POETRY: The dilemma of a confused lover


Image result for friend zone picture

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,
Divulge the intents of my thought

But my mouth failed to utter

The promptings in my mind.
When I should have asked to have you
I said I did not want to lose you.

No wonder you  gave a wry smile,
At the stupid nonsense I said,

If  I was in my right mind
I would have realized 
No one loses what they never had.

Every given opportunity,
I kept telling Niniola what I felt 
She desperately wanted to hear.
I would daily remind her


How beautiful she is

Fooling myself like I was the only one
Who had  monopolized access
To make her my Queen.

I chose to believe lies
And refused to see the truth all along

I was shocked like an electric fish

When Niniola told me you have never been mine 
And you have never been close to being one.

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...

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...
