My thoughts are weak
Without your heartbeats to make it tick
It stays dumb it can barely speak
Fails at communicating
Constantly my mind bleeds, lyrically mensurating

Your heart is my champion
In the face of adversity, it's a Lion
Even in old age it beats down rage
Nothing can hold it down, it was built stronger than a steel cage

Like water and blood, we believed we would never mix
Always words apart, we were separated like five and six
So we broke the rules, committed sin
In the end, our love was openly seen

Cast the first stone if you were born innocent
Love never grows old, it's always an adolescent
Even after a century, it still maintains it's good looks
If you doubt me, read the ancient books

For God so loved the world
He gave us the word
Ours was a forbidden love so from hell we created sunset, digging up love buried like landmines
Together we were a whirlwind, our union was atomic, blowing away minds

Your word is sunrise, it takes me to a morning where night never comes
We were called mad because we danced all day, we pitied them, deaf they heard not the beating of the drums
A world with only sunrise, no moonlight
Your word is sunset it speaks me a world without night

    Your word is sunrise, it takes me to a morning where night never comes.

    Think of that as your word but whenever I read your write-ups some takes me to cloud 9 and some make me ask like will ask now "was this written for me''?

    The answer might be a no because like blood and water we can't mix

I am not afraid of the storm Facing it alone isn't something I would lose sleep over But I want to conquer with you Set anarchy to never after Bring liberty to forever more Alone we are survivors, caging the fiercest waves Swimming the deepest seas But, hand in hand we would drown the ocean You and I, we would drink the rivers dry And spit out islands Kingdavid Chinaeke Ofunne Authorpreneur

I hate my Job

By
Warning: Strong adult content 18+ I hate my job My boss, Miss Patricia, is a tyrant 40+, beautiful angelic face and even more perfect body, with a lovely smile, that she hardly uses, single mom of two beautiful teenage girls, whose pictures are hung everywhere in our offices. While her exterior is sweet and beautiful, her interior is dark and evil. Always barking orders at the rest of us, like children, her voice is so loud you wonder where she has the energy to scream in such a high note all the damn time She is so feared, her car horn is enough to immediately drown whatever noise or laughter is coming from the entire building The popular saying among us, her staff members, is that the fear of Patricia's horn is the beginning of wisdom I spent years searching for a job in the streets of Lagos, begging even, embarrassed by security men and spat at by lousy and saucy receptionists, to quit this one just like that. We die here! I was prepared to eat shit for as long as I could, so I ...

The Law Man

By
*Longshot* "Aim!" "Fire!" kraaakkkk kaaaaaaaa krrrrrrrr!!! Sounds of gunshots rendered the air as six policemen died, all tied to the drum and shot by their comrades. Six corrupt policemen once again killed on the orders of the new police chief, totalling 600 since Nonso was elected Police chief read the Star Newspaper. The biggest and most popular newspaper agency in the country. Nonso holds the record as the youngest police chief in the history of the Nigerian police force. And the most lethal. He singlehandedly ended the reign of terror by the SARS operatives, totalling disbanding the unit, executing most of them to the dismay and utter disbelief of the local and international community. How can one man weild so much power, and why is the presidency backing him up. But Nonso was not just any man, Nonso was the man you called to clean up a mess and he did it without leaving a trace of stink nor stench. At 35, his resume was a reflection of unsurpassable exploits a...
