Ode to one, Ode to two , Ode to today: 3 odes - 17 March 2008
Monday, 17. March 2008, 23:14:27
Today, another of days you really never know how to describe. Events panned, from the feeling of dying from starvation, to the excitement of seeing someone who rocks your world, so upclose, so tightly everything was basal, yet still finding the mutual grace to keep the whiteness, the purity and the shared stock of immense superiority....
Fact is, there was such a marginal separation between yesterday and today. I was up all night, I hadnt done this in a long time, for any other reason than working or studying.
But I did. Going to be bed only at 5AM approx, only to be woken by the bang of my mobile - a call from an aunt in Lagos. I had to take the call, managed to get up, swaggering like an entity that's bound to fall like a domino pack, I cleaned up my disgraceful room, and ate some Rice.
Then I spoke with you baby G, (you know who you are ) and I came.
This is an ode to you,to me, for the things we both know, the good, the bad, the funny, the naive, the mature, and the plain sense of compassion & grace... And an ode to today, so we might sing, in the days ahead.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In mine, my life,
few are the things that you look back into time,
And feel a sense of awe.
Today,
moments were, that were truly awesome,
as to the things, wanted and offered,
but siginificantly senseless,
naive, and outrightly overwhelming...
Today,
thoughts were, that will linger on,
As to things spoken, unspoken, but so enormously powerful,
it takes extraordinary heroes - You and I - to overcome...
Today,
Experience was, bringing out the
gigantic strength of our specialness...
The serenity of whiteness & purity - still maintained,
the grace to be understanding,
in the heat of naivety but genuine onslaughts,
The perils of loneliness, and pleasures of love,
that we find,
And the finality of not falling alone, nor jointly
Today,
We were winners. Only special souls do. Special ones that was two.
