Fantasia


Poetry. Yes poetry, though am not too big a fan of it, am quite close to some big time poets. Apart from the fact that I think Poetry gives people the license to say vile things and go free, I think poetry leaves the poets vulnerable, having laid bare their innermost thoughts and thinkings, plus the poet is always misunderstood. Well, let me shut up already. Here is a poem of mine from last year that I enjoy reading. Please go ahead and enjoy!

Fantasia

I am stuck in my head The sky is blue and I can’t get to bed
Pretty thoughts are floating past
While I stare with closed eyes

Singing pineapples and cheering apples make the calming soundscape
Laughing toddlers running around paint this ethereal landscape
Heavy atmosphere dripping with love
Heavenly atmosphere in my head from above

Tame lions and wild goats skipping happily
All part of this great mental family
Fair maidens waving
Grace in their walk, love in their eyes.

Wisdom's words teaching me the way to be free
I tell I her I want to be she
Yet i want to be me
She says open your eyes you will see

While I hate to say goodbye
I know I will be back
To see what’s in my head
When next I get to bed


PS: Am a big fan of P4CM, don't know them? Emerge from your cave and Google them.

Falling: Of Risks and Losses

Credit: Jerry X Based on true life events The events described herein happened to a bosom friend of mine. It is with his sad commission that I share this story. He believes that by some stroke of good fortune, this story could be a way out of his sadness. This the story of my beloved friend whom I shall not name to protect his identity. My friend met this lady at a professional engagement about this time last year. In his words “I caught sight of her when she stood up to introduce herself. She just stood out from the crowd. She was not just beautiful but she spoke intelligently. I knew if I did not get her number, I'd have fallen hand”. He further confided that I served as extra motivation. That he knew that if he let her go, I'd not tolerate any made up stories. While I feel humbled, I must clarify that I do not push my friends to go a-philandering. I just detest sloppiness, timidity and inferiority complex. So when my friend brought news of his new acqu...

God's grace, subway surfers: what's the connection?

I was in church yesterday for Bible study and it was so awesome I had to share. We studied God's grace which in Greek is Charis. Let me digress. I am a big fan of the game subway surfers and I have a score of about 255k to show for the countless hours I have put into the game. When I first launched the game a friend told me his highest score was about 80k, he further told me that he'd seen folks with scores in millions. My ultimate goal then became having a score of at least 300k. It seemed like a tall order. However with time I realised that there were boosts (like surfboards, score boosters, magnets and power ups) and aids to help me achieve my goal. The more I ran, the more boosts I gathered,  the easier the game became and the higher my scores climbed. Now this post ain't entirely about subway surfers. Its also about God's grace. God's grace to us can be defined as the unmerited favor and support God bequeathed upon us. Titus 2:11,12 I paraphrase: The grace ...

Ethereal Music: My Top 7

I feel am in Ether. What's Ether? Actually the question should be "where is Ether?" It a place deep airy place in my mind that I retreat into when I meditate and have those out of the world floaty floaty thoughts. Here are my Top 7 song for the last week in random order. 1. Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek This accapella song just gets to me in a very special way, most especially the part she sings "watcha say". Like am so much into a song with no beats! How amazing. Unfortunately, all her other songs don't appeal to me. 2. Maazid feat. Joy - Merry Go Round I never get tired of this song, it has been my consolation when my ship sail through dire straights. The fact that Maazid is in my school just makes the song closer to my situation. I don't know the dude but he sure thinks like me. Sorry this song doesn't have an album art. 3. High Society - Devil Pheeww, this song by them Sho Baraka, Swoope and crew has repeatedly been on repeat. I ...
