Some may see as weeds that should taste the fine lash of a mower.
But what I see here is resilience, one dogged soul that beat all odds to grow even when chance said no..

Oxymoron
These piles of papers, trash and litter on first sight.
These many messages to convey, too deep to exhaust.
These hands craving your body,
This soul thirsting for all that you are.
These ears are temporarily separated from your lips,
but this heart communicates with yours steadily.
We are two pieces of the same puzzle.
We are cos we are.

Ice Cream
Just like beautiful dessert on a hot sunny day
A perfect palliative to cushion the heat
So you’re…..a spine to my back
A friend for the road, a friend to count on.
All that creaminess is now melting away under the same sun.
Our friendship & bond now seems lost or misplaced.

Mother Earth
Mother earth, you’d be well.
We, your children from all states of your vast compound have finally come together as united brothers and sisters to fight for ourselves and to fight for you.
Never in our lives had we realized that nothing mattered more than human love, compassion and brotherliness.
Maybe for the first time or close to it, we do not see ourselves as different colours, different creed, different religions but as one people….your children.
It had to take a 2020 pandemic for us to realize that our enemy is not us amongst ourselves but our enemy is against us all….an invisible enemy.
We stand as siblings from everywhere across the corners of our homes in your compound and we’re ready to fight united in arms and in love for ourselves and for you, our mother.

Liberty
If one does not unchain his thoughts from the captivity of shallowness,
depth of wisdom will never be found.
Not that any one man knows all, but every man can make everyday a teacher from whom to gain knowledge.
Questioning the status quo with genuine inquisitive behaviour does not make one a rebel….it only makes one a student of the great classroom of life.
Let every man cut some slack to the next man who wants to know more than what he has dogmatically been told is final. We live and we learn.

Life’s Canvas
A bright new day…and the fragrance in the air is nostalgic.
The ambience of the horizon is breathtaking and the sound of the wind is whispering sweet subtle and calming songs only close to the ear.
The wind caresses the hair on the skin and the mind receives calming thoughts that just make the heart really happy with emotions. Life is beautiful and the details are life’s art work to us,humans.

GRATEFUL
Stay humble,
Remember to be grateful,
Go hard….work hard, keep your head up and fucking give your best at EVERY single thing you do. It’s easy to settle, but it’s hard to grind.
It’s easy to wish, but it’s hard to put in work…you’ve got to do it. Be grateful also that you’ve got the privilege to go hard to achieve what you want. Be grateful for growth, opportunity and all the little details of life…it’s from here the big things eventually grow out of.

A RECORD BROKEN HEARTS
All for you, I’d break all the hearts in the world & preserve yours.

Lifted
Brought alive just like a drawing on a piece of paper….brought out of the imagination to reality.
You are the pulse of my heartbeat, you’re the core of my being, the switch to my circuit, coach of my game.

LEADS
Even when we’re lost, I know I can still count on you.
Even when we fall, I know with you by my side, we’d still rise.
Even when it seems like it’s all over with us, remember that with us, we will never be over with each other…we belong together forever.
Even when it seems like giving up is the only option left, for each other we would still push just a little more & then a little more & then a little more till we win for each other.
We’re home to each other & we’re leads to each other to always be ahead.

Hero
Being the head of the pack,…. creating the route of the track.
It’s never easy, but bearing the most burden for the team.
Everyone else watches & demands with a sense of entitlement yet you go out the way to be a good leader and regardless of how tough it gets, for you, it’s about self-fulfillment.
Even when the pan is burning your palms, you hold it for your people to use.
No one really sees your pains but you’re steady watching out for everybody, pushing the fucking limits is a must….a fucking must (excuse the french). 🙂

Hot Winter Nights
On this night, the weather outside was chilled & the sky looked like a wonderful paint art.
The ambience passed across a soft scent of beauty and calm.
I was calm…..but as the soft coolbreeze touched my skin,for some reason I felt a rising passion in me kinda like the molten from those red hot metals at a blacksmith’s furnace….I just needed your kiss, your touch and companionship.
You are my muse.

Unshaken Warriors
There are always moments when doubt sets in, truth is we got to persevere…keep our heads up.
When beaten to the ground, you can’t go lower, that’s the new foundation….build up again.
In this fight, our motto is “we would eventually win”.
We would weave through all it takes till we capture every one of our dreams and hopes. We’re warriors, we never lose. It may only just take some time but in the end, winning is our most beautiful habit.

LOVE IS A VIRUS
Until you contract it in its purest, undiluted form, you are safe.
Once in a while you’d feel it on the platonic surface.
Until the day you contract the virus, there’s no understanding how deeply it eats into you & how there’s usually no cure for it when it’s pure….no matter how much time & distance may create a barrier.

Splatter
All over me like paint gushes, you are there.
All over you like the bristles of the brush against the wall, I am there.
There’s you in every aspect of me & me in every aspect of you.
When we are collective, we are a clear bond & even when we are apart, we are both fuels to each other.
We are splattered all over every minute detail of each other’s beings & it’s a great thing. I love you.

Shooting Shots
Our guns are loaded & tonight we are taking shots.
We can’t see what’s on the other side but tonight we are making them fear us, we are taking charge, we are being in charge.
Yes, we may also be shot at, but yes, we’re controlling the vibe onward.
We have our snipers but we’re keeping them for later.
For now, we just want to beat the drums, tear down every walls in our way & make our mission known: we are only here to win!
We’re commanding fear & respect tonight, we’re not here to joke.
After we own the ambience & create the environment, we’re bringing out our snipers & taking shots at every single thing we came in here for.
It’s either we win or we win, no other thoughts, no other options.

Focal Point
All roads lead to you regardless of what turns there are.
Whether straight or crooked, the end point is at your domain, your arms, your bosom.

Detail
You’re such a beauty… an amazing perfection.
Even as we have grown older, you have grown better & sweeter, like fine vintage wine.
Every thing in you is pretty,
Everything about you is amazing
You’re indeed a detailed work of art…an amazing soul, don’t you worry, we got this .

Glory
Do not for one repulse, give up on the purpose for which you have resolved to effect.
Failure is only a setback, it is not the end.
Giving up is the real failure & the end.
What hasn’t happened yet can still happen.
What doesn’t happen today can still happen tomorrow.
Walk & work with the mind of the underdog but the heart of a warrior…..a champion.
It may seem hard, but I’ve seen people win in the very last minute when everyone else had given up but themselves.
There seems to be some magic or miracle in persistence…. in not giving up.
It may seem to the world that you’ve given up, but only you should know the truth that you are not giving up.
A slow movement is still movement.
It’s still better than not moving.
Stay strong till the end.
In the end, you’d be glad you never gave up.

STITCHES
A smile adorns the face
The face is lit up by inner joy.
The inner joy is rooted in the connection of both our souls.
We are one even though we’re two people…this is the maths.
We are home to each other….a fortress for each other from the rest of the world.
Even though, we may not always have it straight, we know we are twined together…and so easily…we belong together.
We are each other.
We are like machine components that have to be present & functional together for the machine to work.
Who knew telepathy could be so real?
I know when we are connected & I bet you do too.
We are one & the same, just living, beautiful human yin & yang.
