Risen from Ruins




Time goes, tick and tock,
Not to pause, not to stop,
Not a moment to be a friend.
Not to care of how i do.

Tragedies strikes, ship on the wreck,
Hope and life all to sink,
But greater heights my heart is set,
So the struggle not to die.

Risen From Ruins , the day is come,
When crown shall be for crosses;
Blessing for curses, boom for doom,
And medal worn around my neck 


Poem by: Her Excellency.

You! A damsel in distress All you sought is approval  You built a wall around your heart Plagued by your insecurities He cleverly plunged his way through Mirroring your every weakness. Just when the die is cast As if he said "open sesame" You broke your walls, and lowered your guards. He sweeps you off the solid ground Leaves you floating in the air He wraps your body in pulsating grip Pleasures you in ways untold You have found the one you think. You let everything else disappear Click here to read "Battled" He said the slum is his favorite place So you left your daddy's palace He says you're pretty just in red You comb the malls and markets Taking every red in sight He says you're everything gold Just he likes them fierce and bold You throw that coyish girl away You Cinderella now Sasha Fierce You desire to keep your man He says he likes the show And so you puppet on Soon the show is over Your darli

December, 2018 Nina reflects over her year. She’s determined to make a better next year. Are you? I know. I said the same thing last year. The goal, the end of year resolutions - and yes I said things would be different. And I had a lot of analogies to prove that this year would be the year. I know I flopped again. I was not going to get back with Ken. January first he was in my bed necking me. My bad, I forgot to change the locks. He has keys to my place. And boy I couldn't stop him, even as I was sprawled there under him, moaning, staring at my goals and resolutions pasted just opposite the bed. I didn't even stop him when he asked my consent. I was going to join a church. I don't know what happened. I just couldn't bring myself to risk appearing so religious. My friends. My Mum. Arrghh Start to volunteer at the teens’ facility next to my office. Boy, work was hectic. And Ken. He's always so demanding. And exhausting. And &You, a volunteer at a tee

Important men care routine

Image
Model: B-Slik Dental care is essential Use a good toothpaste. It's essential to brush twice daily (after breakfast and before bed) after eating. Visit the dentist and floss regularly. Use a nice body lotion Having a smooth, healthy and good looking skin is important as a man. Always use a suitable bathing soap, and body lotion. Note that body lotion is not just for ladies. Use a deodorant /antiperspirant and body spray always. Ever heard that "it pays to smell good? " Well it actually does. Bad odour is always a turn off. Men tend to sweat a whole lot, and so there is a tendency that bad odour would develop due to bacterial action on sweat. Men deodorant are usually made to be more concentrated and intense than female deodorant, because men are more prone to body odour. I advice men to use men deodorant and body spray. Dress well and look neat It's important to dress well and always appear neat. Consider the weather w

Letter to my father

Image
Hi its me again, remember me? the sperm that shot up your darling wife’s uterus. The wife you promised eternity. Hi its me again, and I damn well know I have introduced myself but let me eat my cake and have it, or I can’t have this too? like the happiness you promised us that ran further away the moment you told us of his visit. For the third time hi father, remember me ? I have replayed this scene in my head over and over and over again, the look in your face and the speed my heart would run. I have just one question, I know you would be expecting more, But I have just one. Do you regret having me? having us? getting married? And yes I know I said just one but goddamn it, with how many strings you have pulled, how could you expect just one. And yes I see your hands clinched by your side, but I dare you.. I God damn dare you to lift one finger on me. this is not the child you once pat to bed or the little kid that whimpered when you picked up your belt to teach a lesson Hi

My night time poem

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

MISSING SCHOOL GIRL

Image
I cry, I cry but who does hear these tears? the wind, oh the wind I look up in despair. This unending nightmare is more than I can bear. But all I do is stare, but my heart makes a wish. I look but I see not I listen for that holy call the part where I yell freedom at last and goodbye to my hurting past. Could my day have grown past? Could my night have long last? If it be the light of dawn that I may perceive again. With fading hopes and visions my dreams they fizzle out. With only little provision this might just be my last. I cry in the face of destiny I stare in the face of hope. Now left in teary lingers how much more can I cope. A virgin yet a mother a maiden yet a widow. My voice; it screams for help My heart; it burns in tears. Oh! how they cut my skin My flesh is now for dogs. Oh! how they eat me daily just like a bowl of pods. I cry, I cry but who does hear these tears? The wind; they mock me daily the bird; they sing my doom. The days; th

Tasting tear drops (part 2)

Image
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. Tom bought her flowers every time he came to visit and soon they started talking about the future, I was thrilled and inspired, my depressed sister had finally found her Prince charming, and their love had finally transformed into something beautiful, oh, the power of love. They both graduated from college and began dating, she quickly found a job and so did he. Marriage talks were on everyone's mind and fi

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
