Sandra..what better days than during childhood? when you know not of hate,envy,jelous or discrimination! Uncle Aziz is like one of the sources of children's happiness, because children can find a smile out of anything!..from a drop of rain in the sky to the small pond along the street pathway! And thats how life should be...because it's too short to be misused..all we need is to live fully, love too much, dance alot and laugh like there's no tomorrow! By am hungry..let me go grab my lunch! Bravo dada!

Sandra,
This time i got through.I loved Jasmine.Your stories are so cutting.They are not gentle. They give the bare truth. They are naked.They expose bone. They are transparent. Not sheer gossamer but pure revealing X-ray. They are real.Someone has to capture treality for us to reflect otherwise writing has no meaning. You are doing it keep on doing it. And we love you for it. You are inspiring you got talent. I wish you the very best gal you keep on truckin'!

The juxtaposition between African communal expectations and socio-economic needs bring fourth painful results as can be seen in this story. Sandie's pen evidently flows with rich ink when telling these kinds of stories. What next?
Family Business (Short Story) - 2/25/2008 5:01:08 PM

Your usual direct and graphic style that I enjoy so much.

I Don't Want To Get Married (Article) - 5/29/2011 2:16:33 AM
Marriage isn't any thing about feelings or so.yes your are thinking that iam a weirdo.Let me explain it you.We are all animals who have been improvising from the past million years from bacteria to human beings.Some transformed into animals on land and some in water.Did u ever think why???.U see every body like to choose a person who is rich or beautiful or having strength or a equal(of u r value) but never a lesser person.only in about 20% of the cases u see u opt for a person who is less than u.this is the also the 20% which gets to mate with the person of more value..so we have been improvising over years.Now after love what happens??we want to pass on our strengths to our offspring and we want to make sure that they live with dignity and respect in the society so that they get to mate with higher valued person.so we work for the rest of our lives to make sure that the offspring gets it.It's in our DNA guys to improvise..we cant change it..even if u want to change it u have to try changing for years of generations ...we can even try to explain our emotions based on this..The pleasure we get by having sex is the happiness that we are making a offspring better than ourselves.The sadness that we feel when the loved one leaves u is comming from the loss of a good strength or a good gene in his or her DNA.The anger we feel when another person takes on your loved one is that the another person is also going to make an offspring from from u r loved one and u want a better person for yourself so u r angry with her or even leave u r loved one.See u can explain each and everything in u r life with this.There is nothing like love.The dejection u get after u r menopause is from the feeling that u r not going make offspring anymore.Admit it guys what do u think when u see a better person than u r spouse or lover when that person walks by. you would feel a sad feeling in u r mind.In u r teen age or from 16 - 25 for men and 13-25 for women u feel an urge for love .It is not actually it.Its an urge to get an offspring as soon as possible or catch hold of the person u want to mate with so that nobody takes him/her.U go to good schools and colleges and its all comes down to this,"GETTING A GOOD PERSON TO MAKE AN OFFSPRING BETTER THAN U OR MANY OTHERS".Me even writing this comment is myself looking for a good person so that i can get a offspring who is even better than u or u r offspring if u r my gender.So lets try to leave this part of gene in our DNA behind and enjoy a single life.You may think that i am a biologist or a student pursuing biology who is gone berserk by reading Darwins theory.No i am an engineering student in in india.I may be not good as many of u are at writing articles or comments if any mistakes commited please excuse me.. :) thanku

I Don't Want To Get Married (Article) - 1/10/2010 11:45:26 AM
I agree with Ingrid. This social obsession with marriage is what has so many young women responsing to men as if they are God figures instead of just another human being, just like themselves. Any person this obssessed with being married, as we all have been, does not have a sense of centering with God or that which is higher than them because when our spirituality becomes all it can be we see everything constructed in this life in a different way. The idea is to understand what it means to rise in the morning, take in oxygen and live on planet earth. We all need love, but you seem to be speaking of marriage not love. I cannot intertwine the two when I've seen the most miserable people together living in marriage. I mean, it is an institution like any other and those seldom come without feelings of rigidness and lack of a type of respect for the individuals in the institution.
Furthermore, so many women and men actually experience what can be compared to slavery (another former institution)in marriage becuase of the work expectancy of both of them-roles that slowly become who the person is suppose to be and ownership can begin to take shape. There is a reason people say it's not easy. It complicates life in a way that only those whoe experience it can tell. Don't get me wrong, it is a great thing if you can find the right partner, but by itself it really means nothing unless everything outside of marriage is right and balanced. It's like everything else in life...there is good, not so bad and terrible...keep your eye on God...everything else should not be an obsession since we don't even know if tomorrow is ours, much less marriage.

