The thing about her isn’t that she’s traditionally beautiful. It’s not that she’s so hot you lose your mind and self control because you can’t take your eyes off her face. It’s that she takes you over. She consumes your senses with her delectable clean scent, her whisper-light touch…
I feel you with every sunrise
I taste you in every flavor
I see you in every sight
I sense you in every touch
I smell you in every scent
Could it have all been a dream?
Words,
I loosely spoke to you.
Timeless were the moments spent.

December 28, 2017.
I have just arrived at a Ghanian store in Dusseldorf, of Kraftwerk fame.
Unknown city and its strange currencies. Suddenly, the boom box plays on.
When I was 15 during my confirmation classes that’s when I encountered my God and realised how much he loves me.
He’s my protector, my friend, my saviour, my best friend and the reason I say all this is because I have experienced his mighty mighty love for me.

The many times we have walked together
Yes I have looked in those eyes when I knew better
I have listened to your sweet sweet voice when I should have covered my ears

Fourth Letter, January 16
Dear Berlin,
I wake up to snow this morning, my dear. It isn’t that perfect, soundless white blanket that makes everything feel fresh. It’s the sound of cars driving on wet roads, gray slush, crunching and still exhilarating, and yes, of course I make a snowball.
It All Leads To Greatness
I am much agreeing with you about the dogs and humans behaviours Ivana.
Do you ever wonder that our lives are so much more than the four walls we are currently sitting in? That the possibilities don’t end at the door, underneath the ceilings, bound and confined by the floors?

“Je t’aime! What does it mean in English?” I asked my French 101 professor as I read the sentence out loud from the textbook. My professor looked up from his laptop screen, paused for a second and smiled: “It means I love you!” and he added, with a hand on his chest: “Those words always strike me whenever I hear them.”
The sky turned green with scrolling hills for clouds
and pirouettes of wind. You invited
me to your teal-bruised home, with her, so proud
of your mustered pleasantries. But instead
The boy who made A simple incision Above his heartWith the inkyBlade of a penStuck a razor Inside,And who moved his hand Like a blenderLived to tellThe tale ofThe girl down His block,Who swore She’d be beautiful,
The girl who tied Roses around her Tongue in hopesTo taste no evilBled to death With thorns In her teeth.
I used to be afraidOf eyes deep and fierce, Frightened that if I Looked too close,They’d melt my skin And pierce my throat,
I will try ✌️
