Promise

I will never let you down.
This is a reminder to myself & you.
No long talks, let the action show in the end.
You mean the world to me.

CATAPULT

Even a toy could become a projectile.
All that’s needed is a pull & then a shoot off.
Sometimes, a fall in life is the catapult being pulled backwards to shoot you into far beyond than you ordinarily would have reached..

ANTE UP

Before that day came,
We did what we knew to do best,
We played what we considered our best to you.
…..best could be relative,
However ours was truly the best we could give without knowing if anything lay on the other side.
We paid our dues to you in our imperfections & even when you let us down, we were still paying our dues.
Now, look us in our eyes before the entire world & ante-up too.
We’ve done ours….& still doing.

Swimming in the dark

art-artwork-dark-822608

I’m still swimming in the dark.
I anxiously anticipate from which side the ray of light will finally show up.
All I’ve known to do, I’ve done with my skills. However the dark still has all the space right now.
Am I still far away from the horizon of hope?
My stamina is slowly wearing out…even though I keep telling myself “swim on till the light”.
Everything a pro-swimmer can do to stay afloat, I have done.
It’s now just a matter of will I make it out of here?
Am I swimming in the right direction?
Do I give up now?
Will light ever come through?
I really don’t know exactly.
However, I will keep this brave heart to stay swimming…if ever I drown, let it be that I stayed fighting.

SUMMER’S SUN

balcony-life-person-103127It’s amazing how much beauty life has to offer.
Every now and then we feel hurt & pained from the wounds we get by being shot at by life…..but we strive,.we stay up, we keep tall, hold our chests high even though our hearts may be sinking low.

Life is beautiful & we choose to see that palette rather than that of the hurt.

We’re hung on to sniffing the freshness each day brings & we’re out here cool, needed & beautiful like the summer sun.

We’re here steady staying hungry to be in charge & happen to life.

Locked In

fence-lock-love-padlock-38866A void in the space

A bubble that won’t burst

An antique in the memory

…..one of joy, of love, of friendship & everything happy.

The memories of the great days all

preserved sacredly in the heart &

soul like an antique in a museum cos

there’s a halo around the value of

this friendship and belonging.

No matter what happens, this is

something that happens naturally

and it stays locked and sacred in the

museums of our hearts.

Blue Sky Nights

backlit-black-blue-sky-205333Those nights we lay as kids

Stared in the sky & painted our dreams

Emptied out hearts in pure innocence & peace

…..not even realizing dreams are the smaller part & the bigger part’s building those dreams into reality.

Dreams won’t happen on their own & so we’ve got to light them up with action.

Regardless, every great thing starts from a dream.

Plant the seed but water it, groom it & watch it grow into a beauty that puts a halo of pride around your head & a reward of joy in your heart.

The dream’s free…..but the hustle’s sold separately.

Fellowship

boat-chain-dawn-119562Wield all the power & respect in the world, yet no one man can do it all alone.
Thoughts that one knows all are the beginning of shut doors.
Every man needs a communion….community.
For no man is an island…even if any was one, then the world is an archipelago & we are all neighbours.
Efficiencies & deficiencies are what make us all plugs or sockets…we need the other to work.
No one man gets rich all by himself…but through providing or solving for others.
If those ‘others’ were absent, he’d be just a lonely empty bottle.

The art of life

autumn-street-trees-3711Everyday is a blessing.

Every morning is beautiful.

The overhead sun at noon is a gift for us all.

Evenings bring on an aura of relief & chill.

Nights bring to reality an artistic painting of dark blue & pitch black illuminated by a moon that graces the beautiful skies.

The beautiful smell of the rain gives its heavenly fragrance.

You’d never see the wind, but its always there to caress your skin all so tenderly.

The waves of the ocean keep on riding to the rhythm of life.

The beautiful birds are all singing beautiful songs we’d never understand but our hearts feel the rhythm.

Oh wow! How great it is to be alive.

Listen to that woman.

close-up-cover-dress-1143536That woman you call yours is a powerhouse.