and um E. lucas take something in 1st of all most "india indains" are darker than most african-amerikkkans, 2nd before the arrival of arabs, turks, etc tryna steal shit it was called east ethiopia even Alexander called it that.
It would be africa because remember continents are also politically based not just physically (hence the seperation of europe from eurasia ever think about it?)
me yea Im east Indian. Punjabi is my ethnic group/tribal group. But, I have always known that east indian is a nationionality my race will and always has been African. Lol I dont pass the paper bag or pencil test anyway so if we go bacc to apartheid or segregation im on the same side of the bus but regardless of that even it is what it is.

This article is beautiful, marriage is a bond between two people that should be able to weather any storms, but so many times the slightest trimmer seems destroy so many. This article shows a couple that could definitely stand the test of time. Love it!!!!
I Don't Want To Get Married (Article) - 7/28/2008 8:33:24 AM
Very interesting. I think a woman can get great satisfaction in being married--in having a family... but beauty for these reasons sounds, well, it sounds selfish--self-centered! Why cannot a woman be beautiful, just because she is... just because God wanted to say He loved her... attracting people to her, so she can give-give-give, thus becoming more beautiful as the time goes by.
The LAST thing we want, is to encourage single women (and we know there are more of them than men) to set their sights on the men who are already taken! This kind of talk can only lead to poorer self-image and worsen conditions...
Women do not need men to rationalize their beauty! Beauty is, as beauty does. I hope she'll see the light some day. --Charlie

This is a terrible, terrible article! The cynicism displayed by this writer seems to outweigh any cynicism I have ever experienced from single or happily un-married women.
The broad, sweeping generalisations and fairly amatuerish formulation and development of ideas reinforces to me a fairly naive and immature view of the progress of a woman's emotional development.
I Don't Want To Get Married (Article) - 11/30/2006 2:38:50 AM
Listen to me Sandra dear, many women DON'T want to get married simply because they don't want to. We are not disillusioned. And YES, a woman does NOT need a man to complete her in any way. It's women like you who make men feel superior. And as for Ronald Hull, a good opportunity?!! Ha!!! Since when is being a man's doormat and being told what to think, how to be, what to eat, who to befriend, and how to look, a good opportunity?!!!!

Yeah...haven't we heard that before...same thing happens with us Muslims...we don't take responsibility for our actions. We take Islam as a label and hope for forgiveness......
In reality, what we say of ourselves doesn't hold much water unless we apply, meaning we must act on what we say, that's why sincerity is so important in Islam. God scans the heart.
God is Gracious but He is Just, too.

When I Say I'm Christian (Poetry) - 10/11/2006 1:18:07 AM
Very accurate description of what it means to be a Christian. In my experience I often hear when I tumble, 'But you're supposed to be a Christian!' The apostle Paul could say, 'Who will deliver me from this wretched body?' Most believers fully empathise with Paul's plea. I go to church not because I am good but precisely because I am bad. This I say in response to folk who tell me how ordered and good I am. In a nutshell, it's harder playing down the good than the bad. Folk seem to relate easier to bad than good. I guess that's why bad news makes good news as far as the press is concerned.
Yes, it's tough being a Christian, harder than I expected and I thought I was a tough guy before I met Christ.
When I Say I'm Christian (Poetry) - 10/11/2006 12:10:07 AM
You hit it on the mark excellent with this poem I love the discriptions and instruction contained in this poem a blessing...
When I say... "I am a Christian"
I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost,
Now I'm found and forgiven."
it is true many tink we Christians think were better, perfect it is the exact opposite and if one does then they are not a christian....
Thank you for this post.

