I am tired so i sit to look through the pictures on my phone. This has been my habit of late. I see a picture of Funke doing something dramatic and i instantly hear her voice and mine intensely arguing in my head. It is about who really disfigured the “normal” dance step. Bimpe is […]

I’m Done! #Keepingfaith
You are standing in front of your room after a long day, you can’t wait to get in and feel the soft cushion of your bed against your back. That, for now is *bae and the only obstruction between you and *bae is this key that appears to be hooked inside the key hole, making […]

Gelês are evil. They should be banned from our sociéty. Period. Now, don’t just jump and start saying things in your mind like “what kind of nonsense conclusion is that? How can geles be evil? Etc ” . At least wait to hear my side of the story. It all began with the “hot” slap […]
Questions #Poetry
She would love you when you are: distant, uninterested and cold. When there is so much uncertainty as to the mutuality of feelings, she would feel consumed by the desire to be close to you. See, it is when you seem “impossible to get” that she would love you and your unavailability would appeal to […]

This moment had been lived before #Poetry
This moment had been lived before…with fireworks, tight stomachs and heaving chests, weakened knees and watery eyes.

Please do not read this #Keepingfaith
It’s 1:32 am Tuesday morning and you are awake. I know that’s not my hiccup but I’m just wondering why you can’t sleep. Why you keep picking up your phone at intervals: Scrolling through your newsfeed, forcefully refreshing even when there’s nothing interesting left to see. Why you constantly inter switch between apps; Facebook, whatsapp, […]
