When Love Happens
#LoveWednesday Is it possible to stop thinking about you? Is it possible to totally forget you? Is it possible to get you out of my mind? Like, be immune to the sweetness you command Cos the way you fill my thought is quite enormous Not that I’m complaining, I’m just curious Was it I that […]
To The Single Brother
#Lovewednesday My heart goes out to the single brother (and sister), especially the one who has been ‘double’ before; who has once tasted love. He has had his heart entwined with another and it’s now hard to stand alone. He has tasted the sweetness of ‘the two that becomes one’. He has known what it […]
She’s Just My Friend
#LoveWednesday He’s just my Friend She’s just my Friend Thank God for them The ‘He’s-just-my-friends’ of this life The ones who come at just the right time A time when our hearts can’t hold longer Who see our hearts broken and shattered And are determined to make it feel better The ones who give much […]
The Case of the Man with the Woman
#LoveWednesday In my society, the man is the initiator The woman is the receiver I didn’t write the code, that’s how I met it Maybe because ‘Adam was first formed’ But then, I’m not a fan of ‘Insanity’ Except it is producing desired results She has been taught to only receive So she sits there […]
To The Fathers…
To the absentee daddies The ones who left their sperms and never looked back Who denied their DNA to the teeth Who wouldn’t take responsibility Well…it’s still your day We wish you were here with us, but it’s still okay We feel your pain, your fear, your ignorance We feel the burden of your guilt […]
Of Christian Brothers and Nails (Part 2)
#LoveWednesday (Read part 1 here: http://wp.me/p2D2CT-nF ) Nail three: So…there’s this final guy who is a friend to this girl; not just a friend but a very close one. They’ve been together for a while, they like each other, and have made it known severally, using diverse mono and multi-syllabic appellations like ‘sweetie’, ‘dear’, ‘sugar’ […]
Keshi Was Here
Player of players, coach of coaches, Winner of winners, man of men. Hubby of hubbies, hommie of hommies, Nigerian of Nigerians, patriot of patriots. He kicked, taught to kick And to caught – the leathers. Keshi kicked kicked kicked And…….. Keshi kicked the bucket. When next you speak of who was here. Speak of the […]
The Nature of Love
#LoveWednesday The nature of Love is to grow or die. It can’t be left on a spot unattended It is either serviced by nourishment Or impoverished by neglect Perhaps many of us young people don’t know this We initiate love, and think we can just let it loose We don’t want it to die, Yet […]
What Make Marriages Last Long?
#LoveWednesday What holds couples together? What makes them last long? What binds them forever? What is the motivation that keeps marriages? The thought that God hates divorce? The dread of the wrath of disobeying him? The fear of falling short of religious standards? The shame of having missed the ‘will-of-God’? The warnings from family members? […]
Recalibrating the Prodigal Son
#RandomTots Could it ever have been possible for the prodigal son to ever understand? I mean, you have life going sweet for you; everything you’ve ever desired: money, booze, girls, affluence, etc…only that his accountant was not sincere with him. I believe it’s not easy to suddenly drop these things and head right back […]
