Occasionally...

I've not blogged since forever...been busy actually. But I'll resume soon.

In the meantime, I'd drop these poems for you. Might be posting it occasionally - that's if the writer will be sending them to me.

Although, I'm not good at writing poems, but I appreciate good once when I read them and I'm sure you'd appreciate this too.

Enjoy...

a love
that never ends
begins with friendship
that never melts
firm always will it remain
irrespective of separation or distance

he thanks you
for the good things you said
for the better things you did
for the best times you shared

the flame of love of love
you ignited in him
will keep burning
the vision of you
planted in his brain
still remains
and always will remain
never aging
never fading
cause in you
he once saw love
and in you
he still sees love
(April 2005)
PS: in appreciation of the woman in human


Wisdom of words
there was a lady
i met in Abia
where hunger is
the order of the day

why i had to leave her
only God Almighty knows
for she could turn
stone to bread
and water to wine
but words have no wisdom
when its time
to say goodbye
(7 March 2003)

PS: hunger represents loneliness, stone - boredom, bread - satisfying / fulfilling friendship, water - unusual tranquillity, serenity and wine - merriment, laughter

Why Did I Get Married?

Image
I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’ . Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here. Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’ I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other… Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott) The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he

...For Mama

I feel since this blog is about relationships, writing about my family, friends, colleagues, etc...and expressing my love for them wouldn't be a crime.  Here's a poem for mama, who'll be a year older tomorrow (15th, September). And this poem is dedicated to all the mamas in the world...with love. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dearest Mama, I just write to let you know What's on my mind Bringing me to the world with groans I can imagine what it's like For the seeds of love you've sown You're one of a kind For the toughest times you've known It's fresh in my mind For the times I don't listen to you You love me still And the times that I trouble you You keep loving me Oh! and the times that I fell sick You knew no sleep Or the times that I weep You weep and weep And those times that I'm lost You are on your feet Even at times of failures You believe in me Fo

Love Gives

Image
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave . . . Galatians 2:20: “. . . I live by faith in the Son of God , who loved me and gave Himself for me. Ephesians 5:25: “For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church . He gave up his life for her” Love is only expressed through giving. If there is no giving, there is no evidence that love exists. The only proof of love is giving. Giving is the action that demonstrates love. So, the measure of your giving is the measure of your love. The more you give -- of yourself, your time, your attention, your affection, your patience, your treasure -- the more you love. This is what Jesus meant in John 15:13. John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends. Why did Jesus say there was no greater love than to give your life? Because you can't give any more. That's total commitment! So, whenever you see "love" in a se
