Here is what I think about love














Love is like a journey
It flows through various paths
Sometimes it feels like honey
It makes your heart throb fast.

You may have some euphoria
And even lost in thought
And then your eyes will flicker
The teasing sign of warmth.

True love it knows not envy
It keeps not hurting past
It fills your heart with merry
Forever it does last.

They say true love never dies
But this am yet to know
And true love they say don't lie
I'll know this when am old.

LISTEN

Image
Listen. To the tale of my mind The sound of hope. The voice of truth You can discern Only listen. Listen. To the memoirs in my eyes You better envisage And let your heart descry I guess you'll simply grok Only listen. Listen. To the whispers of my heart To what I might not say It doesn't cost a thing Solely save the stress Only listen. Listen. To my utterance for help. The voice that is denied. Why wait to respond. Abate all false remark.. Only listen. Listen... And only understand. You ought not speak a word. But heed my dashing phrase Rather than arbitrate Only listen. How pleasant the world would be If people only try To hear and comprehend Rather than just reply Only listen. Poem by: Joy Ngofaa

Scars (Part 2)

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 lik...

Continued from   part 1   Then one day she met Tom and they became friends. He was a junior and normally such friendships were short-lived because people begin to say things and you tend to think they are right. But not them, Tom didn't seem to care about what people said, and she didn't have friends so no one said anything to her. Tom was working wonders so we welcomed him into our family with open arms...dad absolutely adored him and so did I.            Their friendship blossomed into something beautiful and every weekend they ate at a particular Chinese restaurant.

They both graduated from college and began dating, she quickly found a job and so did he...

Picture Book

I'm flipping pages. Flipping and fliping and flipping. Then one stops me. It's recognition that hits me actually. What's her picture doing in his diary? I remember that dress, then that night... Recognition pokes me in the chest again. Her legs are spread wide. And her lips have that bright smile. 'Slit' I mutter under my breath, my heart burning underneath my skin. I scan the writings on the page I found the the picture. I scan and scan, and read past a lot of words until I get it. No! It gets me actually. This was what he wanted me to see? To read to him? To swear to keep? Guilt stabs at me. Guilt at thinking he would ever cheat on me. Even if he did, I well do deserve it, but he didn't even On death bed, he still wanted to help.  He has always wanted to help, all his life, all his sad little life. "What took you so long,  Beetle" He's asking as I sit with the diary in hand. He has that youthly smile. The one that got me that firs...

Memoir of a Writer

Image
I've learnt alot lately, More than the strokes of my pen can relay Its like awakening into a new, fresh viand of truth. A fancy in which my fixation finds root. The world is a mirage. I discovered that the person who makes fun of others Just to feel good and special is as inferior as The person who let's those words get to him I've discovered that the world in general is starked With inferior people who can paint black white And make right look wrong. I see this everyday. I also see people who feel By following a crowd You earn fame and relevance An unscrupulous people Who trade tomorrow for today A taboo they do for a lark I'm frantic about this because it drills pain Through my heart's core That no analgesia can relieve I discovered that being morally sound Does not make you a person Neither does being immoral make you a better person. You see, the world is just a fuse of confused people Trying to gain worth by morality or im...

SCARS Part 1

Image
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 ...

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....
