Dear daughter, The first day I thought of you as the sun, came with early thoughts of your feet finding funー In life around your orbit, exercising you innate joy for the love of flowers. Lillies – a scent of your smile when your cries became a usual morning chime. If I had described love […]

We are many- Called by words that no one describes. If there’s any- They were buried with the language of the tribes. Nobody learns the negro song. It is chaos, the hate from people young. How to escape the darkness of skin, Where colour is an unforgivable sin. Somebody please hide my shame. We are […]

Trust It smells like the bouquet of red roses that i have never received . It tastes like Aname’s “lazy stew” on a hot friday night. It sounds like the instrumentals of the song “nirvana ” It feels like a desire that can be reciprocated . It looks like noeL all dressed in black and […]

What is left is a lonely hill, Naked and broke out of her mind. Her colour is lifeless, her beauty is ill. The land is empty, nothing to till. No water, no moss, nothing to find. What is left is a lonely hill. Her loudest noise is a broken will. Her merry was wrath that […]

Earth completes the piece to this Ruby cubes, just live like the tree, Orange or Apple. When giving tools, God gave the woman […]

Maybe we should never remain the same. Like the water in a fast moving stream, We must move to meet with the bights we claim. We must grow, hit the tracks to build up steam. Allow the torrents treat us unfairly. Take blows below the belt that feel extreme. We must choose to be, and […]

Open the door and shut it back behind. Collect everything that belongs to you, If endurance will make you lose your mind. Life wouldn’t nod to everything you do, It’d conceal your good to reveal your bad, And smack you in the face without your due. Trees grow when often water we would add. Anger […]
