Triggers: Mystic, Love and Musings!

By Adeleke Adesuyi

A collection of a mixed match of poetry imploring the subject of love, mystics, and other musings. There is the make what you wish element at the core of the writing style, however, it is easy to follow and even sing along!
Divided into ten chapters introduced by a short reflection that captures the mood and overall, these of the chapter.
Triggers so-called because of the impulsiveness of the writer’s inspiration. The sun, the moon, and the occasional brush with the mundane set off sparks in this writer’s mind. The result is almost a hundred poems many written whole on the road!
Written to be explored and enjoyed!

Mystic, Love and Musings!

I have brooded over the idea of the publication of my several years of ramblings that I have been discreetly cataloging on words for quite a bit. While I consider myself more of an expressionist than a poet, I have always loved the genre. As you might discover in the style and the sequence of my lines, it is easy to assume that some of these writings come from personal experience with fate, faith, and even occasional fatalities. It is much more than that. Regardless, to every piece of poetry, it is hard to ignore the deep feelings of the author, his life journeys and most interestingly the object and sometimes subject of his musings.

Inspiration comes in different colors. Just as a butterfly, some are much more glamorous than the others. However, the most exotic outpour may possibly not be the one with the most ostentatious colors, but those that are hardly expressed in the congregation of deep reflective thinkers. While I might not be solely convinced that my expressions are exclusive, there is a push behind
