It has all come down
to this: you loved me once
on a Wednesday night.
Twists and turns
of our flesh and bones,
just to see what would
become of us.
It was magic while it was,
and you said goodbye
as you tied your shoes.
I won't ever forget
the sharp shape
of your back;
a silhouette across
Thursday morning.

Its not easy becoming a friend or making one because a friend is not a state of mind. Its real and its in your face. A friend is someone who makes your life worth its while a little more than yesterday. While everybody has their own definitions of a "friend", the long and short of it is we all need friends to make our lives better. We at TheHolidaySpot value our friendship as much as you do and would like to share our ideas of how to become an ideal friend with you, for if wasn't for you we wouldn't be where we are today.
HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY...
In friendship "honesty" is the key word. One should always be honest to his or her friends.
Don't overlook their faults, even if you have none for you are his friend!
Praise them honestly and openly.
Say you're sorry, when you hurt your friend. Don't let them assume it.*
GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE...
Be there when they need you or you may wind up alone.
Love them unconditionally, that is the only condition. Make them feel special, because aren't we all special?*
Never forget them, who wants to feel forgotten.*
BE SUPPORTIVE...*
Cheer them on, we all need encouragement now and then.*
Encourage their dreams and aspiration, Life seems almost meaningless without them.
Your words count, use them wisely.
Use good judgement.
Wish them luck, hopefully good*
Eamine your motives before you "help" out
Just be there when they need you
Really listen, a friendly ear is a soothing balm*
FORGIVENESS...
Forgive them for, "To Err is Human", and you just may end up making the same mistakes in course of time..*
KEEP THE FAITH...
Have faith in them. For, there is no love without trust.
Zip your lips when they confide in you*
EXPRESS YOURSELF CLEARLY
Know when they need a hug, and couldn't you use one?*
Offer to help, and know when " No thanks" is just politeness*
Quietly disagree, noisy No's make enemies*
Verbalsise your feelings*
HAVE FUN...
Get together often, misery loves company, so does glee.
Talk frequently, communication is important.*
Enjoying your friendship is the order of the day. So its not what we call a friendship if you don't feel right.
Always remember a friendship is worth it when you are able to enjoy the amazing relationship with no holds barred. Its a mutual bond for life that you cant give up.

Beautiful and gracious losers
Huh? What did I hear you say?
I know it's a new concept anyway
One many fail to wonderfully discover
Gloriously awaken to and uncover
It's because most fight for their right
To exert their image and reputation
Exalt and uplift their societal station
Such loathe a moment of degradation
Their self-image frail and easily derailed
By an unkind word or condescending look
Hence they are often hooked and overcome
As they succumb and easily run to appease
Do whatever it takes to remove intimidation
Peer pressure and emotional manipulation
They bend, bow, and break ever so easily
Just the thought of such does make me queasy
An authentic life quenched by fear and timidity
As for me on the contrary, I cannot merely be
A product of my environment, turbulent stupidity
Opinionated animosity and frail human tendency
To respond ever bitterly whenever we do disagree
A foolishness certainly and definitely not for me
Call me a loser because I'm not loaded with cash
Call me a loser because I don't know every celebrity
Call me a loser because with me you disagree politically
Call me a loser because I don't embrace your ideology
Call me a loser because I don't drink with you socially
Call me a loser because I don't dress as you fashionably
Call me a loser because I don't drive your brand of car
Call me a loser because I don't talk and think as you are
Call me a loser because I break the mold and am bold
Call me a loser because I have a purpose beyond yours
Call me a loser because I have my own opportunity's doors
Call me a loser because my pursuits and pleasures differ
Call me a loser because I know God above and prefer
To be spiritually minded and possess heavenly vision
Call me a loser because I don't yield agreeably to opinion
Regardless of what you think or say in Christ I have dominion.
Invite Paul to speak in your city!

