Being in love with love

While sitting thinking about life, I remember what I read in one of my favorite books about love and how it is the force that set everything in life on motion. Then I realized how amazing it is if we can actually make love our love. Instead of loving your car or a designer clothes to feel loved or perhaps loving your spouse or children, you can actually focus on love.  I'd rather say I love love rather than saying I love you to someone that wouldn't appreciate the common phrase. Sometimes living is the love we need. We just have to open our heart to get a full grasp of its beauty and privilege. 

The Cursed Love

your love suddenly became a curse I wrap in my poetry for the fame you chase was still running behind you you pained my conscience for a coin worth nothing then I beg for your kindness stupidly kneeling for your madness all in vain. when I stood and left, you were shinning lik e a crystal in the sun then I wrote my poem in the ashes of my heart. I poured our my fears In tears. You still pester me Your absence never makes me rest I warned you over and over  To let my peace reign. You're now famous and rich But my love was your source And now that the day is dawn And your love flicked in grace  I've helped myself get it erased.

Freedom is as cheap as air To y’all tender little birds You fly as soon as you are cracked To a place mother never took you Though your wings are still weak But divinity will protect you from danger And even after you've flew beyond your strength You are still better off any fowl on ground For you've felt the breeze from the top And to my tender little bird If you're caught in the trap of mankind Challenge your strength and fly higher Never compromise in front of weapons.  And make sure you fly before you fall

My Africa

What path do we tread? What lesson do we learned? What pleasure do we gain? From the death of our brothers, People we walk in the dark together. If not for ignorance, And insensitive belligerence, Why should I spill a blood? Of my siblings because of envy. We used to be friends Through the hard times. Let's write a history With love and peace, The heroism of the past Displayed to build today. Let's walk on the path Laid by our fathers For a black is sane To rule and lead his folk Shall we fight our contempt, Prac tice love in hope, Whether in South or west, Shall we understand we're one. Let's tread gently To the mountain built With sweat and pain Of men with brains. Africa is one Irrespective of  tongues, Our color might differs but collectively we're blacks. Let's uphold our pride In the unity built with trust Our fathers suffered a great deal For us to survive today. Let's open our arm To embrace...

THE GOLDEN PEARL

In the land where pride was a culture and glittering, their elegance existed a golden pearl. Since dreams were associated with children, the little pearl was hungry and curios to search for adventure and secret of the world. Her mother told her not to be in rush as the world, in the meantime, would reveal itself to her. One day, the powerful current of the river moved them to the most dangerous point in their environment: the tip of the river. The little pearl saw from afar a fierce fire burning so high. She asked her mother what it was and her mother said to her, "That is the messiah of every Gold." If you want to experience the usefulness of your existence, you must be picked by a hand and be willing to dance through that fire" "The process of transformation is quite painful and terrible however, if you want to unleash the essence of your beauty,  you must surrender yourself to this ritual." The young pearl, after the day she saw...

Take risk and trust your ability

Your instinct is your closest god. whenever your mind is telling you to shoot amidst resonated echoed voices telling you not to, just go by your inner voice. trust your mind. you will get instructions putting you back in discovering your talent, however, you still have to think beyond the box result won't come if you can not take advantage of the unsaid words of instructions. Train your mind to take risk. While it is tasking, it is as well rewarding. And always fight till the end for your victory to be invaluably incredible. There is no limit to what you can achieve. hashtag

MOTHER

I know a woman who started her life with a basket of tomatoes. she's a literati with no formal education yet, she earned a certificate of excellence in leadership. she's found worthy in both learning and character. she doesn't wear suit but her cloth is a drape of sacrifice and perspiration. I know a woman that wasn't like other women. she's just herself and  simply symbolic. she's the woman in all women and belongs to everybody. I know a woman, not just a woman but a woman that gave birth to all women. she is the reason humans multiply. We all call her generically a woman but her essence in life named her MOTHER .
