Dear future wife

  

Dear future wife,

It is with a joyful heart I write to you without any idea of whether you will read or not. That won't stop me from writing because initially writing is my thing.

I would have written a book to tell you this but I realized that I might end raising false hopes for some. Ergo, I'll cut the long wiggling tail short and head straight to my issue like a thunderbolt.

Life is an interesting experience but of late I have been thinking what interest will you come with. I have grown so fond of writing love stories and poems, not forgetting the beautiful ladies I dedicate poems to and feature their mouthwatering photos on my blog. Well, I'm not trying to tell you what I'm doing but trying to give you a heads up of what lays ahead of you.

When I will ask you the golden question, believe me, I wouldn't mind if you hesitate for a moment. I am a risk you won't afford to engage with without risking a lot, please forgive I'm a nuisance and not hoping to change. Luckily, if all goes well I'll improve my level of insanity.

I hope you're not already hopeless because I'm about to say something. Earlier I mentioned that I would have written a book but decided otherwise. Since you're the best woman who will ever step into my life, besides my mother of course, you will hear the poetic sentiments straight from my mouth. I'll not allow you to get to sleep on an empty stomach as well as not hearing a new poem only for. Currently I have about over fifty poems reserved for you; not my girlfriend but my wife.

You see I am a romantic nuisance. So this is what I'm trying to say; how are you wherever you are? I hope you're taking care of yourself as I am doing especially for you.

Your loving future husband

Poet Baraka

PS. One day I'll give you the most terrible shock by just telling you I love you.

WHY I WRITE

My literary ambitions are mixed up with feelings of being isolated and undervalued. I know I have a facility for words and a power of facing unpleasant facts and situations, and I feel that I’ve created some sort of private life in literature in which I can get my own back for my failures, especially academically, in my everyday life. I do not only report to others but also to myself first and foremost. I like the communication aspect of writing since it gives me a ‘somewhat’ safe platform to question the authority, societal rules, culture and identity.  I write not only to find a way into the world but also to hold it away from me so that sheer, senseless events would not devour me. I usually feel this powerful adrenaline rush and if I am in bed, I jump out and reach for my ever present pen, a paper and my old flashlight in order to pen down my sentiments. As most writers have sagely implied, during that compulsive state of inspiration, I replica a pregnant woman in labour pa...

Love

What is love? We all do ask,right? Here I try to break down a few ideologies about this feeling! Love is about bottomless empathy, born out of the heart’s revelation that another person is every bit as real as you are. And this is why love, as I understand it, is always specific. Trying to love all of humanity may be a worthy endeavor, but, in a funny way, it keeps the focus on the self, on the self’s own moral or spiritual well-being. Whereas, to love a specific person, and to identify with his or her struggles and joys as if they were your own, you have to surrender some of your self. The big risk here, of course, is rejection.  We can all handle being disliked now and then, because there’s such an infinitely big pool of potential likers. But to expose your whole self, not just the likable surface, and to have it rejected, can be catastrophically painful. The prospect of pain generally, the pain of loss, of breakup, of death, is what makes it so tempting to avoid love and stay s...

A feeling called LOVE!

You walked away without looking back, And I hoped that, Wherever you went, whenever it was, Even if the orange sun didn’t rise, From the magnificent eastern horizon, That you’d never forget, That you were once, mine, That we once treasured, feelings. I hoped that in your tempestuous future,  In our parallel futures, We may look back with eyes wet from, crying, Weeping torrents of tears, We may glance back, Reckon, In sadness, With pain, That we once were, lovers. I remember the dreams that we fondly, shared, Yes! We once shared, And amidst my grueling sobs, My agonizing sorrows, I can only hope, treading, knowing, That we once shared a feeling, a tenacious feeling, a feeling called LOVE . What is love ? Just a four letter word? What is thi tantalizing feeling? This feeling called love!?
