All I want

All I want 
is be wrapped up in your arms
surrounded by the warmth of your love
piercing deep within my soul
All I want
is the embrace of your love 
curing my wounded heart
Like an ointment upon my broken skin
finding every hidden piece 
All I want 
is the safety of your coll
the soft whispers of your breath
that keeps my soul at peace within

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

Extracurricular Activities (Part 2)

Image
Continued from  Part 1 Your head is still spinning round and round and round when you come back into the class. You ask everyone of your pupil to sit in their chairs and put their heads on their desk. The school is against such system of the kids idling away while they could be doing something, but you need the break, you try to convince yourself. Your face is buried in your palms on the table, your eyes shut tight, but the images keep flouting. One and two and three at a time. You keep hearing the voices over and over again. Lifting your head from the table, you put your hands over your ears to stop them from coming in. But they aren’t there. They are buried in your soul. And then you hear his voice, your life coach’s voice. He’s saying;               ‘ex-you were in the past, is- you are in the present, t- you will transcend to the future, that means to ‘exist’. But you want to do more than just exist. ...

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.

Miss Take (Part 1)

Image
When mama asked Sam to go to the store opposite their house to get her baking powder, neither her nor Sam knew their life was about to change. "I'm doing homework, mama” Sam had replied. “I'll cut your mouth if you say that to me again” Mama retorted. “Will you leave that seat now and go get me baking powder before I make you?” Mama said, her voice a whole notch higher. Grumbling, fifteen year old Sam closed his note to obey his Mama. He stretched and yawned as he stood. He had been sitting for an hour and some minutes. Sam was one of those teens that went to school because he had to. He didn't hate school, but he wouldn't say he love it either. In fact, he thought nothing of school. He just went because he had to. He had one year left before graduation, then he'll head for college. He looked at his wrist watch, the one his girlfriend, Jane had bought him when he turned fifteen. The time was 3:15pm. His girlfriend, Jane, for his birthday, had ...

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.

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...

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....

FIRST KISS

Image
My first kiss I remembered like it was a minute ago.  It was terribly fierce,  It took all of my will First, I rejected  But his arms brought my body to the heat of his.  This was it, his eyes met mine and all I could see was unraveled mysteries  I took his minty breath in as my oxygen  And as his lips nearly touched mine, I closed my eyes slowly to hide my doubting fears.  My soul was all for it, but my body fought relentlessly.  His strong arms built like a machine ,relaxed every contraction within my body.  He was the king of kisses.  He just needed me in control,  But I was like an untamed animal Wanted out of the cage.  With his hands, he caressed my face First my lips, to my cheeks, then slowly  He moved down to my neck and gave me tiny little kisses. I mourned and all I could whisper was "stop" But like the king he was He knew his subject had succumbed.  H...
