  There I find myself smiling,  Yet no joke is cracked, Neither am I watching a comedy skit or meme, But his words anchor my breath, His voice echoing in my head, And our good old days replaying, Im in love. Poem by Nnessy💕

A stare in the mirror, Gazing at a good looking being, Wondering, Who could it be? Different from the scattered self I am, In response,  I bombarded with questions,  That I may fail to answer in a million years All is could whisper, Future self, take me with you . Poem by Nnessy Have you ever been in a situation where you to be far fetched from yourself? Your identity, aura, grit or reality not matching the facade you always envision. Sometimes its as if you're estranged from self. Well, that's a thought many have but shy from fixing. We've grown to conceal our shadows, scars, failures, fears and problems not realising they are volcanos that would someday erupt. Why not take self an interview, be sincere, ask yourself honest question and pen down your findings. Don't just know and do nothing, get help. Proffessional help if need be. Find confidants to assist and family or friends to help you get the vibe. Remember: you ought to rejoice always, claim it and make it you...

There I am, Feeling confident,  Courageous as ever, And ready to tackle the world.  Within a blink of an eye, My pupil is dilated, Having tears stream down my cheek, Leaving me as one under an attack, Grasping for air to breathe, I am somewhat losing self, To an alienated self.  My hope, My grit, Myself... All but a mystery,  Waiting to be rediscovered. I lay down,  In anticipation of finding answers, Mid noon nap, Expectant of sweet dreams, [Yawn] Where's my pillow? Zzz zzz zzz...

 A beam of light, Visible in the dark tunnel, Could it be my way out, Or flash of light from a deceased being? The air was heavy, Filled with odours,  Blood and victims' body parts everywhere, Leaving zero room to place feet, Having nausea, the order of the day, Left disgusted and feeling remorseful.  Can safety awareness banner fly high, Human lives matter. Poem by Nnessy 💕 Let's join hands and fight illegal mining together, Thank you.

Fear Fear is invertible,  Time to change norms. Scared of the dark, Insects, people, life, Everything, Buh... Who inserted it in us, Fearlessly, fearful Taking mini steps in tranquillity, Reversing with huge steps of timidity, Anticipating to skyrocket with courage, To my utopian fear-free world. Written by Nnessy...✍️

Whirling love The wind bleeted past me, Leaving echoes of whispers Screaming love, The atmosphere dawned heavily with Rose petals and scent 'Smoother me,' I yearned as the wind progressed, I tried grasping the petals, Only to realise, tomorrow hereafter,  They would have withered... Dear wind, please don't go, Mama Earth, allow Autumn to reign forever,   I want to dance in the wind forever... Written by Nnessy✍️

Survival Water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, sunlight  Ingredients meant for my survival, They say, "Fortune favours the bold," Yet speaking of natural selection, "Survival of the fittest." The question remains, Am I competent enough? I have neither strength to continue, Nor skills to push through, I'm just a weak fellow, In need of joules to survive. Sunlight is what I seek, Yet, global warming is our aftermath, With ultraviolet rays designated for my downfall, The heat is unbearable, Too much radiation & I'm gradually withering, Death echoes everywhere... Kindly grant me a chance to live, I failed to produce fruit due to unstable seasons, Can this world pardon my soul, And grant me a greenhouse? Planet Earth, do favour your child. Poem written by: Nnessy✍️ If you find yourself in this struggle, do not let self-criticism be your enemy. Seek out the tools and resilience you need to survive. Helplessness is a weight you can cast off; giving up is never the ans...

  Oh, it's Christmas Church bells echoing,  Carol singing everywhere,  Birds singing in the trees,  Jingle bells in the streets,  Decorations everywhere,  Sweet aroma filling the air,  Pyramid trees a norm for the day, Yeah, it's Christmas time again.      Time for joy,  Time for family,  Time for togetherness,  Time for love,  A moment to remember the birth of Jesus Christ.     Born in a manger, Bethlehem,  Born a king not an heir,  That's the story of my Lord,  Son of Mary,  Son of God,  Saviour, Redeemer...   Is who He is, Jesus Christ is His Name, Merry Christmas everyone!   ~ Queen Nnessy💞  Ho-ho-ho, where is jolly belly and Mrs Claws, we want our precious gifts for being good kids😁. X-mas is only for naughty ones😀😀😀. Merry Christmas everyone, I wish you a platter filled with all the goodness there is. Be sure to enjoy every moment of it a...

 This poem was inspired by a 'friend' who shared a sad story about an individual without speech (dumb) selling quality fruits in the streets next to a person with the same order, though not so good-looking. People preferred the other fellow which brought suspicion. He later concluded that discrimination, ignorance and lack of proper education was the cause of all & to sum up his story he suggested sign language to be mandatory. "Disability does not mean inability" ~ Prudence Mabhena If disability was an outcome of choice, I swear it would have ceased existing. Why focus on the physical impairment not the gorgeous heart? Dear world, we ought to treat each other with respect, love and move forward together.           Disability no be by choice!!! Born of a woman, Raised like any other, Ambitious and self-driven, Goal oriented, Yet, I'm limited  Disabled, you call me  Replacing Mama's precious name with your titles  Mute, blind, deaf & ...

