What is one word that describes you?
The word I feel describes me perfectly is astute. What does astute mean?
Having or showing an ability to notice and understand things clearly: mentally sharp or clever.
If anything, I am an extremely clever human being. This doesn’t mean I’m proud or so full of myself. I am only answering a prompt and saying the truth as I see it.
What was the best compliment you’ve received?
Hmm, interesting prompt!
I will pick a review of one of my short stories as the best compliment I’ve ever received. The story is titled Firefly.
In her words (she identifies as a female), she said “you need to see a psychiatrist, because this is too dark to be fiction”.
What. A. Compliment.
For my writing to generate such an amount of fear and uncertainty in a person is a compliment to me.
To my dedicated readers,
I say hello.
And to my new readers,
I say welcome.
Being a while since I dropped here,
Life has been unfair,
Can’t complain, but that’s why we call it Life.
The romance I always write about has been abolished from my heart.
The pain I write about has suppressed all feelings of hope.
The older we grow, the more difficult it becomes
But we have to move on and continue to struggle
To fight!
To move!
To wake up and keep the cycle going.
Hello You, after every hardship comes ease.

Hey there, my wonderful friends!
I hope you’re all doing great! I wanted to take a moment to apologize for not being as active on this platform as I used to be. But don’t worry, there’s a good reason behind it! I’ve been diligently working on something special that I’m excited to share with you all.
Guess what? I’m in the process of putting together an incredible anthology! It will feature the most beloved poems from my blog, carefully selected with the help of your support, comments, and likes. Without you, none of this would be possible!
Now, here’s where I need your continued support. I plan to publish this anthology on Amazon and to add an extra sprinkle of delight, I aim to release it on my upcoming birthday! It would mean the world to me if you could join me on this journey by checking out and grabbing a copy of my anthology.
Your encouragement and companionship have been invaluable throughout my blogging adventure, and I feel incredibly grateful for every one of you. Together, let’s celebrate the power of poetry and embark on this exciting next chapter!
Thank you in advance for your unwavering support. I’m truly excited about this project and can’t wait to share it with all of you. Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s make this anthology a beautiful tribute to our shared love for words.

If her story had been perfect,
She won’t be here today.
And if his story had been any different,
He would have taken a different way.
All the pains, the hurt, and the heart breaks ;
All led to the his moment.
Right here,
Right now.
The road was full of hate, regrets, laughter and fake love;
Lovers turned strangers and strangers became lovers;
Every other person left you, and some you dumped;
Every other lady left me, and some became estranged;
We’ve loved, and we’ve lost.
But little did we know!
Little did I know what was brewing,
The light at the end of the tunnel is you;
The calm after the storm is you;
The promised land is you;
You’re my today and tomorrow;
And you’re my present and future!
I love you so much Sunshine!
Just like the earth revolves round the sun,
My existence revolves around you.
The birth of a new day brings hope,
It births the hope of eternal love;
My everlasting love for you renews daily.
When the dark brings fear, sadness and uncertainty,
Your love keeps me awash in its glow,
Protecting me,
Saving me from depressing tendencies.
Keeping me warm in the cold of the night!
When the night is at the darkest,
The moon of your affection claims the horizon,
Bathing me in a reflecting of calm,
Promising me a dawn full of enlightenment.
Even when all seem lost, you and I are forever!
Stuck in my head,
Like a piece of meat hidden in my teeth.
Stuck in my mind,
Like the beginning of constipation.
Difficulties upon difficulties plague me,
Ravaging seas and churning storms.
I’ll enjoy this tumultuous times while it lasts.
All things being equal,
You’re always mine.
Never for a moment,
Doubt my dedication to you.
I might be knocking on the doors of disaster,
But stuck with you, I always will.
You’re stuck in my head,
Like that elusive piece of meat!

She won’t be here today.

I love you so much Sunshine!
To a special human,
Born on the eleventh moon,
A native of the rocky village,
But bred and tutored in the land of the brown roofs.
Born in the South,
And schooled in the North,
She’s a true daughter of the soil.
Happy birthday my wonderful friend, sister;
confidant, colleague, business partner;
gist sharer, smart talker and my twin sister.
I love you like the moon does the sun,
And I wish you the very best of this year,
And the next,
And the next,
From now till forever!
I pray that the Lord Almighty grant you all your heart desires.
I pray that the Lord Almighty perfect your life, marriage, career, and family.
Happy birthday Oreoluwa Oyinloluwa.
