Reminisc-ant

As we drift apart, into our separate worlds..forcing further apart the bonds that we once held dear…

I feel the need to stop and reminsce cos there's no point fighting it.

We might have come to the end of the road.


Maybe the powers that be will mean that our winds regain on a collision path..

But in the eventuality that this one is for good..

I'll have to stop and reminisce cos there's no point fighting it.

We might have come to the end of the road..


Memories abound in my head and my heart..

I still smile when I hear your favourite tunes, but after all said and done

I'll have to stop and reminisce cos there's no point fighting it.

We might have come to the end of the road..


You'll always have a part of me, frozen and kept unfazed by time

Now and again I'll look into our book and

I'll have to stop and reminisce cos there's no point fighting it.

We might have come to the end of the road..

God has a way of ALWAYS making a way where there seems to be NO way.
Amazing really..I guess he owns all the doors, so why not really?

Commitment,Companionship, Conflict,Conviction, Confusion, Connection, Chemistry..Catch my drift??

Another New Beginning

So I've been to Nigeria and back and its the new year..
New Dreams, desires..you name it.
Only God can tell what the year will have in store..
But he judiciously keeps it a secret
I'm thankful for last year and the years before that
But I look forward to what the years beyond me will hold..
Joys,Tears..and all the Rollercoaster rides that come along..
As the book of events unknown begins to undoubtedly unfold..
I look on in anticipation..
Living and trying to love every second as it whizzes pass..
After all, the alternative would be unbearable..

Raindrops

Raindrops on my window sill
The world around deceptively melting away
I'm warm underneath my absorbing covers..So
Let it Rain..
Let it Rain..

After all, after this comes the sun..
Everything'll better than it once was.
My world'll become a brighter place..So
Let it Rain..
Let it Rain.

I'll send out a dove to explore the horizons
She'll guide me through the seasons of change.
But soon she'll find my oasis..So
Let it Rain
Let it Rain..

It's freezing
I'm a tropical being..
I feel the need to hibernate..
Naija where are you???

Silent Thoughts..

You reinspire me
Undeniably..
(Breathe...)

So remarkably
you rekindle me
Tirelessly
(Sigh...)

So contentedly..
Generously..
I give you everything
(Smile...)

When I look at you..
Quietly..
I think..
(Wow..)

And it the end..
It does all really matter..
I can't wait to look back and smile..
The world is ours..
What to do with it now?

Act 2

Music's playing in the background..
The tune's so rich..
Goose Pimples..
Something expodes..
Everything's quiet..
She steps beside herself..
Speechless..
Silent..
Suffice to say..
Words are useless..
Curtain falls..
Enough..

And again..

I feel a knot in my insides
Something's not right..
I've learnt to trust my insticts.
They prove right..again and again..
The ability of man to disappoint is one that
Intrigues me again and again..
Sometimes, I cant even trust myself to
do whats right for me..
I find myself on that road again..
Where I need to contemplate the pits
That may lie so incospicuosly before me.
But then again, history has proven that
I'm not the most rational of people..
But trying telling that to a clamp..
I've seen it unfold in my head.
The pessimist that I can be..
I dare you to prove me wrong.
Besides,I know the rules..
Most of them written in stone..
I could ramble forever.
All I know is one thing..
Something's not right..
Alarm bells are ringing in my head..

Stranger in our midst..

Stranger in our midst..
Where have you come from?
Three nightfalls ago,as we dined under the moon's light..
You became us
And we became you...
...and for a split second, for a moment in time..
Everything was perfect..just as it should be..
As we linked hands under the moon's embrace,
In acceptance of the path laid before us..
It all made sense..
And one cannot help but wonder?
What if our stranger had chosen a different path?
What if we had moved on too soon?
Before the doubts threaten to ruin the harmony..
We are reminded..
All is as it should be..

