Our eyes met briefly,
words were left unspoken.
I had hoped it was but a flickering crush,
alas my poor heart knew no rest …
The first kiss opened up floodgates
- for me, obviously not you;
else why flinch at that first touch?
Why let me in only to shut me out?
Magical, powerful, beyond description
- how maddening can an addiction be?
A high no one else can please
and yet my tongue I bite each time you leave …
Lovers in our own secret world
when we do what we know best;
yet two worlds apart
with eyes of stone observing the trend …
I can’t reach to your heart;
what lies ahead if I stay?
Do I ask the world of you
to pretend a lil for me?

PEACE AND BEAUTIFUL BEGINNINGS
I tend to be ill at ease at the start of a New Year.
I’m extremely grateful to God to see another year
but I get butterflies in my stomach like when I had my 25th birthday
and I bawled out to one of my girlfriends - I feel old!!!
The New Year does not give me an aged feeling;
it stirs up in me questions like "Did you waste last year Kit?"
An unsettling query as I have no control over time or destiny ...
2006 was indeed an eventful and memorable year for me -
crying myself to sleep, juggling two jobs, earning another degree,
going through yet another break-up, finally earning a superb retreat,
landing a new job, moving into a new apartment, making new friends,
the best part of it all - finding me …
A year that made me grow up in a scary and yet thrilling way;
needless to say one I desire only to relive in my mind.
2007? A lil’ bit scary ‘cos there’s so much on my ‘to accomplish list’
that sometimes reality defeats the ‘superwoman’ in me
and I long for the comfort of a hand round my shoulder …
When I said my prayers on New Year’s eve,
I spent time talking to God and reflecting on the year gone by
and I asked of Him, "What does the New Year hold for me?"
He said "Peace and beautiful beginnings!"
Now the how is not up to me; He asks of me to simply believe.
Do you believe that the battle is not yours but the Lord’s?
Do you believe the victory is yours for the taking?
I do.
To peace and beautiful beginnings Kit …