She’s the most amazing inspiration there is to the man she loves & who loves her back.

That woman put her life in your hands & so she’s ready to help you build those hands to be strong enough to carry her in them.

She’s ready to grease your gears to grind hard….listen to her!

See her soul & know for a fact that she’s the engine of your life.

Every great woman who loves her man & who is loved just as much by her man is a lion in the jungle…she will keep her territory & help you build to fight off adversaries….listen to her.
Every woman who loves her man & who is equally loved becomes the mirror of her man’s life & all he does will be a reflection of her support & love.

A great woman is the foundation upon which a great man is built…believe that!

If your woman loves you & is a ‘ride-or-die’, be her rock!

ALTITUDE

astronomy-earth-explosion-2159Flying high in joy, starts in the mind.

I choose to be high on life.

Let’s get drunk on life & be high off of all the great things we have.

We don’t have it all & we won’t have it all, but our hearts will know joy when we cherish all that we have while going after all that we want.

LANTERN

candle-lantern-light-63507Fire is strong on its own.

Yet, to stay on, it needs a shield from air….whilst still needing the same air.

Every one of us, no matter who we are, are a fraction of a bigger picture…we need each other.

MAN OF MANY THOUGHTS

If you could walk in my mind, you’d see a maze of ideas.

I’m like an ever-working machine.

I’m confused, I’m inspired.

I’m scared, I’m brave.

I’m soft, I’m tough.

I’m weak, I’m strong.

I’m indifferent, I’m definite.

Half the time, we’re walking bottles of such paradoxes.

How amazing it is being a machine called Human.

COINS

Two-sided but one body.

One flip could be either face.

Either face is a result.

…..too many variables on the path to success.

However, the goal is to reach it in all that we choose…..all that we do. The result must obey our call. 

Flip it till it’s what you want.

Malcolm Agbo.

BEAUTIFUL STORIES

Let’s make these happen together.

Let’s become the focal point of attention…and attraction.

Let’s be the case-study for everything beautiful.

We would never let us down!

I MISS YOU

Everyday, I wake up & I miss you being by my side…..it’s beyond being surreal.

Everyday, I find it difficult to believe it’s true we lost the gold had.

I miss my true best friend.

I miss our friendship.

I miss you guiding me & I doing same for you.

I miss your pretty smiles & we both tickling each other.

I miss you a lot & only me knows…it’s sickening!

I feel sick, I feel weak.

I keep wondering how you feel…..do you feel the same? How would I know?

Why’d life hit us so hard?

I feel like a walking deja vu…..cos the only place I would have seen this happen was in a dream.

If you see this or you doubt it, I want you to know we belong together.

Composed & written by myself, Adokwu Malcolm Agbo.

AMMO

The man who stays planned and in order stays ammo’d up.

Life’s one unpredictable path & we know not what it holds for us.

Wishes and life are two opposite poles…unattracted to each other.

While not knowing what life holds, plans will keep us ammo’d to fight when the time comes.

A man without these will be crushed cos life is not fair & will never be fair just cos you want it to.

Life’s what you choose to make it…stay ammo’d to fight your way through.

Composed & written by myself, Adokwu Malcolm Agbo.

SOIL (MIND)

Keep and open mind to learn new things & feed your mind abundantly with knowledge.

Keep an objective mind to all things without preconceived bias.

The mind is like a soil….ready to grow things.

If you feed it rightly, it blossoms…..

If you feed it negatively, it gets warped.

Composed & written by myself, Adokwu Malcolm Agbo.

PEN & PAPER

The pen and a paper are the biggest weapons available to men.

Write down whatever you want to achieve and watch it guide your soul to getting it.

The pen and a paper will make you gold and wealth because they will drive your spirit & desire in a defined direction.

A blueprint will lead you to win easily. Never underestimate the combination of a pen & paper.

Wars can & will be won by a pen & paper.

A pen & paper are a plan already.

All great things done without a pen and a paper would have been greater with them.

Composed & written by myself, Adokwu Malcolm Agbo.
