Hi❤️

Image
  Hi,  I’ve a few thoughts to share❤️ In the journey of finding, understanding and becoming the full version of self, sometimes you get lost contrary to the very aim of starting the journey.  Other times you take a PAUSE because the journey in itself is like climbing up a hill with unending stairs. Stairs that distances you from the very top where you want nothing more than to stand tall and proud because you did it, you endured it all. Those times are okay too. It’s absolutely alright to pause, you pause to play not stop.  Maybe you’ve attained the height for which you once set, that’s wonderful, you deserve your flowers. But my dear, there’s more! More to be seen, done, heard and savored. Like my friend Pelumi says, “The best is yet to come” So,  Take your rest and press on! Don’t know where or what to next, need a sense of direction? fret not, there’s one who who knows the way and points it. You need only just ask Him, you need ask Jesus , that’s what I do. Yours in progress,  Ifed

FROM SCRATCH

Image
In almost a whisper  Out of desperation  She uttered “Please come by the apartment tonight” "I’ll wait by the window to let you in" He looked straight into her eyes Said nothing in affirmative  And walked away With part of her heart in his pocket. The rest of the day went by in a blur  Like the light of the sun that gives sight has been snuffed out of day and  given to the night. As the night was the only thing she could see  And Look forward to.  Night came  So did her anxiety  With full force.  Paces back and forth  Hour after hour  Time was ticking but not fast enough  Sighs upon sighs  She seats on the window pane  And he’s still not in view Her night as dark as ever. Finally she settles on the  White two seater couch  And rests her head on its arms  As her body was catching up  With the tiredness her heart felt. “It’s raining there’s no way He would ride all the way  On his bicycle to see me” She said with a sadness of a dejected soul and broken heart.  She falls asleep

Unbound

Image
  It's a beautiful thing to be able to Draw, create art from the most insignificant things. Conjuring worlds and scenarios  From only figments of imagination. To not be bound by a single  Figural source of inspiration  Is a freedom I've known since my word conscious years It's a gift freely given that sometimes  I wonder why I was chosen To carry and share such an awesome gift. Like a bird whose strong wings gives it flight  To be perched on the tallest mahogany tree in the forest And the wide expanse of the blue sky as a universal roof Such heights and lengths do I hope my words reach  And beyond.

Love is what I think when I hear your name

Image
Love is what I think  When I hear your name  Love, pure  Love, real  Love almost as natural  As I can say my name. Love is what I really feel  when I hear your name  Ifedolapo

Happy World Poetry Day

Image
  Lost am I in myself And still like a kettle brewing tea My thoughts are vibrating at a frequency/magnititude Similar to what an earthquake will feel like if contained in a body I’m brewing with thoughts to share But no choice cup is in sight To pour into. I’m burning with words to speak But no voice to utter them My stifled voice is almost Lost to the noise of this world  I must still be heard Even if it’s in whispers  Because I’ve words to convey Words of love and peace Strength and courage    Encouragement and solidarity  Words like hugs, a solace and comfort.  Hence, I’ll write  Till I’ve found me  Till my whispers aren’t whispers  And my voice is heard loud and clear  Till more people open their hearts to love  Till more people are happy, encouraged and living life to its fullest  And I’ll carry you along in that journey  Like I first promised when I laid my pen to paper  Ifedolapo

Night night

Image
Night comes my love  So does another chance  To send you my warmest love  The night comes my love  So does my chance  To talk, sing you to sleep  As you lay down your beautiful head.  Night comes my love  And it goes too  But I’ll be here in the morning  With words again to usher you into a wonderful day Everyday  Ifedolapo

SHE’S A WOMAN; AN AFRICAN WOMAN

Image
    In praise of the magnificence of the women around us For the sister,  aunt , mum,  grandmum   She is an African woman She is Black, bold, beautiful Strong, resilient,  powerful And b rilliant as the sun   She’s a woman  She’s not to be defined by  The expectation of others She’s not to be boxed to a corner of a house  or  country  She’s born for flight The woman The caterpillar and the butterfly   She’s a woman S he knows her worth and wants She  knows what she’s needs to do to get it Either slow and  steadily Or by hook or crook and fast Regardless of the methods O ne thing is clear A woman determined She won’t be deterred   She’s a woman She’s the flower yet the root She’s the symbol and the icon She’s the canvass yet the paint She’s the light that dispels the darkness She is the best of us and what’s to come A  true  bundle of wonder   She is a woman She is us She is me    I’m that woman
