Falling in Love
#Adeola-mi #ValentinesDaySpecial Growing up in my religious sociocultural environment, one of the many expressions of affection my religious leaders often criticize was “I fell in love with him/her”, ” I’m falling in love”, etc. They often argue against it. To them, falling cannot be right. The idea of falling connotes something dangerous, a mistake, something […]
GRADUALLY
#randomtots #theAdekeyeExperience #tAkE Gradually, I watched as another man began to take my place; the place I had always treasured. Right there in my eyes, within weeks, I saw the same privileges I had always enjoyed given to another; and not just another, the one I had called a friend. Apparently, I was merely occupying […]
The Life of a Lady 1
#LoveWednesday #Adeola-mi The life of a lady amazes me, yet I’ll never understand what it means to be one or how she copes. She is under constant pressure and abuse, not physical alone now but emotionally, and religiously. Has she done wrong by being beautiful and of a good character?, yet we won’t let her […]
Long Live The King
The plight of the lonely touches me The one whose heart is broken But who really cares about him? Who cares about her? Isn’t he just a victim of Love? They say! Didn’t she just find herself on the rough side of love? And aren’t there others like her? Who even gives a shit about […]
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 […]
When we Love…
#LoveWednesday When we last long in our relationships and marriages, they think it’s because we married a perfect person but they don’t realise it is because we have only tasted the perfect example of Love and are merely letting it reflect in us. Personally, I don’t believe there are three types of Love (there may […]
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 […]
