KALEIDOSCOPE





Today at the gallery, I stared at my image on the glass door and saw my flaws building layers of regrets and rejection.
A look at my face was a blush that spelt his name in a smile. The one that leads my soul to places my feet can't go and  when I stray  into the forest, he comes seeking for me, like an eagle with mighty wings, he flies low to save me. Then, he takes me to his hut and serves me coffee. With milk and honey, he soothes my soul and body. While he whispers those words to me " I love these scars, they spell the pulchritude of your goddess-ness"
He views my flaws in a Kaleidoscope of unknown colours.

THE HR OFFICE

Image
All salaried people must read this: After 4 years of selfless service, I realized that I had not been promoted, no salary increment, no commendation. So I decided to walk up to my HR Manager. The manager looked at me, smiled and asked me to sit down saying: "My friend you have not worked here for even a single day!" I was shocked to hear this, but the manager went on to explain. And here's the conversation that took place: Manager: How many days are there in a year? Me: 365 days and sometimes 366. Manager: Do you come to work on weekends? Me: No sir. Manager: How many days are there in a year that are weekends? Me: 52 Saturdays and 52 Sundays equals to 104 days. Manager: Thanks for that. If u remove 104 days from 366 days. how many days do you now have? Me: 262 days Manager: How many hours make up a day? Me: 24 Hours. Manager: How long do you work in a day? Me: 8am to 4pm (i.e. 8 hours a day.) Manager: So, what fraction of the day do you w...

💃A man worth knowing🤔🤔

💋Chapter Six💋 The next day, Themba contacted her. He didn’t call, as promised, but sent her an email. It was the first thing she saw when she fired up her laptop at the studio in the morning. The message contained contacts for a great tax consultant, a highly rated accountant, web developers and event organisers, covering all the points they’d touched on the night before. The fact that he’d sent an electronic correspondence stung, but she sent a cool, professional response, thanking him for his time and effort. She wasn’t going to let him get to her. She was simply going to put him out of her mind. In the next week, Mandi threw herself whole-heartedly into rectifying the errors and oversights Themba had picked up in his ruthlessly analytical audit. As the days progressed, things were starting to look up. She might have lost Themba for a second time, but she’d managed to salvage her boutique from the ashes of disaster. She found comfort in her strict business routine, in working o...

Breeze breath.

Breeze breath. Walking down the road, I feel done and dead. I feel disconnected My mind, my legs My hands, my stomach And my heart All in different places. Suddenly, a cool breeze hits me. Wow, it does mollify me It does sooth me to some extent. Only if we breathed that, Take a deep breath and you will understand. Air so cool and comforting. I know, no one ever took notice of that. I'm better now. Though just a bit down, I know, if it keeps on this way, Eventually I'll be completely fine. Just one more or a couple more Deep breaths and I'll be fine. ©obrianmazunda

WEIrd JumBLE of WoRDs

SOmeOnE'S WEIrd JumBLE of WoRDs Today I pondered the universe. Today I came to a conclusion. Today I found humanity's greatest gift. I would share it with you but first! Consider man; the apex predator. Top of the food chain in a small planet tucked somewhere in the milky way. We know we are on a timer. For if global warming does not kill us, overpopulation might, and if that doesn't get us an asteroid -big and boisterous might do us in like it did our predecessors; the dinosaurs. If man somehow survives all this then we are certain that sometime in the future, the sun -that bringer of life -would go berserk and implode in a supernovae as all stars do, ending all life in the galaxy. We know this, and yet we do not fear that, we fear aliens?! I beg you to follow me still. Consider a man, one man or a woman maybe. We are on a timer still. We begin to die the moment we are born Drinking water -and yes I mean this literally -kills us. Ever heard the phrase "All systems ...
