Innocent Hugs

Everything flashes back like yesterday
Met u at my friend’s church
U distributed your fatherly hugs around

U had to move in because of the repairs on 3rd mainland
Oh, the multiplier effect of poor infrastructure
U wanted family evenings together –TV, eating, gist et al
But luckily our work wouldn’t let us
U shared the hugs evenly – mine & hers

Saw the way u looked at her
But haba! how can I suspect Mr Deacon
Closer to 50 than 45
‘It can’t be what I’m thinking’
Then she had to travel
Leaving the 2 of us alone

My only worry was your addiction to gist
then .......the reality of the hugs
Couldn’t compare with hers anymore
Is it the Babcock in me that is so uncomfortable?
Ok……..

Then I avoided you and the hugs......
U came & hugged unexpectedly
Then started adding interesting pecks
Confusion bami immediately
Deacon!!!!!!!!!!

Is this still brotherly love?
U are her uncle’s close friend
R u thinking at all????
Or nah my imagination.

I avoided seeing u in d morning or when I got back from work
‘Cos u smartly used morning & night greetings as a platform
Ah ah egbon pastor!
When hug start to last for more than 15 secs
&your hands start to move…….

Ehmm ……I dey squat for someone’s house
I go com tell am say him close friend nah ……………
No be me ooo
Nah pack I dey pack soo
But b4 then, swallow dis sms jo…

Emotional Wahala…….

Emotion left on her own will depreciate someday While alive and in flames it seems as if you’ll be consumed if you don’t express her or the other party doesn’t react in the desired direction. She can bear many children ranging from flings to crushes to outright obsession and sometimes Love. Emotion on her own is healthy and she keeps the engine of relationships running. The kind we speak of in this note is when she ain’t mutual (or seemingly so). Emotion in this context: a state where your blood literally jumps out of your veins at the mention or sight of anything that concerneth the igniting party. Where you wait by your phone literally praying that a call comes in or you refresh your inbox like a gazillion times expecting an unsent message. Truth is, we have no control over these emotions; we don’t solicit for her birth. She just comes upon us suddenly. The only way out is managing her by putting her where she belongs. Oh yes there are solutions even if...

You make me wanna write a poem

I'm sure thoughts of you have crossed my mind a gazillion times in the last 6 days I wonder why! When i met you i began to have a secret crush on you ( i wish i knew how successful i was at the 'secret' bit) then you fell in love. I managed myself & depreciated my crush back to platonic levels. We have done well as platonics and i have always imagined it to remain at that level. All of a sudden thoughts of you begin to flood my mind It scarces me I'm forced to put my thoughts on paper Logically, I dont want anything exceeding platonic levels because going by head sense, you dont strike me as my soul mate Yet, the thoughts keep coming, i dont know what to do with them. I wonder if thoughts of' 'us' have ever crossed your mind. Trust me, i wouldn't sacrifice our friendship for these temporal feelings of mine Hopefully, my soulmate will show up before any 'damage' is done. 'Jan '09
