Nights Like This - Reloaded

The nights are drawing in and its time for me to burrow deep  for long forgotten winter clothes, as they sought hibernation among archived Olympic times, summer fashions.

The nights are drawing in and the clock has fallen back into fall, as I lay in bed, trying to sniff out long forgotten mango/guava/coconut scents and indelible memories imprinted and tattooed in eyelids. Of an island so breathtakingly beautiful, that I sometimes forget to exhale.

The nights are drawing in and the mornings will be getting lighter, as I daydream about feeling free, in the lap of fluidity - nature. Where faces abound will resemble mine as if looking in a mirror. Where I can go and experience and really start living the authenticity of my revived  life among the vivid greens, the brilliant  yellows  and azure blues; coated in a technicolour array of natural living.

The nights are drawing in as I crave for the warm embrace of my spiritually ordained soul mate - my darling, wonderful, blessed loved husband - as he eagerly and patiently awaits for me on the magical, natural island, building up our fortress so our pleasurable laughter and unrelenting joy can be finally released and  reunited.

The nights are drawing in as my countdown begins.

Soon, very soon and I cannot wait.

To be continued...

A Change is Gonna Come... Soon!

As I briefly peruse my blog and kick myself literally about procrastinating in my creativity, I then change my thoughts and tell myself that there have been lots of changes since my last blog entry.
So with all my pontifications and grandstanding that I have written about on my blog,  regarding my stilted creativity,I am still, in my own way, trying to remain optimistic in my uncertainties. Still trying to remain focused on my creative goals, aims and objectives.

One of these changes since my June entry is that I am now a legally married woman! Yes! You know, I have always considered myself married to the love of my life, its just that it wasn't legalised. But now it is. I am officially MRS TAIWO WILLIAMS. Yes, that felt hella (sic) good. In fact, it sounds so good, that I had to capitialise it. I think - and I am still debating - that I am going to keep my beautiful, Yoruba maiden name, as a nod to my noble Nigerian roots. But because I have such a paradox nature at times,  I may just hypen my name when I finally debut my novel.

Anyway, a change is gonna come... very soon. I am keeping it close to my chest right now. Only those who I have trusted and who I love are aware of these changes, but suffice to say, they are positive ones. With this change I am going to migrate my blog to an actual dotcom site - hopefully, by the end of this year - and have it hosted, thus, making it look professional, but most importantly, I will be writing regularly on it and giving you my updates on my wonderful changes. I still need to think of a unique name for my site, and I will be digging deeply into my proverbial hat of creativity to come up with something. One that will get me sudden surges of traffic, and also, most importantly, people reading my blog, feeling my blog, and leaving constructive and positive comments on it.

Oh, I decided to put Sam Cooke's classic video as part of this blog post. I'm aware of the historical context of the track, its that just for me, it sums up my own optimism in my current tide of pessimism.

Soon come!
