Chronicles of an IJGB: an eventful weekend

Friday was a quiet day. It was public holiday, we had fuel, but no one else did. There was no where to go! 😫😫
That and we were so tired!! 

By we I mean my beautiful friend Teni. She's actually my oldest friend. 15 years and counting. 

Enough of that dull night! Fast forward to Saturday! 

First Saturday rocks.

As Lagos has it, every Saturday presents a wedding so #WEMOVE!!!

Chronicles of an IJGB: Humble beginnings.

It's official guys, I'm an IJGB. The worst part of this coined term is that I struggle to actually say the dumb thing. I've bitten my gums twice already. Sent the house girl to get bonjela because I know that won't be the last time. 

I was just gonna keep my journal/diary about this experience, but a good friend (Shoutout to Lanre) gassed me to blog about it. Apparently, some of you will be interested. So I will entertain you with as much as I can, from random stories to encounters with Nigerian men and the popularly slandered Yoruba boys, Angry drivers and the lot of it But let's start with the basics...

From these lips…

Long time no speak. Here's a newish post for you. 



From these lips come a gentle smile.
That hides lies and truth!
That covers up the scars and wounds
Of pain and words uncouth.
A smirk, if you please,
But it’s the same response to a call of mushiness.
My smile means a lot to me.
But to you it’s what you make it to be.

From these lips come words of passion,
That represent my heart.
They speak of interest and things I love,
Turning speaking to an art.
A rude tongue, some might say.
But in response to your words they are a gateway
To understand what’s in my head
But it’s up to you to hear what you want instead.

From these lips come a quiver,
Of fear, nerves and anxiety.
hen the mood negates and shadows creep
the two layers shake beyond me.
I've no control over their movement
Nor the speed at which it occurs. 
Besides an unnoticed motion far surpasses
confused words and jumbled slurs.

From these lips come a sound
that choses different tonations
And accents and melody, and speed and volume
All representing different inclinations.
But all in their own way
Transgress a sound of music
Smooth and soft to thy ear
To cure the the noise of the world.

From these lips come the actions of lust
That burning desire within.
They yearn for your taste and return the favour
Of pleasure, passion and sin.
A foul instrument, you might call it.
But it bring pleasure for a moment or too
And I’ll sound my fulfilment,
When you satisfy and hope you do so too.
From these lips come …

Questions about love?

Hello... is this thing on? Uhm CAN EVERYONE HEAR ME?! OH, I'm shouting!!??

Sorry... but well... I'M BACK!!!!

No applause? Oh... okay.

Yeah... Now all that awkward energy is out... Happy New month!! Yes it's 5 day's in... but IDC. So I took a little break from writing. As you know, I LOVE feedback, and the past few months have been amazing in terms of feedback. However, one thing was consistent... I only write about love. Now, while that's a lie... There's truth in it, in that a lot of my work centres around it. So I took a break to pump my creative juices elsewhere, but it didn't work. For over a month, nothing. So I'm back with an old piece a love bout. It's never been posted, but it's all I know about love. In the meantime, watch out... I'm back.

I'm excited about this one because theres an audio of it to, to a VERY famous instrumental.
Enjoy. x
