Spiritual Dilemma

I hear his voice calling out loud Rolling my name around his tongue Seductive whispers, a softness that's hard to resist Yet loud enough to drown out all other voices Of reason, of sanity, of maturity and spirituality A jealous lover, yearning to have me all to himself To hold tight and together, explore forbidden lands Blanking out all consciousness; my mind his prisoner Lust blinding my vision, so he's all I see.   Seconds of rationality tell me to halt and revert Retrace my steps and keep to the straight path A path of righteousness that'll gain me eternal favour One void of regrets, disgust and shame But I give in to the temptations of my flesh Subsequently owned by that which I own Desire overpowers me, the voice of reason fades God's forgiving nature, I take for granted As I get closer to my short-lived pleasure.

Complicated Melody (Response)

If she were a colour
she’d be a deep shade of ruby red
a passion bed of roses spread around pillows of forest green
sinking through a light screen of crystal light
if she were a number she’d be a ten
a mother hen tending to the young...the not so strong...
if she were a car...she’d be the Shelby GT500
cruising on tarred highways of pure delight
she’d bend around tight corners
and still carry that proud traditional beauty
with only one passenger’s seat to cruise with her...
covered to shield from the sharp pain of sunlight...
with an engine that roars as it soars on the wind

if she were a song she’d be the soulful sounds of jazz
deep from Africa’s bowels
mixing and blending the beautiful sounds of thought with the joyful sound of the sax
driving anyone who cares to listen...

IWD 2013: Take The Promise

It's March 8th again. It's International Women's Day; a day set aside to celebrate all women in the world, irrespective of their backgrounds and differences. We celebrate appreciation, respect, love and admiration towards women. We equally celebrate the numerous achievements registered in the social, political and economic spheres among others. "A Promise is a Promise: Time for Action to End Violence Against Women" is the theme for this year's celebrations. Somewhere in New York, activists and supporters of women's rights are gathered for the 57th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women. Discussions revolve around the priority theme: Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls. Earlier this year, the world witnessed the greatest movement of feminists and supporters on February 14th, demanding an end to Violence against Women.

Yours Sincerely

Valentine's Special: Broken

If broken rocks and glass and things

Can be the shimmering bed of oceans

Then I can be like strings for your fingers

And you can make me lovely

 

If the dawn is drowned by shadows

And the water is dark like the sand, like the birds, like the trees, like the air

I can color your bland evenings

While we remember what it was to drink sun rays by the river together

 

We have been weathered by many storms

Into a subservient mortal romance

And instead of bursting through the cracks

Of the rocks when we crashed

We lost momentum

Watered down

Until our tears surrounded us like a stillborn stream

But I beg you to unearth the divine love

That can set us ablaze again.

Talibe
