Valentines Day has always appeared just as any other, and this year, it wasn’t any different. Why does everyone get so worked up about it? I hear it’s like Christmas for some folks.

The drunk evangelist…
On the central line on the way home from Westfield shopping centre I encountered a man clutching a can of Stella Artois preaching about Jesus. It wasn’t how he had almost stumbled and lost his balance on the way to his seat which was next to mine (ironically I was praying he wouldn’t sit there). ItContinueContinue reading “The drunk evangelist…”
One last time…
As I watched the final speech of President Barack Obama, my throat couldn’t help but join my eyes in an ensemble of grief and sadness. Having never met the man or stepped foot in American soil I could only admire from a screen as he gave his last address as President. It was emotionally moving. TheContinueContinue reading “One last time…”

In short, absence is 2016. I’ve felt overjoyed seeing friends transition from singleness to married life and have been thrown into sorrow with the wave of deaths in Hollywood.

Perfection…..
The lightness of our conversation was the same as the weather Light, warm, full of banter and changed every 5 minutes All in a day we were connected by vines of music, comics, clothes and whatever I laughed, you laughed, I teared, you cried It was nice Then you called me perfect In that momentContinueContinue reading “Perfection…..”
The Purple Reigned…..
The music world is in mourning this week for so many reasons. First it was Prince, then Billy Paul followed by Papa Wemba. My heart dropped because I knew that a part of music had just left the earth. I remember this feeling when Michael Jackson went away and now I’m holding on to theContinueContinue reading “The Purple Reigned…..”
I keep on falling….
Chasing money till my roots grew old without a pass in the shadows Medullar oblingata my breathe has gone stoccata Into the deep where the river stopped flowing Life stopped for me but it continued for you Was I too selfish to protect me from thee or pretend like we never existed between the thickContinueContinue reading “I keep on falling….”
