EYES
I have veneration for those idiosyncratic and adornment eyes.
Her eyes implicit the endurance of consternation of rancorous war between Palestine and Israel.I forgot how to conjure up the image of her face ,I just remembered those eyes. In the corner of her eyes had gossamer of tear which no one can descry. Her foppish look doesn't match with the abode of passion (to change her world) in her eyes, the eyes which where garrulity more than her dry lips with stoic expression, though the face expression were irascible, but the eyes told a different story. It is jibe to not to get engross in those eyes. I just remembered those eyes.....

HERE'S THE LIGHT
Here's the light
Warring it has come forth
Rusty armour shines
Ascends the fallen blade
The ragged cape is in rage
Cut to the chase, is this a dream
No, this is the dream
The coup of the light
Light, I was waiting for

A World Apart
Chapter 2

After Sinzo leaves me all by myself I couldn't help myself but think of her traveling down the memory lane to the first time I lay my eyes on her.

I have never believed in love, nevertheless in love at first sight but from my own experience it felt like an arrow went right through my heart then.

It was fine hours in the morning, still cold, a little sunlight and clouds, dragons roaring and feeding their kids and the kindred beasts back to their homes.

I was playing with my pet dragon 'Azure' a beautiful long white dragon with deep blue eyes. I was still trying to bond with him, I got him last year in the dragon forest and man do they grow fast! He went from one feet to nine in a year.

He still throws me off his back whenever he wants to, bites my hand whenever I feed him and sweeps me off my feet with his tail for no apparent reason. I started to think he hates me.

Something similar happened that day, we were flying past a gate of spirits zone and then he threw me off his back, I fell right to the ground, the good thing was that we weren't flying too high when he dropped me, the bad thing was now I'd have to walk back all the way to my home and man that's a half day walk.

After I put myself together, I saw her, sitting there is a corner, her head bent on her knees and then looking up at me with confusion and apprehension. I would have loved to talk to her if I wasn't locked into my place in her dark black eyes and the locks of her wavy hair.

I couldn't move so I kept staring at her until finally I could find the strength to move. I moved towards her and in a split second I realized she wasn't one of us, she wasn't a magi, but a human!

Maybe in a parallel universe depression doesn't exists.
Maybe their ain't no suicide victims,
maybe "happy" is a word with no opposite.
Maybe rapes are zero and humanity's alive,
maybe selfishness is not a term there.
Maybe in the parallel universe people are hopeful,
having reasons to continue, a tomorrow to look forward to,
where families don't hide their secrets and friends are not fake.
With no broken hearts where love is only beautiful.
Maybe everyone understands everyone in that world,
maybe cries are rare to their eyes.
Maybe people don't die of poverty and maybe animals are let free,
the air is clean and the ozone layer is not harmed,
where humans are actually "humans" and smiles are not forced and hearts don't ache in pain.

But in this world, this is how we live,
"In a series of 'maybe(s)' "

If covid never came

Just like another game you came into the state, Nigeria. We let you in and we av been dealing with you ever since, we thought you would leave it's obvious you'd picked a nation in our state. If you had never come;
I would sneeze without people looking at me like am the death herself
I would dress in my usual way without covering my mouth like it stinks
I would use my hand as I choose to, with no exemption,
The world won't have been withheld not to talk of limitating our freedom of movement.


I miss the days of uncountable sneezing blessings.
I miss the days of partying 7pm till dawn
I miss the days of hand-shakes, hugs, kiss her on the face.
But now all I get is unfriendly glaring, even our brothers overseas are strange visitors
If you hadn't come I wouldn't walk about with mini suffocation and;
Thousand families would be happy or more than
You just changed the whole vision 2020 game plan...

Both love and hatred are not neophyte for each other because -
"When a man learn's to love,he must bear the risk of hatred".
Harbinger of hatred are pique,cry, fight, inveigh, depression, imprecation whereas the harbinger of love is exuberance, warmth, tenderness, lubricious, fondness; which extant together (love and hatred) by ingesting each other.
Both hatred and love are countervail that can't be hew.

Let me cite (you) the hardihood of the bamboo sap.

Once a farmer grew the saplings of bamboo shrub and banana tree, he was at odds with the bamboo because it takes six months for the shoots to come out from the ground whereas the golden egg, epithet for the banana earned him a lot of profit. He demurred with apathy the imminent advantages of bamboo over banana.

It is indeed a tideous task to nurture the saplings of the evergreen grass turning into a full grown tree.

It requires a prodigious amount of rainfall which makes it a tropical plantation.

After the stint of meticulous hardwork done on the tall tree, making its way above the abut ; it refuted the inedible limn of feckless banana, who provided one-tenth of the surplus amount of interest than the other, haemorrhaging the business of the callous banana owners.

To encapsulate the above narrative, I would like to state the old Japanese aphorism:
*THE* *BAMBOO* *THAT* *BENDS* *IS* *STRONGER* *THAN* *THE* *OAK* *THAT* *RESISTS*.

Hold along the time will come,
Be my sun ,be my sun;

The stars ask the space,
The moon has got his place;

The light illuminates the moon,
With the sparkling evening noon;

"I don't know why?", despised the callous stars in exuberance with the nemesis moon,
The lamp lights in its silver shoon.

BLOOM
pliant pink or the ruthless red
prickly paling or the thorn in itself
spring flattery or the hauteur sprout
emblem of beauty or the pride itself
for the queen or the knight himself
thrown at the weeds or the weed iridescent
Bloom-how'd you bloom
like a flower or as the wildflower instead

A world Apart
Chapter 3

I have always been told to stay away from them.

