LETTERS TO OLUDHE There is a saying among my people,That the day you meet your mikayi,The sun shines a little brighter,And the temperature is a bit hotter;I have no intention,Of marrying more than one wife,And there are days I doubt, if I even really want to marry;Neither do I know whether we’ve already met,Or we … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (47)

WALK WITH ME
WALK WITH ME I hope I one day,Take you with me,On one of my walks; That’s all I want;To share with you,This side to me. LOVE & PAIN
THE LOVE NOT EXPLORED
With this piece, it was a lot about introspection - on meeting someone, a stranger, who could eventually, mean the world to you - but meeting them at the wrong time. It’s reminiscent, of a time yet to come, and of memories, moments and feelings; that could last a lifetime. THE LOVE NOT EXPLORED I … Continue reading THE LOVE NOT EXPLORED
THE REASON I KEPT AWAY
THE REASON I KEPT AWAY No day passed by,That you didn’t cross my mind, No day passed by,That I didn’t find myself missing you; And I’m sure you probably asked yourself,What kept me away; And now thinking about it,It was the futility of trying to build something with you; We wanted different things,And life was … Continue reading THE REASON I KEPT AWAY
IF YOU MUST
IF YOU MUST If you must try to forget me;I pray,I flood your nightmares;Since dreams are things,We long abandoned; If you must try to forget me,I pray,I remain vivid,In all the memories you carry with you;I pray I become the ghost you both dread, crave and lust. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS WE NEVER WROTE
LETTERS WE NEVER WROTE I think I was a little sad;That you didn’t reach out,When shit hit the fan; But I guess,We are all dealing with something;Prioritizing certain aspects of our lives; But it is,What it is;There’s nothing more to be said. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (42)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE There are those we never stop caring about;Those who will always hold a special place in our hearts;And no matter how much we move on;Or try to move past them;That deep affection for them remains,And we carry that love for them;With us,For the rest of our lives. LOVE & PAIN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (40)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE Within me,Was a deep desire for familiarity;Something that felt like home;Something that resonated with something within me;And at times, I felt like I was chasing the wind;But some times, it felt like I had finally arrived;Finally found what I was meant to come back to. LOVE & PAIN
OUR LITTLE INTERLUDE
OUR LITTLE INTERLUDE I texted you the other day;And I couldn’t help but get the feeling,I had been blocked; I’m also not sure when you read this;You’ll know that this was meant for you,And only you; There was something about you;That drew me to you;And I would have loved to have gone deeper with you; … Continue reading OUR LITTLE INTERLUDE
THE FOCAL POINT
Today, we go back in time; I honestly can’t remember when I wrote this, nor what was going through my mind when I did. Of late, we’ve been revisiting the past, understanding what we once understood, how we moved back then. This, I guess, is a piece that represented what once mattered to us, and … Continue reading THE FOCAL POINT
