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.

FLOW OR FLOAT?

A lesson I am learning, the older I grow, is that with discovery comes revelation, and revelation does not always soothe. I believe in the slow burn of human connection, not the fleeting flicker of a sprint. I take my time, extending the same patience and grace to others that I give myself in my own process of self-discovery. Sometimes, curiosity bubbles up, a genuine thirst to understand. Other times, my emotional and mental reserves are low, and I'm simply present, observing. But…intrigue me. Nudge the edges of my world with a spark of genuine interest, and you might just pique my curiosity. A "Hmmmm…who is this person?" moment might dawn, and the spotlight of my attention will shift your way. As we forge new connections in life, we are met with a mirror—not always a flattering one—that shows us how much we have changed, and perhaps, how much we still wish to. In that reflection, we see the vastness of who we are and the contradictions we carry. Self-awareness has unlo...

THE WHISPERS BEFORE THE SHOUT

Hey you! 😃 Has anyone checked in on you today? Or better still have YOU checked on you today, or lately? If not, well then this is a reminder to do so; to create time in your schedule to hold your heart, mind, body and soul as an offering to God in prayer and allow it to be searched, comforted, and mended so that you can operate wholly and holy. Quarter one of 2025 is coming to an end; a palpable shift hangs in the air with testimonies within it being starkly different. For some, the journey has been a smooth glide, a serene cruise through calm waters. For others, they are overwhelmed by life having launched into a sprint at the beginning of the year; and now, they are finding themselves breathless amidst a landscape of boundless potential. I discovered something interesting lately; while many of us are knowledgeable of the truth and necessity of slowing down, there is a fear and guilt attached to this God ordained activity called rest. We are afraid to rest because we fear that if we...

The "WHAT ABOUT ME" ERA

Happy New Year—or maybe a better greeting is, You made it! It’s been an eternity since I last did this, weaving thoughts into sentences. Back then, it was pen and paper; today, it’s keys and screens. The act of writing itself feels like a resurrection. My writing process for the hiatus period has been a messy one of delay, distraction, overthinking, and an impressive dedication to avoidance. Not encouraging terms for the beginning of the year ey? True, but the awareness of it is the start in the right direction if you ask me. 2024 had been a year of relentless demands, stretching me thin in every direction. I constantly felt like I was chasing an elusive "enough," a feeling that left me perpetually unsettled and plagued by the insidious whispers of inadequacy. "I don't know," became my frequent refrain, a mantra of self-doubt that clung to me like a shadow. Yet, as I sat down to evaluate the year, a profound realisation dawned: I had pushed myself beyond my per...
