      Love Letters

      Mar 7, 2022

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      The 3rd Scroll - Akintunde E.B

      The 3rd Scroll

      ‘The 3rd Scroll’ is a memoir of real experiences, true events and first-hand accounts of persons and personalities with a voice that needed to be heard; written in verses.

      …

      A verse appreciates, others dilate, a few describes resolution and a few more reminiscence. …and I hope every memoir touches you as did me.

      I don’t pray for life

      I pray to live whatever life I'll have,

      I don’t pray for recognition

      I pray for satisfaction,

      I imagined I would love you child

      but I would love something more:

      that you learn to sail

      even if I give up will.

      The Lost and the Losses

      Inception

      I closed that last chapter in the tenth day

      of the first month of the year of my birth;

      Three times I tried, three times I failed,
