Trigger Happy

I am trigger happy ready
to fire out my beliefs
i think i think i know
i expel my thoughts
at times in the harshest way
eloquence at times drapes
my lips and i tell of goodness
really that's all i should do
but human traits are paradoxical
so enigmatic persona takes over
i leave the souls of others
dead or alive because
i am trigger happy -Silindile Mbali Ndlovu

This poem I wrote sitting on my balcony thinking of how we can make or break things with our words. When I was growing up I always preferred my mother to hit me than shout at me because words slice and leave permanent wounds in your soul. Memories you cannot erase. Thus she did beat me and I guess now I wish that's all people did,rather beat the problem out of me then say what they will of me.

When I say things I also mean it. I am a person of my word and seldom do I let someone down on something. I am a people pleaser but also encourager. I may think what a waste in my womanly woes, but I shape up quickly by allowing the mind to remind me why this person is in my life. My mother is here because she gave birth to me and nurtured me. My friends are here because we grew up together and learnt God blessed us by placing our lives to cross our paths. So my man is here because the divine happened and we met to over overbearingly love wholeheartedly.

Your speech is derived from your manner which is already preconceived in your mind. So this already was manifest mentally before physically. Making me acknowledge that the words where made to life by your actions but a thought before a action. So remember that your words map out your ideas. Speak positive and inspiring words and it will return to you positively. Don't be like me and be trigger happy .

John the Legend came to town!

John legend is doing his world tour and knew that he had to globe trot with Keri Hilson.South Africa was another country he had booked in his schedule.I was given the privilege to see this in action.

Keri Hilson's repertoire is still rather fresh so getting the crowd singing along to every song was not going to happen. However it doesn't mean she was ill equiped to include her audience. The songs where well rehearsed with the back track and when the time came for audiences to sing along it still lead to a authentic experience. Over all she really enjoys people interaction immensely. She was well dressed looked amazing, with her classic charming smile. Her trait in stage presence is flirting, she is great at that.

John legend was no doubt a show stopper. He called a young lady up and danced with her and even kissed her,if I was Nthando the whole world would know about it. He gave us his radio hits and also the other songs. Incredible experience. I had my camera in hand and got shots of the classic seated-at-the-piano shots. What I enjoyed the most was his stage acting and also his band. His sheer swagger and stage persona that make him arrogant where so evident. That band is amazing. Also slick and they are like a family, they knew John's every move and improvisation looks clean when he wanted to improvise. A dream come true for me. Then came the moment of taking his shirt off I just had to admit I had one tear in the eye. Beautiful display of a caramel cream honey coated skin.

My pictures are all over, celebrating my legendary moment!
