Memoirs from the EaSt

Light maketh light brighter*
That there is my underlying principle

My stay in the east was long and I would have said wasted but there is a twist, like turning South due East.

Productivity Index was at its barest minimum and I mean barest like stark naked. Little or nothing was achieved, except for the wonderful people met and various found loves, leading me right to the one true one.

Choosing friends and acquaintances in a world filled with wolves in sheep's clothing is a very tricky business. Most people in the end will look out for self alone, in the least concerned about who's ox is gored. Find the few that give a f*ck and there you found friends somewhat true.

I found me few and I'm holding on tight.

Chronicles of Legacy

Time flies by so fast & if you snooze, you might just might loose. Its doing the same things differently, giving unique names like precise.

Mary's a steady distraction,
hers is a cause for negligible concern
because once you're eligible & free will kicks in, ur free to mingle.

There's a tingle she gives,
a certain vibe to the exaggerated fuss bout her. Moments spent with her are like wild roller coaster rides & that is one thread out of many in the web engulfing the streets of Moscow.

Each man wears his legacy proud like a Jesus Piece, or like an uncle over protective of his adorable niece.

The Eye Is free spirited,
so that's goes a mile in explaining his easily wavered schedule & immediate priorities. Nonchalance here would be likened to the sledge hammer on the foolhardy fly, not easily perturbed would cut it with this EYE.

ICE just like a dice has got many sides. Some sweet, some misunderstood sour, some unwavering, some egotistical & opinionated. Garish, unlike himself in his mind's eye in the parish*

SOLO's lonesome, like a lone soldier with occasional chats with other officers at the mess. occasionally settles for less, but that ain't one of his defining traits. Classy & reserved, slow to words and I think anger follows shortly.

DEEDS like what he's been coined from wants the keys to the mansion, and is constantly scheming to get it if it isn't already in his possession.

A man of few words that set as dew and expressions like from a captain to his crew. With intelligent reports and foresights, he knows it unless he chooses not to be in the know.

The WORDsmitch let's his peers steer occasionally. Free-spirited & I dare say foolhardy too. A man of few girls, the kinds with beauty that set as the morning dew, all dis in lieu of glories past & a present smitch dat smites deep.

Kwrboi is so far from the truth, it makes his name seem a lie. Has values set in stone, like strong dye to a susceptible cloth. Incorrigible & headstrong go a long way in unraveling his many defining qualities. A quantities man who never gets to do much.

Tongue Lashing

I will tongue lash her till she slowly bleeds
Moisten her soil,
then proceed to bless it with seed

Chief Priest, invoke Gaia,
do the tribal dance to make the earth pulsate
And then like Vulcan make the earth quake...vibrate

Till it erupts and spews hot Lava and fire
my every touch burns leaving traces of desire
Passion flows,
hell...rivers of fire
and I lay her on lusts erected pyre

I will swim her wetness like I was Poseidon
Come up for fresh air,
catch a glimpse of new horizons

Shape shifter,
I'm now Dracula - I suck her
now i'm Zeus,
in flashes of light spectacular - i pluck her

from mortal realms - transfiguration
Now I'm Hades watch her burn - incineration
Reality shifts;
time and space de-xist, senses turn numb
till riding six white horse,
round the mountain...she comes

Sick Nebula
Like her Gardner, I plant Kisses
moisten her fertility
and watch them grow into wild desire

she calls me 'sire'
before she sits on my throbbing throne
I am a god playing with two globes

rhyming with her rhythm
her lips quiver like mild mannerisms
in one season she was the future,
i was the present -- behind her

whispering thrusts and sweet throes as though to remind her of our past
her grips, her grasp, her gasps

we exchange lingua...frankly speaking in tongues
as she took me in like knowledge
i illuminating her with me

i watched as she sang,
took it slow then sank
like quicksand*

*onLy she wuLd compreh'a'nd*

DATEwithDestiny (Dat neVa was)

Ok, we're told we shape our lives with words yeh? I'm going ahead to now to proof that theory right*! Cos of my faith, *NO* is not an option

I'm strolling home 2.49pm*
Checker'd green shirt, dark green shorts...YeA that's me*
Give or take 20mins to go take a shower, get dressed for my date with destiny*

Given present location,
Traffic's a biTcH*...3.33pm BAKER HUGHES, trans-amadi, phc

Corporately dressed in my black pants,
Checker'd white Longsleeved shirt (yeah I knw I've got a thing or two for check)
Plimsolls & Armour (a blackberry, heard it was shared to top managerial staff there)

I'd be quick to find my way to where to submit my application.

#theAftermAth
Couldn't get in, was politely bounced @ the gate. Apparently, applications are submitted on the company's website + I heard from an inside source that didn't sound too sure of herself, that they are done taking interns.

When you've got uR hopes crushed like this, time after time, you tend to loose that zeal & dRive you started with. I'd try keeping the faith, buh pls God I need a Miracle.

They say 'there's no way of knowing, except you try....this is me taking up that statement by its woRds again a second time. Holy spirit pls make all cRooked paths straight & make evrythn soft*

+ moRe

she's evrytn i wntd + more,
hate seein her go out d door

i've bin adviced to thread carefully,
she's as fragile on d inside, as on d exterior...so i hear!

it'd be cliche to say thots ov her mak me smile...i knw i aint frank, but it does!