Sometimes, I wonder where I learnt the art of saying so much, yet revealing little or nothing?
When I think about the thoughts et al which I have never shared with a soul..I marvel..
But then again, I've learnt to be my own best friend..
Perhaps, one day I'll trust another enough..
To bare my soul and unburden my heart..

Oh..

Sometimes I want out of this struggle..
The constant battle to validate oneself.
Can result in mental fatigue in more ways than one..
The thing is you dare not forget
Cos the race will go on with or without you..

Sometimes I feel the need to sleep and dream for awhile..
Waking up, seemingly painful..
However inevitable it might seem..
The thing is you dare not oversleep.
Procrastination is only a short term remedy..

Too many questions running around in my head..
Cross roads converging to assumedly taunt me..
Sods law up and running as smoothly as usual.
Where do I go from here?
And what happens next?

In times like these, I hope on "The Rock"
He's all that's left...
Besides the fickleness of man..
Grant me the serenity..oh God.
I pray daily.Amen again and again..

Funny how Time flies..
But when you think about it..
We also change so much in so little time..
God grant me the serenity.

What's in a song?

Tonight, I sing a new song
Simply because tomorrow brings with it a new tune..
I think back to old chords, sung and unsung.and I appreciate
Because my History is part of who I am and who I will be someday.
And as I close the book of things past
To allow it rest on the shelves where dust resides.
Don't be fooled..Because I do it
Nostalgically but willingly..
But that was a moment ago.
As I look to the future..
Thoughts of new tunes come to my mind
And I grow a spring in my step.
I hold my head up high..
I throw a whistle to the wind.
I'm not looking back,that's for sure.

What will I bring?
When the trumpets consume me?

Who will I hold?
When the sea rages before me?

Who will I send?
To the corners that hide me?

Surely, as the sun rises from the west and sets in the east..
I know you will come..

Time?

This whole concept of "Time" utterly intrigues me.We listen to songs that preach "Do not let time pass you by", etc etc etc..Then we have the ones that say "Seize the moments" or even the random timeless quotes like "Time waits for no man".Needless to say that time is something that we all take for granted..Some people spend their lives hurrying and scurrying away, trying to hit theit "mirage" type targets..and they forget to lets say "Seize the moments"..Others, spend too much time analyzing and dwelling on the moments,which means that time continually eludes them..

But surely all this is subjective..Even the bible says that a 1000 years can be like one day to God, and vice versa..So maybe we measure our concept and perception of time relative to one another and our society at large..

I think sometimes about being in the "City Rat Race" makes you forget about what is important.That five minutes during the day spent on the phone to someone you love..that unexpected visit with flowers from someone who cares.these are not time consuming per say but provide memories that last a lifetime..

Reality is T:ime will wait for no one..We all have to ask for wisdom to do the right things at the right time..

I can't change yesterday..21:55 on the 25th October, 2005 is now a record in nature's eternal history book..I can afect 22:i5, and that's what is important..One miniscule "move" can alter the course of your life forever..

Sometimes I think about coincidence and how random moments in one's life line up to result in a seemingly thought out end.Weird..but I guess all things work together for the good of those that love him..

After all, the only factor constant in life is "change"..

OIA

The best things in life are free...
The past few weeks have been a dream
I want to appreciate right here and now..
Cos one day, you'll need to know

If

If you could hold me and whispher in my ears.
What would you say?

If you could write me a song.
What would words spring to mind?

If my life depended on it..
Would you give it?

If our love was a lie..
Would you leave?

Hey..

It only takes a fraction of a second to bring me closer to you..
Strangers as we once were,oblivious as the wind.
And now in one, inexplicable moment..
The script is rewritten..
The cast is replaced.
Cynical as I am, I daren't forget that I've been down this road before..
But somewhere, somehow..
This is different.
It seems like forever since I last went down this road..
Youthful exuberance means that we forget the lessons we've learnt..
But who cares..
As long as we're together..
In this world and the next
This is the stuff that dreams are made of
