SOLILOQUY

 




Can we just live

Without being scared of the future?

 

Can we just love

Without fear of being heartbroken?

 

Can we just give

Without fear of being taken for granted?

 

Can we just eat

Without fear of body insecurities?

 

Can we just laugh

Without masking tears behind the golden gate of 32 solid teeth?

 

Can we just learn

Without worrying about failures?

 

Can we just enjoy our loved ones

Without the fear of losing them someday?

 

Can we just give a sincere answer to "how are you?"

Without summarizing how we feel into "I'm fine"?

 

Can we just be at peace

Without bothering so much about what someone else thinks?

 

Can we just have a beautiful world?

IN LOVING MEMORY - 6

  Yipee! After a stressful week, one cannot help but appreciate the gift of weekends, so, thank God it’s Friday (TGIF) and cheers to an awesome weekend. Mummy always loved keeping me very close to her and this is something I fancy talking about.

In her usual style, she went on an immediate background research on life in Ebonyi (mummy was an informal researcher, lol) and came up with various inferences, the most outstanding of them being that they eat human beings in Ebonyi ( Ewo ! Please o,   does this still happen ?) and that they do not have good water supply in Ebonyi as their water contained maggots ( lol, I still wonder where she got her information from ). I was so excited about travelling to the eastern part of Nigeria that I did not pay attention to her concerns. I told he

My love letter

 Dear heartthrob, I'm writing this from a place filled with an array of emotions. This heart has been battered and shattered, one too many times. I no longer feel sorry, I know my experiences are shaping me into the perfect gold God has created me to be. I'm currently a bundle of broken pieces but I trust God through this healing process and I believe broken crayons still make beautiful colorings. So while I wait, I promise to get better.  While I wait, I'll heal. While I wait, I promise to live my dreams. While I wait, I promise to be kind.

Please stay whole in God, so when you come, we'll be two complete people coming together as a whole. Ours will be a beautiful union that will shake territories and secure countless victories. Though I'm currently broken, I still belie

Two years later, I still recall the trauma of that fateful Monday morning (04/11/2019) And the very second that plunged me into mourning All in a flash!   Two years later, My heart is still wounded Pain and grief suddenly unfolded Without prior notice!   Two years later, Your words of wisdom from the comfort of your bed And your hearty laughter still resound in my head Unforgettable memories!   Two years later, I cherish the loving friendship we shared A best friend like you is truly so rare My mother, my friend!   Two years later, Unspoken words, untold stories Unshared jokes, unacknowledged victories Oh!
