Keep The Family Close.

Sometimes it takes death to occur before we realise we should keep the family close,

As a matter of fact, keep the family much closer.

Death is only a reminder it would be us someday, hence our work here is limited.

Breathe taking away in what seems like a moment,

Not of silence but of agony.

When one of your aunts that genuinely loved you as a son dies,

Though I was distant, still was a relation that assumed his role.

How do you console your cousins to the thought they'll never see their mum?

How do you tell your dad to pull himself together over the loss of his sister?

I guess you'd probably live with the guilt of holding a childish grudge against her,

But knowing you so well,

I'm sure you'd barely flinch at that thought.

When bitterness is soaked in thy heart,

The sweet things of life become far fetched.

Out of the heart, the mouth speaks.

And though life's innocence was taken away even before you knew what it meant,

By someone deemed to be a superhero,

But all villains don't wear capes neither do they hide behind a mask,

But usually, have a smile on their faces like the Joker.

Maybe that's why I can never take you serious no more.

Forgiveness is an integral part of life,

It's written in the Holy Book.

It takes the mercy of The Lord for such act to be done.

The day a child realises that all adult are imperfect, He becomes an adolescent;

The day he forgives them, He becomes an adult;

The day he forgives himself, He becomes wise.

And I know someday my time here would be done,

Because what's life if there was no death?

Someone has to die to turn the prince into a king.

I pray to The Lord, His bosom will be my resting place,

I pray to The Lord, I live out my dreams before I transit.

I pray to The Lord I die with memories and zero regrets.

1AM

It's 1AM, As I think back 5 hours ago, Watching grown folks indulge in the idea of marriage. Such a beautiful thing when its true essence is given, However the case, The reverse isn't the same. I felt like a bird on a mountain top, Looking down with a vision of that of an eagle trying to see what I can get from it. I listened as they rambled about adult jokes. A soothsayer wasn't needed as the drift in class could be told. The song on the radio is sung along by a wife, With lyrics that seem to shred fragments of the heart. A beautiful voice but with emotion and pain littered around it. The rest said their good nights to their spouse over the phone. Standing over on my balcony as the clock is 17 minutes away from hitting 1AM, Lonely as hell, But somehow I find confidence and comfort when I seldom let my thoughts run loose, Days when they are controlled, I seem to run low on the double C. My heart seems like an uncaged beas

See every time we went out, Everyone noticed you and kept me at bay, Like I wasn't there. I hate when it happens. I know you're well known across these lands And I'm just a foreigner, On Strangers tide. Often time, I'll play the buster girl, Doing the who is? Call me crazy, Call me jealous, I call me greedy, But all I wanted was, The strings of our heartbeat in perfect accordance, To an unheard melody. All of you, And all that was in your heart was my desire, Felt like it was too much to ask. I know I had gone astray, And I needed a second chance. Who doesn’t? It looked hard, everything was against me, Even my own shadow was. The face I thought that shinned brightest, Couldn't create a spark during my dark times. Guess I figured why I was mostly kept at bay, Just a little too late. We were untitled.

December 6th (The Raconteur)

Words can't basically describe how this day ended, It felt like roll camera and action whereas it wasn't scripted. We all didn't come to this world to enjoy the fancy things, were her exact words repeatedly. It felt like a familiar stranger talking to you, Indirectly telling you your worries and giving you the solutions to them at the same time. It felt like a messenger from God, Similar to the ones we read about in the Holy Book. I felt bottled in her ideology but I wasn't too deep in it. She said, We are God-like, since we are made in his Imagine, And each and everyone of us has a purpose on earth, Depends on if we actually want to fulfill that purpose and if we say we don't wanna do it, The Most High has replacements in abundance. It's pretty much you could be part of the greats but you really aren't relevant. The human form is weak, Even Jesus Christ couldn't bear it anymore whilst on earth, "Father l
