Nostalgia, it's been a long walk from then But I miss the days when you lied to my eyes I was your sport, I was your dice I miss the days when you sashayed in and out of my space See, you were the Ronaldo of my world, you were the ace And now that I walk on the boulevards of burnt bridges and broken promises I think of how there's no more love in lovely It's become obsolete like the smile of a young widow

So, I read this book early this year and thought, this had to be one of the best books I've read so far. One of the things that renders the book so fascinating is the way the author makes use of biblical archetypal characters. Unlike other works of fiction, the characters are relatable. You feel like, "oh, I know this person!" And that alone makes the book such an amazing read. The book is replete with so much wisdom that one could almost think it was written by the gods. Well, enough of the accolades. I think I should show you my bests quotes from the book and I believe you won't agree less. " When a person really desires something, all the universe conspires to help that person to realize his dreams" " Whoever has money is never really alone." "Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own". " It is not what enters men's mouths that's evil, Its...

It's been a while since you heard from me, I know. I've been trying to catch up on life, learn new things and discover the things that really matter. So, while I was away, what was I up to? Apart from my normal busy schedule, I started learning how to bake! Yea! One of my friends volunteered to teach me, which is so amazing because I get to learn at my own pace. I've baked two cakes so far. Both cakes mean so much to me because they symbolize my days of humble beginnings which the bible said not to despise. This was the first ever. I baked it on the 14th of February for my boo. We were miles and poles apart so I didn't get to see him but I still had to demonstrate my love to him. This was the second. Baked on the 24th of February for my neighbour for his birthday. So, to the let's proceed to the Ode, Oh, thou elegant symbol of celebration Fluffy goodness trapped in diverse shapes Cynosure of the events Handless yet uniting Covered yet...

You lied I am not the kind given to mindless prattle Nor am I the kind to be swayed by the grace of your swaying lips Ever since I took to the fashion of judging mysteries with the guise of a wolf clan I have had for myself a vacuum long filled from it's doldrums I take your words for what they are, words! with the kindness and calm I can't but disdain each loose one I sacrifice at the altar of smouldering indifference For you lied to me,you told me I had too much to loose Grand papa says its always better to be left with the "oh wells than the what ifs" You lied,you said being self-centered is wrong I am the north star ,the nucleus of this journey breathing life&essence You lied, you said everything happens for a reason Not everything was a cosmic sign to begin with You lied ,you always do Written by Anjolaoluwa Jaiyeola Have a wonderful day, Xoxo Dieko

Hello Heaven, Heard you would be judging with how it ends Heard I would be a stranger to all my friends Heard the music would be alleluyah, hope there's highlife and not just the classicals Hope we can hip hop to the musicals Would the angels be on blue jeans, leather jackets or fancy kicks? Don't tell me it's only white robes. I'll be bored in less than a week. Sorry for all the questions, mean no I'll intentions. Would there be choir practice,I  hope heaven isn't all church service? Help me not to lose faith, Jesus leave the parables and talk straight... Written by Peter Nwanguma Have a Wonderful day ahead, Xoxo, Dieko.
