ODE TO A FAIR SKINNED LADY
#RandomTots (A follow-up on ‘ODE TO A BROWN SKINNED BELLE’) Very rarely will you see such beauty Fair as the evening setting sun Yet, it’s her voice that sets me ablaze A fire that can never be quenched From her first note to the last She evokes feelings of inexplicable melancholy Pardon my over-admiration I […]
OVERWHELMED
#LoveWednesday Suddenly, life happens and you keep wondering How did I get here? Just this last minute we were rejoicing Recounting our love and the next Your heart can’t hold the pain any longer How do we get to that point where our love turns sour? Where our object of joy becomes a […]
ODE TO A BROWN SKINNED BELLE
I fell in love with her The first day I set eyes on her. As I gazed on her body, Her figure eight was exceptional As I laid hands on her, Her hips well tucked under my arms, My hands caressing her, Neck to bottom, I got stucked! Here is where I’ll die, My new […]
JUPITER ASCENDING
#LoveWednesday I just finished seeing the movie ‘Jupiter Ascending’ and it brings fresh feelings of Love.

The Tale of the Anointing Oil
So I got to church on Sunday morning and we were asked to join in the prayer session. I wasn’t informed about it before, but since it was ‘Yahweh’, the God I had been talking to and not ‘Sango’ or any other idiot, I didn’t need preparation. I’ll spare you details of my dissatisfaction for […]