Out of darkness, even gross darkness
Almighty God commands forth the light
Setting life in order, making all wrongs right
Giving groping, confused, and troubled men
Illumination, revelation, knowledge, and insight
While they endeavor to press on through life
When they find themselves fearfully financially tight
Going through earthly and an overwhelming plight
Of situations and circumstances, engulfing their soul
It is the Lord of hosts that mightily arises to cajole
Far more so considering God's promises are true
Pure, noble, good, and able to take you through
The darkness presently, gruesomely swallowing you
When you wrestle with direction and what to do
When your aims and objectives delay in fruition
When you seek realignment and a new position
When you kick, bawl, squall and refuse to listen
When you need a higher and divine perspective
When you're tormented within and are ineffective
The Lord of love and life provides the breakthrough
Just drop your pride and humbly draw near for grace
Like a tender child seek God above, pursue His face
Beyond just His hand, apprehend His thoughts and heart
Before you finish praying, making requests, and depart
Take time to listen to what His Spirit wants to say to you
The Spirit of truth will amazingly reveal and direct you
And suddenly the light will shine in darkness to show you
Though the darkness will fail to adequately comprehend it
Your spirit within will awake, be quickened, and grasp it
Meanwhile your mind may argue, reason, and maybe bicker
Yet yield to God's Word and you will fulfill your destiny quicker
For God, who wonderfully said, "Let light shine out of darkness,"
Made His light shine in our hearts to give us the glorious light
Of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ
Embrace Jesus as your loving Savior and experience newness of life.

I know the times you suffer. I know the times you're sad.
I know the times life beats you up. I know the times you're mad.
I know the times your heart is broke. I know you cry at night.
I know the loneliness you feel. I know when things aren't right.
I know the passions of your heart. I know how hard you try.
I know the times you're down and out. I know you want to die.
I also know what lies ahead. I know the peace you'll feel.
I know that you will smile again. I know your heart will heal.
I know it's hard to live on earth. I know one day you'll see.
I know you'll understand the pain. I know you'll come to me.
Now it's time for you to know how much I love you still.
I never left you in bad times. Please know I never will.
I will hold you through the rough times.
I will wipe each tear you cry.
There is so much good around you - choose to live and not to die.
Just know that up ahead awaits the reason for the pain.
The only way a flower grows is from the falling rain.
Now be at peace and smile for me. These words are just for you.
I love you, Child. Your new day's begun.
Hold on! I'll see you through.
God wants you to know how much you are needed on this earth. There are things that only you can do. He knows you are struggling right now but if you hold on, you will see things in a different light.

If you want to say something to that one person who is the most important to you then you have definitely come to the right place. You will find a variety of love quotes which you can use to pep up the spirit of your partner and make him/her realize that he/she matters to you the most.
One can use these quotes to bring a smile on the faces of their beloved ones as well as to make them realize their importance in one’s life. These quotes can also be used to say something which one could not express in any conversation. They can also be used to convey some part of your feelings while leaving the rest to be implied.
Love is merely madness...

By Thandiwe Mapi
Love and walls
Walls, intended to bring security
Walls to ensure of no scrutiny
Walls to keep us unscathed
Walls so unbreakable, and so inviting
Walls built without knowing
Of owner's knowledge
Causing uncertainty, leading to destitute
Tall and rigid,
For all to notice,
Without quivering
Why walls and tomorrows
Why an order of things with love.
Security and comfort I seek
Unbreakable it should be,
But dear Lord, let I not deprive any being
Let I encompass,
In my sanctuary
Let me furnish love openly and wall-lessly
Let me value nature
In case I forget how to adore, let me eternally
Learn the joys of loving.
T. Mapi
My heart
I think of all the colours of sorrow
I see black as the intense colour of sorrow
I see life as rejecting of my contribution
I see only grey skies, no birds singing lullabies
I cry and mourn, ask why
I look deep within and find whys
I see a helpless heart thumping for the sake of it
I look hard into my heart
I then inform myself to get up
My heart leads the way to getting me up
With my heart I learn to crawl, get up
Because my heart won't give up
I have learnt to do likewise
As long as I live, I love my heart
T. Mapi
Never too far
Hills and mountains
Rivers and oceans
Towns and cities
Faces and characters
All these amid us
But we are never too far
Hours to days
Days to weeks
Weeks to months
Months to years
Without seeing us
No tremendous moments to share
Yet, we are never too far
Hearts matted jointly
In the equivalent bit
In the identical strength
Hearts thumping as one
Giving a pledge that
We are never too far...
We are never too far
Because we part to convene
To share and live life as shaped for us
Mountains and oceans are of no significance
We are, and we always will be never too far...
T. Mapi
About author: My Name is Thandiwe Mapi, i am not a poet but i love poetry and i believe in the sense it makes to unravel things. I believe in love and its importance in grooming us into who we are. My poetry might not have the necessary rhime that is required in poetry but it puts forward my feelings about that particular topic, in most cases it is love.
