When She Comes Into View

Like a woman in labour What I feel I can’t harbour All this aching and longing My love seeking revealing Bouncing back and forth Tearing my heart’s walls

Misery so ecstatic Heartbeats so emphatic Pumping love through my veins Numbing all of my pains I start to live anew When she comes into view

The stars question their beauty The moon loses its dignity

Hoarded

For a long time I’ve held on To you my beloved creations Wrapping both my arms and feet Around you till you just won’t breathe Gripped you tight till you suffocate Till from your lungs no breath emanates

I’ve held on to you For a long time I’ve kept you caged Confined you under lock and key Telling you, ‘It’s for the best’ On deaf ears your protest fell Till you were too drained to squeak

I kept…

EPISODE 8: YUM😋

Let me call them 'Carrot Infused Mandazis'. How cool is that😀! Probably for Vegans.

And then there are these cocoa flavoured ones. For chocoholics maybe.

And I get the feeling that nothing is insatiable😆.

I don't need.

I tried to incorporate every line into the painting; I think I pulled it off💪

Episode 6: YUM😋

At this point it started to hit me how flexible dough can be and you just have to know the tiniest bits of details like texture, stickiness, thinnness, how it's going to fry in the oil, and you can form it into anything really.

So yeah, after I made this stars (or crosses), whatever you prefer😆, things started to become pretty interesting in tha later days😊

I start to write

Words start to make sense

I start to paint

Life starts to make sense

EPISODE 5: YUM😋

Challahs and bagels. You can never get tired of these ones. The crunch😢! 😆😆😆.

Plus if well made, you don't have to have a drink to accompany them; you just munch😋 away😎

[okore-elmer]

I thought my love for you would die

Episode 3: YUM😋

ROSES

Who said roses are meant for funerals, weddings and Valentine's only🙅? Why would you even get a rose in the first place? Besides you'll have it for a day or two and then it will droop and dry out.

But what if you had roses that you could actually make some meaningful use off of them like say; eat them😜.

That's what I was thinking when I kneaded that dough and come up with that stuff. I didn't want to start from scratch so I snoop around the internet and as it turns out, folks have done it before, baked but not deep fried though. So I give it a shot and the rest is pretty much history😁😁😁

Episode 2: YUM😋

Challahs

I'm staring😐 at my my dough and I'm thinking🤔, if I can't braid my hair yet, why don't I braid my dough? Takes a little bit of figuring out but I finally come up with Challahs; not baked but deep fried.

I didn't know it but apparently they have a religious significance from Numbers 15:20. The round ones which are braided using six strands which together amount to 12 strands representing the 12 loaves of the 'bread of presence' mentioned in Exodus 25:30 and Matthew 12:4.

The crunch of these things is just sooooo soooo😋. Trust me, they taste better with your eyes😊 closed🙃.
