Apple so red, it made you fall Fall, Fall back into sin I could do worse I can make u sink, sink so fast u forget to blink I desire to be deceptive, you deserve to be receptive Sweep me off my feet? You’ll be off your feet! (Slushhhhhh….) The “Game” is soo tight, but my heart’s always flat My ego! My ego! Taking over my decency I remain mortal, fear-‘less’! Take the back seat No moan-‘ness’, No whine-‘ness’, No fuss-‘ness’ It just glides high, high it’s so wide Its gone with the wind Emotion‘less’ - Fear’less’ - Heart’less’ I can make your heart rock, and make your bed bounce Grant my desires, so I perspire Cos when you no dey my bed, I go make am without you “I dey feel you, I dey love you”, I say it cos you wan hear am Give me your emotions I give you understanding Cloud NINE sipping Be my temporary HIGH So we would FLY Fly high! high into the SKY ~Amina J.

SWEET & SOUR MEMORIES I REMEMBER

| | 9 comments



I remember...
We used to drive many hours by road from Warri to Kaduna for the holidays.
Chasing around the ducks and chickens in the courtyard to make a meal.
The smell of grand ma’s kosai balls and doya (fried yams) in the mornings while waiting for morning devotion to be over so I could indulge.
Dancing in the courtyard with the drummers a day before New Years.
Cooking in a hut with firewood at grandma’s.
Fetching water from the well in the village

Technology has transformed things now. Perhaps knowledge is now available
Hmmm...Sweet Memories

I remember...
Getting grounded all the time, but still managed to get around.
Getting a sweet slap on the back because my lil bro hurt himself while under my care.
Fetching buckets of water on the head, to preserve for later use.
As a child being selective of my friends & what they should look like.
Falling in love so hard that I couldn’t get up the ground
Hmmm...Sweet Memories?

My memories became a moment of sudden revelation...
No matter who you are...
Days go by, people grow, hearts break
Choices come, decisions made, goals crack
Lets keep it stable? Lets keep it sensible? Lets keep it steady?
Naaa, change is woobly
Change is inevitable
Choices have to be made
Decisions show signs of growth

My memories has created the platform for my future
The choices I make has set the path in my present
With my ability to discern right from wrong
...The right choices will be made & my future guaranteed.
