Her
Her, Let's talk about her, She's always so bright, or it's all about the sight They way she loves, despite the other's bluffs When someone says her name She keeps them without any shame One day I asked her, what does she want Said, I have some wishes, can someone grant To be the one, whose taken care of As I am soft,...

Morpheus sent the vision toOneiroi

His restless mind found him trouble he dreamed of him being on a horse along side a woman on her horse with ice-cream...

Dweller of Our Heart
Within the dark, before the day, A golden spark will find its way; Not borrowed light, nor fleeting flame, But one with which the sun’s the same. It warms the marrow, stirs the soul, It makes the broken pieces whole; Through weary hours, through every start, It dwells within our beating heart. When shadows press, it will not fade, It stands where deepest love...

Orpheus In The Undergrowth
"As the greatest of all poets and musicians, tho' you may call me 'liar', Hermes may have invented it but I perfected the lyre and with my music and singing if only I could see the forest for the trees I would coax the woods to dance for me but, on the other hand from where I stand, it appears to be, looking at it from...

Endless conflicts
I'm torn between two distant worlds ~ one steeped in wickedness and sin, the other pure and righteous; my mind drifts like oil on water. Alluring is the glory of heaven, promised if I remain pure and holy, yet enticing is the frivolity hidden in jollity they call "sin." My mind imagines the afterlife the Bible depicts, yet I savour worldly pleasures my flesh...

WHAT IF LOVE IS A MYTH?
Love is kind. Love is patient. Love gives. Love understands. But what if love is only kind until it teaches you to kneel for crumbs and call it a feast? What if love isn’t perfect not because we weren’t but because fate crossed our paths when we were meant to grow apart? They say love is giving but what if I gave too much until I forgot the sound of...

Premium Member Alice was never a girl
They called her Alice, but perhaps her true name was Smoke, rising slow and silent from letters never sent, from altars crumbled beneath the cold gaze of forgotten saints, from lips that kissed her only to still her breath. She did not fall. She transcended. There is a sacred difference, between shattering and choosing the void. She stepped beyond the back of her own reflection, where silver fractures...

NGWonders
In Nigeria’s heart, the wonders shine, From Ogbunike Caves to Yankari’s line. Farin Ruwa falls with power and grace, While Owu’s waters dance in place. Olumo Rock stands strong and wide, Idanre Hills with age and pride. Obudu’s mountains, calm and high, Where Niger and Benue rivers lie....

From Chaos to Order
At first Chaos became from void borne, And it stirred the primordial mass, Before Earth or the Sea or the Sky, Had a reason to moan or comply, Then did emerge Ananke above, Who did give a primordial shove, Become inevitable to change, So, the Earth and the Sky be arranged, And then father time emerged from muss, Fair Ananke said that there is...
