Angel of Mine


At last, I managed to piece together another song I wrote in 1997 (though there are gaps here and there that I still can't remember [indicated by the XXX]... Believe it or not, I composed this song in a single night to sieze the moment)

After I got to know what I needed to know from the girl (not the one from my first song), I rushed back to my room and locked myself in... Just me and my Yamaha classical guitar that had become my trademark as the wandering traubedour... and a tape recorder...

Slowly but surely, the words flowed from my pen... An irrepressible flood of emotions that I could hardly contain... And then a melody jumped into my head...

I smiled...

I knew I had a winner...

After a few hours I emerged from my room, with a cassette in hand... Holding it like one would hold a newborn... Tenderly... Preciously... Full of hope and expectation...

I passed my baby to a mutual friend with the message

"Please pass it to her"...

A look of understanding and a sense of agreement passed between us... A silent communion of soldiers on a mission...

No need for names... We both knew who the 'her' meant...

This is the song that I wrote, those many years ago...

The song is called:


Angel

Oh my angel
Why must you keep me waiting?
I got a lot of love in store
and a passion that's flaming

I got a heart that's true
That I'm saving all for you
When you said the words
That were too good to be true

Chorus:
You are the angel...
of my life
Someone so beautiful...
and sublime
You are the angel...
of my life

I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings
If what I've done is strange,
Please find it in your heart to...
Rearrange

I'm sorry if I come on strong
But please don't run away,
I'm telling you that I am here...
To stay

Chorus

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXX

Please do not say never
Even then I'd wait forever,
Till my dying breath reaches out...
To you

Chorus

END

So there it is, the second song that I wrote...

And the answer to your question is...


Yes...


I did get the girl :)

My nightmare come true

This is it. It's finally happened. The stuff of bad dreams for many language teachers has today materialised for me, rearing its ugly head, scoffing at my abilities as a language professional. This is an actual letter from one of my students as part of their coursework. Final year student. Soon to graduate and meet the workforce of the nation. Read it and weep...

The Forbidden Kingdom No More

Yesterday is a day that would forever go down the sands of time as... "The Day I Fed Two Hundred Ravenous Mouths with Bottomless Pits" Oh the horror!... The Pain!... The Suffering!!! Like a swarm of locusts they came, wave upon wave upon wave... Like a farmer protecting his crop I could only look on and stare, as they darkened the sky, before zeroing in for the kill... Tears streamed down my eyes as I watched them strip every last grain of maize and corn that I had planted at the begininning of the year... My knees thudded to the ground, as I numbly watched the carnage around me, my tired brain barely registering what my eyes perceived. "So this is what it feels like"... I thought in my brain... "This thing called Open House" . .. ... Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I'm just being dramatic here ;) Yesterday was actually a day that I'm going to remember for a long time, simply because it was graced with the presence of those eager young minds I he...

Always & Never

Picture credit here Always . Never . What do these words mean? Simple enough words - Two syllables, direct spelling to pronunciation, timeless in their application in our daily lives. But what do they really mean? For instance, two best friends, before parting ways to go to university, exchange a very teary farewell - they exchange gifts, exchange cards, each pledging to be best friends for always ...forever... and that they always call and never forget to visit each other when they go back to their hometowns. Of course this scenario is a girls only scenario. For guys the scene would be a quick hug, a few pats on the back, and a salute as the bus drives away... Less words, less outward displays of emotion, but nevertheless a quiet ache in the chest and a steely determination to always be friends, and never forget the bond brotherhood that had been forged. Or even former lovers, as they forever part ways... The parting speech before they embrace for the last time, where each vows that ...
