Mortal angels, true friends -Are You One?

10 Aug

There are angels in our lives, without halos on their heads, without wings on their backs, but with enough good intentions for us to last a lifetime. They live people, and if we scrolled through our contacts carefully enough, we might chance upon a name or two. If we spared the time to ponder, their selfless deeds will scream at us, and we’ll feel our unworthiness at having such people in our lives. If the only unbelievably awesome person you know is a character in a soap opera, how lonely you must be. If you know no such person, I’m sad for you.

If life was a free fall, mortal angels would be the parachutes. If life was a dry fast, they’d be the breakfast. If life was a string of humongous unfamiliar words, they’d be the dictionary to it. If life was a journey to the 900th floor, they’d be the elevator. If life was a large chunk of meat, they’d be the spice and sauce that simmer it to scrumptiousness. If life was a hard wooden bench, they’d be the cushions that turn it into a comfy sofa.

A Costly Inability-for the emotionally lazy.

05 Nov

I wasn’t gonna put up any post this week, but when this baby came out of the oven yesternight, I knew I couldn’t wait till next week, to share it with you.  

I know too many people who hurt so much because someone they love in a beautiful way doesn’t know how to express his care well enough.It might be because he’s really a jerk, but it could also be that he has trouble speaking the language of “I got your back”.  

I know people who hurt even more because they’re unable to return the love they know is felt for them in the way that’s expected of them. Not just amorous…platonic too.  

But how can you be there for people when you have no idea where there is? You try, you really do but being there, as in like being there when it matters the most…uuhhh it’s so hard dotting that ‘i’…well if you fit in either page of the book, you might enjoy this piece.  

A Costly Inability   

You’re flooded with such strong emotions,  

But how can I help you carry them  

When I’ve made bastards out of mine?  

How can I be there for you  

When I dunno where there is? Read the rest of this entry »

Guest Contributer Nana Oye Odame: Friendship

05 Oct

If you haven’t gotten to the point where you can say that much of who you are now, what you stand for, and what you aspire to be has a lot to do with your friends,  then maybe that’s why you are so lonely! Lol (j/k), but my point is; given how integral our friends are to our wellbeing, it’s only right that we celebrate them from time to time.

That’s exactly what Nana Oye does here in this beautiful piece of poetry. This poem eloquently celebrates the enduring friendships we’ve made over the years. She originally wrote it for a dear friend of hers, and then dedicated it to the rest of us :-) . You can check out some of her other great works at; http://etoileoye.blogspot.com/

So cheers to all my/our friends, cheers to you!

 Friendship

If friendship was some rare exotic flower
That had to be kept in a green house to grow
And kept at a suitable temperature all the time
Else it would wither and die
I wonder how long we would have lasted

The Price Of An Erection. Part II.still rated 28

27 Jul

Guy 2 (laughing heartily) “ Honestly man, I didn’t know you could go through such rubbish and still smell so good, anyways, allow me to steal the show and tell you how much an erection(s) actually cost.

Y’all know I got a scholarship to do my masters in Economics in Kenya, I got that scholarship with 7 other people, 4 of whom were girls, 1 of whom was Sabina, the one because of whom the thought of sex doesn’t even turn me on anymore.

There was something about how my father warned me of how such trips bring unforeseen children that I should have taken more seriously. Back then, I thought he was saying that because of the mistakes he had made that now makes me a brother to four other boys from two women other than my mother. But now that I think about it, it’s like it had been revealed to him.

AN ANGEL I USED TO KNOW.

30 Mar

Back in JHS, there was this girl I was close to, verrryy close, even crushed on her small. Then we completed and dint meet for a while, then when we started communicating some time later, she seemed soo different, so distant. We couldn’t click like we used to, it was like the chemistry b/n us had been drained of its chemicals…was saddened, so I wrote this…

An angel I used to know

I look into the past

As if it was a mirror,

I stare in terror

At the angel I used to know Read the rest of this entry »
