Letter For Mombasa

Hey, well, Jules here.....I was just wondering if you're fine.....I mean the violence and those riots in Mombasa your hometown and Nairobi, well hope you're safe and your family. Take care dude. Ok well, I don't know if you'll ever receive this but if you do, well, I wanted you to read this. I wanted to ask Rasheed to read this but then, it'll just be wrong......Ok i'm rambling.....I always ramble and babble. Ok well here goes. I wrote this when I met you and here it is.....I wanted to know what you thought of it. I usually suck at this, I mean seriously, just read, please.

Sacarsm and hilarious overtures,
forgotten praises and venting ways.
Loving gazes and attraction stales
For who did love and never lost?
Love, truth and now I am the boss.
Lies, deceit and thus the times are past
Kiss me beneath a starlit sky,
With the waves crushing on the shores,
Pining away for a sign, a look, a question
Why doth the heart never seem to comprehend
When Lovers go they leave, they are spent.
Though lovers fade and time heals wounds
Memories can never seem to be forgotten
And though those memories are a figment of imagination
They can instill a hurt, a pain, this heart wrenching emotion
For once the eyes are washed, they are cleared of debris
The soul realises that there are those who lost, who loved
and the worst souls are those who keep silent, their anguish and regret
Pouring in from all sides,
trapped in a cardboard box in the middle of the indian ocean,
the water gushes in and divulges the heart,
live forever and yet live for the moment,
love forever and yet, never take love for granted
The secret of this one mistake, this one parcel
delivered in anger toward another,
for jealousy and anxiety forces one to do many unpredictable things
Oh and age, youth can force the fools inside to appear in countless forms.
Pray that your life has not been strangled midway
Hope that love blesses you throughout,
and most of all,
Wish that you'll never forget me....


and if you've already done then, I'm a babbling bunch of bullshit.
Ok......I don't know what to expect, that's why i'm not expecting, all i hope is that you're thinking twice about this. Cause I haven't really been able to forget you and well, please just tell me if you're interested or not. Cause if you're not, just say the word....and i'm done. Ok, its just that it's not finished yet and I want to end it, that's all......


Best,
Jules. T
