THE STORYTELLER


The mind is that story engine that moves with us, especially men. We all have that moment our mind wanders, an example is scanning the room for the most beautiful girl in the perimeter, and after a successful scan our mind starts the story telling, imaginations of all sorts.

At that moment, the mind can imagine a kiss; can imagine a session of intimacy, can conjure that the lady is the admirer and the man the one being admired, it’s the mind, it has its own power, and it’s a great storyteller, but untrue ones.

Imaginations are the stories the mind tell.

As a man, trust me when I say that the best stories are always ‘the girl moment’, what I call, the Tony Braxton Moment: you just stare and wonder why she is that pretty!!

Sometimes, the feet gets smart, we move towards the lady and start some conversation, you talk about everything that means absolutely nothing, the objective is simply to get her number, the strategy is to make her smile, laugh and probably touch your hands a couple of times. Then you depart with the exchange of digits.

Never, will the mind prepare you for a woman who is indeed a storyteller, your game switches on you literally.

The genesis of my story is tonight: sitting in my living area, a short glass of whisky on the rocks, it was vh1 storytellers’ time, tonight if you watched, Alicia Keys was on and all I expected was a good time: she got hits isn’t it? She has the sexy coarse voice I love, so it was just good music time.

Boy I was wrong, the woman is a STORYTELLER!

I mean she gave a background to every song, she matches emotions with the words, she explained why she has skits in between songs: what they meant at that moment, she just spoke emotions in bars, keys and note, emotions in rendition.

The mind is a storyteller, but everyman knows that the best stories are never told by the mind, because the mind doesn’t tell true ones, the greatest stories are told by women with emotions.

A woman, a good woman, a beautiful woman with emotions is the greatest STORYTELLER one can ever meet. Their stories come from the HEART, true loving engine rooms where stories are stored unlike the fallacy the mind strings together.

I have met but a few.

    Very funny piece, lool @ "the best stories are never told by the mind"..true to it, the heart of a woman knows the truth but only few know how to express themselves

    Good piece... all mind tell stories but few expresses. However, a renewed mind dishes a refined expression. cheers!

    Your piece reminds me of a song title, 'The Heart Is Not So Smart', and I wonder why! Is my mind playing tricks on me?
    For Storytellers,their stories are sometimes well written on their sleeves, hence subtle expression. All about women is Emotions.
    True the minds plays its game; and yeah,the true story is Hearts:... 'a heart, sometimes, not so smart.'

Third Shift of the Sun

Ample space in a tight corner only the mind can reach Demarcation of will, recognition of distance only the eyes can see The gap between now and never, the end, only the soul can feel The middle point, a place where the Sun resides in water The reality of tomorrow is separated by sounds of insects and colours of round balls in sockets But is tomorrow really a reality, when does it start? The sun changes its cloth three times a day, the 3 rd is a bath that takes away glow and shine The routine third shift of the hardworking sun, the start of tomorrow At the 3 rd shift, the workman comes home for his bath In the arms of the same women beaten up during the day, the daily routine of passion and pain The sun never goes to bed. Wrapped in the embrace of his familiar stranger, he looks up at his space The uncertainty of no existence, the promise of reward, a destination lost somewhere in time The map is the soul and the fulfillment is a...

FULL CIRCLE

  On the side where the hips won’t complain Looking into the past that begins on the surface of a wall   Eyes closed, Mind open Visiting memories, no pattern, just a journey     A collection of recollections But it’s not a dream

The Gambler

One of the things that confused me was the balance between first impression and second chances, I probably would have delayed on decisions a few times because I honestly didn’t understand how both scenarios play, a far left situation or open mindedness required the embrace of both? Maybe conclusions are not conclusive, maybe full stops don’t really end sentences as the end of a paragraph doesn’t always translate to the end of the narrative. Time is easier told when both clock hands are on the same digit, confusion really don’t exist if there is a balance, my problem all along has always been imbalance, myopic vision maybe, the type with experience as the known corrective lens. As the years rolled by, I have embraced the gambler’s mind, my cards are not as important as the cards others show and the next round is always pregnant with promise. A gambler knows that cards follow little or no logic, its chance and opportunity, what is presented is inferior to what is n...
