FIRST KISS

It had nothing to do with me standing in the moonlight
In fact, the sun awoke me that day, with its refreshing rays that brought delight
And when the time had finally come,
This is what I had to say:
I stand before you here and now
Pretty nervous though but ready to make my vow
To the one man, that chose to be a warrior above all else
By guarding my heart, propelling my focus toward God and nothing less
I stand before a cloud of witnesses to testify of one thing
This queen has found someone to position as her earthly King
He walked up to me on day one
Claimed me to be shinning bright like the noon day sun
But I brushed him off and sent him on his way
Thinking that it was some sort of game he wanted to play
He kept on persisting, every night and day
Until one day, I chose to stop being stubborn, and hear what he had to say
It wasn’t anything much other than a “hallo”
And at that point in time, I was quietly uttering, “Oh, no”
I walked away hurriedly, but He took me by the hand
The look in his eyes, made me understand
He wanted something
Wanted it so bad, to the point of pleading…

Fast forward to this moment right here that was once just a dream
I can confidently state that, I wanted no other but him
My friends laughed at me, when they had almost all the men and I had none
But now they are all gone, and I stand tall, with my beloved One
Today, I kiss good-bye the moments I spent my nights all alone
I say good-bye to the times I wished I had one to call my own
Its good-bye to the many times I wished I’d hear the ring of my telephone
No more wishing; no more dreaming, my once cold nights are all gone
He is here
Not just here, but here to stay
And I promise to love Him in every way
You may now kiss your bride…
A lil’ bit delayed but for this reasons
He was lost in the view of my beautiful brown eyes
By this time, my blood was rushing through my body, at levels so high
Sliding his hand down my cheek
I admit, to some extent, I think I became weak
He then leaned forward
And oh boy didn’t I feel awkward
Breathed me in
And I had no choice but to give in
Pretty shy
At that moment, and if you were any where close you would understand why
And when our eyes closed, our lips met

ALL THIS WAS AT THE ALTER…..
TRUST ME WHEN I SAY, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT
I had to smile realizing it was my first
And burst with joy, knowing that it was not at any given point going to be my last.

TOO MUCH

  Why is it so easy to say I’m fine? Hardly do you ever think about it, Effortlessly, it slides from between your lips. Especially, When all that lies around you is witness to the total opposite. Seasons really never last forever, There are those when the party just won’t stop Then others when silence invades, the kind like pin drop. A silence to kill or a silence to heal, A silence that kills, echoes various unheard voices, Screaming piercingly on the inside... The result... is a temporary brain freeze. Silence that heals fabricates unheard melodies, Calm, gentle that are soothing to the soul. I then wonder and it dawns... this is just too much Or is it?   Do I fear too much? Do I care too much? Do I worry too much? Do I question too much? Do I think too much? Do I foresee too much? Do I trust so much? And if I do, will I hurt, just a little too much? Do I wonder too much? Do I give too much? Do I expect too much? Have I love...

27:8 'THE SOUL LEVEL'

  Photo Credits: @KilographyKe at Qontent Studios One thing ‘independence’ teaches you, is how you never want to be alone. I shared this sentiments with a good friend of mine a couple of weeks ago, after my move out of home. It was supposed to be an exciting period for me, but incidences and circumstances can take a tremendous turn sometimes. Your introspection somewhat feels like an emergency surgery from discovery of ‘internal bleeding.’ That’s how I’ve felt for a while, like I was to be worked on or else I’d lose my mind or eventually myself. And so I wrote to a dear friend who out of the usual did something for me that to date remains priceless. Something that reminded me, why I call a countable few, my friends. It wasn’t almost 10 minutes later, that she rang me. I couldn’t respond because I was held up in a meeting. So when I got home, with a smile managing to form on my face knowing it took a lot of courage to face the day, she called me back. Frankly sp...

THE OL' SCHOOL DIVA'S DIARY

THE OL’ SCHOOL DIVA’S DIARY In a world where the trending acts of lust and sex among young people continues to be on the rise, one cannot help but wonder where the gold ol’ morals disappeared to. Our generation sorry to say is quickly becoming immune to the differentiation between ‘black and white’. For some reason, there’s no clear distinction between the two. We live in a world prone to accept shades of grey when it comes to making decisions. A “No” is no longer a clear distinct no… there’s always a maybe or how far can we go without getting into trouble. A “Yes” is no longer a clear yes; it comes with conditions to be fulfilled. Look around you and you will see-we are trying hard to deal with a menace that is spreading fast throughout an entire generation. I remember while in lower primary, I always paid attention to the frequently quoted statement, “You are the chosen generation,” but now years later, I actually wonder, if we really are, and if indeed we are then w...
