I had imagined a gruesome kind of pain characterized mainly by terrified screaming and an abundance of blood and gore. I never for once imagined that I would be the one inflicting such a great pain upon myself. These pains, I imagined will be inflicted on me by some wild beasts, or the evil and deranged evolutions of man. I was so wrong to assume. Photo credit: Google images The greatest hurt I ever felt happened the second I realized that somehow I had lost my love. My memories it seemed, blinded my mind and all I could see and think about was her and how wonderful a time it was being embraced in the warmth of her love. How far apart we were never seemed to matter, "I'll be seeing you soon" she always used to say, and that was always enough. We watched the skies as the day gave way to night and stars shone brightly, glittering in the skies. We talke...

Photo credit: Google images I guess that you are the answers to my prayers. The proof to show me that there really is a God, because you’re nothing short of a divine intervention. I have wondered countless times why you still stick with me, there’s no Benz, no Bentley, not even a Volkswagen with my name on the pink slip. I don’t own a house, and my wardrobe is less than impressive. I’ve had friends, family and lovers in the past who claimed to love me, and they said it as frequently as they could, but in the world where we now exist, with me and you so in love and at the top of each other’s priority list, a single action can be worth more than a thousand utterances. Photo credit: Google images You said “let’s be friends, let’s take it gently”, and I looked into your eyes and somehow I was certain that I’ve got you, and with a flirty brush between our fingertips, they intertwined and we never had to say too much afterwards to express how we feel. I want to love ...

Photo credit: Google images It was one of those hectic days at work where the time moved almost like it was on slow motion. Anxious to get off work I hurriedly attended to every detail that required input and was so relieved when the hour on the clock signalled less than five minutes to the closing hour. Suddenly I heard my phone ring, and looking at the screen I felt my spirits lift up as it was one of my closest buds on the phone. “Hey what’s up?” I answered the call. “We are having a class of 97 reunion party later today. Did you hear about it?” he asked. “I had no idea. Who’s organizing it?” I asked curiously. The memories I had of secondary school were mostly unpleasant as I had been one of the most notorious students and the subject of a lot of practical jokes. “Andrew is the one chairing the event, I heard he just got back into the country from Malaysia, and that he’s made a lot of money in Kuala Lumpur” he replied. “I’d like to see that. Pick me up on your way.” ...

Photo credit: Google images I think about you a lot. Sometimes I find myself wondering about what you are doing. I dream about you too, but in my dreams I can never see your face clearly. Every time you start to turn around, I’d wake up alone in my bed. In my dreams, I feel satisfied. We are always on a beach and we are all alone, most times I am sitting in a shade watching you as you walk by the shores barefooted as the waves from the beach rush to greet your feet. Sometimes I am walking behind you, in love with the shape of you and taking my time to appreciate the sight of every curve and watch your hair float in the wind of the cool sea breeze. I feel myself smile, but just as you are about to turn around, I wake up to the familiar surroundings of my bedroom Photo credit: Google images I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know from where to begin my search for you but just hold on and I’ll find you. I don’t know if maybe you’ve had visions of me in your dre...

Photo credit: Google images Is there God? If your answer to this question is yes, then I have another question I’d like to ask you. But if your answer is no, I’d like to have a chance to convince you to believe that life has its genesis because God made it so. If your answer was yes, like I said I’d like to ask you another question. “Who is God?” Now let’s not get carried away by sentiments and vanity, instead let us all reason together in one accord and let’s try to make the world a better place. There are people who think of themselves as gods, who manipulates the life of others for their own profit, and can take life without so much as a trace of remorse afterwards, people in offices who manipulates documents and information about their colleagues and clients to truncate their ambitions. Photo credit: Google images People in their own homes, who through the means of the internet manipulates the information of their victims impersonating and most times even...

I almost every day wake up before 6:00am and most days I just about do the same thing I do every day. Money makes the world go round they say, and every day money must be spent purchasing comfort. I understand those things, but what I don’t understand is why you feel that you are suffering because you fail to afford an extravagant lifestyle. If I hadn’t heard it come out of the horse’s mouth myself, I probably would not have believed the testimony of whoever had witnessed it when you said “Hide your face. If you don’t have money, hide your face” I was so disappointed, because I know that I love you. And every day when I wake up in the early hours of the morning, I’m reminded of how much I feel for you and how much you feel for money. You only love money and live miserably without it. You have no value for friendship and trust, all you care about is money and like a parasite you cling to wherever the money is coming from and would do despicable things even, just beca...

It was the last day of the year. The thirty-first day of December and by midnight people everywhere would be screaming “Happy New Year” at the top of their voice. I watched as you walked down the street on your way to work in the morning and never thought that before the day was over you’d have won my heart. The evening was exciting, with so many of my friends visiting to count down the final hours of the year together. The atmosphere set in festivities as music filtered through the air from the stereo in the car parked in the street. While bottles of beer lay wasted on the ground and the scent of fried chicken wafted through the air, as laughter and conversations rang roundabout. Distracted by the sight of you walking alone down the street apparently back from work, I separated myself from the group and tried to find a quiet place to wait in hope of starting a conversation with you, just for the fun of it. Little did i know that i was going to enjoy talking to you so m...
