Vinspiration

They played the part yet plot the pact. Instead of repair, they lead in the shadow to rip the earth; Our gods are not to blame but them. They have betrayed our ancestors, Posterity can wait no longer. Arriving from yonder, they have come to judge our every move, To the letter in every decision backing our move. Dear Mother, my honour is stained and tattered! To where has my father departed? It seems our collective dream has shattered, The pieces pierced our feet and bruised our skin. My siblings' wail but the elders make merry. Our village is lurking around wealth, But our daily bread is locked up in the vault. We dread treading the path to revolt, And gathering momentum outgrow our ill-health. This is not the future we dreamed of. Our dreams, precious like the mineral that has taken our place now. The elders paraded the corners of my street with pseudo promises. We’d believed for a moment but our springs quickly dried up, And they silently masterminded the raid to rip our homes...

This is a preface to our story One of the best decisions we made was to start nurturing our love, it is our confidence Darling, did you know it takes about 8 minutes for the photons emitted from the surface of the sun to reach the earth? But it takes about 8 milliseconds for me to feel the sounds of your rhythmic heartbeats no matter the distance between our locations. I bet the sun was happy to be a witness when God was crafting and weaving the contours of your physique and the makeup of your being. You glow gloriously. You are a miracle propeller. Your zeal for wisdom is remarkable. I believe the Lord has blessed me with the courage to share in your knowledge. The blueprint of our road map shall be inspired by 1 Corinthians 13, John 15 and Proverbs 31. This love shall bind us together and we shall bear everlasting fruits. You shall be the ideal woman in our home. Our table shall be surrounded with adorable gifts from God Your praise, O Lord, we shall always sing. Through...

Here and now, that’s where we stand and are prepared for the conquest Our stance is affirmed on a solid rock We leave no traces, there are no clues for stalkers Our mystery has that surprise instinct Just like a bee sting, it has that uncommon sensation It is about us, only their nostrils will be blessed to smell the fragrance of our love Right and left, there are life’s tit-bits for us to scribe Life left us not, we live right in it Right before us, we have our path laid Left with us alone we would run to catch up with the future But the right thing is, we have to thread gracefully until we arrive and settle in the destined abode Interestingly, I’m left, you’re right and that’s what makes life completely interesting We complement each other Our life is a Venn diagram We have a universal purpose to garner all our set efforts for the journey ahead I have my fears, you have yours too But our goal is to grow in the graceful stature And favour must ...

After all our hustle, we finally got the project. Saying we were ecstatic would even be an understatement. Words could not express the joy we felt. We were so happy!! We knew our path to greatness had begun. We could taste success though it seemed miles away. Our journey of a thousand mile, we had begun with a step of attaining the project. "Yes, we finally did it!!" - we exclaimed. Filled with hope we began the project, our journey. Our project was to be completed in a year. We often would say "A year is more than we need. We can finish in less than 11." Filled with hope, we did our best. "The path to success is not rosy." "Nothing good comes easy." "Great successes are borne out of great sufferings." With these words in our minds, we worked hard. We gave it all we had. Day and night we worked. Hardly resting.  All was going well. We were on track. We were filled with so much joy. We knew we had completed abo...

There are many ups and downs in life. Some tend to experience many downs Others, many ups I experience both Equally I must add.   Lately I've been stressed I am tired. I am confused and sleepy. I am exhausted. Yet I must suceeed!   I require a place to hide. I demand relaxation. I necessitate happiness. Yet I look all around me and find no place to luxuriate.   Then you came along. Though we are miles apart Each day you are with me. Though I experience life with all its pressures. I am ever delighted. For there is joy in the bosom of my E.A. Written by J-Elle

Unannounced, she leaves saying no goodbyes. Unheralded, she passes on giving no warnings. Unpredictably, she transmutes from earthly being to an Angel -  Our little saint Your unexpected exit has left me in shambles. I'm a total mess - confusion all over. Those you left behind are all at sea. My befuddled mind refuses to accept your departure. We had plans - a brighter future, a happy future I knew our unforseen issues would be solved because we got each other's back. Then you left! No good byes, no warnings  You just left! You were to cater for half and I the other. Though we were opposites, we were to supplement each other like the Chinese yin-yang.  Yet you travelled home without giving me heads up.

Reality check; life seems to present me with camouflaged routes. But I believe my end shall be glorious. I will genuflect in praise of my Father for his goodness It is no surprise that every human being is defensive even in trivial matters We can't seem to be enough for ourselves We toil day in and day out, we sacrifice a lot just to make ends meet. In all aspects of our lives, we desire perfection and much more. But how much is enough? At a point in my life, I wanted to become everything I had imagined possible Being a blessed family man, prolific public speaker and a global development advocate was on top of my list The future is uncertain, but I am not giving up on my dreams. I believe I am gradually becoming a visionary. I expected nature to understand my quest to be the successful Victor in life. I thought if I knew everything about something I will become some kind of superhero. I contemplated living my very own fairy tale. Sometimes I get worried, I get sca...

You gazed I smiled The most expensive feeling yet It was the 'at first sight' experience The circumstance was greased with grace to a prayer I believed had been answered If love is Mathematics, please be my calculator I will be your dictionary if you need to make any statement May we look farther than the usual The situation might look less than standard but that's an understatement I want to live the rest of my life with you laughing and growing together We would go out and return home to where our love is brewed Overflowing and grooming generations unconditionally My love don't have to sweep you off your feet It would lift you off the ground anytime you fall As I look forward to being your pilot and making you soar to new horizons Let's walk not where the path may lead but create ours to where home is Beauty is something your life defines You're God's standard for intelligence and awesomeness For your compassionate heart is vast With ...

You get to that blank stage of your days There are no definite and constructive descriptions The situation is indescribable, so you just can’t think far Yet you believe “all is well” That’s amazing You don’t deserve it, you received it mysteriously It saved the moment; you had relief of your life You say it’s a divine breakthrough Yes!

Don't let your dream be a whim. Pressure shouldn't hinder your vim! If the face of your future doesn't appeal, go get a trim. If your dreams depict a sea, go take a swim! One soul on an adventurous quest... Flipping through pages of life with zest. Like the sun rises from the east only to set in the west; Courageously passing every test to complete the quest. In the future, be the guest who responded to the request. Though you might not have enough beauty to please your viewing pleasure, Nor speak proficiently to soothe your listening ear Nor be convincing enough to make you believe everything about me, Nor be smart enough to break Guinness world records... Yet you have something to offer! They have your attention now, cheers. See this, if you don't have a father figure, then you might not have the feathers to fly farther and further in life. Express your gratitude to your mother for the magnanimity she nurtured you with. You must do all you can whi...

This really happened; she walked towards me with well-calculated steps and gorgeously stood before me with such a radiant smile. Very infectious and I had no choice so I smiled back at her. That meant a lot to me. All other thoughts froze in my head. My heartbeat was in rhythm with the smiles. Like a dream, I did not want to wake up but I had already started with self-introduction. “My name is Victor Ayertey and I followed your tweets and they literally engaged my thoughts. I listened to and watched videos of you performing as a gem. This birthed the interaction that led me to the opportunity to meet you today at this premise …” jumping in like a skydiver, she said “you are welcome…” and she spoke as if she rehearsed what she had to say to me. I was dumbfounded but I had to swiftly adapt to the moment in order to be on the same page as her. She was and is eloquent and proficient. At some point, it seemed as if I was watching some kind of fairy tale. Not really, i...