'Humans destroy us!' That's what I have been told every single day of my life. My heart hammered harder in my chest, I was so terrified that I felt like my soul was going to leave my body any minute, the voice in my head screamed, run!!! but then she spoke

"Excuse me mister, can you tell me where am I?" Her sweet voice calmed me down like a bucket of cool water on a very hot day. I took a deep breath and then I replied

"Before telling you so, can I know who you are miss and how did you get here?" I ask her fumbling across almost on every word, not sure if that was fear or what?

"I am Naoko and...." She hesitates
"And how did you get here?" I ask again politely

"I... I fell into a well." She tells me hesitantly almost as if making a lie on the spot

"Ok!" I say not probing her more, her eyes looked sunken, her lips fallen, she looked sad

"I can help you out of here," I offer her

"C'mon," I offered her my hand so that she could get up, she took it, her touch made me shiver, her hands were cold.

"I know a place, a few minutes away from here, it will send you back to your own world." I told her and she looked at me in surprise

"My world?"

"Yes, human world. You are in magi world right now. When you fell into the well a dimension gate must have opened there at that time and you landed here, ofcourse timing couldn't have been perfect otherwise you could have been hurt badly" I tell her feeling every single word of it, I'm glad she wasn't hurt. But at the same time I speak so fast that I don't even know if she followed what I said.

"The timing couldn't have been more imperfect" she whispers sadly

"Why?" I ask her surprised

"Because I wanted to be hurt!" She yells

"But why!?" I ask her seriously taken back

"I jumped into that well on my own. I wanted to end my own life. Been living for twenty years and I have realized that there is no place for me in this world, in anyone's life. Nobody loves me or cares for me and it doesn't matter to anyone what happens to me. All I am is a waste of time and space to the world so I wanted to end it so that I would not come in anyone elses way" tears roll down her cheeks as she says these words that cut through me like a knife. I wanted to solace her, but how, I don't even know her and as much as I want her to stay here I know she shouldn't. And so I just look at the ground trying hard not to wipe the tears off her face myself.

I thought we survived
but you drenched me in your drama.
I thought we loved each other
but i was illusioned by your forgery.
I thought I was your everything
but you made me realise i was worth nothing.
I thought I was falling for you
but it was the poison you poured into my mind
I thought you were my knight in shining armour
but you turned out to be nightmare of my dreams.

I'm hooked to this journey , but there is distraction that swam like bees . Sometimes I take that three seconds decision to take ownership of me .

There's tinger of whispers that is playing in my head take a rest , come on relax it's under control . Hmm zoom ahead hours are wasted with a stearo regret .

I have been disappointed to some people because , my work eithics is terrible . It's needs to be worked upon.

We chose to be fools,
didn't we love?
We've broken our hearts, countless times.
We've carried the lies, under our hearts.
And as they build, they're killing us.

Have I told you about halima my roomate
More to the point about her Friday rituals
How she dabs her pointy nose not less than twice after she's done beating her face
Her eyelids lined like a sicKle, a farmer would be envious
The gleaming red she paints her lips with.
That she struts out and comes back when the day ends with a knowing smirk on her face
Do you know how often I got stopped ,she beams with pride she can barely cocnceal.
With widened eyes she parrots,"Too many to count"
Then comes her cackling .
Is it jealousy, is it hatred, that I put crushed werepe into her powder
I just want her to dance a little next friday.

*werepe- velevet beans (it itches whoever its used on)

I listened and obeyed them,
But I was lost ,
I listened to them,
But I was never heard,
Then one day in I left,
Then I found myself.

Christopher Paxton.
Warsaw. Poland.
English is not my first language.
Review is appreciated. Thanks.

They've labelled me "heartless"
But i say it's your fault
To make you my princess
In the darkness of your cold storage vault
You've labelled my heart "priceless".

Trust

For thousands of years they talked,
They lived happily,
They loved,
Then one day he lied,
Then she was never the same.
He searched for her,
Years and years,
But never found,
And he may never will.

Brain wander fecklessly which demur every action reaction to why, what, when, where..
Don't bother to cite someone,it has many things to remember.
It got epithet as apathy where he refute heart's feelings.
The heart has feelings which can't be encapsulate(few words) where as the brain has meticulous things which can't be encapsulate(envelope)
They both (heart and brain) have a abut of feelings and thoughts.
In the imminent duel between them we may haemorrhaging the soul.

The things, I tried running away from,
Why I have grown a liking towards them???

Those smell of courtyard, and those windows of the room
That time it felt like clenching me from inside
But Why am I remembering them today???

The place where we had to forcefully lived ,
Those urges of travelling with friends,
And that haul from mum for going out,
Heaven was felt outside, while I was trapped in hell
The same heaven now eats me up every time
And that care in moms scold, why are they being missed today???

When even a single word from others was felt like piercing my ears,
Always claiming others wrong and proving myself right,
And then those words used to become complaints or pun with friends,
Why those complaints are becoming my own regrets now???
And Why that every word is ringing again in my ears ???
Why am I missing those words today ???

Wasn’t aware of the cruelty of the world then,
And always used to think of running away from the home,
Always used to curse myself upon gazing outsiders,
And those lonely smiles for the dreamy future,
Why those smiles now seems to be lost somewhere???
And why that every footstep now scares me???

The mother’s lap from which I had got tired of
Now, I am craving for her lap again today,
The things, I tried running away from,
I have grown a liking towards them again today…
