ENIGMA
Space is positioned above all between what we feel, and what we see... The universe flourishes, between the void and the invisible... And it forms independently in the same way it has always been... I fear that man will destroy what he finds here, before knowing what is there...!...

Premium Member Saladin's Head
Under the solar system in our basement I sat, copying schematics of superheterodyne radios from a book on electronics, while my dad, across from me, stood at his drawing board illustrating advertisements for feed and farm equipment. The floor was painted blood red, the walls bandage white— a battlefield made tidy. The dehumidifier murmured its hymn beneath Saladin’s ceramic gaze, his turbaned brow inscrutable as my father bent to...

Premium Member House by the Sea
They hang like a beaded curtain in a fortune teller’s parlor, each buoy a bauble from the sea’s own trove— sun-faded, barnacle-bitten, unstrung from nets that once strained tides for omens. Now they sway in the wind, rattling secrets and guarding the doorway to elsewhere. Who dwells behind the curtain— a castaway witch, perhaps, who brews fog in mason jars and weaves seaweed into...

Midnight Enigma
Weekend's sweet reprieve unfolds in Lagos's vibrant streets, alive with rhythm and laughter, I stroll down alleys, searching for a place to rest my weary soul A lounge beckons, warm and bright pepper soup's spicy aroma wafts I sit, and soft drinks soothe my throat three ladies join me, their smiles bright dancing queens, they throw me off scale their laughter infectious, joyful Music's melodic whispers...

THE ENIGMA IN RED
[Verse 1] She walks in flames, a fire in her eyes, A riddle cloaked in mystery and skies. Too hot to hold, too bright to see, She’s the secret no one’s meant to keep. [Pre-Chorus] Every step, she leaves a spark, Lighting up the shadows in my heart. But I can’t reach, can’t touch the flame— Just dance around her haunted name. [Chorus] She’s the enigma...

Premium Member Maybe I don't understand love, an enigma that entangles my soul like a thick fog
Maybe I don't understand love, an enigma that entangles my soul like a thick fog, For in the moment I think I've found that person, reality slips through my fingers, When I feel like I love, it turns out to be just an illusion, a fleeting dream that unravels, And when I trust and love with all my...

Premium Member Is it Just a Dream?
The laboratories hum with cold efficiency, believing they command the future, their sterile corridors lit by the relentless glow of progress. A miracle, they called it—stitching together creatures torn from legend and nightmare, two extinct beasts merged into a single entity through genetic alchemy. DNA of long-dead beasts resurrected into new life—their ultimate creation: a...

Premium Member Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma
Let's say I am the woman you seek, a silent shadow, a gentle enigma, with a discreet smile and few words, a delicate presence that doesn't overshadow, you might think I am calm, easy to love, a fragile being by my very nature, but inside—God, inside I'm another story, another universe. Within me hides a coldness, an almost selfish...

Loving an Enigma
???You are a riddle wrapped in stormy skies, A puzzle box with ever-changing locks. I am the scholar who forever tries To understand your paradoxical talks. One moment, you're a sunrise warm and bright, The next, a tempest raging wild and free. Your mood swings leave me reeling day and night, A dizzying dance of joy and misery. Your rages shake the foundations...