Good to see you posting again, Sandra. Thanks for posting this...it is a very good evaluation of a Christian...I've missed your writes, hope you are getting your book ready for the market...let's stay in touch and like I said I am glad that you and your cell phone are still ringing...LOL!

When I Say I'm Christian (Poetry) - 10/10/2006 7:22:12 PM
Sandra, thank you and your friend for sharing this. It is so true.Too many think badly of Christians as they always hope to impress people to believe, because of the forgiveness they received.
Especially new Christians they scare people;-) this should help some to understand better. Thank you!

Sandra:
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful and valuable poem, as many have misunderstand what a true Christian is like. I guess this poem speaks for many Christians.

You really capture the reader with this poem. So true what many suffer, and sometimes living that lowest of low to provide for children that are often unwanted. Kudos to you for writing this without holding back. Excellent job!

Is it Love, Lust or Infatuation? (Poetry) - 9/15/2006 1:30:08 PM
Augustine once wrote that we are wandering souls without love in our lives. My wife fulfilled this need. Can't say the love i have for her is an illusion or a lie. I guess love is all down to one's interpretation and experience. Could it be that we are all, to some degree, emotionally illiterate in this fallen tired old world of ours?
The Caged Tiger (RE-POSTED) (Poetry) - 9/10/2006 12:04:24 PM
Ah, the heart is deceptive above all things, who can know it? I'm forever trying to part the two fierce dogs fighting within for control of my soul: the old man and the new. That is, new through Christ.
The Caged Tiger (RE-POSTED) (Poetry) - 9/2/2006 6:09:54 PM
Outstanding write and very brave indeed. Blessings, Elizabeth
The Caged Tiger (RE-POSTED) (Poetry) - 8/27/2006 8:43:47 PM
Wonderfully courageous and upfront. . .but you know you have just
described what goes on in me and. . .?most of us? So hard not to let
fear guide our lives. To put on a tough front -- "tiger skin, claws & all" -- and choose to be combatant, rather than. . .whatever. Have to admit I am pretty neurotic. (More'n you, wanna bet?;0) But. . .it is a very good thing to ask these kinds of questions. How can we grow if we don't? T h a n k y o u for the thought-provoking and soul-shaking
write. Grow ON !! 'Pea' <3

Today I Got Married (Poetry) - 8/3/2006 7:36:05 AM
Sandra, i appreciated this poem because it gave voice to the young girl and that's very important because in her daily life she, more than likely, has no voice and even if she did have a voice, the cultural norms expressed in this poem, will probably dismiss it.

This is so good that I had to print it out and give it to this sexy man that has been looking at me in the library.
Lady of The Night - I (Poetry) - 8/1/2006 11:15:06 AM
Wow my friend this is what happens all around the world. It is really sad how some survive and find ways to steal instead of ask. I find it better to ask but others find it eqasier to steal and you have expressed this well.
The Caged Tiger (RE-POSTED) (Poetry) - 8/1/2006 11:13:09 AM
This is wonderful and well written. I see you have put your very own heart and soul into this and have made it to be a masterpiece.
Would You Take Me Back? (Poetry) - 7/28/2006 4:15:26 PM
This poem definitely shows the ebb and flow of abusive relationships. As a domestic violence counselor, I have to say that it would have much more impact - and be more empowering - if the last line were to say "WHY would I take you back?"
Powerful stuff.

Today I Got Married (Poetry) - 7/1/2006 2:18:54 PM
You must have posted this while I was away on a happy family vacation last year, Sandie... ironically, I am literally just off there again! But, my goodness, this rips at my soul and has my eyes out on stoppers... first of all the young age of physical "maturity" which allows this "rape of innocence" to take place... here in Britain we are up in arms that our girls are needing sanitary provision in primary schools... we put it down to all the hormones in the foodchain as well as lifestyle influences. But the knife continues to twist in this narrative which is sooooooooo powerful because of the "simplicity" of the telling in the child's voice. I find this almost incomprehensible, particularly in the light of my own "privileged" Western life experience. Makes me appreciate the world is still yet a very big place and so diverse... albeit we are all sisters and brothers under the thin cultural skin. The tensions between ancient tradition and the global move of human rights is knife-edge in this write. Extremely moving and affecting. Bless you, TY Kate xx

Sandra this is so so poignant. A ten year old!!!! It happens all the time out here in India too. When you become accustomed to something you can actually bring yourself to turn away.
This write touched deep...God bless..

