COLORS OF LOVE


My heart is a great blank acrylic canvas
Cold and cream
Rough around the seams
Yet tender to touch
Then I saw you approach  
With your mahogany brush
Oh you visual delight come and paint me
Just don’t hate me when you know me

Paint me your blues
I am sad like you boo
Paint out for me the abscess in your heart made by an absent father
Paint me your red when you rage set ablaze your emotions
Show me your blood as it boils looking at my body
Our passion is wine and I am drunk in love
Oh you visual delight come and paint me
Just don’t hate me when you know me

Paint me your golden eye
I want to absorb your wise ways
My loyalty to your royalty has never been replaced
You stimulate my strength
Paint me your greens that you love spending
Yet hate to pay the price
Eat or inhale our veg delight
We must have our daily intake
This is no mistake
Oh you visual delight come and paint me
Just don’t hate me when you know me

Paint me pink as you let me see the wounds she left
Our love makes things alright
Give me a taste of the secrets hidden on your tongue
Paint me your blacks with all its ins and out
Don’t turn off your mysterious black power
Turn it on for all to see

Paint me in all your shades and hues
Your secrets are safely sealed in our creation of affection
Brush off the fear and doubt
And pour yourself on me
I see your true colors shining through
And together we will make an image of what love should look like
Oh you visual delight come and paint me
Just don’t hate me when you know me

When you see what we have made come to life
I pray it revives what was dead inside in both of us
Do you like what you see?
Or shall we start again
Let me reveal other parts of myself
And you let you spread some more truth
Oh you visual delight
Come
Come and paint me

LIFE LESSONS: PAIN

WARNING: DEEP AND HEAVY CONTENT BELOW! I am no expert at this life thing, though I believe my experiences so far have given me insight into some issues that are part of our shared human experience. One thing that I have observed is that we all talk to each other, but there are a lot of deep and meaningful topics that we do not talk about. I recently started watching TED talks on their website ( https://www.ted.com/ ) and on their YouTube channel to expand my knowledge and learn from different people. There are so many fascinating, smart and educated people from all over the world speaking about different topics or their personal lives and work in educative, brief, creative and honest ways which expanded my mind and empathy. Hiding behind busyness and procrastination, I could not write for this blog the last few weeks until finally the inspiration bug bit and I took a page from the TED talks and got personal about my life and hope that what I say is sincere as it is informative.

NEW BEGINNINGS

2019 is almost over yet it feels like it just started a few weeks ago. Whether the world is speeding towards an official end or time is just moving as it always has, here we are officially ending the 2010s and into vision 2020. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed each and every year of my life up until this point, through all the unbelievable peaks and heart breaking valleys. I turned 25 a few months ago and went through a mini "quarter life" crisis. Well not necessarily a crisis, I spent a beautiful week at a quiet beach lodge near a little village in Salima alone talking with God, writing and reflecting on what has happened in my life so far and where I want to go. A lot of the conversations that I started at the lake are still ongoing and I hope they continue for the rest of my life. One thing that I learned from that birthday pilgrimage was that I have had so many dreams and ambitions since I was a child. Some of these have been attained, some seem unattainable beca

NEW BEGINNINGS. AGAIN.

  Moments My mom said something interesting about me a few months ago. She said that I am good at starting over. I chuckled at the irony. Truth be told, I've often felt stuck, navigating the treacherous waters of procrastination and comparison. Even as I made progress towards my goals, these currents led to decisions and actions that I've had to face. I am grateful for the moments I conquered them and ended up in impactful and sustainable spaces.    The part of me that yearned to wait for the perfect moment or the right words to share was in constant conflict with the desire to just do so. It took a while. Here I am now. Ready(?) and willing to talk about my work/life, like I mentioned in  my first blog post . Sooner or later, you have to push to start. If you're a new reader, hello. Thanks for joining us. If you've read my musings before, it's nice to see you again. Let me tell you what I've been up to the last three years. The pictures are captured moments of
