010 It’s all in the mind : Ningol Chakouba

Ningol Chakouba
In the land where you were born,
It’s a day meant to be,
With your parents,With your siblings,
It’s a day meant to be in the house you grew up.

Having a feast together with the best fish dishes,
Wearing your finest clothes and jewelery,
Celebrating your origin,
A day filled with love and laughter.

Stepping out from the house,
Filled with dreams in your eyes,
You never knew,
How much this day would mean to you.

Staying so far away,
Across oceans and mountains,
You are thankful for the wishes and celebrations with the family you have found,
And yet you feel the void.

Missing and longing to be in the place you were born,
To celebrate this special day,
Another year passes by,
And yet you stay hopeful to make it some other year.

009 It’s all in the mind : The Red high heels

The Red high heels

You have been eyeing me for quite a while,
Seeing many others and yet coming back to me,
Watching me from all angles,
From your look I know, you want to walk with me.

If you are single,
You will get attention,
Heads will turn as you walk,
Making you Ms. Hot.

If you are married,
You will still get attention,
Heads will turn,
Making you a spendthrift.

Either way,
there will be heat,
Maybe a different kind of heat,
Swipe your card,
Take me home and dress up for yourself.

008 It’s all in the mind : Halloween

Halloween

You see witches strolling by,
You see people with mask,
Choosing to become a different you,
With no one judging you,
Accepting what you are,
Even celebrating with treats for being a different you.
