Every time...

I have realised, that every time I have had an experience that has jolted my very existence, I have bounced back looking more beautiful. 

I guess it's the extra fine lines around my eyes, the eyes that look crystal clear after a good cry in the dark in solitude... Yes! I look like a colourful butterfly transformed from her larvae stage in the cocoon her self imposed exile ... Into a beautiful butterfly! 

Having fulfilled my responsibility as a daughter, sister, wife, daughter in law, and mother ... I have reached a stage in my journey to travel alone for myself now.  I know it will seem a bit arduous initially but I know one thing for sure, it will be a beautiful and adventurous journey too.

Every time, it has in the past been one beautiful journey, journaling which was fun... And am sure gonna enjoy the forthcoming journeys too EVERY TIME! 

An Ode To A Traveller... The Gourmet Gallivanted!

Pechu...

As they refer to him...

His friends and all and sundry ...

She met him on Facebook ...

She fell for his food and charms...

His words ...

He charmed his way into her head ...

And, heart of late ...

But, emotions apart ...

He stood apart from the rest ...

As the Knight in the Gourmet Avatar! 

Traversing the length and breadth of Earth...

In all his sixty springs of youth ...

Through the autumn of times ...

Warm and cozy winters ...

Drenched in the monsoons of life ...

He writes of his passionate affair with food ...

The images taken from his camera ...

Doing justice to the ones who lay the delights ...

On his table ...

Only to be immortalized by his eloquent description in words spoken and written...

And captured in his camera for the world to see...

He the gallavanting connoisseur ...

Of all things good and about food...

He the Adonis ...

The Gourmet Gallivanted!

Pechu's Planet ...

Has immortalized many a food joints ...

Social media abounds of the images and his travel deeds...

He has a way with words...

Waxing eloquent...

A thorough gentleman and a ladies man ...

He's won many a hearts ...

Through his words that speaketh of his passion...

For travel and food! 

His world of travel and ...

His words descriptive of his love for good food...

Attracted her ...

She fell head over heels in love ...

With his penchant for food and...

Exploration of the world beyond her imagination! 

The Bond of the World Cuisine ...

His stealth and mastery over wine ...

And fine fine ...

He sure can con a young nimble heart ...

Into being a starry eyed nymph.

What to wear!

The only #Dilemma in my life is , WHAT DO I WEAR TODAY? 

I can't seem to zero in on a dress for the day especially on a #Sunday ... Aaarrggghhh! Decision making is such a daunting task where clothes are concerned! 🙈

It's not that am wanting for the threads ... 

I have plenty...

Enough to cloth many...

People ask me for my clothes...

If they can fit into them...

I seldom repeat my clothes in the same season...

I may repeat the next year...

Same season...

If I can find my clothes in the pile up ...

At home...

In the steel trunks ...

The many cupboards...

And the carrybags under the beds...

It's a dilemma for sure...

What to wear ...

Especially if it's a holiday and am going out...

Whilst at home...

My birthday suit is the best bet...

Then there's no dilemma 🤪

Saintly Sins...

A very different kind of sin...

The desires and yearning...

Of one who seemed frigid in a glance...

Frail in another...

Yet, so full of life ...

A vibrant nature...

Albeit, a sinner...

A saintly sin committed...

She laughed at her demeanor...

A meaningful stance she took...

A plunge into the unknown depths...

Of love she traversed...

Hurtling down the dark alleyway...

The darkness engulfing her...

A negative G thrust...

A feeling hitherto alien...

Yet, an aura surrounds her...

She committed her sin...

A Saintly Sin ...

A smug smile on her lips...

She turned around...

Thinking of the sin...

A Saintly Sin...

She took flight...

Spreading her wings far and wide. #GoFigure

Raising a Toast ...

To all those ...
That never lived to see another daylight ...
She raises a toast ...
To the ones ...
Whom fate meted out her justice!
#GoFigure
Go figure the numbers ...
The ones who were unjust ...
She is just an unjust lady ...
Seeking justice for the wrong done.
Go Figure ...
The pain of the one ...
Who gave selflessly ...
Only to be looted by the ones she trusted ...
The wail of her soundless cries ...
They echo through the night...
Raising hell in Heaven and Earth ...
Oh Yes!
See the end result ...
A heart attack here and there...
A cardiac arrest to name a few ...
A few hanging deadbeat bodies ...
The fans a witness to their pain ...
Never hurt a selfless soul ...
For justice today ...
Is done here and here only on Earth ...
You suffer your hell here ...
You can not fathom the pain...
It is here that her justice is given ...
It is here that you face her truth ...
An unjust lady seeking justice ...
Do not cross paths with her ...
For she is the cat clad in black ...
With magic in her footsteps ....
Raising a toast to the moon above ...
She wails yet again ...
The dawn tomorrow shall bring ...
The death of yet another beastly soul.

A Big Mistake ...

She thought he was a friend...

He turned out to be a beast...

Killing her trust instantly...

He pounced upon her...

Her innocence lost ...

In the melee of silent screams ...

A big Mistake ...

Certainly...

He turned out to be her biggest mistake in life. #GoFigure

Waiting with open arms...

She is ...
Waiting with open arms ...
For her lover...
Her imaginary lover ...
Her friend...
Her guide...
Her soulmate...
She is waiting...
Wanting a tete'a tete' ...
An unknown future ...
The thrill of not knowing...
An unknown future it is. #GoFigure
