The Heart of a Woman

When I see a Nerium oleander, in it i see the heart of a woman. An oleander is one of the world’s most pulchritudinous and deadly plants, and so is the woman’s heart; extremely pulchritudinous and deadly.
YHWH was and still is the greatest architect which in tells that he impressed and impresses the greatest plans on his architectural work. YHWH created everything else but still felt a part was missing, after stomaching the situation, he master- minded the heart of a woman. 
So delicate is it, to devote.
So humane is it, to provide.
So enduring to deducing and so lenient is it to loving.
Not every male leader runs an organization, a family or a nation without the touch of a woman’s heart. The touch of a woman’s heart is so magical in a peculiar way such that it completes the equation of everything.
Not so innocent, the heart of a woman is also a solvent that mixes with any kinds of solutes to form both healing and toxic solutions.
The touch of a woman’s heart also works in a magical and peculiar way to complete the equation of everything evil.
So delicate is it, to becoming jealousy, obsessive and possessive and hence;  
So conniving is it, to convince. 
So swift is it, to break another heart and so forthcoming to do anything evil to obtain anything it so desires.
I would not be surprised if Lucifer’s entire heart was made up of just the ugly part of a woman’s heart.

Queen Vagina Wept

“QUEEN VAGINA WEPT”
Queen V governed her 
monarchy for decades with 
utmost discipline. Her subjects 
helped in making her look like a 
blameless and mighty god. 
Every male leader envied her 
government and hoped for her 
decline with utmost pleasure.
At the drop of a hut, just like a 
treasure that once had extreme 
value and now can be picked on 
the side walk without charge her 
monarchy became. Again her 
subjects played a huge role in 
making her look foolish.
The monarchy was a 
confinement which had 
everything within it. All subjects 
were born inside and were only 
able to be seen, touched or 
tempered with once they 
attained the age of 25 and only 
by a specific type of people.
SHAME! Who does not know 
how these subjects look like?
SHAME! Who does not know 
how their touch feels like?
SHAME! Who has not tempered 
with anyone of them?
Almost everyone has enjoyed 
the warm company of almost 
every one of these subjects.
Looking at the number of the 
remaining few loyal subjects, 
the queen wept.

Am I Dreaming

AM I DREAMING
Momentarily, I stop and freeze 
every worldly movement and 
activity. As I consume myself 
into each one of them I ask 
myself, ‘am I dreaming?’ my 
mind moves to and fro the 
realm of imaginations and 
thoughts laboriously 
endeavoring to overhaul its 
wondrous question, ‘am I 
dreaming?’ 
I slice myself off reality, while 
floating in space my mind 
engulfs reality and all earthly 
entities and puts them under 
ratiocination I still hear a voice 
whispering from within my 
head, ‘am I dreaming?’ 
I then start to analyze all 
environments and focus only on 
those preponderating. I look 
and penetrate my eyes through 
impenetrable penetrations, and 
I begin to see, ‘is this realistic?’ 
I ask myself. 
I see blameless bloodshed, I 
see sin in its whole ugliness 
pouring out of people’s mouths, 
I see envy in people’s eyes, I 
see extravagancy, and I see 
impoverishment and its twin: 
penury.
I stand still and maintain 
silence, I hear a roaring noise, 
and I ask myself what it is. It is 
heavy blustering winds both 
from east to west and west to 
east acting as a transportation 
medium for sinful noises, I hear 
ill words from the east, I hear 
blasphemous voices from the 
west, and I hear 
misconceptions.
I hear and see offensive insults 
and figures respectively, they 
shake my whole body vigorously 
and I feel like waking up 
abruptly because of the terror 
and horror in my dream. Am I 
dreaming?

Dear Lord

The rains of impossible and 
unbearable are falling,
Dear lord, I need a shell to craw 
in.
Death, disease, suffering and 
unrighteousness dropping on 
people’s heads
Make me like a tortoise with a 
shell oh lord to brace my head.
The rains of impossible and 
unbearable are falling,
Dear lord, I need a shell to craw 
in.

Love Happens

Boyfriend, girlfriend: that is 
what they are known by  
They promise never to say to 
each other goodbye.

They call what is between them, 
love, 
But does it last a quarter their 
age for them to have?

“Oh, let me warn you, sisters in 
Jerusalem, by the gazelles,
Yes, by all the wild deer: don’t 
excite love, don’t stare it up,
Until the time is ripe and you’re 
ready.”

Boyfriend, girlfriend; if you have 
me queried,
Love just happens.
                                 Alva
