Among an arcade of arching willow,
multiplying in clusters of lilac confetti.
Enchanting petals droop from twin stems,
tantalisingly diffusing an alluring aromatic scent.
Hardy climbing vines, cascading from above,
yielding a timeless grace of floral splendour.
Sparkling in sunlight with leaves of khaki, i
testament of enduring spirit of flora.
THE ROOKIE
He said there is no “GOD”
She said it might be true
They, “both-in-one”, recounted scen-a-rios
To explain the stand He-she took;
I was sooo hard on rocks:
And where was HE!
I sooo needed him when my loved one was sick:
And where was HE!
I fell, real hard, and needed an Anchor:
And where was HE!
I cried, so hard, because I thought I was just a Patsy:
And where was HE!
My mom and dad broke-up:
And where was HE!
I was going wayward, with no conscience to tickle or trigger:
And the same….
Where was HE!
Then it Dawns….
HE! Is and was there….
Always, in everything…
In the Good and Bad,
The beautiful and ugly,
The preferred and disgusted…
And,
He-She understands,
I “am” and “was” a
ROOKIE!
In life-experiences
In my suffering- Perhaps!
In my “ardent” search for HIM; and
For answers….. Thus,
HE’s there and truly EXISTS….
BY ASANGALISAH AKANTERE ISAIAH
His journey is done
His part didn't play
His scen didn't shown
His destiny didn't ritch
He was my supportive cast
He was made to give me a shorts happiness
Miscourage I hate you
You took my son before birth
You took my pride
Oh dear God what have I done to you?
Why did you decide to take Nazareth away from me?
God I was hoping to cary him
His day is Done
its probably not true
im not that important
but it makes me giggle
and feel happy
my delusion is this
its narciisistic
yes
that some prophet way back predicted i would exist and be extremely important
that wherever i went the people around me would always be on the scen
and the world was hired to protect me
that i was the safest person on the planet
but im just black mailing myself
as if the prophecy about me was torn out of every book
to prove he was accurate
as they spy on me and my life
