Marry Me:

In the gentle morning light, I invite you to dance with me.
To twirl in the melodies of our love, under the azure sky.

Listen to the whisper of the trees, they tell our story,
Of two souls entwined, destined to journey together.

Hand in hand, we defy storms and tides,
For love is our anchor, and trust our compass.

In the secret garden of our hearts, I pledge to you my truth,
To cherish, to honor, till the stars fade away.
Marry me in this eternal dream, where our love blooms like a rose,
With petals of passion and thorns of resilience.
Together, we'll write a timeless symphony,
Of devotion, of laughter, of tears, and of grace.
In the book of our lives, our souls will merge into one,
Forever entwined, in love's eternal embrace.

This piece captures the essence of resilience and the journey of healing. It's a powerful reminder that our scars tell stories of strength and endurance, and they should be embraced as part of our journey rather than hidden away.

People may say all sorts about you, gossiping and spreading rumors without ever seeking your truth. Disregard their words, for they hold no power to define your life or contribute anything of value. Only the opinion of God holds weight and significance.
This is a poignant exploration of the silent reverberations that shape our lives. A journey of self-discovery, a testament to the power of acknowledging the whispers of the soul and finding healing in the echoes of our unspoken truths.

Imagine sitting with a group of friends, sharing stories and insights about life's ups and downs. As you speak, you draw them in with your heartfelt words, offering comfort and inspiration to those who may be facing similar challenges.

"Friends, have you ever felt like life dealt you a hand you weren't quite prepared for? Like you're sitting at a table, each of us with our own set of cards, some filled with aces, others with twos? It's tough, I know. But let me tell you, how we play those cards, that's what matters most.

I've been there, faced my fair share of challenges. From heartbreak to success, I've seen it all. And trust me, there were moments when despair threatened to overwhelm me. But I refused to give in. Every setback, every obstacle I faced, I saw as an opportunity to rise above, to find my inner strength.

Life, they say it's like a gamble, a roll of destiny's dice. But I've learned to trust in fate's design, to see every card in my hand as a chapter of my story. And let me tell you, there's beauty in resilience, in finding hope even in the darkest of times.

So here's to us, my friends, warriors against fate, armed with courage and determination. Let's face life's challenges head-on, knowing that it's not the hand we're dealt, but how we play those cards, that truly defines us. Together, let's embrace the journey, finding meaning and purpose in every twist and turn along the way."

For those unable to understand French, this piece translates as summarised below:

All that you are!

In the gentle glow of the moon,
Your love, my fortunate pearl,
All that you are is my treasure,
Your smile, my evening star.

Your eyes, like gleams of emerald,
In their gaze, everything is deciphered,
Love, tenderness, ardent passion,
In your gaze, I find recent peace.

Your voice, a sweet melody to my ear,
In every word, your love unfolds the same,
The gentle whispers of your sincere heart,
Turn every moment with you into light.

All that you are is my happiness,
In your arms, I find warmth,
Your love, my precious treasure,
For you, my love, I am in love.

In the sweet radiance of your smile,
I find the strength to face everything, to grasp it all,
All that you are, my sweet half,
With you, I want to forever move forward.

In your arms, I find my refuge,
Your love is a delight for me,

All that you are, my tender friend,
and by your side, is where I want to spend the rest of my life.

At the end of the day, that's all we ever have. After every experience, that's all we have to refer back to....

It's time to pick up your crowns Kings! Royalty can be quiet but make your presence known ✨️..

Racism in the corporate world 🌎 will always be swept under the carpet, but it's time to flip the carpet and expose the real dirt ...

Perfection is subjective, but true beauty always lies in the eyes of the beholder. As nobody is perfect, we need to want our imperfect counterparts and take them as they are ❤️

No cap needed ....

Sometimes life throws curveballs but we can put on our helmets to soften the blow. We keep going ...

In a world obsessed with standards and conformity, where beauty is often defined by narrow norms and uniformity.
There's a revolution stirring, breaking free from society's grip, embracing curves, celebrating bodies with a sway and a hip.

Sometimes being lost is the key to finding oneself. It's ok to dwell in the gray area to figure things out 🙏🏽

Simply put, every man should have a woman as their muse to enhance their artistic flair 🙏🏽

Sometimes our dreams of a perfect world can become our realities if we all just worked together ❤️

Sometimes our intuition can be our 6th sense. If something is unnerving and feels out of place, this God given gift needs to be adhered to as it can even save our lives!

Everyone has experienced some form of heartache at some point in their lives. Learning and growing from it is the hardest part 😔.

Are they red flags or are we colour blind? People tend to overlook flaws in order to get their happy ever after even though it shouldn't be!

There is simply no place like home. Just a little summary of the motherland 🦁 🌳 🌅 🌊 🐦

All of us are guilty of layering at some point in our lives. Break free and let your innermost being shine through.. 😊

Fear can often have us in a chokehold and if we allow it, will paralyse us for life! Life was meant to be lived abundantly and in good faith. We need to tackle our fears head on at times to see a brighter day!

Sometimes we get hung on the past, looking back with regret and trying to hold on to something that was never ours. A young man’s epilogue into letting go! 🫶🏽

Finding live nowadays isn’t like it used to be in the days of old, pre-pandemic that is …

They say men aren’t the best at articulating their feelings. Faced with the pressures of everyday life to be the hero, leader, or sometimes provider. The inner groaning pains of words unspoken by man who struggle to speak up 🎙 !

Sometimes we share a common desire to speak to God! We may not always know the words, but he hears our hearts, so pour it out to him ♥️

There is only one race, it’s called HUMAN! It’s that simple… 💭

This is the kind of question that gets temperatures soaring, some feel offended, some feel attacked. For me, it’s quite simple actually……

A captured moment of a heart in distress, as she pours her heart out to him … When you find love, hold on to it!! I tried to articulate my friend’s tale …

Sometimes heartbreak makes it harder to love another… The difference now is, we start with experience and not from scratch 🙏🏽 .. It’s never a loss, just lessons and growth 💭

When we judge, we only condemn ourselves. We’ve not got any authority to pass judgment, lest we be judged after the same manner 💭..

Have you ever lost something so precious and that you hold dear to your heart? The unrest you get from failing to find that ‘something’. We are all precious in the eyes of our God 💫. (inspired by a friend in their trials)

She’s the girl of my dreams!! I dream of her each evening, but is this merely just a dream….? (credit to Dr. NVP E. - inspired initial idea 💡)

“For with thee is the fountain of life: in thy light shall we see light” - Psalms 36:9. This piece I wrote whilst leaneing over on my kitchen counter and pondered on my current challenges and feelings of distress 🙏🏽

Love is often found in the smallest gestures, even though it can’t really be defined in words and often displayed through actions, I’ve captured the one I seek in a few words..... 🤫

Sometimes you need to imagine the kind of love you want to give, practice it enough times until you can apply it. Give what you want to be given....

We often forget the peace that comes from looking up... we need to be knocked down to know that our help comes from above 🙏🏽

Sometimes our flaws aren’t our inhibitors in love, but what makes us unique and special ❤️

They say falling in love 🥰 can be distracting, well then, I guess that’s my favourite type of distraction 💭

A metaphorical sigh of relief after the year we’ve had! There’s healing, togetherness, consolation and peace even during prodigious times... 🙏🏽 💫

It’s all in the words for me...... 📖 ✍️
