Mahogany

One night on a joyous occasion while in the mist of a celebration. 
I gazed upon Mahogany. 
Her dark chocolate brown skin and pearl white teeth, 
radiated her beauty under the light of the moon and stars. 
Her round chin and high cheeks characterised her uniqueness.

While talking to her, I learned of her hurt and pain.
I knew at that point we shared the same.
Two people brought together by an unknown twist of fate.
Not knowing their futures and not willing to wait.

A woman so brown, beautiful, slender and sweet.
The essence of her radiance I wanted to keep.
We talked and listened, and wondered if this could last.
I pulled her close to me and felt her as she gasped.

I looked her in the eyes and asked, are you a dream come true?
She gently pulled my face towards hers and said, I am if you want me to.
The light of the moon danced off her Mahogany skin.
I kissed her long and slowly, she pulled away and grinned.

Do not tease me for my search has been long.
I have scoured the earth singing the same old song.
A song of loneliness and hope that I would someday meet.
A woman so fine and beautiful to keep.

Her aura was bold and splendour, a joyous sight to behold.
I have only heard tales of this and stories that were told.
Could you be a dream that has come into my life?
Is this my reward for living a life that wasn't quite right?

Right in the way of love and relationships that never would unfold.
Relationship that left me empty and feeling rather cold.
It began to rain and I started to wake up.
I looked around to see her and knocked over a coffee cup.

At that point I realised it was just a vision of you.
I tried to relive the moment, but felt this wouldn't do.
So once again here I sit, feeling all alone.
Wondering, daydreaming and wishing you would come home.

Come home to me in my dreams and satisfy my needs.
Come to me and keep me warm and safe in your embrace.
Let me feel the love and smile showing on your face.
I'm calling for you and thinking about you,

I know you feel it too.
Until that day comes I will hold you in my heart.
Then the loneliness will stop dogging me,
I will have my Mahogany.

The Future Is Awesome

Future Uche: Hey, I’m you from the future!

Past Uche: Really?? Do I have lots of friends??

Future Uche: Two really good ones.

Past Uche: No more naps though, right?

Future Uche: Way more naps.

Past Uche: Am I at least rich?!

Future Uche: I’m actually here to ask if you have 1k to spare…

Abuse in a relationship

It starts off with him telling you not to look at other guys when you’re with him because it’s disrespectful. He will make you feel like chivalry is a chore or something he does to mould your impression about him but it’s not genuine. Then he’ll have a problem with you interacting with other men, even if it’s a sales man. Any eye contact made by another man will be your fault. He will start telling you how to dress and that you should cover up, even though he spends his spare time liking pictures of half naked women online and entertaining them. He will belittle your words, your opinions and silent your thoughts. He will make your accomplishments seem small. You will find yourself walking on egg shells just to avoid offending him. Anytime you have an argument or question his behaviour, he will call you ugly and insecure, worthless and claim that no other man would want you.

And then he will apologise with empty promises and act like everything is perfect. 

Don’t accept his apology. 

He’ll never change. 

This is not okay. 

Leave.

In an ideal world

“Cartoons? Isn’t that for kids?” I look up and smile “ Yes it is” Suddenly my appearance shifts and shrinks as I become a child. All my money turns to monopoly money and all my bills are gone. My adult responsibilities vanish, finally the spell is broken, and I am free.

Just thought I'd share...

What I've learned is that if you’re going to engage in a romantic relationship during your young adult years, it damn well better be with someone who makes your insides explode with nothing but positive emotion. Someone who takes the time to be kind, patient and understanding, more often than not, and who is as warm with their words as they are with their touch. Life is too short to be focused on people who do not have your growth and best interest in mind. The right person will love you in a way that makes you feel completely free and accepted within your own skin. They won’t attempt to hinder your development out of fear or insecurity that your new experiences might lead you into the arms of someone else. Good lovers will desire to see your personal success just as much as you do, and they will support and respect your decisions. Stay away from people who make you feel guilty about desiring the best for yourself. They don’t love you for you; they love you for what you can provide for them. And that is not love.

i thought this was gonna be uplifting and inspiring
