THOUGHTS OF YOU



The stare of black fathomless orbs
The brush of petal-soft lips
The caress of delicate satiny skin
The silhouette of a beauty so breathtaking it hurts
The ever pleasant smell of nocturnal jasmine
The radiance of a smile pushing my heart beats a pace too fast
The sound of laughter so perfect and contagious
The whispers of pleasant words of endearment
Everywhere I turn, I see you
And then I get off memory lane and step into reality lane to be faced with the stark truth.
It's all in my head
Thoughts of you

I had Loved you

 I had Loved you  Beneath my every Brokenness I had loved you Not minding the hurts I felt from the edges you possessed You wanted me to bleed , My heart bled for you while gushing out pain You wanted me to leave my heart at the door and never request for honesty even when we did what lovers do Beneath my darkness I had loved you Not minding you had no light for tomorrow You wanted me to care less for tomorrow Tomorrow is so dark with tears blinding my eyes Beneath my every weakness I had loved you Not minding you were a weak and not worthy to be compared to the weakest vessel You wanted me claiming me to be my strength I'm still fallen You were Broke You were Dark You were Weak Beneath it all, I had loved you The scars of your love left me in my Brokenness The scars of your love left me in my Darkness The scars of your love left me in my Weakness Beneath it all,I still Love you.  🖤™ðŸ–‹

THAT COLD NIGHT

Image
A night with the moon shimmering down on her skin of perfect porclain, the spherical pool of blue, the gleam of stars rippling above its icy surface like pearls of light, a mesmerizing call to its admirer. The lake, an allure in its state of glassy frozenness, yet enchanted by the love and hope in those eyes. The pine trees whispered in sympathy, awed by the longing in the heart of the girl by the lake. The rocks, paying homage to a such dogged credence, so strong, as strong as itself, standing guard to the regal mistress with an undaunted heart. A mistress who could stand the icy bite of the wind, a woman who was unperturbed by the spooky sounds of the night howlers and undisturbed by the thought of lurking evil. A mistress who sold her heart to a man whose heart had been stolen by the sea, and yet she waited, waited for her sailor, waited for her sailor whose merry heart had forgotten his mistress. For the upteenth time, she stared into that cold night, a cold night with a

FOREVER'S PROMISE

Image
   You've heard about her, haven't you? The one they call forever. Her beauty is one you've never heard of or seen. It blossoms like a lily in harmattan. She's bright too, So bright that the light she emits blinds me when I look at her. How about you? Have you seen forever?     They say she made a promise. One I do not know. Do you know the promise? I heard no one knows. They say that's the point of the promise. No one knows what it is.    Is it good or bad this promise? Animate or not? No one knows, but hope is what we all do. Hope to be there when this promise of her's is fulfilled. We all like her-forever- we want to be with her Or better still, enjoy this promise of her's.     Some say they've glimpsed it, this promise. They say it's not what we thought it would be. They say the promise is draped in light, That this promise is so bright. They say forever holds the promise in her slender, long fingers. They say she fiddles with it, that it chang

THE WORLD IS FAKE

A MUST READ FOR THE WISE My money,  my house,  my  car,  my  children,  my  certificates,  my  job,  my  husband,  my  wife,  my  families,  my  clothes,  my  SHOE..... My !  My!!  My !!! What  is  this  life worth? A  man  was informed  about the  death  of his  father,  but  he  tarried.  When  his  father  started  smelling,  their  neighbours  took  his  father  to  the  mortuary  for  preservation. A  week  later,  he went  to  the mortuary  to  see the  corpse  of  his  father.  When  he  was  about  to enter  the  place, there  was  a poster  placed  at the  entrance  of the  mortuary,  of which  no  one  can  escape  it.  It  read: “ WE  WERE  LIKE YOU  BEFORE, BUT  WE  ARE HERE  NOW. ” The  young  boy read  it,  but  it didn't  make  any sense  to  him. He  went  inside, checked  the corpse  of  his father,  after  a  few  minutes,  he  made  his  step out.  As  he  was  about  to step  outside,  he  saw  another inscription  placed  on  a  strategic  location,  which
