DANGEROUS HOPE




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”

  6. A whole bond, heart and soul is a retrospective diagnosis.

    Let your heart open Bella and dazzle in the magic of spontanous romance and the beauty it offers😁. Strike their bundle of His, let is reverbrate the classic of Bachman. Make that taste have an enduring pattern, stamping it's memory traces and refiring after every encounter.

    Then and there Bella, you............#heartstrings

My Friend

My friend  A guardian of my interests In clarity and  uncertainty. A light in the darkness Situations may cast. A shelter in times of hurt Even when the wounds are invisible. A companion with whom I share belly laughs A confidant who has witnessed my tears As they cascade down my face. A soul who comprehends my silence As deeply as my words. A person with whom I can be completely and securely myself. My Friend  One I can trust to tell me the truth   And set me straight  The one who prays with and for me  The one who loves me  And reminds me of what’s truly important in life. My friend Without you Life with all its joy  Will feel incomplete  Life with little sadness  Will be utterly devastating My friend  You're a spice as well as an essence of life. Ifedolapo 

Imposter's Syndrome: Stop feeling like a Fraud!

I started my blog officially on blogpost about a year ago but kept it to myself for so long because of what I later discovered to have suffered from “the imposter’s syndrome”. I mean, who knew there was a term to describe my feelings of inadequacy to be myself, to start a blog, to be the lead singer for a performance or even to state my opinion in a public gathering? I didn’t know! Maybe if I did I could have snapped myself out of it and my blog will be at least a bit popular by now and maybe an artiste could have signed me up by now (two years of professional singing no   be beans na)  lol. I am in no way saying I don’t experience   it from time to time now because sincerely I do and the funny thing about it is that, it finds a way to resurface when a big opportunity presents itself. This ordinarily should be a giant red warning flag but most of the time, my attention is focused on that inadequacy, that tiny inadequacy and beating myself up to bits mentally because of ...

FROM SCRATCH

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 t...
