Dear Miss Sunshine

Dear miss sunshine,
Shine
Radiate as bright as you can be,
For the world is yours to reach,
To devour with your essence,
And captivate our hearts with your presence,

Dear miss sunshine,
Smile
For, it defines what a good morning is,
How when your Zygomaticus Major contracts,
Everything turns blue,
I love the color blue
It represents peace

Dear miss sunshine,
Be bold,
Be gold,
Be you,

Dear miss sunshine,
I know that this sun is not always scotching,
But,
They say there’s no star dying anytime soon,
I know you are that star
Blazing

Dear miss sunshine, burn,
Be bright,
Trust your heart,
For it is always right,
Miss sunshine, don’t lunar eclipse,
Don’t let them define you,
For you are your own woman,

Dear miss sunshine,
Be bold,
Be gold,
Be brave,
Get saved,
Don’t doubt,
Dear miss sunshine,
Be loved,
For I love you, miss sunshine

Dear you

Darkness haunts you through the night,On cue to the idea that sad songs could be your lullaby.But fear remains vibrant in your eyes,Like torture in a blazing furnace.

Poetry card for Apple of my eye by George Tshabalala Lethabo, with a large orange fountain pen nib

Apple of my eye

Can I tell you a secret?Please promise you’ll keep it.I’ve kept it deep within,But now I should preach it.There’s a girl whom I love,An angel from above.Although things may get tough,I’ll never get…

Hands pull a blank card from a brown envelope on a wooden desk beside an ink pot and dip pen

Dear Life

I gave myself sufficient period to examine and understand you well.After all the times I was attempting to give up on you and get relieved from you because I couldn’t handle your nature.But I have…