Wow! This was extremely moving. Gripping. I would give it a 5 out of 5. The expression held my attention and I liked your word play.
I just want to say, it's so hard to think of this happening, but it does and it's poetry like this which brings such things to light. Thanks for writing this.

Respected Poetess,
A line of divine, the serene words of your poems are sublime, chime to which endows, sows philosophy... the truth is "We belong to the endless, deathless realm, from where we are expelled"... it looks just crazy, but the truth is bitter, but atlast becomes better, brighter ... where many will follow to ... the hallow path of holiness...
God Bless the readers,,,

Who Am I? (Poetry) - 5/17/2006 10:03:29 AM
Sandra . . . what a lovely and delicate view of yourself. What I found most seductive though was the underlying theme, the friction you created, unwittingly, by juxtaposing the spiritual and physical. I believe Sandra that there is a soft deception that ensues when one embraces one's corporeal self with too much abandon. Afterall, we are all just treasures in clay vessels and will someday return to the dust. I feel the allusion in the poem drifts too much towards flirtation with self. However demonstrative in scope, I felt this piece was quite anticlimactic in depth. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it! Thankyou for a sweet moment! You write with a unique introspection! Richard
Who Am I? (Poetry) - 5/17/2006 5:34:41 AM

Leave Me Be! (Poetry) - 5/9/2006 12:01:23 PM
This relates to more than 90% of the women I know, myself incluso.
Being single is not failure, not having kids isn't either.
I often even hear "you are successful and can afford to raise a child by yourself". Depends whether one wants a sperm donor or a Daddy for the child. If the inevitable happens,all good but i think it's unfair to the child to knowingly just get a donor.

It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 5/9/2006 4:17:13 AM
Tough as it can be, one day one looks back and you are glad it happened. I like how you say "I don’t hate you as I forgave you way back" and " Happy I am as I refused to become you "
It's very important to forgive so you can move on.If you don't forgive , that person stays a part of your life 4 gud.
Honour yourself with Truth and Prayer and you shall heal.
The best revenge is to live well.

Sandra I have used this for a friend who lost a relative on the ship that sank in South Africa last week. This is exactly what one needs when you don't know what to say. I really gain something out of each of your person and they contribute towards my spiritual growth ina big way. I'm telling you this now, not on a wreath card LOL.You have motivated me. You make a difference!

It's so nice of you to express appreciating your Dad.
I always wish my Dad was still alive, every time I achieve something I wish he was here to see me. In difficult times I wish he was here to protect and guide me,treasure what you have and never forget to let him know how you treasure him.
A Budding Flower (Poetry) - 5/9/2006 2:17:48 AM
I appreciate that my Mom told me these words but at the time I thought I was deprived and my friends were privilaged, Now I know they were deprived and I was privilaged to have someone supportive instilling the power to be assertive and not go with the flow. Boys will put you on a pedestal.... only to look up your skirt!
Sex is a wonderful thing but it is worthless if you just give it away. I'm saving this poem for when I have a daughter and when my God Daughters reach "The age"
I am Not Alone (Poetry) - 5/9/2006 1:21:41 AM
Hey Girl,
You have said it all! AMEN!
Thanks so much for re-affirming and validating my sentiments.
I am e-mailing this poem to every woman I know to re-affirm that it is OK to be single and not have kids if you haven't met the one.
Statistically we can't all be paired so there will always be single people. Life changes , partners pass on,to another life or another woman/man whatever the case may be.It's very important to honour yourself enough not to be a victim of society.Great write Sista.

