to express ourselves in the way our opposite gender would understand, and that some of our fathers weren’t exactly the perfect example when it came to opening up and leaving behind the swollen ego we carry around to shield our precious manhood’s. This is why we find it difficult to go within and find the root of the problem, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
This book contains experiences within the stages of a relationship that I have experienced and continue experiencing in my life. I have experienced at least four stages within that relationship, in the beginning, when everything is still fresh and all you can think about is the person you just locked eyes with, or someone you bumped into under very unexplainable circumstances but when it comes to love, who needs explanations, right.
So the two of you finally get to talking and find out more about each other, and five to six months down the line the infatuation wears off, you now get to know who this person really is, and the decision whether to stay or you leave.
Or you could find yourself in, situations you have no control over, he/she has left and is out of your life, but you don’t want to let go, what if you don’t have a choice and you can’t ever see him/her again. This is described in the third chapter of the book.
The last chapter describes the realization of finding your life partner, the one, in other words and the decision to live with each other’s shortcomings. Here you’ll find the wonders of love and what it encompasses, but even more so there’s a realization of self. Allowing someone into your own space is not always an easy thing to do, which is why you get into arguments and fights which will not resolve itself, but will need both of your attention to come to terms with the heart of the matter. The last piece (thank you…) that I have rendered is a dedication to all those who have overcome the pressures of a relationship, our parents, grandparents, etc. whose love for one another has stood the test of time, through the hurt and turmoil that they have encountered in their lives together and who has prospered into living, well, as only celluloid would deliver, happily ever after, depending on how you want to see it. In the end love shines through…
Following Poetry by :
Enough is enough!
I watch the tears
Form trails of torrid times
From your eyes
To where they fall and splatter
Like shattered dishes
In white households
But I’ve had to turn my heart cold…
It’s in your hands
Touch me gently
When you pick me up
And use me
I’ve been here before you
You have no right to abuse me
So respect me
When you’re sad
I cry
When you smile
I’m high
When you lie
I lie
But don’t abuse me
I said
Love me instead
Feed me food for thought
Leave me wanting for more
But don’t ignore my call
Your heart beat
Flows blood through my vein
And speaks truth through its pain
When I feel empty
Fill me up again
Satisfy my hunger
And you’ll never fear the thunder
Feed me happy thoughts
And words will dance on pages
Feed me fear
And face the sword
Alone on stages
Love’s the only price tag
Written or
Behind a mic-stand
Picture me rolling
Said the pen to my right hand…
Watch the unexpected
In love I felt again
But for a different cause this time
The basis to be love
And I saw the sign
Your heart and mind
Be mine to be yours sublime
And I remained in heaven
After we kissed goodnight last night.
The last I remembered,
Were the bright lights,
Tyres screeching,
The shattered windscreen
And
Your screaming…
Thank you
He saw the love in her eyes
As she saw truth in his
And in yet another love Jones moment
God’s will unfolded
Two souls had inner standing
On what heaven on earth really meant
Even as tough times taunted
Until there love was nearly spent
Much times when two collide
They become severely bent
But gentle as clouds
They fused there friendship furthermore
Forming lightning and thunder
As one would hunger
For health and happiness
Harboured in honesty
Just in case those tough times turn out torridly
But in the richest soil
There love was deeply rooted
And in a sweet melody
Was a wedding ring
A “will you marry me”
And after 7 still in Billy’s eye
Shines the light that’s seen in Sarah’s smile…
