THE CRUSHES CAME CRASHING!

THE CRUSHES CAME CRASHING

This write-up expresses someone's journey from a seemingly never ending feeling to a well groomed state of maturity.

A journey to realising oneself!




.

Without further ado, let's dig right in;


Back then on the stairs, I was daydreaming,

Still really don’t know exactly what I was finding,

Coming in through the door, it looked like I was falling,

I was seeing tho’, how I was fast losing grip!

.

It didn’t matter no more, who was calling,

My heart was open in the midst of a feeling,

It was like quicksand, it looked like I was sinking,

In the real sense, I really was losing control!

.

There and then, I felt my heart bleeding,

It was in an open field, hail was falling,

To me, it looked like from the inside, I was ripping,

Right then and there, I saw my hands leave the helm!

.

A season of pain; a period of losing,

I had had enough of this faltering,

I took off on a journey; my feet finding,

It wasn’t until then that I saw;

That feeling wasn’t really love!

.

Thanks for reading!

DEVOUR

"Mummy, I don't know when you will stop this act, we've said it over and over again, that a Sunday afternoon meal isn't one to waste time on, we need a quick one, moreso there's a program we need to attend in less than 2 hours....." Blah blah blah, on and on I went expressing my displeasure with my mom's doing. Well, don't blame me, at least not yet. Here's the situation; It's like a family commitment that we normally do not eat on Sunday mornings before church, I know most of y'all don't too.. So after the service, what's usually on my mind is the fastest meal that can be made, so we can all satisfy our bellies. But my mom chooses this particular day to cook time consuming delicacies all in the name of changing our taste, so it isn't much surprising to find Mummy trying to prepare a swallow to be eaten with the most complex soups there is- on a Sunday afternoon. Now the thing is, apart from the long process, we still have to b...

BACKSLIDDEN

. It's really been long since I posted here, well I was writing a couple of exams so I had no time, but now I'm back to work here, thanks for bearing with me. It means a lot! BACKSLIDDEN It was a bright morning, A Thursday, so sunny, He woke with a yawn, Not like a newborn, Mid-sixties, stinking rich, His name, a palindrome, There's a lot of them wealthy Germans, But very few could next to him stand! And not many got to simply call,'Otto' . Leader of a conglomerate, Never slack at any rate, Never drank, didn't smoke once, Absolutely fastidious, Yet, as nice as his living standard was, His life was a mess, He no longer had joyous moments, His delights were gone, His problem wasn't at all a hex -at all, But even a baby will agree, A broken home's no sight to see, Divorced and left with a teen, A boy always wanting to leave, and with no bit of love for his dad, Otto never foresaw such, in his heyday, his view on marriage was; All wives should be Stepford, A...

PULL ME OUT

PULL ME OUT The darkness is deep here, Eerie noises deafening, Pungent smells choking, The whole place suffocating, But there's some light I'm seeing, To reach the source I'm trying, My whole body I'm stretching, But It's just out of reach, I'm finding. But If what I see is real and true, Then in there are some people. Are they in oblivion there, To my existence here, Or just don't wanna help out? But If they once were here too, Then they should want to, But Whatever the reason has been, I still dare to harbor hope, Not giving up yet, no! You can reconsider and respond to my muffled screams; Pull me out! Pull me out! . Mark.16.15 And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. [NLT] . Stay Blessed!

THE TONGUE

THE TONGUE That night, before John went to bed, he read from the Bible, Moses’ flaws due to his temper and he prayed for grace to hold himself back and not be easily angered. Seconds later, he was gone, soaked completely in the ocean of sleep. Of a sudden, John was no longer 8 years. He was now a man in his late 30’s, already successful in his way and married too. His wife, Rebecca, who he called Becky for short was a gentle woman, the type that doesn’t worry her husband. They really loved each other, naturally, just like milk and flour. All was going smoothly until that day… Before this fateful day, both of them had been expectantly waiting on the Creator for a child but Becky hadn’t taken in yet. On that day, John was visited at work by his uncles; the only two brothers his mom had. They brought news on how miserable their sister was and how it was his fault, how she was dying gradually and hadn’t seen her grandchildren and how that was Becky’s fault too. Well, if I, the narrator of ...