Lil wonder space & time freeze ova whil we'r havin those midnyt chit chats! up close, i'd lie to myself

knw it might sound silly...but wish i had dat exceptional foresight to knw wen i'm wntd or otherwise

i really lyk dis one,
can I have my 'all weather' charming prowess bak??
tHO i'd lyk nature to take her due course

had me from miles away!
'Lock down' was wen she was all smiles.

neva can 4get dat beautiful green gown,
made me wanna go all d way to town!

right down to specs,
Jst lyk i alwayz had in mind,
infact,she helped perfect my initial hypothesis!

i had painted a pic in my head,
& this was just like a deja vu!

no wonder d protrait was harder to paint,
yu've got to see dis in person...not a with the slightest of taint!

I'd keep adding words day by day,
So nothing wuld scream nay!

i'm not done with this,
not even close....but this up here, incomplete as it is, are but a few of the thots yu plague me with.......

??

my alter ego is growing larger than me,
i anticipated this

but not when i'm totally blotted out

i finally get to be the talk ov town & not heard
not how i pictured it, but nice all the same!!

anyways,
that aint an issue

LeTs move oN

my techniques no longer work,
i think i need an upgrade!

thot i was up to date,
but obviously i aint (my lines no longer work)

i think i'm a lil more than ruff around the edges!

but they say practice makes perfect ryt?
(hope i find the ryt test subjects...Lol!)

Exploring new fields & basically testing the waters!
Hope those two stil go 2geda?

over time i've been fashioned into approx. 50% ov all gurl's spec
so naturally you'd think this shouldn't be hard ryt?

you're Rung oNce again!
(this isn't the first tym ryt?)

thinkn thots (out loud tho')!!!

i've bin tryna wryt for a whyl naw,
but i just culdnt get nutn out!

call it a 'block'
or the numbness caused by all the nothingness i'm seemingly engulfed in!

i'm tired ov the status quo,
anticipating the next phase!

which promises to be fun & visibly productive!

tryn so had not to loose that glow,
the one that kips me goin',

constantly reminded that its all just a phase,
that'll surely pass,

takin' stock ov ma lyf,
so i'd knw if anythin's bin added,
(which shuld be the norm);
& removn' dos ov no value worthsoeva,

seemed hard at first,
but wen yu apply dat exceptional forsight,

yu'd get to see the bigger picture,
...easy to pin point wat doesnt fit in!

more lyk defragmentation,
it gets yu workn' @ optimum capacity!

i knw whr i'm headed,
nnam said i shuld constantly think it,
even if it doesn't look it @ the tym.

dnt nid to explain myself to no one,

impress just the necessary,
trample on the rest if the nid be...

i knw, 'sounds a lil harsh' ryt?
the world rili is!

the earlier that realisation is noted & adhered to, the better!

'48 Laws of Power',
a must rid for evryone.

me tryna wryt imagery!!!

in the 13" x 15" sized room,
ur wonderin' how i knw ryt!

dnt wori, satisfyin ur curiosity aint a biggie, its upholdin' the credibility ov my written words that matter to me!..Lol!

i got to knw wen we bought that nicely patterned brown rug dat fits perfectly!

wiv the bed @ the very center ov the room,
touching one ov the walls, directly beneath the window!
Plus the curtains drapin' just ova it!

shoes scattered in an awkward manner @ one corner ov the room,
forgotn ever since my last trip to town!

whr i was meant to be my sister's date to sum fancy dinner in honor ov Medical 'House officers'
passin' out from their course @ FMC (a small, but lucrative detour on their path to the zenith ov their career as Medical Doctors),
but just lyk in the movies...

i got my dates rung & hence stood my luvin sis up,
a whol day prior to my supposed outing!

yu think its a dirty habit ryt?!
am tryna stop tho' & yu knw hw dat goes

okay,
it all makes sense naw!

the two hangers r both green & whyt,
& the dorchester cigarette pack is a splash ov fine green!
Finer than that ov the hanger tho',
but it doesnt matter...

dont tell me yu dont get it yet??
its 'green - white - green', dumb dumb! Lol!

i've been known to hav a knack for patriOtiSm*

long arguments bout how its not totali the govt's fault,

and how its our combined efforts that'll only get nigeria to wher she shuld be!

anyways thats that for that! Lol! (dumb, i knw!!...maybe i want yu to think i'm stupid!...'i'd suprised yu!', Lol)

my lil bathroom-sized mirror!
yu knw i have a thing for mirrors, ryt?

nyways, just used it to checkout sumtn yu rili dnt wnt to knw bout!

the bigger one,
a wrought ironed 'rili bIG' mirror wiv all 'em swirls on the sides!

lookin' @ it every mornin' wen i wake up , gives me that unphantomable joy!
yu cant understand even if yu tried!




just hrd 'nwa aba' say sumtn!
- 'this lyf na improvement, improvement' -

concise english translation!
- 'may the best ov ur todays be the worst ov ur 2moroS' -
