I’m going to take a sit
order a drink
and talk to you
just for a little while
sip my drink
ignore the spill
place my hands on the table
just for a little while
cross my legs
watch you speak
get lost in another world with you
just for a little while
stare at the sky
admire the clouds
let your words pass through me
just for a little while
till reality rears its ugly head…

I feel like this can pass as the lyrics to a song’s chorus. What do you think?

I’m Mariam — writer, explorer, observer of life’s quiet and loud moments. I started this blog in March 2017 as a self-discovery space, and over the past eight years, it has grown into a home for everything that moves me and hopefully, something that moves you too. Here, you will find poetry, reflections, travel stories, lifestyle pieces, motivation, inspiration and Lagos restaurant reviews all written with honesty and heart. Enjoy!
