BEING WITH YOU

-
Like melodious chinks
Words I write come to life on these taut strings
She comes to me,
Like the prophet walking on water
A placid calmness of her aura
The best picture ever
Of the unbroken lines
The borders of her blue waters jazz
Her voice takes me to the heavens and I
Want to be there when she calls
Sweet music from her soft lips release
Flood gates of my most pleasant memories
I crave the feeling
It’s out of this world she makes
The most beautiful artistic theme of my world
And her eye charming like a baby's in my dream irresistible
Her laughter makes me laugh,
I'm blown away like perfumed petals in a gentle Harmattan breeze
Her tears rip my heart apart in excruciating pain
Her affection is a medicine
The only antidote to life's bruises
My baby gives her - all
Her qualities give new meaning to my life
Makes me live yet another day
Her sense of judgment I cherish
A strong aroma like the morning flowers flourish
The sunlight that starts my day
Like emollient
Her hands trace the matrices of my airspace
Raised like Lazarus
Her touch sends sweet electricity through my lands
My earth quakes yet not out of fear
Yet out of love I tremble
Your kiss is a miracle worker
Like magical it is dazzling
And I would die for those, girl
Like my favorite ice cream - her body
I can eat interminably
For her then,
I would tread the coldness of the tundra
and the hot deserts
To gain your sensual borders,
Until I fall into a rift of heavenly pleasure
And then you ride coyly across my breast plate;
Making sweet love
Something divine
An invincible alloy - me and you
I believe us
Our faith true
We laugh and cry together as lovers do
All I am
Being with you.

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID AIR FRESHENER (…best DIY formulations ever)

HOW TO MAKE LIQUID AIR FRESHENER (…best DIY formulations ever) If you’ve ever lived close to a land fill, you can probably tell the volume of rain about to fall just from the poignant moving air that hovers around the land fill and it’s environs. The neighbourhood smells really bad, stale and un -fresh. On the other hand, if you have been to a park to relax especially when the tree flowers are in their blooming season, you might be greeted to a cozy array of fragrances. I particularly love the strong scent of the Frangipani flower. Odours are quite powerful and they sure do much work than science admits currently. In fact, in addition to other senses, humans have survived through the ages by relying on the sense of smell. The senses collect loads of information the brain then processes. Without them, the brain is just an intelligent machine with high potential yet without the necessary external connections, it is useless. We associate odour with everything – the good, th...

A Pill Please II: A Poetic Charge

A Pill Please: A Poetic Charge    The country dailies are a cornucopia of eye-popping, ear-buzzing scandals. “How can I escape from all of these debasements?” I wondered. One day I went down to the end of town, to the most cavernous part as dark as the troubles that bring us to this part. Our powerful medicine man better known as 'baba' gave me a healing portion. The medicine had worn the semblance of super-secret charm. He said ‘it will cure all your troubles.’ and then I went my way. It was unbelievably potent at first. So effective I began functioning like an ancient alarm clock. Numb to my bland daily routine like a zombie, ready for the day. But was I really ready? I still saw the faces of these demons everywhere I turned - On television; in the radio; on the street; at prayer houses; at school; at play and even the labour camp I call work. They taunted me 'til I went from anxious to suicidal. ‘Funny I thought you had the secret weapon?’ One demon sai...

LIVING IN SEXUAL BONDAGE I

The topic of sexual violence still remains largely ignored even in this age. Sadly, like every public health challenge, denial only worsens its menace. It carries patriarchal, misogynist and gender bias undertones. It thus becomes pertinent to acknowledge the scourge of sexual violence in our national and cultural life. The World Health Organization (WHO) describes sex violence as " any sexual act or any attempt to obtain sexual act , unwanted sexual comments or advances , acts to traffic or otherwise directed , against a person's sexuality using coercion by any person regardless of their relationship with the victim in any setting including but not limited to home and work ." The root causes of sexual violence are complex and like many other crimes, it may not be completely explicable or understood by a single factor. However, one of the most underscored factors associated with sexual violence is the subjection of culture. It is noteworthy that the diversity...
