Poetic Thursdays: Can't help thinking of you

Hey people,i hope the week has been as fruitful for you as it has been for me? A lot's been happening and is still happening and i can only be grateful to God for His mercies.

As it is the tradition of the blog,here's your weekly dose of poem.Today's poem is quite old.Wrote it since 2010.I want to dedicate it to the angel of my life Becqui *in Paul Play's voice*

CAN’T HELP THINKING OF YOU

Whether in the night

Or during the day

Whether in my weariness

Or my laziness

Whether in my confusion

Or running around for bread

Whether I’m just sitting

Or walking around

Or laying down

Whether I planned to

Or I planned not to

Whether in my happy state

Or in my sad state

Whether in the midst of people

Or in a corner by myself

I just can’t help thinking of you

My senses function better with thoughts of you

My angel

This man is in love with you

Poetic Thursdays: Guardian of my thoughts

Hey people,i trust you're doing great.As for me,i'm back to my complete awesome greatness. I've been very busy lately with work and also i've been travelling alot. On one of my trips,i had the pleasure of hooking up with Tamie's who for some reason decided to run away from Port Harcourt.We actually had lots of fun and she referred me to a very cool hotel where i lodged.And nope,she didn't lodge stay with me cos she prolly would've gotten pregnant and i know Becqui would be heartbroken. Hehehehehe Abeg na play i is o!!!

Anyway,today's poem was inspired by my advocate for awareness of the potency of the mind.Read,comment and share if you will.

Guardian Of My Thoughts

Deep in the corridors of your heart

Lies love or hate or pain or fear

They always walk in slowly

Precisely

Not necessarily confidently

But are encouraged by you

Your ears

Your eyes

Your heart

Your thoughts are windows

Windows that lead to the corridors

I'd put a legion on guard

To guard all the windows to that corridor

To guard my thoughts

I know something would always be sitting at the end of the corridor

And i know what i don't want sitting there

Poetic Thoughts: If i think of you

Hey people,this poem is dedicated to someone you all know,Becqui.She's really amazing.

If I Think Of You

Yesterday i thought of you

Mumbling in your sleep

Making me chuckle faintly while men slept

Turning to dig your way into my arms

Breathing softly like a new born

And somehow making the world unbelievably beautiful

Howbeit for just a few hours

Today isn't any different

Thoughts of you travelling freely in my head

Clearly without need for tickets

Making me grin like a school boy

And i can swear the world was perfect for a few minutes

Tomorrow would be just the same

I'll smile broadly

Like an insane man

See the world as perfect

Get filled without eating

And thank heaven for you

Because i'll think about you

The world is perfect when i think about you

Howbeit for a few minutes

Or even seconds

The world is just prefect

Beggers everywhere

Hey people,i told you i won't be gone for long and you can see i'm keeping my promise.

I'm actually upset about something and i want to share with you cos i am almost certain some of you are as upset with the issue as i am.The other day,i was travelling to Abuja for my friend's wedding and i had a funny encounter with an immigration officer,a lady,at the airport.If you're a regular flyer then you'd know that they don't allow perfumes,body sprays etc on board any aircraft.I knew this actually,but i was just wondering how i'd travel without my perfume and to consider buying another when i get to Abuja was out of the question cos i was already spending alot on the journey.So,i just tried my luck and was happy and upset at thesame time.The woman checked my hand luggage,which was all i was travelling with then,and saw the cologne.
"Oga,you know you're not allowed to travel with this,but i'll just allow you."
I said "Thank you" and what she said next made me cringe "Oya find me something".I responded that i'd do that next time and left.I was quite upset cos i know what i was doing wasn't right but she allowed me by asking for peanut.A few days ago,i went to LG to get a small home theater for my boss's office.I got to the cashier,paid her for what  bought and the next thing she said got me really sad."Oga bless me na".What?! After paying for what i bought i should what? I told her next time and left.The guy that carried the home theater to the car also asked to be 'rogered' when he put the ware in the boot.I gave him a fine tip cos somehow i felt like it and he somehow worked for it.There's this fastfood,Kilimanjaro,that is close to my office and i go there regularly.The security men will always try to make you 'roger' them.Same goes to some banks i visit,the security guys will always want you to tip them.This is so sad.When did we turn to a country of beggers?!

As if that's not bad enough,you go to see some people in their offices and the security men would always want something before they let you see who you want to see.You go to government offices to see some bosses and their workers won't want to attend to you unless you give them some money.You win a contract and some groups won't want the payment to drop until you give them their 'cut'.The situation is really annoying and troubling.So now we're a bunch of beggers? A country full of beggers?

Poetic Thurdays: Lost

Hey people,i know it's been a very long time and i've never left you like this without a reason.Well,i still didn't leave without a reason.It's been a rough couple of weeks,coupled with work and all.Plus,I've been travelling alot lately for official duties and time is a little scarce for me.However,i'm here now and would try not to disappear again.

It's another Thursday and i'm going to give you the Thursday dose of poem.This one is titled Lost and is completely about me.Enjoy and please drop your comments as usual.

LOST

I'm rooted to a spot

The sun very hard on my back

It's light a challenge to my eyes

To my left

To my right

To my left again

To my right again

Nothing

Nothing

I won't call out

This isn't a dream

It is real

I'm lost

Should i walk?

Should i stay rooted on this spot?

Either way someone might find me

Someone should find me

Cos i'm lost in the middle of nowhere

I am lost

Lost

Poetic Thurdays: In your presence

This poem was written sometime in th 2010 and i want to share it with you.Let me hear your thoughts on it.

IN YOUR PRESENCE

I'm helpless in your arms

Lost in your smile

I drown in your eyes

Weak in the knees from your kisses

I melt like a candle wax in your touches

My body shivers from d sound of your voice

I simply turn to water in your presence

Calm

Pellucid

And take any shape you want me to

Try doing it differently

Hey people,i know i've been away for a short while,but you know i could never stay away from you for long.I've been very lazy to blog and i decided to change that.Hope you've all been great?

For those who criticize pastors saying they live big on their church members' tithes and offerings and all,i want to ask you something; did the church members complain to you? People make sacrifices to their God and get results,you shouldn't give yourself unnecessary headaches concerning that.That brings me to the aim of this post,doing things in a different way.

Lots of times we're like mad people,doing things the same way and expecting different results.That isn't how life was fashioned.Different things have their different results.So,if you do something,you get a particular result,but to get a different result means you have to do a different thing.I know you feel being spiritual is overrated.But you've been 'un-spiritual' for so long and it's not helping,why not try being spiritual? I know,as a student,you've tried reading only when it's very close to the exam,why not try reading months before the exam? If you're working and you feel you're not getting what you anticipated,try changing the way you do things.Try being more serious with your job,try loving it or maybe even change it entirely.If you're not happy with the way things are in your relationship,try changing the way you do things in the relationship or generally change the relationship.The thing is,different results can only happen when things are done differently.As a gurl,you complain alot about guys only wanting to sleep with you.Maybe you need to visit how you dress or how you relate with men.I leave you with this; if you want to have what you've never had,you must first do what you've never done.
