My Shayla.❤️🫂

Can I still stop myself when
you're on my mind—24/7,
steadily yet lovingly
sweeping me off my feet?

Can I still stop myself when
your cologne is all it takes to
render me smitten?

Can I still stop myself from
this relentless whirlwind of a
rollercoaster of love, ever-burning?

Can I still stop myself when
you are to me, a ray of hope showing
up on those hopeless days of mine?

My Shayla,
can I ever stop myself when all
you've ever done and will do is
complete and complement me this much?

Happy Valentine's.❤️

Gift That Keeps Giving.

In the midst of the lovely chaos
of this day,I possess a treasure.
A gift that keeps giving bounties,
regardless of time and seasons.
What treasure trove of love!🥺

And when you ask me, "what gift"?😏
I tell you the gift of love, of life,
of salvation,of forgiveness,of health,
of wealth, of dominion— that
transcends human understanding,
what an endless list!

Jesus Christ is that rare gift which
gives a sense of belonging and
keeps giving me perfect gifts, every
second of my life.❤️🫂

Merry Christmas.❤️🥳

A Soft Rebellion.

The old adage whispers: beauty's value
is measured by the beholder's gaze—
where worth is often defined, but
I defy and offer a gentle refrain;
Beauty's truth is inward—where love
and self entwine.

We are the curators of our beauty;
our self-worth unshaken, a beacon
shining bright—no external voice can define!
Our inherent beauty is one born
out of self-love each day.

Written In The Sand.

*¹Sade *²mi ọwọn,
I thought you meant it the whole time
you said that love was created for us
but why does it seem like
it was for our planned destruction,
no hesitation or reservation?

*³Orente mi,
I thought you meant it the whole time
you said that my name was engraved
on the tablet of your heart but why
does it feel like we never met?

How can you just throw our love away,
like a petal dropped by the wind?
There I was thinking our love was a
flame that would burn so bright but now,
it's just a memory, a fleeting light.
Perhaps, I was only written
in the sand—back at the beach; a
temporary mark, a moment's stand.

*¹A female name among the Yoruba ethnicity
*² My darling
*³ My companion

Forever mine.🤭

My love,
meeting you has awakened a
deeper love within me—for myself,
and for the life we share.

Knowing you're mine is a
great relief which only fills
my heart with joy and I'm grateful
for the gift of you.❤️

Bridging the gap

We've just had a heated conversation—
or, rather, an argument. Beads of sweat
form on my face and chest. She weeps,
tears flowing like a river, and asks,
"Why don't we understand each other?"

I reply, "We're two people with different
personalities, but we'll work on ourselves,
okay? I'm sorry if I made you feel bad."
I know, in that moment, it's the best reply.

"I'm sorry too," she says, her smile
erasing the tears, like the sun breaking
through the clouds. Her expression, once
anguished, now radiates a gentle warmth.
And then, she closes the distance between us.

Not-so-little Humans.

Siblings,
a tangled mess of love—and strife.
One minute apart... the next, a shared life.
In the chaos, we find our rhythm and beat,
a bond, though so strong yet fragile,
is uniquely sweet.

Gum-bodi moments, laughter, and tears,
a kaleidoscope of memories
through the years.
For these ones— my favorite
not-so-little humans,
I would ~die~ live for.
