LOVE NOTES- Victoria Soyobi


Image result for love notes picture
Love is life.
Life, they say, is not fair. Is love fair?
Let’s work it out together
You love someone so much that your day is incomplete without him
You think about him every second of every day
You want to pick the phone and call him almost every hour
When you speak with him, your day is just splendid and everyone around can see
When you get to spend time together,
Your whole world is made just perfect
He is the first that comes to mind
When there is any news, good or bad!
Everyone around, friends and foes alike,
Know his status in your life
That’s because you wouldn’t stop talking about him
Directly, or indirectly
You dress gorgeously, carry yourself with charisma
With the hope that you may come across him by ‘chance’
You would do anything to be with him
But guess what!
He likes it when you call, but would barely think about calling you
He likes it when he sees you, but he wouldn’t make effort to
He probably says hi only if you say hello first
You are the last person to know what’s going on in his life
Good or bad, because he doesn’t remember to tell you
Oh wait; he calls or says hello first
When he needs something or wants a piece of information.
He does some things once in a while though, that makes you go crazy,
Then you think he loves you
Yes he does, probably, but you are not just the first in his life
He is probably nice and kind but only when you demand it
We can go on and on…
You love him, he loves you;
But it’s not just the same- and it’s very frustrating
Now, here’s a twist to our story:
There’s a second guy in the picture-
Let’s put him in your shoes, and you- well in the first guy’s shoes;
He cares so much, but you only say hi when he says hello
Are you being paid back in your own coin?
This guy has a girl who’s all over him, whom by the way, he barely notices
Can we say, that what goes around comes around?
Sincerely, I don’t know
But that chain, it seems continuous and unending
It sort of reminds me of God’s love;
He loves us so much and yet,
We place him after ourselves, someone else, or something else.
Think, about it.

LOVE-CLERKING

A few days ago, we discussed clerking. We’d use that basic knowledge in clerking an individual presenting with certain complaints. History Taking Biodata: Patient X is a 22 year old male Afghanistan student. Presenting complaints: Tachycardia, Sleeplessness, lack of focus History of presenting complaints: first symptom- insomnia (sleeplessness), followed by tachycardia (increase in heart beat), and then, loss of focus. First noticed about 3 weeks ago. Past medical history: Relatively healthy individual, treated for malaria 2 months ago. Has no history of insomnia or tachycardia. Physical Examination Examine cardiovascular system with stethoscope. Examine the lungs as well as the neurological system. Provisional diagnosis Patient is undergoing mental stress, and this is taking a toll on his heart and brain Investigations Laboratory tests are carried out on patient’s blood Due to the neurological and psychological nature of this problem, other areas are also in...

#POETRY# MOMENTS

So, it’s another Monday. Today’s poem is on moments, appreciating them and taking second looks at the seemingly mundane. Enjoy! MOMENTS You never know, you just never know There he was last night, holding your hands, Looking into your eyes with passion beyond expression, And then; here he was this morning, telling a sad tale of never! Who knew love could become so tasteless overnight? It had seemed over in less than a flash; So much for the deep love you shared. Where it all ends, you just never know! Memories of baby’s not so far away childhood, Flickered before her eyes like a dimly lit flame Was it not just last summer she had started crawling? And in what appeared to be less than 24hours, She had walked, jumped and taken sandwiches to school And now, she fit smugly into a graduation gown, cape and all, Her baby was now a grown woman And those memories were all she had left! He stroked her tapered fingers lovingly as he wept by her beds...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
