IMPERFECT ME

I might not be the best you know


But please give me a chance to grow
If in my steps I sometimes fail
It doesn't mean my boat will no longer sail

So let your words to me be frail
Not in their depths, but in their tone
For this heart of mine, you cannot clone
So don't break it please, this is my plea

I try my best, if only you'd see
Am putting my best into all my deeds
I wish you'll take me in, tell me its okay
And watch me grow, I can't do it in a day

Love me as me...this much I pray
Take the time out....by my side stay
Then maybe I'll become the best you want
And make you proud of me to flaunt

Hold my hands, and let's together count
Our successes and failures, our hopes and dreams
I come to you as the imperfect me
But teach me, and we could build a perfect me.

::: YGH... duffing my hat for while i bend down to kiss ur feet* Thinking of a duet 'MI&Tiwa savage - Imperfect Me' hmmm, the best song of the year with the best lyrical content. Great lines with in depth expressions: "For this heart of mine, you cannot clone
So don't break it please, this is my plea
I wish you'll take me in, tell me its okay
Love me as me...this much I pray

My Daily Bread

The body of a goddess...that's how I thought of her. With shoulders slightly broad; making you think of just the right amount of comfort, narrowing down to her waist...the tiniest I had ever seen....then the roundness of her buttocks, with a firmness that made you want to grab them hard. Watching her undress was pleasurable, caressing every part of her with my eyes, taking time to linger on all the right places...a goddess amongst men. She stepped into the bathroom, leaving me eagerly waiting for her reappearance. I wanted to have her now...I shifted to ease the pain throbbing in the bulge between my legs. I waited patiently for her return...longest moments of my life. Ah!!! there she was. I felt like prancing on her like a Lion on heat, but I had to wait...I knew I had to wait. I did not want to scare her off, that's why I had to be discreet - even while watching her. I looked at my time; 6.25am - it was almost time, five more minutes and he would be gone. I had watched them...

Impacting your world...

Just yesterday night I was watching CNN Heroes and I saw so many young people with great potential of their own who have so few opportunities to explore or express it. Still, they bravely persist in striving to make their mark on the world, even in contexts of deprivation and conflict. In the course of our lives we have the opportunity to meet and possibly interact with people who’ve made measurable impact in the world, including well-known experts, authors, researchers, journalists, scientists, innovators, business geniuses, and entrepreneurs. Yet among these world influencers are also everyday people who have found a special niche in which they’ve contributed at the highest level. It’s critical to note that people who’ve made a real difference aren’t all privileged, advantaged or “special” people. Many have come from disadvantaged families, and crushing circumstances, but have found ways to pick themselves up and rise above their circumstances (and their genes) to transform their o...

The Acknowledgement

Like from a distance, I could hear my mother’s cry…more like wailings. She sounded like a wounded lion that was going to scream her heart out, as she repeatedly screamed my name… Adeola! Adeola! Adeola!! Unshaken I stood there staring at the body of my father….or at least the man who used to be my father, until a few minutes ago. I willed myself back to the room and the activity around me…the lifeless body of my father lay on the bed, with a knife poking out of his chest. The crimson color of his blood gradually taking over the once ash colored pajamas he wore. I had just stabbed my father in the chest…with a force ad precision that left no room for his survival. ******************************************************************************** The sound of the bell rang through the long corridors signifying the time for counseling sessions. Reluctantly I got up from my bed, dragging through the process of wearing my flops and throwing my shirt on. Buttoning up with the speed of a...
