A prayer for you who isn't mine...

I closed this chapter, and I did. “Yeh, fitoor mera by Arijit Singh playing in the background”. When the sound hit its peak, I smiled. You came to mind. Ahava. I looked to the ceiling, I reminisced about the moments of my silly desire. Wanting You. So I began; ‘Dear God’. Again I am crippled with this sensation, A want, of a precious time called Ahava, Ahava that is not mine. I'm not asking you to make him mine, I don't think that's your will but my want banging loud adrift. I pray he i...

The Heart Speaks...

Out of the abundance of the Heart, the mouth speaks, out of the mouth, flows words and affirmations, words that could kill a man, words that could edify and bless a soul, Will you pick up a weapon or a blessing today? ~phaizee #God

Eternity... A moment in waking

Aiôn- Eternity Crossroads, Two roads and one destination, If we take this path, We may part or we may collide, It boils down to the decision, What steps shall we take? Ahava, I've asked God countless times about you and now I have some closure. Your smile still gives me butterflies, your beauty still captivates my heart but now I know that you cannot be mine. I look at you, your countenance so divine, however, I cannot help but wonder where your heart lies. Pondering while my heart grows fond...

IN CHAINS...

I cry because the people are in chains. I cry because the people are grooming themselves in ignorance. The ones I sent to bring them to my fold have lost their way. The fire I ignited has turned up cold. The vessels I made have become empty. Is this what has happened? Empty gongs in the lord's Temple? Who will go for us? Who will bring Eremos back to the fold? Light to the lost souls? Who? says the Lord of host. Till then I am forever in chains. For there is a place I must go to, A word I must...

Lost...

Lost, In a room of a million voices, Too loud to speak, Too loud to think. Mirrors all around, replaying my past, Replaying my lies, Lies of who I was, Lies of who I wanted to be. John 3:16, With this word, my hazy eyes could see, Bask in the glow of God's light from the beginning of time. Time, a pencil in his hands, Love, unlimited, free to access. In him was peace, And in him at long last... I was found. #poetry

Timeless...

Blue, That alone was my drowning mood, Blue, Moody but still clinging onto God, my hope. I felt thrown and cast out, A deep hollow of trying to forget my sorrow, An ice cream confidence lifted my spirit as I tried to hope for a miracle. Whether being or thing, I needed it. Red, Sipping a little mischief, a little wonder, Red, A yonder mind on the path of curiosity as to what lies ahead. White, Unveiling the curtains, White, Pure, innocent a daydream. White, He made everything light and beck...

God

God is everywhere. in the trees that dance, in the wind singing in our hair, He brings peace through nature's piece.

My superwoman

She wore the patches but yet adorned me with glittering robes. Not that she couldn't afford it but that it meant nothing when it came to me. she was my rose, she pricks but adorns too. I remember the shouts she gave in my head, in a way it kept me from being misled, I remember the corrections she gave, it made me see life through a different lens. I remember her silent tears, Those moments were the worst. She hid them from me but I could see right through them. The way she handles situations...

🔁 Ossai Favour ReCircled

#poetry YEARNING: Why? They say we will understand when we grow older... The world is so cruel. Like the breeze, snatched you too soon. No one told me to prepare for this... How do I cope? I thought that every story had a happy ending... What do I do now?! Another Surprise! What more do I have to expect? I thought all broken glass never hurt... Now in a pool of blood I lay. Oh! Why so cruel? I want to hate the world but how I'm I suppose to? Everything reminds me of you. From the sky blu...

🔁 Ossai Favour ReCircled

I have arms for wings. I want to fly, fly so high to the sky... Although these wings have be cut down to the ground by the scars gotten from lost battles. I have feet for tyres for speed, I want to race to the finish line and claim this victory you see, Now the tyres are worn-out and tired. I have a mouth as my loudspeaker, To put forth my thoughts to the world. however, I've be silenced in the heart and thus the words dare not speak. I have the means but can't put them to means. Like a fligh...

🔁 Ossai Favour ReCircled

God, Me and the World Born into a world of deceit, I was told to never accept defeat, thus I hallowed in self pity and pride, like a peacock, still learning to fly higher. My happiness were directed by words. if I was told to smile I would, if I was forced to cry, I would make a river, A puppet without his strings is like a bird without wings. These words became my strings. The world played games with my mind. In a trance I was, I thought all my efforts left miscarriages and polluted success...

A... FALL...FROM...GRACE.. As an adult I thought all my words held the final say, And even though it seemed like I could be wrong I felt like I was to judge. People gasped at what seemed to be 'a perfect life'... Pride settled for a spin as we danced and sang the days away. The day it all fell into place, pain pierced my chest as my words had now placed its curse, 'Obedience is better than sacrifice' they said, My decisions had two timed me and as I looked at the mirror... I saw black, Thi...

Arise oh compatriots! Arise! Thy light has Come. It is time to stand and obey. Can you put your strength together to become one? In love? Our ancestors are weeping, They see the river of blood. Corruption has caused a ghastly accident! We are wounded in our heart and our faith. Has the giant of Africa fallen? "Las Las all na cruise". When would we stop the facade. The blame game has been a hot seat, Who do we blame now? The government? Colonial masters? Who? We want change but cling to our d...

How long can you wait?! I have been weakened in body by the world, Scarred by the lies of the devourer. I wept, I looked up unto the hills, From whence cometh my help? I wait on the lord, This journey to Eternity is narrow, The destination seems far, For as many who wait on the lord, Their strength shall be renewed like the Eagle. Thus I come daily, To stay, Lie at his feet, dive deeper, In my Potter's hand, I will stay until I am no longer clay, Until I am formed. #poetry

Today I woke up, Not on my own but with the Lord as my power button. I do not take the lord's grace for granted, In him I get my strength to carry on. My country is filled with noise. So much noise that I can't think, Cries in the streets, Scars on their bodies, Smiles snatched forcefully, Frowns trespassing their territory. The human race hanging by a thread, Given in to their fears, Lost hope and broken dreams. The lord has not Forsaken us, After the storm indeed comes the sun, After the...

As an African girl, I have learnt a lot. To wear this skin tone with pride, To be ready for battle at every angle, To love the texture of my hair. And to keep the African spirit alive. I am never to forget about the sacrifice of my forefathers, The pain, disdain, struggles and undying hope. This is the bane of being an African girl to me. Civilisation, the knife to Africans. 'He' threatens everything, the customs, traditions and everything we stand for.  Still I must adapt, Still I must cha...
