A slice of a green paradise! My soul has been trying to digest something that is proving difficult and in my attempts to clear the mind and find myself again, I went where I go to recharge. It was a refreshing afternoon though it didn't help me achieve the intial goal, I settled for some breathtaking views! Where 'we' began. I was in the company of a good friend who is also a cousin of mine. This stretch of greenhouses house a variety of flowers usually for export. We walked…
The Sinking into Chaos... Dear Diary, I have missed you. It is NaNoWriMo and my relationship with words is currently on the rocks. I feel like a slave while picking up a pen or zigzagging my fingers on a keyboard to type sentences whichever the form. There is a gapping hole where my heart used to be and I can bet that the scattered mess clogging up my chest is what is left of it. I feel numb. And broken at the same time. They say that love can't be love if it does not do…
Fifty Four! Dear Diary, The night is long and the mind is unsettled. Cold memories are regaining life and cutting through the present like a sharp blade. The past tastes just like whatever I ate for supper and the need to spew some of it here has brought forth these words. My favourite girl has rested for the last twenty two years. Her anniversary comes on the tenth of this month. Today, just two days later, her birthday comes through. If she lived long enough to see the…
Africa is Burning I wanted to write about music and probably bore you with how I have been avoiding it even though I know it helps me heal. But that will be a story for another day it seems. Today, let me stray away from the emotions and walk myself somewhere I never really venture as a scribe, politics. If you are like me, you have already rolled your eyes while letting out a sigh that stays low until a moment like this. Politics for me is a dirty game. One that can make…
Gloom Dear Diary, The moon is showing off and the clouds are social distancing too across this untamed blue yonder. The stars are sitting pretty spread all over the night sky and a thought of balancing my bony ass on one as I drool at the view of the birds crosses my mind. Regardless of my fear of heights. I'd grow a pair of wings just for that if I could. How I am a part of this beautiful night gotta be a blessing. Don't you think? Oddly, dark depressing thoughts have…
Surviving the Dark The moon is caressing the oceanic blue night sky. The crickets are in harmony with the dying buzz of this day. Melodies of the night have come alive As the monsters hiding under this bed. Old ghosts are reclaiming their usual space Even after being long forgotten like their graves And time is on a standstill. For a second, I am reminded. That the voices in my head have spoken of this moment. They have shamelessly argued over it's possibility Behind my…
