Well, it's because I've been saddled with this task Of abandoning my way And doing things God's way Before you think or say anything Let me let you know that THAT is easier said than done I … Continue reading Will I Trust You now?
Photo credit: Reddit A good friend of mine posted this picture on his WhatsApp status and threw a challenge to his fellow poets to describe this serene scene. I took him up on it: Arched back basking in the glow of sunlight, Parched throat comforted with the taste of something sweet Wishfully thinking and relaxing … Continue reading Free Versing

Death has a way of making us see things from a 180° spun perspective. Nobody is prepared for it. Ever. One moment our loved ones are here with us, the next they're gone away to some form of eternal paradise. The condolences flow in and our beliefs are jilted. Still, we hold on to the … Continue reading How Will You Be Remembered?
I am sat here and stand alone In the confines of my hollow soul You were to make all things right Colour my black & white days But it did not work out that way Needless for me to say "It's not you, it's me..."

I lost a very dear friend last week. Lord knows I'm still hurting. Nobody has a surefire written script as to how to deal with the raw pain of losing a loved one. So I channeled my grief into this writing. This piece was penned for one friend, now it's being posted for another. Ben … Continue reading Another One Bites the Dust
Been too long, I know. I hope I'm forgiven. Actually had this written the next morning, following the incomprehensible but impressive turnaround of a match at Camp Nou on Wednesday night. Enjoy this read. Gracia!! "The Miracle at the Camp Nou". That would be the appropriate headline for this story but scratch that. Last I … Continue reading FORÇA BARÇA
I have risen high above myself, I have set my eyes on things ephemeral, I have come crushing down, Hard. Now I can't pick myself up with renown. I've missed the pace, Strayed off into space And now I don't know which race, That I'm supposed to face.
