Her

HER
The green era is slowly fading 
Days when men sat and stared 
With nothing at heart but the singing silence 
Looking far and deep into mother earth's beauty 

 Boys had no business being men 
For they were men with boys in them
There was a music that childhood kept playing 
Forever more history sang

 Now the boys have gone away 
Through the green life into civilization 
The one that has shut the smiles and raised toes 
Everyone is afraid of being who they truly are 

 For you my dear, 
Do not forget the charm of greenery
The music that the trees make a dawn
and a quiet swirling of peace at dusk

 If we forget her today 
Our children may never brace her glory
Pick her brown limbs and make her green 
She is the future of our unborn generation

Ahamefuna

  There's something about Ahamefuna that disturbs my spirit. He came home from work like every other day, tired but excited to see his family. He put up a long grin that almost looks fake, holding a bag of groceries I had asked for earlier in the day. The atmosphere changed with his presence, the feeling of dear gripped me tightly but I remained calm anyways. I kept asking how his day went and he kept ignoring the question like he didn't hear what I said. I kept looking at him, looking for traces of anything that would confirm my fears... He kept starring at me like he had a thousand words to say but was held back by a border. I could see him from the side of my eyes as I cut vegetables for dinner. I couldn't place my hands on this mystery but it felt like he was aloof. He offered to cook dinner with me and even put the kids to bed. My husband is the sweetest man I ever know but he associates cooking with the female gender, I didn't mind because I love cooking. He spent...

Peace in Chaos

 There in her chamber, seated on her big gold crested cushion, she felt deep peace. Nothing on earth would compare to this calmness that her heart has attained. She dragged in sweet air, held it tight as if it was her last and let it out gracefully as she rested on her cushion. It won't be long before she looses consciousness.  The events of her life in the past few years felt like dark magic. She shut her eyes to see her loved ones, this was the only way she could remember their faces and feel their warmth for they were all connected only by the soul.  She smelt her youngest son, he was only 9 months old before he passed away. "Strange world" she muttered to herself and smirked. It was hard for her to have lost them but the sting of death didn't affect her anymore, she has lost everything that could cause her pain. She felt like her husband was talking to her, she jerked up with eyes wide open in surprise. But he wasn't there, he had died from lung Cancer. She le...

Woman

WOMAN  She's a naturally unconscious consciousness  A springing beauty from the bowels of mother earth Her hands spread far and wide  "Woman" is her name  Society has called her weak and of less value  Maybe true, maybe not  But "woman" is the definition of everything that is not  Didn't come to challenge but to glow uniquely  Did you see that house glowing?  Did your babies appear with sparkles and shines? Are there results faster and expected?  It's called womanhood!  There's no chaos in her world  She's a shock absorber with a strong will  An irreplaceable all purpose machine  She's the strongest creation nature has to offer The feeble bones held every other thing except negativity  Fondly called weak, a nature in dwelling But her will supersedes all  She was called to stand on a unique lane  CATALEA BONEZ
