"I own nothing and owe nothing to anyone. Am I liberated or still the thought of liberation is holding me back?"
|
In the stillness of your mind, the noise fades, the masks fall away, and your true self quietly emerges
|
Colorful memories still remind me of times without solace
|
Some days are unbearable. Today is no exception. The pain is still there, the disbelief remains, yet somehow, today is better than yesterday.
|
How many years I have been with poetry? And yet I still write to the beat of different drummer.
|
Love is like an anchor; holding us still through all the storms.
|
'... When they come they run from me, but you still comfort me, knowing that they'd come for you...'-Circles
|
The white beauty, peace and stillness of snow
became a spiritual awakening to rest my soul.
|
“The heart is made not whole by that which it receiveth,
Nor by the soft laudation of the fleeting world;
Desire must perish, ere aught of keeping leaveth,
For that which is still entreated anon is hurled.”
|
In the words of Diana Ross, "I am still Supreme."
|
"Nothing breaks clean.
A stone dreams.
Still—you rise.
Again."
|
If you make boring cliches rhyme, they are still boring cliches.
|
Still, I remain. because love in its rawest form, is not gentle. It is a tether that bruises the skin, a chain dressed as devotion, a prayer whispered into nothing with the desperate hope that nothing will answer.
|
The problems you'd like to have are still problems.
|
What could be worse than being dead and deprived from making a difference? Don't let your mistakes weigh you down, stand up and do the needful immediately.
If you're not dead, you're not done.
Greater things are still to come.
Don't walk again in the path where you tripped and fell in hell.
The bleeding Pen.
Blossom Monyei

Why can't I sleep on time?
Is it you, who's on my mind?
I let you go, but still think of you.
How do I let myself find be free?
|
"The hardest prison is not walls, it is the heart that still waits."
|
Trick your mind and the world will follow you all the way to the asylum. You could be there now and all this is in your head. I'm visiting, wondering if you are still in there.

In the silence of the night, a kiss remained still in the depth of dreams

You can always tell how successful a man is when his divorced wife still bears his name. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
Clothes and laws were invented by man. They both cushion his animalistic tendencies. Strip him of the former and he’d still be a man. Strip of him of the latter and you’d see the animal in him. ~ Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu

With selfish and corrupt leaders still evolving in Africa, the continent will get darker and darker, even by daytime. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
God lets us choose! The indecisive nature of man's soul why it has taken so long to move on to the the next stage of blessed evolution. Free Will does not mean simply making choices -- 2,000 years from now we will still be in the same spiritual rut, maybe living on radioactive islands, but nothing will change until we decide to change our rebellious, destructive consciousness. Christ never left us...the Christ in us, the Holy Spirit with us, is our salvation in the palm of our hands.

My mother was not a woman. She was the reason poetry still works.
|
My mom believed in miracles, but still salted the pickles just in case.
|
Depression is that state of mind when you’re called upon to give an account of your death while you’re still alive. ~Nkwachukwu Ogbuagu
|
A silent scream unheard still carries the weight of a thousand words.
|
You shimmer still within my dusk, a faded gleam in memory’s husk.
|
In the stillness after sorrow, a gentle flame of love continues to burn.
|
When you’re just an option in someone’s life, they’ll overlook the value of your presence, no matter how rare your heart is. True worth is only seen by those who are ready to cherish it, not by those still weighing their options.
