Àríké
Walking down the streets of Odínjo
And then you called my name like it was yours
Mesmerised by the sound of your voice
I soon forgot I was tired, lonely and lost
Rays of hope shining on my path
Blood rushing through my veins
As I wondered what you'd look like
In my head I painted so many pictures
But every image was short of perfection
Not until I saw your reflection
An aura of grace and love with precision
All embodied in this vessel whose worth is invaluable
And then I heard again, this time softer and milder
My name is Àríké.

A gift you are, so geason
You came into my life,
Painted it with colors of your soul
Sprinkled fragrance of your warmth
And with you I felt safe.
But it was short lived
You left without goodbye
Like the flames you disappeared into the air
And all that is left are memories
Of the sweetness your grace.

Sometimes, it's hard to sleep with so much pain in ones heart
You realize how much you miss someone you don't wanna talk to
It hurts more when you don't wanna be spoken to either
Silence thicker than the dark, filled with emotions of bleeding heart
The sun will rise again, bringing healing to our broken hearts
I hope when this happens, there will be remnants of love enough for us to share.

So what do you want
For me,
All I want is to be able to look into your eyes
And see your light so pure
So when you say it's rainy,
though the sun lingers in the cloud
I wouldn't mind stepping out with my umbrella
Just for your words sake
And you, what do you want...
What do you want

What if
What if, one day you decide to walk away
and like flames, disappear into the thin air
What if, on the morrow I wake up to an empty bed
and all that's left is memories of you.

My Faith
I wanted to take sides with the devil
Wasn't scared of going to hell, at least i knew where I was going
I never would pledge my allegiance to a God of uncertainties
"Do this and that perhaps in his mercy he might accept you in paradise", So we were told.
But they were wrong and I was glad
You gave your word, "shall never perish".
For a seal you gave your spirit.
Alas! You're not mysterious, desiring earnestly to be known.
You took our form in your majesty
What you'd done and will do was what you did.
You paid the price in full,
Announced my freedom and victory
How'd you loose a battle you already won?
How'd you loose a soul you bought for so much?
It's either you lied about it being finished or they lied about knowing you.

This post doesn't aim to judge anyone. Neither does it intend to define gender roles or be sexist in anyway. It might seem to be a myopic view of things. But it's just a fleeting feeling that emerged in the heart of someone who scribbles to stay sane. So if it triggers anyone in any way, just scroll ahead.
For a man,
everything is a conquest.
So when he has your heart, your love, your time...
there's nothing left for him to fight for.
And therefore he withdraws.
Leaving you alone.
Whereas for a woman,
everything is an opportunity to nurture
and help it grow.
So when she has your heart,
she yearns for trust.
When she has your love,
she yearns for a home.
When she has your time,
she yearns to share a life.
