I'm Sorry

Sometimes I act crazy
And say really bad things

I yell at you
I push you away

I give you killing looks
I hiss loudly at you

I pretend not to care
When you feel hurt

I throw a tantrum
Just to have my own way

I refuse to cook for you
When I am upset with you

But remember you love me
Remember all the things
You say you love about me

You love how I snore softly
When I am fast asleep

You love how I smile happily
When you walk through the door

You love how I moan
When you kiss me in my secret places

You love how well
I fit in your arms

Remember that I love you too
And all the things I love about you

Remember your arms are the only place
That I feel safe in

Only your kiss can ignite my fire
Your hands leave me trembling

Your voice is the only music I know
It lifts me up, it soothes me

I love how you care for me
When I lay in bed sick

How worried you look
When I shiver from a cold

I love how you smile with your eyes
When I say you are my world

I love how you gobble up
Everything I make for you

How you laugh heartily
When I say something funny

And how serious you look
When you tell me I mean everything to you

How lying with you
Being in your arms all night
Gives me the sweetest peace

Forgive me, baby, please
For I don't want to live without you

I love you, sweet darling
Please, love me back again.

Of Dreams

I know that I am dreamy and that the kind of love I hope for may be unrealistic but I'd rather believe in my dream than to sigh and make do with what is available. My dream will keep me going, will make me wake up every morning exhilarated, will make me ask myself eagerly, "Is today the day that I will find him? Will it happen for me this day?" For what is life without questions? What is love without completeness, oneness? So, I would rather keep the hope burning bright in my heart than to wince inwardly when I say "I love you" and I know it is untrue. I would rather tingle from love scenes yet made than to bite my lips to keep from screaming another's name as my 'make do'  makes love to me. I would rather grin in glee to anticipated conversation than to listen to him half-heartedly, the ears of my heart straining to hear another's voice. I would rather be alone, hoping for the kind of love that I desire to find me, than to live unha...

Choose Right

Someone once asked me, “How can you still be so tender, after walking through so much hurt?” And I answered, “It is precisely because of the hurt I have walked through.” Pain is a teacher dressed in shadows. To some, it becomes a poison that corrodes their spirit, leaving them cruel, bitter, and unkind. But to others - to those who listen closely - pain becomes the chisel that carves out compassion, the fire that tempers the heart into gentleness. When you have sat alone in the darkness, aching for a voice that whispers, “You are not alone,” you learn to be that voice. When you have longed for a hand to lift you from the ashes, you decide that your hands will never push another soul into the flames. That is the sacred alchemy of suffering: it can turn anguish into tenderness, wounds into wisdom, sorrow into love. But healing, ah, healing is not easy. It asks you to unclench your fists when rage begs for vengeance. It asks you to soften when hatred promises power. It asks you to re...

Dance Of The Flames

Mercy eyes were filled with dismay at the state of the sitting room she had tidied up just a few minutes ago. It was now in disarray, everything out of position. The centre table was upturned, the cushions were on the floor and to worsen everything, the contents of a cereal box was lavishly scattered on the centre rug. And the culprits, two little boys, George and Mickey were standing in the middle of the room, grinning sheepishly. They were covered in cereal. "Which kain tin be dis na? Wetin I do una wey make una hate me like dis? Why una dey make my work hard like dis na ehn?" She lamented, her arms flailing wildly. Mickey ran to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He was four years old and adorable. "I love you Aunty Mercy" he grinned adoringly at her. "Me too, Aunty Mercy." George called from where he pulled at the strands on the centre rug. Mercy looked at them and sighed in exasperation. She loved them too but they drove her craz...
