In The Hell I Enjoy

*In The Hell I Enjoy*

I've wandered away in thoughts
I've been this close to atheism
But I've experienced a love within. The process and acts is still a mystery to me and only understood by my soul.
If I can pluck my soul and look at it, I'm sure I'll see Christ's love smiling at me - a smile of peace. 
If you live by feelings, you'll never experience God. 
You might ask, what is life without feelings?
I answer, life is a reflection of your true reality without feelings.
Feelings make you "want to be", without realizing who you are.
Feelings makes us insatiable and leaves us without peace.
Feelings make us uncomfortable.
Feelings are not bad, neither are they good,
It is just an extra that nature places on our senses to make us have fun.
Life is simple if we live it paying attention to our needs and holding back our wants to will.
Life is a hell unto the flesh and paradise to the soul
With the flesh, we focus on our pains and forget the memories
With the soul, we feel the heartbeat of laughter and cry when another cries 
Because it feels good to feel pains together.
When our feelings are put in our pockets, 
To be looked at whenever we want to, 
Life becomes the hell we enjoy.
Life, no matter how stingy it is with the unknown, 
Becomes fun when we are in love
God is love and cannot be understood by feelings.

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

Solomon's Lair!

By
Rated 18 Solomon's lair  I almost refused to go for the birthday party this year. Solomon always hosted a party every year, and as usual, I always gave the opening speech and acted as the MC too. I hated the drama and fake smiles all around. Each year, new faces present, old faces absent. New Friends present, Old friends lost, only me stagnant. I was always present as the best friend, the loyal soldier, meanwhile I was notoriously known for not celebrating my own birthday. It was so bad that most of my friends didn't even know my date of birth, just my age. Yes, it was that bad! It was an exhausting exercise for me. The cake and speeches, by God I hated the hypocrisy. So this year I swore to him by the old gods and new, that I wasn't gonna be in the spotlight of his special day. I just wanted to drink and chill quietly in solitude. Surprisingly, without any fuss, he obliged me. ''Obi is now a man o'' I smiled. ...

Riotous Love

By
I have always found Tony, my boyfriend, fascinating His write-ups and rants about bad governance and patriarchy got me wet and awestruck every single time I visited his timeline  Whenever he wrote a piece on Facebook and Twitter, he got thousands of likes and comments I always read every comment, especially from women who were mesmerized by his writing prowess I was once part of such women until I decided to shoot my shot, and, like cupid, I hit him straight in the heart A simple "Hello, I've read and enjoyed all your stories, maybe you could write ours someday, hope I'm not overreaching?" I had to drink almost a full bottle of bailey's to find courage for that stunt, and today, we are celebrating 8 months of the best love story ever. He was my Mr. Perfect, everything I could ever ask for and more It wasn't surprising when he asked me to join him and go for the peaceful protest here in Lagos, and like a love-struck puppy, quickly I jumped up and said yes That ...
