RED!


Grace, class and good looks
Those were the package you got
Anytime she came around. 
She came from a good home, had
an amazing upbringing.
However here was her issue, just like
any hot Lagos babes slay queens
She loved her coins.
Men flocked all around her, but
she failed to settle down with one
the cash flowed smoothly but her
sense of morals flowed south.
she got so many messages every day,
but that one message got her attention
his profile spoke money and she understood that language very well.
They exchanged numbers.............
he lived in the North but he was coming to Lagos
very soon, he made her so many promises, all of which she loved.
He said to meet up in a Hotel, to any other 
person that would have screamed red.
But she was so caught up in high of the luxuries, she became so used to 
these red lights, she couldn't care to
stop.
The D-day came, the hotel room door
buzzed open
She saw the fine designer brands and was a little impressed not that she would show it.
They had an array of small talk
mostly consisting of how she looked prettier in person, you know............
the usual lines. Then the moment came, he got too touchy but as usual, she spared no time to show she wasn't up for it, he seemed like he agreed
that was until she laid on the bed all in a bid to relax, he saw his chance
he took what he wanted....... And left her with nothing but pain and a wake-up call. She actually wasn't made for this life
too young, too naive and too confused.

WHAT ARE YOU BUILDING!

“Don’t tell me the moon is shining, show me the glint of light on broken glass.” That is a guiding principle for me. Whether I am writing or editing, I seek to paint words with vivid brushstrokes, tapping into ideas through images, feelings through sensations, facts through well-mined research. Once I start a project, my focus goes into striking compelling notes of expression within a given equation. Let me tell you a story of a jazz artist named Louis Armstrong. Louis Armstrong applied to attend a music school. At the audition, he was given scales to sing, but he could only sing the first two notes properly and he was told he didn’t have what it takes to be a musician. Every individual in hearing this will cry for days for being rejected in their place of interest. Just imagine as a lady being rejected from Mac cosmetics for her inability to distinguish face corrector or a man being rejected from a 1 billion dollar contract he has been working on for years. Think of it, how

MY LOVE STORY

Image
You see, life is not a computer keyboard that you could get your type or a little mix of my taste that will undergo a more energetic reaction than potassium and water.  It was more like blessings where you could not get your little mix or type but the perfect thing for you cos His ways are greater. They were my wave in the seashore in which the sound of the wave on the shore makes my heart smile. Yeah, they are that good but not perfect. Just like a heart drawn on paper or rose grow on thorns, we have hiding scars like heartbreak , betrayal, loss of loved ones, downfalls, financial crises, insecurities, victims of rape, unstable homes, regrets, we were never understood, neglected, just to name a few, which makes us different, special, uniquely strong and who we are today through the help of God, for our past doesn’t define who we are but what we believe individually about us that defines who we are. “Sometimes what makes us insecure and vulnerable becomes the fuel we nee

APPRECIATE HER!

I have come to realize that sometimes people are so short-sighted that they cannot see their past I don’t understand how stupid you must have become, to forget how you made it this far. The past isn’t a darkness to force into the depths of oblivion, it is the path that helps you get past the hurdles you need to pass into a better future. I hope somewhere in this reminder, you were able to remember the glimpses and fractions of your past you have left behind. Maybe while you are trying to remember you would notice that woman that has cried and struggled, been mocked and ridiculed because she tried to give you the love she thought you deserved, because she thought you needed all the love she could give and you were willing to show her the same measure of love, but you didn’t have to, she loved you regardless. Maybe, maybe and if you remember you can unearth her from the corner of your mind you label “past”, maybe you will remember the pain you only heard about or the scars you saw but
