Hi, lovelies!
My name is Mariah Eyitayo and I’m so glad you’re here. I started writing from my undergraduate years in the university. I have since written lots of poetry, articles and the likes. I started this blog because I have a passion for writing, and like the saying goes, what’s the use of a good meal when no one is eating it? I have set up this platform basically to connect with you.

A compliment is an expression of praise, admiration or commendation. It also means courteous greeting, good wishes or regards.
That said.
Initially, when I hear people say “compliments of the season”, I often wondered how correct that was since compliment only just meant an expression of praise or commendation, or so I thought.
I had to do a research on the meaning of “compliments” as a word, and “compliments of the season” as a phrase.
Now knowing that “compliments” also means good wishes, I already love the phrase “compliments of the season”. It means ” good wishes of the season.” It’s an old fashioned saying and it’s quaint and charming.
So I say to everyone, Compliments of the Season. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
Woman
A symbol of strength
But every so often, hidden
Woman
A symbol of softness
Of a loving touch and dutiful care
Woman
A symbol of wisdom
A word spoken in season
A cheer to the heart
Woman
A symbol of control
Of order and
Of management
Woman
In search of power
In search of equality
Has lost the power that she truly owns
Woman
In search of a “better life”
Has dumped her essence
In gutters where she trod
Woman
Oh woman, where are you?
Why have you lost that allure
That makes you, you?
Woman
We need you
Come back to our families
Bring back with you
Your inherent strength under control
Bring back with you
The true beauty that characterizes you
Women
Let’s embrace the woman in us
Let’s connect with who God has created us to be
And experience the joys of truly being a woman
Lights of visions
Beaming from afar
Hearts awakening
Beating with excitement
Then comes fear of losing
The vision to the wind
Then a calm hopeful reassuring
That dreams become reality
As I wake up to the rising sun
I think of all the things
I would like to achieve
In my life time
It’s been a long time coming
Since I’ve had this thing
In my brain ringing
With no sign of its birthing
I think up excuses
Genuine excuses
Reasons for becoming
Tending to not becoming
Courage! I tell myself
Courage! I give myself
Take the bold step!
Be fearless!
Have you been to the beach lately? I have, and the sight of the sea is just awesome. The rolling of waves upon waves is just breathtaking. I studied it and a lot of questions filled my mind.
How does the sea know where it’s bank is? How does it know it can only go so far? What makes it to just keep rolling and roaring and every other sound it makes? Why the sea is so huge and wide? Why it harbours different kinds of creatures, even the ones mankind may never see?
It’s just nature’s beauty and it’s bid to spice up the life of man, and God is telling us that abundance rests with Him, and we can plug into it. We can declare that the abundance of the sea is converted to us, and it is so.
Nature is just awesome!
Here’s a book that I stayed very late reading. It’s titled Beyond Now by Maggie Smart from Nigeria.
It’s due to come out in December, so don’t say you weren’t told. People of all ages find it really captivating.
You don’t wanna miss out. Grab a copy for yourself and while you’re at it, grab at least two for your friends, when it’s out.
Contact me via this platform if you’re outside Nigeria, or send an email to mrhtayo@gmail.com.
Happy reading!
This is just what I wanna do
Open and mouth and sing
Sing with all of my might
And push out all the pain
Let the tears flow freely
Let the hurt and the shame Continue reading “Musings Of A Sad Soul”
Everyone is born into this world with something to offer it. It is usually called talent at the initial stage. This ‘talent’ stage is when the bearer displays his talent for his enjoyment only; Continue reading “When Does Talent Become Gift?”