This poem was inspired by the increase in suicidal cases. Let's spread love and help minimise this pandemic. My question always remains; what's next? Yeah, you commit suicide then what? Happy days...  Happy days do come  by, Saddened with life's becoming, Hanging on the verge of a lifeline, Paying your own tribute, Awaiting your time to cease, Where to lovely child? Blinding your eyes To the good old days, Being defined by now, Where is happiness & pals? Come help a fellow! Our world is full of scars, Unforeseen  deaths, Air filled with jealous, envy & hatred, Suffocating the weak, With the S-death being the boss, While COVID-19 watches, Fight your own battles, Like a pregnant woman rejoice  For pain is subsidized with joy, Birth the world you want, Mama earth got Tonnes of happiness, Choose it, Grab what you want, Trash the rest, Simple... Enjoy life... By Nnessy💕 Thank you😊

 Who else is tired of this Covid-19 pandemic? I thought of expressing myself through words. Urgh Coronavirus A huge round of applause, Congratulations Covid-19, You made it, World influencer, Award winner, Zim Idols icon, Like cracked ceramics we remain, Shuttered and scattered Like the autumn leaves, With wind blowing us in all directions, Helpless as the abandoned child,  Always in the slaughterhouse, Awaiting our turn to cease existence... What happened to the good old days? Where we used to embrace fresh aroma From nature and the flowers,  Can someone wake me from this dream, Tired of the mask imprisonment Go in peace Coronavirus, Take all your belongs with you, We need our freedom, Already booked a flight for you,  It leaves in 3,2,1... Poem by Nnessy 💕

In a world where so much is going on. Competitions, judgments, fights, struggles, difficulties, disappointments, failures, enmity... you name it all; seems to be our 'new norm.' One is forced to maintain composure, smile & love. It's a matter of defining principles & fighting for your happiness. You owe it to yourself. No genie is going to come your way & change things. Be the change. As for me, I choose to smile 24/7 365 days. Great thing, it's contagious. Together we can impact the world with smiles. Smile 'Less effort is needed to smile,' they say Well, my case is  different. It takes absolutely every muscle to have my gorgeous white teeth  out. So much energy is needed,  Sadly, it always grew faint, What's happening in this world? One moment I was laughing,  Next, I'm just but a statue Failing to attain that gorgeous emoticon, Is it normal? How will you know,  When you can't keep it for that long, Oh smile, what an expensive expressio...

Always have the grass mentality.   https://skewedcrowns.blogspot.com/2020/05/grass-mentality.html 🌾I am grass🌾 Different shades of green, Lime, forest & sea green, Yet there is a time, All shades fade away, And am left with a brownie colour, Some feed from me, Others burn me, Am cut too, Others go to an extend of uprooting me, People tend to forget I once fed their livestock & sustained them, Both economically & agriculturally,  Yet, some smash me with the soles of their feet, But  I choose not to second to the situation, I lay low,  knowing. Spring is coming, Where I will sprout  And shine once more, I view everything from my perspective  And yeah, I win  Always. By Nnessy💕

To all special ladies out there "mothers," you are greatly loved, valued and appreciated. Words aren't enough to describe your worth... You are simply priceless jewels. I am a woman I am a woman  Pain, hardships, endurance ... Our daily schedules, But I'm a man too  With a womb of course, Expected to be on the receiving end Of compromise, sacrifice, tolerance & forgiveness, Always the inferior ones, Judged by the world because of our looks, Seen as objects of beauty, And never appreciated for our intellects, Yet, expected to be submissive, To my husband of course, I also bring about the existence of a being, I nature the child with my these hands, And that's where title mother comes by, Seeing my family together is enough joy on it's own, Yeah, that's my responsibility, I also set the mood for a house to be called a home, Got lots of title deeds in it, I'm expected to work wonders within my space, F...

Well, there I was making pap today. Pop! it fell on my beautiful skin; causing pain & leaving a mark/scar (I was here ~ Beyoncè). I decided to express my pain in writing... Pap my kos... Hoekom pap? Jy is nie goed nie. You enjoy popping out of the pot Messing the cooking area Causing unusual marks to my beautiful skin Blisters, sores, pain, ... Signs of your existence  Why are you always angry, Never polite enough to calm my nerves, Always anticipating seeing what's outside, You are just like popcorn Unstable and noisy Always screaming your lungs out  You surely love your freedom. Freedom fighters, warriors, heros But always abusing your privileges Well, I love it When you satisfy my hunger Oh pap! Do behave... by Queen Nnessy💕 In life we go through pain while creating things we love or got a passion for. Pain comes as discouragement, opposition, intolerance, failure... But the aftermath is always beautiful. Yeah, I got b...

Sacrifices made by father's are always diminished to nothing and their efforts taken to be useless. Allow me celebrate men using a poem. 🍃Daddy love💕 Daddy, the first man I knew, My presence gave you this title, I love you dearly!

Every day should be a Mother's Day. Mother's do a lot on a daily basis. I thought of expressing myself using a poem. 🍃Mother's love💕  Often times we hear about Romeo & Juliet's love,  being the greatest. Yet, there is more than it,  One which ain't conditional, That lasts till eternity, Mother's love of course.  Right before my existence,  You loved me dearly, You confirmed it in our small talks Whilst in the womb, Yeah right, our bond began there, With a little bit of pain endorsed on you, Yet, you  endured. Then, you brought me into the world,  You taught me love  And the power of union.  Mom, mother, in fact my first love, You were always there for me, When days were dark,  You enlightened them, When I failed, You gave me reason to be positive, When I was weak,  You were my strength,  You stood when the rest of the world walked away, You always had my back, ...
