A SEASON OF MY LIFE.

Season after season
Time against time
Like a twinkle of an eye
A season of my life
Has come and featured its role
Not without the heat of life
But mixed with joy and sparring sweetness
Like a play the end justified the beginning
Not void of mixed feelings
Sweat mixed with sweetness
And I say you are like the palmtree
Thou child of the tenth moon
Who found her position in the eight round out of ten round
Well that was fair enough
And I say I am like the palmtree rummaging
In childhood reminiscence
Thus a feeling of nostalgia
Embracing melancholic hugs
I again echoed, I am like the palmtree
A tale of many generation,
The tale of duplicity of life and dreams
A tale of love. A tale of renewal
A tale of yesterday’s dreams actualized today.

A tale of virginity. A tale of nativity and naivety
A tale of virtue and patience
A tale of love regained
A tale of you and I towards a common goal
A tale of celibacy. A tale of childbirth
A tale of freshness. A tale of maturity
A tale of tenderness. A tale of a changing world
A tale of past hurts and grieviances.
A tale of reunion .a flourishing tale that we are all part of
A tale longevity, assurance and reassurance.
A tale that is sweetness that precedes bitterness
A tale of ripeness,readiness and reality
A tale of adventure…

The Journey of Becoming: Embracing Every Moment

There is always more to what we will BECOME—the dreams in our hearts, the pain in our chests. The highs and lows. The fleeting thoughts. The disappointing and embarrassing moments. The truths we told. The parts of us that stayed hidden. The stories we shared, the ones we are proud of, and the ones we left untold. The families that shaped us—our hopes, challenges, and desperations. Our nationalities, race, and identities. The clear paths and the undefined. The special moments. The grey days and the ones spent lingering in bed. The days we couldn’t see ourselves for what we could be. The defeating, deafening silence from those we once called friends. The lies we told ourselves about who we really are. The starting over days. The years we lost. The feigned laughter, the genuine one, the fights and quarrels with self and society. The hate, envy, and pretense from others. The ones that kept us going and the ones that brought us down. The moments that hit us where it truly matters. The love,...

Finding Closure

Finding Closure Our lives are often a potpourri of events and circumstances that shape us—defining who we are and who we are becoming. Many spend years trying to find closure from an event—or series of events—that altered their very existence. From the chaotic memories of a once "happily ever after" to the longing for a true soulmate, we all carry stories waiting to be laid to rest. It could be the slow fading of a once tightly-knit relationship, the sting of unexpected loneliness, or the crushing weight of a loved one’s passing. It may be the pain of fruitless efforts despite tireless labour, or a medical condition that rewrote every part of your world. There’s the journey of losing and regaining faith—the wilderness moments. The people we left behind, the ones who left us. The doors we closed, those shut against us, and those that never opened. The pleasant. The unpleasant. The failures that pushed us forward, and those that knocked us backward—leaving us feeling like we’r...

FEVERISH JUNE

This is one month of the year where expectations are high, anxiety and frustration bloom for many. It is that time when you begin to question whether it will be or not. My very nice friend and colleague once shared with me, that in life, people will always have expectations- you also have expectations. – When will you marry? Married- when are you having children? – Child comes. When are you having another child… and it keeps coming. It is life, don’t get mad, many of them mean well but shirk mockers. It is often a great challenge and sometimes a shaming experience when you don’t have what you should at a time or the things that comes naturally to others is often a jungle toggle for you. Meanwhile, at some point you will be disrespected by those who once respected you especially if they are more privileged than you in acquiring these life assets. They begin to address you in terms of their experience gained where you are lagging. Handle it well. Wow! It is a tough place to b...
