Drifting Away From Love
#ItisPossible Is this how one begins to drift away from love? Is this how ones heart begins to glow for another? Is this how relationships eventually break? Is this how an affair begins to take place? All she had was her sensitivity She seems to be able to pick out the slightest changes in my […]
Just How Long?
#LoveWednesday. I once asked “How long should one wait in love for the beloved to really understand that one’s love is for real and decide to accept”, and various responses followed. Some said, “If it is true love, it will last and not change no matter what happens” And I quite agree with them… Even […]
This Love Will Last
#LoveWednesday #ItisPossible In those days as a young religious man, whenever I see a guy and girl, or brother and sister together in a corner, on the road, or at the junction of a street, talking, smiling, or making some melancholic motions, my reaction has always been to see them as immoral, unserious, and jobless-at […]
The Magic of Love
#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi He walked up to my side and asked “how much is a wrap of ‘semo’?”, “#50” I said, as I paid for mine-two wraps of ‘semo’ and one goat meat. At first I was surprised at the man’s humility to hold such conversation with a boy old enough to probably be his last […]

Who does not want to be in Love?
#LoveWednesday Who does not want to be in Love? Who does not want the one who cherishes and cares for them? Who does not want to be the reason for another’s happiness? Who does not want the one whose sight and words excites them? Who does not want the one whose interest they can protect […]
My Vote
#LoveWednesday From the beginning of time, man has always been different from woman in various aspect-psychologically, physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, this is not an excuse for war. This is not a reason for hearts to break. This is not a reason for separation. This is not a reason to abandon one’s family This is […]
This Two Becomes One Too
#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi Tonight, I’ll just wallow in the pain The pain of disappointment I had great expectation in mind She was excited in a different way Same thing, different expression I must admit it hurts But then, there’s no holding her for it It’s the round peg and square hole again She was right, and […]

It’s been four years now since the first time I told you I love you and the words have only grown stronger in my heart and mouth. If the four years have been entirely smooth, I would have doubted the sincerity of […]
