Embrace

 



If you see me out today

Don’t just walk past 

I need a hug 

And that might just be 

All the difference my day needs.


Yes, I have a smile plastered on my face 

Yes, I look stunning in my red corporate dress

Yes, I’ve had my favorite cereal this morning 

Even so, I might smell like the beautiful delicate flowers you’ve only gotten to read about in books 

Or see in videos

Yet my mind is in disarray 

And the clouds are gathering 

for what might be a thunderstorm in my head. 


I need a reminder to step out of my mind's grasp. 

And a hug might do just that.

Beware, I might also let down 

The oceans of tears

Just in case you want to rethink that hug 

Lol

My Friend

Image
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

Fade and Lele

In the vibrant city of Ogbomoso, there lived a girl whose presence was as captivating as it was unique. Though her stature was petite, she radiated a powerful spirit that belied her small frame. With a soft, melodious voice and words that flowed like a gentle stream, she could charm anyone who crossed her path. Her movements were graceful, almost like a dance, filled with an elegance that seemed to transcend the ordinary. While many might label her as docile, nothing could be further from the truth when it came to her dreams. They soared higher than the tallest buildings in Ogbomoso and crashed with ferocity like the relentless waves at Nazaré. Her aspirations were colossal, their depth hard to comprehend, but she clung to them fiercely. They were her lifeblood, a fierce flame that propelled her forward even when the world felt heavy. In her heart, she knew that as long as she held onto her dreams, she possessed the strength to conquer anything that stood in her way. She met her fellow...

Love and Convenience in Friendship

  Love being an action word precludes there’s an exercise to it. This exercise requires and includes expression and intentionality. In other words, “Love get workings” To express love in any relationship is like nourishment is to a plant- water, sunlight and good soil . While intentionality is active effort done towards an end which is the opposite of convenience - whenever the stars align .  Here’s the thing, I love quality time, to be specific, quality time with myself . It’s one of the greatest ways I show myself love. But I also have friends that I’d give a kidney or an eye to if need be. This goes to show I’ve a certain depth of affection for these ones.  So even if personal time is important to me and I have a friend whose primary love language is quality time, I accord him/her quality time even if it’s not convenient. Why? Because this is an expression of love the person understands. I learn to give gifts to the one who values them more even if gifts do not spea...
