NB!!! We Are Moving House!

I will be moving my blog work to my Tumblr account.

The Tumblr account in itself is not new, I have had it for five years but used blogger to share. Now I would like to utilise this dormant account.

Its a hard decision to do, but Tumblr is connected to to all my other social networks and it will b easier to tag pic and other updates as thy happen.

I loved sharing my thoughts here, but I think its time for change. And I want to try new things and re-write how I want to lead this life afforded to me.

So Follow me to my Tumblr account: 'The Turquise Lady...' or follow this link ---> http://zoekunoichi.tumblr.com/

See you on the other side

Resentment is a girls best enemy!

This is not something one wants, but unfortunate circumstances gets one there: Sigh

I wish I could believe you then I'll be alright
But now everything you told me really doesnt apply
To the way I feel inside
Loving you was easy once upon a time
But now my suspicions of you have multiplied

And it's all because you lied

I only give you a hard time
Bacause I can't go on and pretend like
I haven't tried to forget this
But I'm much too full of resentment

Just can't seem to get over the way you hurt me
Don't know how you gave another who didn't mean a thing
The very thing you gave to me
I thought I could forgive you and I know you've changed
But as much as I want to trust you, I know it isn’t the same

And it's all because you lied


I may never understand why
I'm doing the best that I can and
I've tried and tried to forgive this
But I'm much too full of resentment

I'll always remember feeling like I was ‘no good’
Like I couldn't do it for you like she/they could

And it's all because you lied

Loved you more than ever
More than my own life
The best part of me I gave you
It was sacrificed

And it's all because you lied

I know she was attractive but I was here first
Been riding with you for six years why did I deserve
To be treated this way by you,
I know your probably thinking what's up with zee
I been crying for too long…
What did you do to me...

I used to be so strong but now you took my soul
I'm crying
can't stop crying
can't stop crying

You could of told me that you weren’t happy
I know you didn't want to hurt me
But look what you've done to me now

I have to look at her in her eyes and see she's had half of me

How could you lie?

Redeeming Love

"He closed his eyes and said Lord, forgive me. You said go to her, and I let pride stand in my way. You said she needed me, and I didn’t believe. You said love her, and I thought it would be easy. Help me. Open my heart and mind so that I will love her as you have loved me."

unanswered ?uestions

They speak of jobs and positions
Who's seeing who, who's settled Down
They casually mention your name
The power in the A Word is insane
How it triggers everything to come tumbling down

Into the pit of my stomach-
Boulders and butterflies coexist
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
Threatens to persist

And this unanswered question
Lingers on to this later date
Can I Resign to never knowing
If I as your one that got away

The back and forth, the on and off
The "Don't Call Anymore"
The leaving, the wishing I had stayed
A self inflicted prison I can't escape
Like if I did the memories would decay

And there would be no more hours of dreaming
About what a life with you would have been
That chemical reaction shared by all romantics
Has some twisted need to exist

Say you feel nothing when you see me...
Say that where I walk ,flowers have grown...
Say that I rocked your world...
Say that I was never your girl...
Just give me Something
Give me something I can put in stone

Every (Wo)man should Know

Every woman should know
how to live alone
even if she doesn't like it...

Every woman should have
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own,
even if she never wants to or needs to...

A woman should have
something perfect to wear
if the employer, or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

A woman should have
a youth she's content to leave behind....

A woman should have
a past juicy enough
that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....

A woman should have
one friend who always makes her laugh
And one who lets her cry...

A woman should have
a good piece of furniture
not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

A woman should have
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal,
that will make her guests feel honored...

A woman should have
a feeling of control over her destiny...

Every woman should know
how to fall in love
without losing herself..

Every woman should know
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend
without ruining the friendship...

Every woman should know
when to try harder
and WHEN TO WALK AWAY...

Every woman should know
that she can't change the length of her calves,
the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

Every woman should know
that her childhood may not have been perfect
but it’s over...

Every woman should know
what she would and wouldn't do for love...
Every woman should know
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...

Every woman should know
where to go... be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

Every woman should know
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month...and a year...

Gills and Tails

The way I appreciate this piece. A description of my life right now and where my head is at. Enjoy.

I looked at my reflection in the water
Thought what an unlikely pair
Closed my eyes, held my breath,
Plummeted dow...down...down...
and anchored myself there.

Can't tell how long I've been
in the company of gills and tails
I think I feel my skin
growing scales

Can I come up for air?
Can i come up
Can come up

I'm gettin' eaten up down here
I'm just not built like them
The big fish have a monopoly
The little fish get buried in the sand

This here world I'm in
sucks your life out, leaves you comatose
take back your salt and fins
send me a lifeboat.

I look up, longing at the surface
Hypnotized by the way the sunlight seems to ride each ripple
And they do a dance
Every ray becomes a beckoning hand
I miss the sweet taste of oxygen
I mistook this for the promised land

Elegant Boy
Beautiful girl
Dancing for joy
delicate whirl
Shades of delight
Coco hue
Rich as a night
Afro Blue

Two young lovers dance face to face
With undulating grace
They gently sway
Then slip away
To some secluded place

Whispering trees
Echo their sighs
Passionate pleas
Tender replies
Shades of delight
Coco hue
Rich as a night
Afro Blue

Lovers of flight
Upward they glide
Burst at the height
Slowly subside

And my slumbering fantasy assumes reality
Until it seems its not a dream
The two are you and me
Shades of delight

Its Time

Oh so Plush!!

Plush Pinks

This little puppy just makes my heart melt. I think I want a puppy :-(

She (My inspiration)

So there is this lady right.... And her parents decided to call her Khanyi Dlomo right... And for as far back as I can remember she has always inspired me. She is the most beautiful woman I know in South Africa (Looking at her through my bias eyes *sticks tongue out*)

She is a woman of calibre and her humble character exerts ellegance. I love how calm and placid she is about her life, yet very aggressive with her career. Her beauty and brains all shine at the same lengths and levels. She has been a journalist ever since 22 years of age, had kids at 23 and married at 24. Things didnt go so well on her first marriage, then she separated with her husband. But instead of just moping around, she decided to use her freedom to go study over seas. came back with a killer idea of starting Ndalo Media and launching a Magazine of a kind that did not exist in our country. From its inception, Its been a success and still growing from strength to strength. Destiny Mag came into being and we all loved and welcomed it.
What I love about her is that she takes herself seriously and knows her worth, regardless of who says what.

I also am moved by how she stays out of the press and keeps her private life private. Nothing makes me more happy like somene who is known for their work and not for Fame's-Sake. She has now since married a hot guy from Ghana who is also a powerful business man in his own right. And I believe they will live hapily ever after... lol
Check out this woman in these pics :-)
Gessh Khanyi I am coming for you dear. Zoe Maphala is next!

I laughed so hard when I saw this... so so so so hard.

Boy did I laugh.

Clear Skin

After 5 months of a rigourous skin treatment prescibed to me by my dermatologist, I finally took a good look at myself yesterday and took a pic of my new skin.

The treatment is called Oratane. If you have bad skin and it really fustrates you, go ask your Dermatologist.
Now I am not-so-patiently waiting to get my complexion back, because on the treatment the skin goes thin and becomes sensitive to any sunlight. In turn that will darken your skin immediately.

My virtue: 'I must always feel good in my skin. Unlike clothing, this is one thing I can't change' -King Zoe

Need a pick me up

Feeling a bit down today. Need to just be... and maybe a hug-nyana
