THESE WORDS AND THESE LINES ARE MINE!

THESE WORDS AND THESE LINES ARE MINE

A man at 60, needs the confidence of a 6-year-old boy; woman at 50, needs the enthusiasm of a 3-year-old girl! At 70, most people gradually withdraw from life reality! 

Life would be greater and better still if God allowed us to live it backwards whenever we hit the brick wall: how nice and fulfilling this would have been! I’d give the World back to God if I’d be able to live mine backwards. 

But alas, like the Sun which has been standing still since Day One of God’s Creation: only the Earth keeps on turning in front of the Sun. Our lives cannot be lived backwards, forward is the only nature of Time.

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it. 

Life is both fascinating and frightening, to be able to walk around without batteries below my spine; makes me wanna catch the tail I don’t have! 

Our World is one gigantic pool which God filled with gazillion words for us to dive in and fish them out. God’s World is made up of words: His World does not need bricks and mortar to be seen and felt in real time.  

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it.

Whenever and whatever I write, words just pop out of my brain like hairs out of my cleanly shaved head. It is less of thinking and more of writing. I write music through the tips of my fingers. 

I am a natural in every sense of the word and to my delightful self: enjoy as words detach themselves from my mind and jump to script. God knows I love this! 

These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it.

 I am the symphony: the beat, the harmony and the melody.... the finest result of the heavenly passionate orchestra which took place between my mother and father one fine sweet dark night. 

Every word of mine scripted and posted for the World to see, represents my legacy and selfless contribution to the sobriety of all societies across the Universe. World…. I’ve been thinking about You!

Yesterday forever loiters inside my memories whilst the Future remains conjugated in my horizon Today! 

Our lives as humans are forever stuck to our Yesterday: life lived yesteryear, forever lingers in our brains keeping us wondering what the Future might hold for us! 

Why we always see our future in the context of our Yesterday? I don’t know. This will remain a mystery to me till I go to my grave.

I live in a circular world and life is a continuous cycle: I have gotten used to being dizzy when things get Topsy-Turvy! 

Finding myself on the wrong side of Time has become a part of my existence and the older I get, the less I find this strange life shocking. 

Our World is an oyster full of surprises which have become all too common and familiar for some of us to even take notice! Who cares? I don’t!

Counting your stars every night is like counting your blessings! You've had better days than bad ones, more successes than failures! You're Blessed! 

If you care to take a minute and look around, before you complain to God: there’s always someone and some people worst off than the situation you think you’re in.

Whatever you're going through...keep on dreaming because this is what keeps your heart beating: if you stop dreaming, you become a dead man walking just waiting to be buried! Felons condemned to death also dream of being free someday.  

I am the symphony: the beat, the harmony and the melody: the very ink and paper of my words…I own and eat them every day!

“Words mean more than what is set down on paper. It takes the human voice to infuse them with deeper meaning.” cried Maya Angelou!

 These Words And These Lines Are Mine! I am original and I have said it. The symphony, the beat, the harmony and the melody…I am!

MY BABY.... SHE'S ALL I GOT!

Feelings, in whatever mood matter sometimes.. . If I must open the window of my heart and let you see the real backdrop behind this narrative... this is it. After being let down by my first daughter and after we've agreed for her to meet her little sister for the very first time... I was very distraught. She withdrew at the last minute. I went to bed with a very heavy heart. I believe the Spirit whispered inside my sad heart these sweet words in the dead of the night. I tossed and turned as I began to listen to my heart, comforting and propping and lifting me higher than I thought I could ever climb. Everything else is history after this amazing encounter of wrestling with these incredible words and lines in my heart. Waking up the following morning was nothing but a formality as I began to smooth all the way to my last verse. Yes, yes... She's My Baby and She's All I Got ! Reflections, realignment, retracing and recollections of the life spectacled usually incognito to the...

BETWEEN THE EARS!

  Between The Ears! Hearing in a newborn baby, is one of the earliest activated senses... even before this baby could see. Words get spoken out and start to reverberate around the head and get trapped between the ears before they make sense to the brain. Babies, learn to interpret sign language and by reading lips ahead of understanding the language spoken in their homes. Is it not amazing and refreshing that we learned to smile after seeing our mothers demonstrate their warm smiles and mimicked them joyfully kicking with all fours? Between the ears... Our North and South Poles... sustaining our lives through balanced intelligence. It is hard for me to believe that the balance exerted by my feet originate from the water level maintained between my ears. Nobody understands Trigonometry more than God. Hello. Our bodies and beings are 100% mathematical and 100% Physics. Between the ears... In case no one ever told you this… not even your teachers. Every single pers...

THROUGH HER EYES!

Reflections...  O for the Power of the Written Word! It only takes a single word or two to build a castle in the air. I cannot thank God enough for blessing me with endless words I can configure into any form at any time of the day.  In this Poetic Love Rendition, I leave it up to you, my reader, to make up your mind. What in God's world I'm on about. Enjoy!  If you've been reading my works for all this time without subscribing, you should be ashamed of yourself! If you feel my writings build you up and encourage you in life, what are you still doing?  Subscribing to my Blog and sharing it with your friends; is the greatest favour I will ever ask of you. I spend a great deal of time and sweat when writing these words of life, just for you. I'm not complaining my friend.  God bless you.  Through Her Eyes! The way she smiles and the way she walks, all designed to fascinate and mesmerize my cool. The way she talks and her royal looks which say, I am all ...
