NEW YEAR'S EVE TORTURE!

New Year’s Eve Torture!

Every year I’m forced by the calendar to reflect on my immediate future looming in just 24hrs... I keep thinking!

What in the world is the new year going to give me? I always look forward to surviving the flaming swords. These whatabouts are more than I can bear!

God gives each person, enough time of more than 61000 hours per year to find out what exactly we want in our limited lives.

Some people survives and count their money. Others sheepishly withdraw to their sad corners and lick their wounds!

Hey. What the hell happened to all the luck allotted to my timeline?

Different strokes for different folks!

The difference is what decides the kind of stroke you end up with at the end of your day!

New Year’s Eve Torture! There’s nothing I hate in a year like the Festive Season!

Sometimes I wish I could just hibernate and sleep it off! Crazy Festive Season.... Damn!

Midnight November 30... Goodnight everybody, I’m going to sleep! See you all at the back of the new moon the second week of January.

This boy who looks like me is tired of watching all the madness unfolding before my eyes.

I mean, the real Festive Season and Christmas ended when I was ten years old!

New Year’s Eve Torture! I believe after ten years of age; every boy and girl realizes and discovers all the farce and brouhaha behind.

Why does everyone pretend to be so happy as if they’ve just landed from the moon? Happy and Merry Christmas!

If Christmas has so much influence and power to even turn enemies into friends, why not declare every day of the year a Christmas?

Just come to think of it now. If every soul under the sun reveres the Festive Season so much as to forget all about their enemies. Eureka!

New Year’s Eve Torture! This could only mean the world has been sitting on top of gold fields all this time.

Who needs enemies when we could enjoy each other so much. Am I lost or in a wrong Planet? Everybody is all sensitive not to step on another’s toes!

New Year’s Eve Torture! All my big sisters saving one, took their first glass of alcohol in the Festive Season!

One of my sisters became so drunk one Christmas she went singing all around the neighbourhood!

Me didn’t know my usually quiet sister could actually sing so unashamedly and heartedly loud!

New Year’s Eve Torture! I once met a very tired looking and despondent Santa somewhere in Middle Earth!

Hey wassup Santa? Boy oh boy, I have spent all my life giving and teaching people to live in peace!

All the warlords behind these hostilities around the world were once my harmless kids! Whoa!

New Year’s Eve Torture! Had the Lord blessed me to be like the moon.

I’d be enjoying a much shorter year. My day would be 29 and a half long earth days.

Hasta la Vista New Year’s Eve Torture!

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 ...
