This evening finally came. I thought I had escaped it completely, but I guess somehow I knew I couldn't give sweet, nice, smart and geeky-in-the-sexiest-way-possible Amy, what she wanted. She always has an answer to every question and knows how to fill the silence in our conversations with witty statements that make me crack a smile, but tonight was different. I could see it in her eyes that I had hurt her, but I couldn't take my words back. I knew she'll forgive me in an instant if I told her it was all a joke. She has a big heart and maybe that is the problem. She sees an " us " that puts holy fear into my bones. "Gamophobia," Kenny chimed when I told him about the girl in my estate. To all the questions he asked, trying to find something to fault her, I had nothing negative to say. Her only flaw would be her capacity to love. Hers is a heart that can power an entire nation and honestly, it scares me. Meeting Amy wasn't a coincidence, at least I wa...

Today it felt like I had mastered the trick. I believed that it was possible to care and not lose myself, it worked -- seemed to work for the shortest while, until he found the words I didn't want to hear. It was another sunset, like the many we've shared together. Another cool evening with the black soot in the air and the blaring horns of hurrying white-collar workers; tired of the days slaving at the office, permeating the air from the distance. We never cared about them, at least I didn't, and I doubt he ever did. I always looked forward to his calls every evening, and today wasn't any different. The phone barely rang when I hit the green button and closed my eyes to let his voice light up my entire being. It wasn't deep, nor did he have the baritone kind, his is soft and somewhat pitchy, yet he finds a way to sound so delicious that I taste him with my eyes firmly closed, and my lower lip in between my teeth.  "I'm at the gate..." his favourite wo...

Art has come to stay, and how we choose to express it matters a lot. We are fortunate to have talented vocalists in our world today who use their aesthetic vocals to bless all of humanity, sometimes it's the artists who use their brushes to paint our souls on their canvas. The truth is, at the very core of Art, you would find words. Without words, the vocalist would only hum tunes that would make you smile but wouldn't convey any meanings, without words you would not be able to interpret a fine painting when you see one, so... words are important. Why am I stressing on words? Here is the thing, having a perfect understanding of words and how to bend them to cause desired results is truly pure art. One form of art that constantly excels in this is POETRY, and in recent times we have seen the SPOKEN WORD genre grow bigger and stronger. THIS IS THE GOSPEL is a perfect blend of music and poetry delivered in the most excellent lines that will cause you to pause and reflect...

The reviews from that book and my many students who bought the book way back in 2016 were the needed push to remind me of my gift and how I could really use it to impact people, so I married my pen and the writing journey began. I write: Scripts Screenplays Poetry Short stories Blogs Copies and I also Ghostwrite. One of the high points in my writing career was in the year 2019 when one of my short stories got me into the 'STORY STORY' class of the Africa International Film Festival . It was a dream come true and it gave me the opportunity to meet young writers from all over Africa and eventually make it into the Screenwriters Guild of Nigeria. ＲＥＡＤ ＭＹ ＳＨＯＲ...

They say men and women bled to give you life Many of whom are forgotten with each passing year Yet still, you smile and love despite the growing strife It’s fine, I wouldn’t tell... if you shed a tear How many of your children remember your fight How many see the hole they create every time they run Far away from you with all their souls might Leaving you to the mercies of those who watch you burn For every call you make for them to come home They go further still, denying their ancestry They traverse the world, sailing from Greece to Rome Avoiding your borders with purposeful artistry The few of us who make you smile The very few who stay true to origin Driven by greed, soon become guile Separated from you by a very broad margin It hurts, I know it hurts so bad Each time I write I hear you weep Begging to smile again and not stay sad Hoping your love, we will one day... keep Africa, mother like no other Africa, hear today the crie...

THE KLYNIC - Songwriter, screenwriter, blogger, Author, Husband, Father, Brother and Friend . Songwriting is art, art in it's purest form. It is one of the oldest methods of storytelling that dates all the way back to the time of our fathers and foremothers😁. Many things we know about our world today, were embedded in songs and passed from generation to generation, and it's only common to find songs that have transcended time, and the few that are particular to a select group of individuals.  DISCLAIMER: There are no hard or fast rules to songwriting, so I'm not about to give you formulas here.   One thing you should keep in mind is the fact that storytelling at its very core, needs to evoke empathy or its communication will be shortlived.  I was honoured to be invited by Aijay  to her wonderful corner😉, where she lets professionals guide her followers on certain things that relate to their field. I would not be teaching you how ...
