In the silence, where shadows drift,
In shock, the road I walk I cannot lift,
Each step a weight, each breath a sigh,
Chasing impenetrable shadows I cannot deny.
The looped-echoes of a past mistake
Whisper softly, making my soul shake,
A thick chain of guilt, a thread of shame,
Binding me to a particular prehistoric…
She thought he was the one, her heart’s desire,
A love that would last, a burning fire.
But he was just a lie, a deceitful game,
He played with her heart and brought her shame.
She thought they shared a bond, a connection true,
Because they’d both been hurt and broken in two.
She thought…
Chronicles of A Love Affair
It was the first time we made eye contact
The intrinsic initiation of our blossoming love
The beginning of an authentic romance enriched with compassion and friendship, resulting in it being sealed in the form of a devotional contract
Its purity was as brighter and whiter than a…
In a world where chaos reigns, we choose peace.
We are peace.
We are love.
We are unity.
We are one.
Together we stand in a place where voices echo restoration, and shadows reflect throughout our
journey.
Above us, justice and peace shine like the sun, guiding our steps toward a brighter future.
We dream of leaders…
I may be brought to my knees,
But I am not weak.
Though tears may fall from pain,
Frustration, and disappointment,
I will rise with a proud smile,
Filled with fulfillment, peace, and strength.
I may stumble and fall,
But I am not a failure.
Failure is not defined by falling
It’s about staying down.
And I refuse to…
A writer’s pen was my heart’s desire,
To weave tales and make words conspire,
But parents’ wishes, a different path chose,
A nurse’s care, my soul’s repose.
Yet fate had other plans, it seemed,
For business management, my skills beamed,
A different dream, a new design,
A journey unexpected, yet mine.
Though words still whisper in my…
Mama, you traitor!
Mama promised me a quiet holiday,
While he promised me a quiet night,
Just us and the stars.
Two days, he said,
Two days I’d promised him,
Two days at Mama’s village.
A land where whispers linger in the fog,
Where news travels faster than curious neighbors peering over the fence,
And where the thatched…
Excuses, Abuses, Refuses
Call her a Girl Child
Always new news of misuses and Loses
Call her a Girl Child
Denounces, Produces, Bruises, Cruises
Call her a Girl Child
Stop making a fuse; permit my reviews of the Girl Child
Call me a Girl Child.
I may be weak, but I bring forth a strong generation
Call me…
Dark-skinned girl, I am
Lived through the rainbow colors
Saw all the distractions
My confidence shaken
My mind swallowed; as a dark-skinned girl, I kept moving.
Dark skinned girl
A word of power
A power through my veins
A force pinning through
Shades of colour influencing my thought
But I remembered I am a dark-skinned girl
I kept moving.
Dark skinned…
POEM:
An African woman is a resilient being. Merriam’s English language dictionary expression for the word “Resilient” says it correctly. #she is able
Come hail or high water; an African woman can spring back into shape after bending. After mistakes. After bad heartache. After a life transition from almost dead to…
