I am So Happy, It's SadThe start of something beautiful scares me aplenty. The mind plays foolish tricks and questions the unquestionable, speaks the unspeakable, judges the unnavigable. But I tell myself it's going to be okay as I shush myself to sleep, for he is ready to be a friend. Not like the last one. And again, he, my friend who will always be a friend no matter what, is right, He is always there for me. I am never alone.
I fall in love and it tortures me
the inner peace makes me restless
I fall in love and it consumes me
the inner joy besets me in melancholy
I fall in love and it torments me
the inner contentment feels insufficient
I fall in love and it proves deep
the inner security is shallow
I fall in love and it brightens me
the inner glow casts me in darkness
I fall in love and it comforts me
the inner luxury gives me blisters
by Zwelibanzi Moya, a mentor and dear friend I gained in Johannesburg, ZA
Still, I just want to be okay today.

Again Happy 21. It's time for the old girl to hear a classic song.
I dedicate the song Perhaps Love by Placido Domingo and John Denver to you.
Listen to its lyrics and melody. It's listed as one of the 100 best song of all times.
