Reverberations

Image
Written By Peace Eneja. I can still remember those words you said to me, I still feel them piercing through like the sword used to end Klaus Michelson. That wicked sword, more painful than death itself.  It all began smooth and I was optimistic. I believed that life with you was going to be all sugary like icing sugar and nourishing like a smoothie. I wish I was never so hopeful, so optimistic, and so positive that things were going to work out perfectly. Guess I was dreaming too big; my mum used to tell me..."dream big, there's no limitation to what you can achieve", this time I dreamt way too big. Maybe I was stupid, actually I think I was...blinded by my heart and deceived by the "happily ever after" cliché, I should have used more of my brain, maybe both my brain and heart together.  I am angry with myself for letting me fall for you, for all the pieces of us I tried to put together so we can become better, for all the questions I sh...

A Mother's Hope

Image
Written by Peace Eneja The Joy of your birth Has never left my breath Even while yet in the womb You healed so many wounds And now my child… You have just begun a life My duty, to guide you As you are just a kid Forgive me my child If I ever go wild leading you My aim is to see you soar Shielding you like a mother hen From the hawks of life. That devours the best part of you Not for you my child And even now I wonder What thing that you ponder Right in that little brain As the future whispers its plans to no one But I believe in the best for you my child Like a firework You shall rise, spread Beautifully lightening up the sky You are my life You are my child.  

Pride

Written by Ojini Adaobi  Why should it be me? Why all these accumulation? Why is this so mean? Why is there so much misconception? I can’t do this again It gives me so much pain And yet with no gain Oh pride, how can you be so high Even with the inward struggles so nigh You don’t want to do this And a closer look shows it's all mist Why am I struggling? With no ground for grumbling It's all pride Parading itself with so much stride.

The Mind

Written by Ojini Adaobi It is so deep and limitless Even with the beep and facelessness There was no unraveling On the way travelling To the world’s unknown And I looked and none to behold  What could be that stronghold That keeps turning me around Even while on earths’ ground It seems I’m on the world’s beyond Can I go on to the next world? Without uttering a word It could actually be done Suddenly it's all gone Wait it's right there I mean it's still here Right there and here But it's all obscure and blind  Because it's all happening in my mind.

The Irony Of Love

Written by Peace Eneja They meet at the park With eyes wondering Glimpse by glimpse They caught each other staring Like teenagers in love Ready to explore each other Could it be lurk or love? For the mind is a concealer You  never know its true thoughts The rushes, the kisses Only last for the moment Before it leaves its chameleon skin To be revealed But notwithstanding they dare Each step they took together Shinning through With so much flare Bearing in mind The possible disaster Yet still hoping for the best Regardless of the pain Still remains some gain Because no one can truly live Without having a taste of love Bitter or better!

Life

Written by Ojini Adaobi It all begins as a foetus Going on with so much pain  And then it gets to nine months There the babe is quietly lain We are marveled at the wonder It seems like a puzzle to ponder But it's all real Because it's all from God who thrills! Now , he’s all grown and settled The man in him is drawn to nestled Again, he begins to fade The world’s trees couldn’t provide a shade Here, there’s a final breath The foetus has left the earth To the world beyond Loved ones tears we see in the world. 

Time

Written by Peace Eneja Before I'm late Tomorrow awaits my fate Yesterday is gone So will I too be gone But hey! Wait I have to live a life To  "drop"  a legacy And time isn't enough! Before I step out It had taken off Oh! Please wait But no it's gone! Like an athlete on a race Now I have to hurry To catch up, maybe Time, Time, Time Travelling without a stop I have to think of something Today I swear to  "make most"
