"My Christmas Wish List" 2011

My Poem written by Donna Africa 20th Dec 2011

and dedicated to my Friends, Fans & Super Stars!

 

 

Every dreamer to dream,

every lover to love,

every child to grow,

every heart a beat,

every song a melody,

every war to peace,

every frown to smile,

every tear to laughter,

every sadness to gladness,

every sorrow to happiness.

 

Every coward to boldness,

every negative to positive,

every low to high,

every loneliness to companionship,

every hardship to endurance,

every fear to bravery,

every greed to charity,

every selfishness to selflessness.

every taker to giver,

every loser to winner.

 

Every poet a prose,

every artist a muse,

every writer a word,

every singer a song,

every thespian a stage,

every have not a have,

every wrong to rights,

every bitterness to forgiveness,

every poverty to riches,

every famine to feast.

 

Every illness to wellness,

every disappointment to achievement,

every deflation to elation,

every hatred to love,

every hurt to heal,

every whisper heard,

every star to shine,

every darkness to lightness,

every abuse to tenderness,

every violence to embrace.

 

Every starvation to nutrition,

every evil to goodness,

every despair to hope,

every ugliness to beauty,

every lie to truths,

every repression to liberation,

every destruction to creation,

every doubt to belief,

every anger to abate,

every defeatism to optimism.

 

Every weapon to disarm,

every violation to justification,

every suffering to cease,

every explorer an exploration,

every question an answer,

every visionaire a vision,

every entertainer an act,

every aspiration to inspiration,

every unrest to peace,

every discord to harmony.

 

Every abandonment to reunion,

every dream to reality,

every blindness to vision,

every cripple to walk,

every division to solidarity,

every homelessness to haven,

every disillusionment to enlightenment,

every stupidity to sagacity,

every soul a saviour,

every guilt to acceptance.

 

Every past a future,

every Judas to confidante,

every foe to friend,

every lost to found,

every apathy to ardently,

every insecurity to equilibrium,

every dancer a dance,

every barrenness to bountiful,

every futility to success,

every pain to pleasure.

 

Every seed to sow,

every harvest to reap,

every prayer answered,

every weakness to strength,

every creation to procreation,

every life to let live,

and to live & carry on as one,

as this is my hope and wish

list for tomorrow's world.

 

I am not asking for much! lol!

You know
I died a little
I cried a little
I despaired a little
knowing that you
no longer here
to wipe away my
mournful, sad
and lonely tears
left forlorn
to pick up the pieces
and to carry on
all alone!

You know
I sighed a little
I grieved a little
I tried to forgive
and to forget
to move on
but to no avail
as nothing in
this materialistic
mad world could
redeem
replace or
bring you
back to me!

You know
My fragile heart
cracked a little
as my limp useless body
hurt & ached a little
left alone
lost & vulnerable
and tragically blue
without you!

You know
since you left me
I die a little
each & every day
nothing can
fill this soulless
emptiness
hollow abyss
I feel or ease
my grief stricken
pangs of pain
you always in my prayers
since you went away.

You know
I cry an ocean of tears
each & every day
but nothing alleviates
or abates my
tears or fears
you no longer here
to comfort & soothe
or fill the vacuum
left in my heart
and soul today.


You know
I will never forget you Kris
A true presence
& pure gift to us all
A talented Artist
great giver & listener
remembering the good times
that we both shared
to commemorate
& celebrate
your tragic life

Lovingly remembered
and cherished
in my heart and mind
today and
forever more
as I say my final farewell
and adieu to my late
beloved Sweet Soul Sis Kris

REMEMBER
“Don’t give up,
Hold on My Beloved Ones,
Draw strength from me
like an Archer's bow and arrow
and be strong!” Doctor Donnas’ Orders
The Sangoma - MeaningTraditional Zulu Spiritual Healer,
Here to heal and to do good!

“If I had a magic wand”

written by Donna Africa

Dedicated to Kris & Lorraine


If I had a magic wand
and a perfect song
I could right all the wrongs
that have been unjustly
and undeservedly put upon you
like a curse not knowing why
this had been cast and
what could you possibly
have done so wrong
to justify & deserve all this
excruciating pangs of
intense, unrelenting
and unforgiving pain
that I feel for you
with this empathic
loving & open heart of mine!

If I had a magic wand
I could bring back
that happy & beautiful
smile of yours
that I have not seen
in such a long while
or the laughter
we used to share
in our younger
wild and carefree
days of yesteryear!

If I had a magic wand
I could eradicate
remove & ease
your insufferable
and agonizing pain
that plague you
each & every hour
of your long and
laborious days

like a gallant trooper
you never complain
or let on about your pain
that never ceases
or lets up in any way
but robs you of
your much needed sleep
the drugs that no longer work
or bring relief or ease your pain
but you wear a brave face
with a slight grimace
and soldier on
trying to be ever so brave!

If I had a magic wand
although I feel small
incredibly powerless
out of my depth
and beyond my control
I say unto you
“Draw strength from me”
like an archer's bow & arrow
outstretched fully
inside its almighty bow
cradling it gently
like a small child
safe, prepared
and ready for flight
and its amazing
journey through life
to be strong
 

and to connect
become One
with the Universe
and tune into
Mother Nature
as She will guide
heal & make you
well, whole,
complete & strong!

If I had a magic wand
My beloved
& broken Ones,
this is what I
would say unto you,
don’t give up, or despair
as you are powerless
to change what has
gone before
but draw inner
strength from me
like an Archer's bow & arrow
and be strong
as you know
I care and love you so
my dear beloved ones

 

so hold on
move on
knowing I care
and I promise
I will always
be right there
by your side
to never stray
or be far away
but be there for
you always
and forever yours

 

Yours, Donna Africa xxx

Ode to Anne Robinson
TV Quiz Master
of “The Weakest Link”
written by Donna Africa
“The Queen of Dreams!”
November 2010

Sarcastic, acerbic & witty is she
Aptly nick named “The Queen of Mean!”
as she never puts her contestants at ease
in “The Weakest Link”
at Tea Time on the BBC!
A Superior Quiz Master is she
who daily graces our TV Screens!

Authoritatively dressed in black
with fiery Irish auburn locks
as she belittles & mocks
in her journalistic
& nonchalant talented way
as this regal lady in black
will always have her say!

A National Treasure is she
And we Brits would have no other
to grace our Tea Time Telly screens
as we know that this is all done
tongue in cheek
with jest aplenty and much fun
on the BBC One!

At the end of the Popular TV Show
the winner triumphant with all the lolly
Anne looks away announcing
“You are the weakest link”
with a wry smile,
and a cheeky wink!

It very much leaves me to think
that maybe you & I
could be the missing link!
