SEW LIFE A BEAUTIFUL DRESS



Is it until we face death we understand

The value of the life we have

The joys of the life we have lived 

And the endless possibilities of the life ahead?


Oh, may I not live a life such passively

That I need a daunting check from life

To come to such understanding.


May I have the courage to grab life by the neck

May I equally have the strength to cut for it some beautiful fabric

That my being might not just be known for its existence but for its diverse colors and patterns.

Oh may I have  the wisdom to join the different parts at the right time

That at every season of my life I’ll be clothed appropriately.


Perhaps my needle pricks 

And as pain demands to be felt

May courage avail to press on

Or maybe my scissors, blunt

Or a cut made wrong

May persistence and optimism be my best friend


Finally, may I be able to show what such beautiful dress I’ve clothed myself with at the end of the day

May it also inspire someone to live beautifully and boldly as much as it brings me joy.

DANGEROUS HOPE

Image
Don’t give me a taste  Of what could be  If you’re not ready to go all in For my heart has been yearning  For its strings to be played For the longest time And my mind has lived on Rather vivid pictures or imaginations  Of the kind of love I want  And how it could feel like. So, you see My heart is soft yet strong  Open and waiting  Even for a flicker of hope  Of what I’ve waited for  And of what I’m still waiting for. So hope right now is dangerous  So maybe I should just stay away from you  Because I’m incapable of being friends with you  But I love you this much  And because I know that’s all you want  I still stay at the expense of my mind being a mess  Just to be your friend  Maybe this is what Sam Smith felt When he sang “Love is a losing game” Ifedolapo

My Heart Still Skips At the Thought of You

Image
You’ve taken territory  Of my heart  And thoughts  With little to no permission  Still  My heart skips  At the thought of you  As though it’s surprised  Each time in the 24 times  You wander into my thoughts  In the 24 hours the day has. A cardiac rhythm problem  As in  A failing heart  Or  A heart falling in love ? Ifedolapo

The girl in glasses

Image
A girl in glasses. Hidden behind those slender  frame of glasses  Are found eyes  That tells stories beyond  What you see  Behind those glasses  I’ve become okay  With hiding the color of my eyes. Those almost black  Hazy brown, Catlike  Tiny little eyes of mine  That serves as my window to the outside world  This pair of glasses  Have not just become a protection  For my delicate eyes against  A harmful influx of light  But have become my shied From prying eyes  who wants nothing but to devour   the stories my mouth refuses to utter  It’s a shield I’ve become  So comfortable to hide behind  As my eyes these days  Carry bags of their own. Bags from restless nights  With not enough sleep  Bags from tumultuous sleep  With torturous dreams  Bags of worries  And very  Few bags of genuine happiness  No wonder  My eyes don’t shine with luster  Like they used to before. What’s even sadder is  I’m not sure at the moment  They ever will again. Maybe they will eventually  Let’s not be pessimisti
