The week started rather anxiously waiting for what I thought was the job that was going to bring me back into employment. You see, I haven’t been interviewed in over 5 years I believe and the interview at the time was an internal process so I was more than prepared. This time around, I wasContinueContinue reading “So I failed an Interview….”

The Nesting Ground
As I recline into the nesting ground of my thoughts My eyes evade retiring for the night. It wonders and longs to be seduced by the blue lights under the covers as my ears perk at the passing sirens still parading while the city sleeps. If I could cradle and swing my scattered mind to sleep,ContinueContinue reading “The Nesting Ground”
I’m not superhuman and it’s ok
Not all superheroes wear capes, but every superhero has a duel identity living a normal life. I was trapped in a cycle of people pleasing, giving to people and the organisation but I was left empty and depleted mentally, emotionally and financially. This day marks 18 weeks since I left my job of 7 yearsContinueContinue reading “I’m not superhuman and it’s ok”
Light…
The day the devil forgot his armour he met a warrior, She was clothed in righteousness and cleansed by the blood of the lamb She bore the whole armour, helmet, sword, breastplate, belt, sandals The demon appeared on a train, eyes pierced and transfixed on her He tried to overthrow her stand He presented his cards ofContinueContinue reading “Light…”
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…”
2016 in summary…
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. I’ve also met some incredible artists in the music world including William Bell, Dobet Gnahore and the Roy Hargrove Quintet, could 2016 be as random as my posts,ContinueContinue reading “2016 in summary…”

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…..”
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….”
Let it burn…..
I have succumb to the bug that is…….the burn out. I confess I am a workaholic, perfectionist and proudly idealistic in my thinking. I want to save the world everyday but the only thing is that I am one person. In the space of trying to prove my worth I have done the unspeakable andContinueContinue reading “Let it burn…..”

Safety in the zone…..
We all have that place that we can all escape to. Where everything makes sense and you’re always right even when you know you’re wrong. A perfect home for a person who is contempt with what they have and would not change it. We house all our secrets, thoughts, personalities……The safe place that is calledContinueContinue reading “Safety in the zone…..”
