October 12, 2001- The day my heart took a hit


I could tell you
I hate you,
but it will not 
change a thing.
I could ask you
what made you
betray me,
but I'll never know.

I wonder
with reckless abandon
and the brew
of immeasurable pain
why you
had to steal
the ray of sunshine
that lit our lives
with happiness.

How I wish
you knew
the essence
of the beautiful smile
that will never be seen.

How i wish you knew
the beautiful
sons and daughters
that you cut their dreams
before it could take shape.

How I wish you knew
the loving husband
that you denied the privilege
to feel the love
and warmth
of a beautiful wife.

I wonder why
you didn't
delay her
and make her
miss her appointment
on the flight
that will make
her fragile heart
take flight.

You fed her
to the wolves
of a reckless driver
who knew not
how privileged
he was
to have


royalty in his bus.


He toyed with you
and your gentle spirit
could not bare it.
I don't blame you
but I blame
the world
for denying herself
the rarity of an angel.

Just so you know,
my heart
weeps no more.
sixteen years later,
I refuse
to wallow in tears
for you imprinted
in our minds
the image of a smile
which lasts a lifetime.
I can't believe it
that you have
lived forever
in my heart
for 192 months
and 140,160 minutes.

Keep living 
beautiful angel
in all the space
you can fill
in our hearts
for you are a treasure
long gone
but forever remembered.

My Experience With Concussion (25/11/18)

Last night I found myself dazed, bruised, disillusioned and ultimately concussed after I had a supposed collision with a striker on the football field which I had no recollection of. The events that succeeded the occurrence is such which was grey and mind boggling as I tried to reconcile what really happened to me. I found myself on the sideline without knowing when and how I found myself there with people asking if I knew what really happened to me and I kept telling them I didn't know.... I kept wondering what could have happened to me until I realized  I was manifesting the symptoms of a concussion without the memory of it. The very same one that almost made Petr Cech lose his life playing for Chelsea against Reading in 2005 when an opposing player; Kevin Hunt clashed into his head and ever since has seen him wearing a head mask to protect himself as well as the recent case of concussion suffered by the loaned out Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius in the champion...

POETRY: The dilemma of a confused lover

I wonder why I gave room to foolishness When wisdom was knocking on my door. I gave you my very all Until I had nothing more to hold on to. I wonder why I didn't know how   To fully express the emotions  Cluttered in the aorta of my valve When a simple hi would have sufficed. I was falling head over heels When I should have stood tall Now I am all broken, sad and crushed beyond recognition. How could I ever forget The reflection of you Which was carved in my mind The first time I set my eyes On your beautiful face. The truth I held on to Was that you will be the one I have always dreamt about Every passing moment. Whose presence will fill me With endless joy and happiness. We started out as friends, My heart wanted more, But my mouth kept mute, I refused to listen  To the notes of love Banging at the doorstep of my heart. I wanted to speak to you, Div...
