LETTERS TO OLUDHE When we met,We were strangers,And we just might have remained strangers;But souls bound to meet;Will claw and fight until they find each other;Find the others;And this was how she became osiepa;Osiep chunya;And in a way, she will always be,Friend to my heart,Friend to my soul. TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART LOVE & … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (59)

TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART
TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART I think I really pushed myself,To finish the poems, letters and stories in that collection; I gave my heart and soul to that book;And most importantly; I gave parts of me I didn’t even know I had; Whether the collection will be widely read;Or it will only be consumed by … Continue reading TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART
LIVING SINGLE
LIVING SINGLE Choosing me;Living single;Comes from a point of understanding,That heartbreak and pain is inevitable; It is not the avoidance of these emotions,That makes us not seek love;It’s the appreciation of our own space,And the person we are becoming. LOVE & PAIN
A LIFE OF COMMITMENTS
A LIFE OF COMMITMENTS My love language,Involves commitment, That’s why we believe in special humans,And commit to love; and the ones we love, That’s why we hold our dreams dear,And commit to chasing them, That’s why we seek ourselves out,And now commit to ourselves first. “Know thy path, and live it out to your last … Continue reading A LIFE OF COMMITMENTS

LETTERS TO OLUDHE (56)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE When things ended with her;You were heartbroken,And never thought you would be okay ever again;You thought that experience;Would change you forever;Mornings came,And evenings passed,And you somehow slowly began to find yourself again;You finally came home to you;This was your coming to birth. LOVE & PAIN
IT IS NOW, JUST ME

LOVE & … Continue reading IT IS NOW, JUST ME
NO HATE NOR REGRET
NO HATE NOR REGRET You never forget;Someone you’ve had a deep connection with,And been attached to,For so long; You were once home,And the reason I smiled like a fool;But those days,Are sadly, long gone; But I’ll carry whatever we had,For the rest of my life,In gentle embrace;It won’t be with feelings of regret, nor hate. … Continue reading NO HATE NOR REGRET
A NEW DAWN
A NEW DAWN When you’ve been attached to someone;And things haven’t worked out;The only other option;Is detachment; You still have your life to live;You still have new people to meet;You still have more moments to experience,You still have life in you and love to give; When you’ve been heartbroken;It feels like your life has crashed;But … Continue reading A NEW DAWN
LETTERS TO OLUDHE (55)
LETTERS TO OLUDHE She was somehow,Always going to be the one,You threatened to love;You had known love before;But nothing like how you had known it with her;But it never really got to bloom,And you never could really say you loved her,But you were in love with her;And you’ve learned the difference,And are now getting to … Continue reading LETTERS TO OLUDHE (55)
