In love

(Dedicated to *ahem*)
My heart races with the stretch of darkness
My eyes squint shut as I filter through the images      

My lips raised to his
His planting a tender gesture
I stand
         I need to get outside
His hands pull me back
                             restraining
                                        for just a moment
A reunion
              old friends & faces
He is beside me
Envy
       I could finally show off
I am no longer the dirty 10 year old in blue and white stripes
I have grown into my own
                            a man
                                   a handsome, cute and rich man in my arms
I love him
His gaze enough to set my heart in a 100 meter race

I smile and rise
Blank!
No!
   one more minute please
I squeeze my lids tighter
Latching on to the moment
Whiff
        gone
              for now
All I have left is a bedside lamp, an alarm clock, cocoa butter and a refrigerator to stare at

I am in love with an image
I haven't met him
But his voice, appearance and name are enough to get my heart giddy

I am in love with an image
But one I fervently hold onto
I am a little princess again.

    Good one! The indentation gives the poem some more life.

    P.S. "He is besides me" should be "He is beside me".

A very heartbreaking season finale -- Rizzoli and Isles

Are you freaking kidding me?  That single moment when Maura Isles raises her eyes, bats away Jane Rizzoli’s hands and screams "don’t touch him" shattered my heart into a million piece. I sat in shock as I watched Jane shoot Patrick Doyle, Maura’s biological father, and seeing Maura reject Jane's help broke it. Holy shit! This is the worst season finale that I ever watched in the entirety of my life. 10 minutes till the end and still no break in the case was enough to tell any ardent #RizzoliandIsles fan that the ending would be a cliff hanger. But nothing prepared us for this.

The Diary of a 9ja girl in Yankee

Remember that career workshop you had in secondary school when you were about to transition into SS1. It was the only time I saw the guidance counselor. She tried to ensure I got my career path right. I was given some survey to fill, which was supposed to show me my strengths and weaknesses, and the certain career that suited me. I remember shaking my head on how ineffective those things are, as I did completely rig the outcome. I had always wanted to be a lawyer, so I made sure that the best profession that suited me was law. Now, I didn't reminisce to pinpoint just how much one can beat the system but to talk about this: parents' expectation for your chosen field. I never understood or could picture why some parents thought they could and wanted to influence their children's career path. Now, I don't have the luxury to say that.
