Naked


Alone with her
My thoughts rage wilder
My soul is lifted
Though my body resisted
My heart still insisted.

Even without putting up a show;
She peeps through my soul
All I see is shadows
Where all my fears wallow

What will you have me say?
My heart races than usain
My thoughts could sink an ocean
Silent Words too heavy for Samson
Wish I could have them spoken

But as usual she made to leave
And am still lost in disbelief
She's had me in friend zone
Together but am riding solo.

As she leaves me in shadows
And am now naked as the snow

Scars (Part 2)

Image
Continued from part 1.                                  If you missed part one, click    here I fear that I let them do it to me.  I fear that I gave them avenue to use me, to hurt me.  Deep down in my heart a voice says "no you didn't "      Bill says "no you didn't "      But it's obvious, isn't it?  After mum remarried when I turned fifteen,  that was when the self stabbings and cuttings started.  I think I gave them the cue.  Mum, a career woman was rarely at home. According to her,  she remarried for me. So that I can have a man figure in my life.  I was always left with mum's husband and my step brother.  That was when the blood began dripping and the smell began seeping out.  I bet they could smell it.    Dad,  as I had to call mum's husband,  raped me.  It didn't seem lik...

Miss Take (Part 1)

Image
When mama asked Sam to go to the store opposite their house to get her baking powder, neither her nor Sam knew their life was about to change. "I'm doing homework, mama” Sam had replied. “I'll cut your mouth if you say that to me again” Mama retorted. “Will you leave that seat now and go get me baking powder before I make you?” Mama said, her voice a whole notch higher. Grumbling, fifteen year old Sam closed his note to obey his Mama. He stretched and yawned as he stood. He had been sitting for an hour and some minutes. Sam was one of those teens that went to school because he had to. He didn't hate school, but he wouldn't say he love it either. In fact, he thought nothing of school. He just went because he had to. He had one year left before graduation, then he'll head for college. He looked at his wrist watch, the one his girlfriend, Jane had bought him when he turned fifteen. The time was 3:15pm. His girlfriend, Jane, for his birthday, had ...

Extracurricular Activities (Part 1)

Image
Today is Valentine, Jacob broke up with you over the phone because you wouldn't send him your nude.  Although you don't care too much,  a breakup is always a breakup. So thanks to Jacob,  your day was spoilt. You're a teacher in a Primary school, your dream job. It's not exactly about the money, you just love kids or  probably as your life coach says, "you exist" that is; 'ex' you were in the past,  'is' you are in the present,  and 't' you will transcend to the future.      "What's on the time table, Timi ?" you ask the nine year old you had chosen as the class captain.         "Extracurricular activities, Miss Bunmi" she replies.         "Okay children, go to the changing rooms and get into your play clothes" you say, rising from your seat. They start to leave the class.  Boys to the room on the left,  girls to the room on the right. You start...

Extracurricular Activities (Part 2)

Image
Continued from  Part 1 Your head is still spinning round and round and round when you come back into the class. You ask everyone of your pupil to sit in their chairs and put their heads on their desk. The school is against such system of the kids idling away while they could be doing something, but you need the break, you try to convince yourself. Your face is buried in your palms on the table, your eyes shut tight, but the images keep flouting. One and two and three at a time. You keep hearing the voices over and over again. Lifting your head from the table, you put your hands over your ears to stop them from coming in. But they aren’t there. They are buried in your soul. And then you hear his voice, your life coach’s voice. He’s saying;               ‘ex-you were in the past, is- you are in the present, t- you will transcend to the future, that means to ‘exist’. But you want to do more than just exist. ...

Missed Period

Image
I still remember it like yesterday. It had been the first of January, last year. Our Reverend had been making the declarations, then he said "Someone here would miss her period before this month runs out" As expected we 16 and 17 year olds were hiding smirks and giggling silently. "How can he even say that?" My bestie, Ajoke had whispered to me where we sat in the choir stand. It was two days later Uncle Tobi, mum's younger brother had come to see us for the new year. He was a sailor or something like that, something having to do with working on the sea and he had that cute manliness that exudes from sea people. He always wore his flip flops around the house, you could eat from off his body. He was that neat. I adore him. I still do. "Nne" He'd usually call me, "serve my food in the sitting room please, I need to watch the match between Real Madrid and Chelsea." Or whatever clubs were the case. Football was the only thing he watc...

Hi, I'm glad you checked in. It's been a while I posted on beauty tips, I promise to do this more often. Following the recent "virgin hair" trend, more and more ladies have ditched using hair relaxers and are embracing the Afro look of an African un-permed hair.  Although the pain and difficulty associated with the management of the African virgin hair has discouraged some from continuing in this trend, yet many are on the journey of achieving that great natural Afro look with their virgin hair. With this kind of hair, you'll most likely experience some of the following, especially because of the nature of our African hair; Breakage Dryness Itching Brittleness The hair is stubborn and difficult to comb Healthy habits for your face to maintain an acne and blemish free skin. Click here to read  I conducted a mini research on ladies and hair stylists on the best ways to care for virgin natural hair. Surprisingly all of them ag...

Diary Series; Capture the moment

Image
Tribute from the children. The moment we received news of your death, our world caved in, the seams of our hearts came undone, we died within. Sleep eluded us, we laid awake all night. If we could write a story about you, dear mother it would be the greatest story ever told since the beginning of mankind. Words are not enough to tell how much you meant to us. Your image still fills our heads. I zoned out. I thought of my own mum back at home, would I say these things too when she dies? And my dad? And my brothers? My only sister? Another Story in the Diary Series; Miriam's Diary.  Click here to read . I needed to walk but I just sat there listening to the drowned out voices of my friends as they sang a song to their mother. I remember all the times they made jokes on her, or complained bitterly about how tiring she was. She was the last thing they needed in their life. But, here, now, it’s different. And they’re not faking it. They really do need her. They do. Peopl...
