The 8th Wonder of The World

The warmth that greets the cockles of your heart.
The joy from within, that makes you beam with smile.
The thrill that tends to pull your trigger, at the sight of your target;
Beyond words are the expressions of your delight,
At the presence of the object of your fascination.

Like cologne, they carry their own aura.
Their oestrogen zone overshadows multiple testosterone.
Their presence puts us at our best, unconsciously trying to impress.
We barely compete in looks, until a lady arrives the scene.
Oh woman! Beauty, Brain and Character...
The 8th wonder of the world.

Thou frail creature, yet potentially magnanimous,
Thou art a crown unto thy man-
Thy Bermuda eyes magnetizes men towards thee-
Thy lustrous lips, whisper echoes of inspiration, love and strength-
In thy touch, flows electrodes that cripple the spine-
Thy twin tower, overpowers the 6th sense:
Thy asset, a wonder...
And in thy honeypot, lies pleasures untold

THE JOURNEY

I thought my life was complicated, I thought I had no capacity to love, I thought I had no right to be in a relationship, I thought I had no right to be happy.....
I was focused on getting past something I had little or no control over the outcome.
I put my life on hold, trying to achieve one goal......
Little did I know that i was putting my life in a hole.

I wanted just two things.......
This thing and That thing.
But nothing was coming forth.
Not because I was not focused or determined enough...
sometimes, its just within your powers.
No-matter the plans, things still fell apart. Almost tearing me apart.
Expectations upon expectations....
And then my greatest fear, their faith begins to wane; their pressure weighing me down.
My ideology goes under microscope.
Change is constant and difficult...so I hold on to the status quo.
Pressing on- unto nothingness.
But in all these, I did not lose my identity...
My faith in me was my resistance to their pressures, it bore me up.
The right association, kept me afloat.
Friends left.
Some I pushed away, some I came away...some ran away..................‪#‎2_be_continued‬