Who Am I? (Poetry) - 5/3/2006 1:43:01 PM
I like the no-nonsense, upfront and truthful self-knowledge here, Sandra, which speaks of a maturity which even many of us older folks do not yet possess. You portrait a well-rounded (in all senses of the word!!) personality who has the ability to cope, to mentally give fair assessment of and to physically handle the thin white line of love without even breaking sweat. A compelling and lucid write that shows great aplomb and coolness as well as the warmth of heart that you speak of and amply demonstrate. Go you!! :)) Bless you, Kate xx
Who Am I? (Poetry) - 4/23/2006 4:41:51 PM
" wonders if love is a tale made for children
A myth or manipulation for the dreamer
A granting of sweet dreams for the innocent
A drug that heightens senses, shatters reality and flung into the heavens for the hopeful"
awesome! I often say love was the original sin

Graphic and penetratingly shocking, Sandra - and, sorry, but I use the word of course without jest, and with extreme thoughtfulness... this really rocked me... I think it was the polka dots on the headband that did it... and the fact that he could hold back both her little fighting hands by just one of his. You have brought this so hair's-breadth close with your use of such descriptive and powerful telling detail. Such anguish and pain is almost beyond my capability to imagine. Thank you for raising such issues again on the Den so that we can all share and lament the awefulness of this childhood tragedy. Such an on-going plight is almost to be feared more than death itself, I would think. Bless you for your bravery in sharing and detailing such terrific pain. Heart-stopping. TY Kate xx

This evil is done daily. I scream about it everywhere. Child molestation is evil, dirty, a sin that need to be punished. It is a shame that the society has degenerated to such an abysmal depth that oftentimes we are helpless. Great write. Keep it up and continue to follow your heart. This poem is so strong and emotional.

Powerful and moving reminder that the world we live in will never be like Disneyland.
Well done Sandie.
Silence of The Lamb (Poetry) - 1/31/2006 2:19:18 AM
Very powerful, Sandie, from the first stanza I was afraid to read further. My heart started to pound. I hate these types of tales because they tear at my heart and get me riled up, and I get even more angry knowing that if it went to trial, the girl would probably be sent to jail because society still seems to think patricide is the most horrible sin, no matter what the provocation. Yet even He who said "honor your father" also inspired an apostle to write "provoke not your children to wrath." Once a little soul has been subjected to repeated abuse, how can we hold it accountable to the same standards we do those who have only known true love from their parents? Whenever I hear stories like this, I weep.

You have captured the horror all too well. But at least he got what he deserved. Thanks to corrupt and-or plain stupid judges, abuser after abuser gets off with a slap on the wrist. . .if he ever makes it into the system. Tolerance for this kind of crime has decreased in the U.S., but progress is agonizingly slow {as you know...realize I am preachin to the choir, just can't help myself}. Thank you for
beating the drum for an end to child torture {sexual and otherwise} and for justice for those who fall prey. With admiration, respect, and gratitude, 'Pea' <3

That is good for the bastard for all molestors and abusers need this. Sorry for cursing though but I hate this kind of behavior but it is also a freedom to write about it.
Silence of The Lamb (Poetry) - 1/29/2006 11:45:33 AM
Good. Horrible. Just end for the sonofabitch. Now she needs to find mother and rip her fucking heart out. What about this so-called "motherly love" we keep hearing about? For a mother to allow this to go on without doing everything in her power to stop it is just as much at fault as hubby. Fuck her too. I got a bit carried away, you want to erase my profanity-laced comments, feel free.

Written with expertise Sandie! You did a beautiful write on a horrific subject! We live in a sick society, and the trouble is even when wives do turn their husbands in many times the authorities treat it like family affairs that they don't want to get involved in. Having said that, it does not excuse mothers who don't immediately get help,when they first learn this is happening! It's horrendous to allow it to continue, that makes her equally guilty!

Very good, very imaginative. Sandie, you have a nasty skill of tricking the reader, of making him/her feel little guilty for having imagined so much that wasn't there... and wonder at ourselves.

Very funny and yet very dark all at the same time. I laughed but there's also something very horrific about the situation. An entertaining read that I would easily recommend to others. Well done.

Fantastic! A very emotional poem straight from the heart. You put the reader right into your head. Very well done Sandie!

