A fix dubbed love

-
What other color do I wear?
How do I uncover the facade of yesterday
Beneath the mask of Friday?
How does the color of my actions
Not clash with my parade of expressions?
I stutter within my streaming tears
Where exactly do I begin this story?
I sniffed back boggle Still you were blind and deaf
 Beyond control, in rage;
Even my flesh couldn't be spared from more
More of the bruises you imprinted.
 A demonstration of love, is it?
And you ask me to stay. what for?
To bear the pain?
Why will I?
When I have my place of solace.
A light; the womb of many colors;
 That place deep within, untouched and untouchable;
 You profess love, but is it?
Or a gradual process of death?
A very very selfish and obsessive mind.
That's not love.
 Its just you wanting to take by all means
And rape your way through, Just to boost your ego.
But does it help?
Without all the charade, what's left of you?
Go look in the mirror.
 U want to get high on me?
I will rather wear a different color than give you the satisfaction
That fix u need, is it fear that gets you on?
Or is it just the pain?
Either way, I won't give it to you.
Scar me all you want. It will only change my shade.
I will numb my senses, numb my mind; stay untouched!
I am borne of many colors!

Can I see the war?

-
There's a war out there that doesn't care about my feelings or struggles.  It is a war.  Its aim is to destroy. Frodo and company were chosen irrespective of their grievances.  They had to put sentiments and grievances aside to fight a common enemy. The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless. We must never forget that our fellowship was beyond us;  but divinely orchestrated for a purpose.  That should be enough for me. Again, The key is together. An agreement. A fellowship. The Body Else, the purpose of the company is lost; and we be earthly praised but eternally useless.

THE BEAST IN EVERY MAN

-
The beast is in every man All it waits for is an opportunity to present itself And the other side is manifested. It's so easily suppressed when opportunity is far Yet easy to point at another and criticize When his own opportunity is near. But time and chance happens to every man. What is in man will be made manifest. I have made this mistake far too many times. You have insulted me far more than anyone I have known. I can point to your speck because I have conquered my log. I have seen the beast in me and it is easy to recognize in another, even if suppressed. It is the way. The only way. It is the way of love. It is the way of empathy. It is the place of wisdom. It is never the place for knowledge. Knowledge still has a lot to learn without knowing it does.  Knowledge is light that has not become one with you. It is selfish. It puffs up. It thinks its way is the way things should be done. This is why it will always think it knows, and seeks for the praise of man...

The longest 2 weeks

20/10/2020 The date many will not forget in a while. A very significant date to many youths in Nigeria.  That was the day I put to bed. In the midst of that chaos, I had my own personal crisis. I had a c-section. And it was successful. I had my husband with me through the surgery.... I heard your voice telling me to stay awake. You said it repeatedly, "Babe. Please stay awake for me. I beg you. Please don't go to sleep". And you held my hand and soothed my forehead just to keep me calm. And it was all I needed at that time....or so I thought until I saw the tiny being that was just extracted from my belly, wrapped up in a green cloth and screaming at the top of his lungs. Then, I knew there was always room for more. All I felt at that instant was love and gratitude.  The wait to reconnect with you and the baby was a totally different process.  And then not being able to move for almost a whole day didn't make it any easier. Little did I know what was to come.  There ...
