You came to me
like the butterfly,
beautifully fluttering
your colourful wings
to pollinate the flowers
in my love garden.
But then you left sapping
all my nectar the very
essence of my being.

-

My heart is a graveyard of
lifeless memories and
shrouded emotions each trapped
beneath the stones of a hollow tomb.

So apologies, if it feels so numb for
all it now knows are shrill silence
and the putrid smell of decaying
flowers creeping through its murky walls.

-

is waking up to the warmth that ushers in the dawn of a new day and the freshly scent which betrays the leaves after a blissful romance with the morning dewdrops.

-

Mountain makes me
believe that if you
want to soar high
and touch the sky,
you have to keep
your feet strong and
stable on the ground.

-

I unheard everyone when they warned me that I was only ripping myself apart trying to fix you.

-

you made me
mix my dreams
in your palette
of grey promises
and then turned
around to complain
that I painted your
world in monochrome

-

Your relationship with God
defines your other relationships.
Seek him first!!!

-

On some nights, his young desires
blossom with the rising of your bosom.

On other nights, he lies on my bosom
and whispers to me his innermost desires.

We are not the same sis.

Dear Ezinne,
Please can I call you Ezi,

-

Of late, I have forgotten how
to converse or make a golden
bead of words. The distance
you created between us keeps
growing, swallowing up my
every syllables. And now my
throat aches from trying to
exclaim them out to you.
