Through the Path to Her: Poetic Reflections of my Love Life

By Bill Bassey Okpa

About the Book

INTRODUCTION

There is always a new and more lovely way to tell love stories. This is because everyone is involved in a love affair –seem to me like a standard. Some are enjoying the affair, some are lost wondering how they got in or struggling to find their rhythm –battling foes, in-house and with the world and others are looking for a way out of it.

Being creative with everything I find is my blessing from God, and I thought it would be beautiful if I wrote this piece this way. The sketchings were already written long before I gathered them to form this work. I thought it would be nice to trace my relationship story through the various sketchings that contained part of this whole story. The Sketchings were written between 2012 through 2015. And though some of the events had already taken place, I nostalgia them and penned them down as I thought them necessary.

The collection has been divided into chapters or sections. The first, titled; I Salivated and Dreamt and Fantasized tells of the times that I imagined and painted pictures of me falling in love and having a family and all the beauties to enjoy. The second; In Search of Relevance tells of what I learned about life as I went to do first things first, like studying, discovering myself and determining the path in life I will take. The next title; I Met Her and Her and Her… contains my encounters with various girls and ladies as I went on living my life. These are not all the girls or ladies I met but the ones that had impact on my love life. A Flash of her, I Questioned recounts how I did not just accept my wife but had to be sure she is the right woman for me; before By Faith, Stepped On and proposed to her, which is the next title.

After proposing to her, I declared that I Found Her, and Took Her On the journey of life with me. And that I found her and took her did not mean everything was rosy. We started Wrestling Foes Along Our Path and this we are still doing till death do us part. And God