Wow, I know this story all so well. You just never know who, or should I say what you'll pass while surfing the net. Then they make a u-turn and follow you into your home, they invade your space... Then usally it takes a good spyware killer to rid you of such disaster. Been there, done that! Good luck on keeping it real.
Love Roger and Birgit

You got that right! ;) I agree totally...which is why I never "settled" until I found someone who did complete me. GREAT write! ;)Silver

Hi there!
I am soooo sorry for not getting back to you before now. Life, is as always, CRAZY! Moving, getting a new job, the holidays....sigh. LOL.
Anyway, I loved this one. Reminds me of my "Tell Me Lies" that you liked. But this poem has so much more soul and you reveal the layers of despair, feelings of betrayal and the awakening from the frozen lake of pain.
Well Done!

Sandie,
This is so real to me. The one that drove me cRaZy for years is now back again trying to entice me. I will not go that route, not again. As a matter fact, men get on my nerves these days. Love ya lots. ;) Very well put together my friend.

Girl, do you know my family by any chance? This poem seems to be talking about another member of my family! Everybody was after my second cousin's case like it was going out of fashion! And yap, the guy she eneded up with, just so as to please her nagging family, was married. Now she's alone with three kids to boot and jobless! Such a pity! Great one, girl! Ni.~~

This reminds me of my sister's ex-husband, thanks goodness she was smart enough to kick him to the curb before any babies were born! Why do they want to spend the rest of their lives woth us and yet treat us like gabbage? What's the point really? All women should read this. Wonderful empowering piece. Ni.~~
The Plight of the Handyman (Poetry) - 1/17/2006 1:53:01 PM
ew! now that's just nasty! just the thought of it...what can a doctor do????????????????
LOL your style has become distinctive now, and this is another great and imaginative write on your part! both erotic and hilarious, it's about time you started publishing these!
It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 1/17/2006 11:23:52 AM
ya know, you write in so many different voices, it is quite difficult to tell what is really from your own experience and what it is that you write coming from the experiences of others, or, from just your own imagination! but that is quite the gift, Sandra. i thought the writing style of this was different from your usual style, some stanzas had me reading them over again in order to get the full gist, but i think your expression was exceptional, and you've outdone yourself once again! thank you for sharing!
It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 1/16/2006 1:00:29 PM
This was a painful and ardous journey Sandie that has culminated in a superbly powerful piece...men! waste of space most times lol.

Simply beautiful. Painful, but with a lot of reality in it. Things we do for the ones we love...or is it the ones we are obsessed with?:) An eye opener for the phenomenal women/men out there.
It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 1/14/2006 12:59:29 PM
This happened to my cousin. Her ex came back 10 years later, after having left her and their daughter for another woman, begging her for reconciliation. Uh, I don't think so. She cracked up when I told her to tell him, "She's not a dog that she should return to her vomit." But good Christian girl that she is, she had forgiven him long ago. That doesn't mean she was stupid enough to take him back, however." This write was very well done, something anyone who's been burned in the heart, male or female, should be able to relate to, Sandie." ~~Nordette
PS: About fake accessories, "With breast implants and a Brazilian tan..." LOL. Men don't give a damn, do they?
The Plight of the Handyman (Poetry) - 1/14/2006 12:53:43 PM
Lord, you and Jerry Bolton should collaborate on something. ROFL. The title alone had me in stitches, Sandie. I truly did laugh out loud. ~~Nordette
It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 1/13/2006 8:52:16 PM
Girl, you got me weepy eyed. This was my Aunt Bernice who just passed. And now I'm missing her all over again but I know she's happy, separated from her pain of a married life for more than 70 years to a man who never had it so good.
blessin's and love my sistah,

Such strength and maturity. And knowledge of ones selfworth. Yup us blokes sure can do dumb things, till we learn where the brain really is. Then it can be to late..
It Was Just The Other Day (Poetry) - 1/12/2006 9:48:29 PM
Powerful poem that goes from sad sack, to finding your self worth and standing strong knowiug you have surpassed the need for him or anyone who don't see your value! Brava Sandie! Excellent write!
