Hi there everyone! I hope all is well? This pass few years has been hard on some of us, if not all of us. Yet with the grace of the heavens we still manage to be pulling through. All I have been doing through this time is penning out my pain as a remedy to pass time. I will be returning with new materials for you all to read and indulge in. Continue to stay safe, keep praying in these trying times.
Light and love to you y’all!
I survive everything meant to destroy me,
Yet, you’re the one I couldn’t avoid.
Like a victim, ailing from COVID-19
I have quarantine this pain,
Isolating all these disoriented emotions.
Like David vs Goliath,
I had to fight your giant of a love;
Though it appears I have won this battle,
It turns out I have lost the war.
You sold me a dream,
Then delivered me a nightmare.
You’ve acquired a front-row seat to my suffering,
Only thing remaining is my inevitable death,
And I can see the changes.
So much that I don’t face myself in the mirror,
Being Stephano DiMera;
Our situation was young and restless,
I felt like Bo from days of our lives,
I thought I would never lose Hope.
Being around you was the source of my strength,
Of late it felt like you’re kryptonite;
My weakness.
Fatigue taking over,
I hallucinate on the hour.
It feels like I am being persecuted by an unjust love,
Tortured by a heart that gave you its trust;
And I am at war with my whole being,
For nothing works in accordance with each other.
Now, the future I saw in your eyes,
As become this cursed reality I have to live by.
I wanted us to chase the stars together,
Using their connection to lasso the moon,
I am left to watch them go up in flames.
I blame myself,
I shouldn’t have given you more than your weight.
Now, the burden is overbearing,
And I am left in this miserable state.

So the haitus I took was much longer than I had expected, nonetheless during that time of self reflection, I have been working on two manuscripts simultaneously. Each manuscript upon completion will take on a life of it’s own.
The first will be befittingly titled DRIED ROSES; this book of poems speaks on matters relating to the pains and woes of being in a toxic relationship. With each gem that is penned the reader will be able to relate whether he/she has had similar experiences.
The second will be befittingly entitled UNORTHODOX MUSING; this book of poems will take you into world of an underserved youth, where anguish, frustration, death, Injustices amongst other things are ever present. With this book you will live through his eyes, die and be saved.
So be on the lookout for these upcoming collections. But before I go here’s a sip, a taste of what DRIED ROSES will be offering;
ABATTOIR
Her personality; abysmal,
An acerbic one
and like
acetylene It gave an ache,
And I was a sheep
to her abattoir.
My death came quick
and painless…
Then I was forgotten.

I have been absent from my blogging it’s not even funny. I am back though, after going through a tidal wave of life, love and family issues. To my fellow bloggers be on the lookout for my new and exciting works. I do hope the New Year has been treating you all well.
I was taught that the pen is mightier than the sword,
So I forged my pen as if it was a formidable blade.
Like the ones used by the highlanders,
Each thrust creates metaphors,
similes and alliterations,
Sometimes a bit of analogy and repetition.
paper being my shield it protects my words,
For writers block is a disastrous monster that attacks from every corner.
I don’t fear for my ink spilled thoughts will tear it apart.
