It’s the weighted chest pain

That’s hardest to explain 

The interwoven, the lingering

It spins a web across every day

It’s the fog you learn to see through

Because you can’t get away 

Never the needle in your eye

The thorn in your side

It’s the routine of soft pain 

The clingy sting for life 

It’s the dull ache

Freedom, but on a leash

Your mother's kiss with tee...

Life has a way of revealing who we are and who we are not. The beauty is that we discover these truths through our relationships. Good, bad, or indifferent, our connections shape our personalities, habits, and core beliefs. Friendships test and refine these foundations, challenging us to grow in ways we never expected.

Marriage is a different experience. The stakes are higher, the truths more i...

First of all

Praise Black Jesus for the chocolate thunderstorm that drenched you.

You parked your car next to mine

 And I took it as a sign that we should be next to each other

Lets exchange the formality of hands...

And anxiety, an egg in my throat 

A sickness that spreads

It always gives back 

Feeding its...

You barely uttered “ I love you”  on your way out,

And I hardly call that a kiss, we only skimmed each other’s lips,

Whenever I upset you, does a piece of me in you break off until there’s nothing left? 

Did your words "I'll always be yours" lose its meaning over a spat?

When tempers flare and voices rise,
It’s wise to breathe, not moralise.
A quiet word can cool the flame,
While shouting only spreads the blame.

If rumours swirl and trust is thin,
Let honesty speak from within.
Your name is worth more th...

Green leaves gently sway,
before senescence sets in,
ask them how they feel.
