Maureen Alikor: Smile that conquers the storm


Many days and nights I have wondered how you conquered the storm,
And the reason why you glow so bright and mask the shine of the sun,
Under the troubadour you traversed cause your heart is full of beauty and love,
Reminding us that we reshape and reconstruct our story not our scars,
Every passing moment and changing phases of life, may you be a beacon of hope,,
Effervescent, extraordinary, priceless, valuable, bold and beautiful like fine pottery
Nurtured, natured, creatively shaped and designed by a masterful artistry.



A life without you being present would have caused a ripple and cataclysmic rumble,
Like a Tsunami, there would have been a great wave of violent tremor and disaster,
Indefatigable, irreplaceable and unfathomable is your worth to this existence,
Knocking down doors and conquering territories, breaking forth with a spring in your step,
Oh, I pray your life endlessness; of peace, joy, happiness and longevity of life,
Realizing that your vision and purpose is to revitalize the drowning soul as a shining star.


Happy birthday Maureen Alikor; The beautiful and trailblazing you blessed with a smile that conquers the storm.

Thank you for taking out time to celebrate me and for penning such words to honour me a mere mortal.

In my life, every positive fruit and result you see is the handwork of God. He had been a true Father and a true King who reigns. My entire life is dedicated to birthing fruits that represent God's kingdom.

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...

Poetry:The Altar of Matrimony

I have waited,  I have really waited For many days and nights Through many sunrise and sunsets  That I have lost pace with. I have always wondered And found myself lost In the world of my thoughts I have been shamed I have been mocked I have been chided All because I chose To wait for you And dance to the rhythm That we have been instructed. This day Seemed never to arrive Out of impatience People have broken themselves Into different souls And meshed with different bodies. I am so proud I waited for you I am so proud I am not a coward For pinning values on you That I refuse myself. This night We will teach ourselves The rhythm of love And move at our own pace Tonight I see not used good But a beautiful treasure. I see not an art in a hurry to act but an art whose beauty ages  like a fine wine. Ton...
