SCARS Part 1




Last night, we had been too tired and too excited with our wedding, we had gone straight to bed once it was bedtime; my arms around her possessively.

Several times during the long night I had felt her eyes on me; they would flutter shut when I opened mine. At least that’s what I thought. I would watch her for a while, her breathing soft and slow like the gentle stirring of the sea; the wind of her breath caressing my face. Once or twice; okay, fine, more times than I can count, I had leaned in to kiss her small lips that seemed to pout as she slept.

    Excuse you! She’s my wife now.

“Good morning, Bill” I heard her voice, my eyes fluttered open in response. I had been awake already. I just hadn’t known what to do; I had decided to wait till she woke me up.

“Good morning, Sweetness.” I said, Well, our eyes were fixed on each other’s.

This was going to be my first time. I had a busy teenage and youth life, though spiced with a few girlfriends; it never really got to sex. I never did let it. I always wanted the first time to be with my special. And here she was. Nene.

I don’t know how but our lips were on each other, me straddling her, her hands around my neck .My clothes were in a heap somewhere on the bed, but she was still in hers and I wondered why.

 Nene. She’s really beautiful with the right color of brown, small, bright eyes and a matching nose with a small set of lips that she pouts when she won’t say anything. My weak spot. She’s very quiet. Too quiet sometime, I think. She has a lot of past: her step-dad, step-brothers and her ex. She thinks she has a magnet of ill that seem to tell people she’s a play thing.

“Are you ready for this?” I whispered to her. I’ve never seen her without clothes. I expect to see a map of scars and cuts. In fact I anticipate it. I took off her shirt. My shirt actually. She slept in my big white polo shirt.

    My heartbeat stoped.

Her body’s perfect. There’s neither a single cut nor scar. My eyes met hers. She turned away, looking at her fingers and playing with them. I was brimming with need and my body aching for hers, but I could almost touch her hesitation.

I got off her. The first trickles of tears ran down her left cheek, then her right. I lay beside her, taking her hands in mine. Our eyes met again; hers shining with held back tears; mine with need.

“You’re perfect, Sweetness. You shouldn’t cry. Any woman would kill to have your kind of body for her man” She broke the eye contact.

I ran my fingers over her clothless body, “See? No blemish, no scars. You’re perfect, Sweetness” She retrieved her hands from mine, turning to face the other side, her back to me. I couldnt help but check her out again.

And oh boy is she really beautiful. Her voice broke into my thoughts.

“They were careful placing the scars. They placed them where no one else could find or see them.” She turned back to look at me. Our eyes met again, then she lowered hers “They placed the scars on my mind”

    I died when I heard those words.

I took her in my arms. There wouldn’t be a wedding night yet.

What's Past

Image
A step in front leaves it all behind When back, it stays with you With it, all prospects are blind They never get to come true A day with it is like a night with no stars Where, you don't get to see what's ahead Even while looking up and forward But only beholding the darkness around you It is a companion, one so troublesome Who doesn't wait out the storm But comes with the storm And you may never move away, even when it comes Yes,What's past is gone and for good But you've got a mind to rule Either you stay mourn its departure Then someday scream mea culpa!mea culpa!! Or look ahead, preparing for the future. Written by Daniel Etim Model: Nimi Ngiangia

Continued from part 1.                                  If you missed part one, click    here I fear that I let them do it to me.  I fear that I gave them avenue to use me, to hurt me.  Deep down in my heart a voice says "no you didn't "      Bill says "no you didn't "      But it's obvious, isn't it?  After mum remarried when I turned fifteen,  that was when the self stabbings and cuttings started.  I think I gave them the cue.  Mum, a career woman was rarely at home. According to her,  she remarried for me. So that I can have a man figure in my life.  I was always left with mum's husband and my step brother.  That was when the blood began dripping and the smell began seeping out.  I bet they could smell it.    Dad,  as I had to call mum's husband,  raped me.  It didn't seem like a rape to me though. Somewhere in my mind I had anticipated it,  schemed and made the setup. And it seemed he had  walked into my trap,  even when h

Silence sweeps the sky And birds hide in the dark The stars like diamond dazzle And shooting lights they sparkle The wind it sweeps the sun and moonlight fills the heaven The stars shine all night long Just as the clock strikes seven The trees dance to the wind And grasses bow in awe The crickets chirp in the field As fireflies astound all Now your eyes are heavy Just as your eyelids quiver Shhhhh listen dearie, To a night time poem that's mine

Tasting tear drops (part 1)

Tomorrow, it'd be second August again and Mary will go out to China town. She'd buy herself some beautiful Chinese lanterns and all sorts of decor she can remember. Each year, they become less because of her amnesia. Then she'd stop by her favourite Chinese restaurant and buy everyone sushi. Dad will help take out everything in the garage and she'll set up her decorations, it had become some kind of ritual, one that only both of them understood. She'd set up dinner table for two and she'd place two seats. When the clock strikes nine in the night and the star lights are in place, for some bizarre reason, there are always star lights in the sky on the second of August. Its as if even God understands that the night lights are important to her. She'd dress up in a beautiful dinner gown and come downstairs, and dad as always, will take her by the hand and walk her to the front door. Once she was outside, she'd hug an imaginary figure and point to the sky.
