Life Through My Eyes

When mad at me, he goes quiet like a cemetery When suspicious of me, the night will surely be a cold one like the seashore in the dead of the night When I serve him the truth, he gets angry like a mother bear threatened How do I deal with this one?   He will sulk, ignore everything that is connected with me Look at me with disdain He will keep his distance both day and night And when nature demands He expects me to embrace him like he has been human to me all along Like I don’t have feelings Like I have been blind to his attitude How does my blood warm up to him?   He thinks I am any woman He takes me to be a trouble maker He is pushing me away slowly With all the cold treatment And one day, I will let up And guess what, the world will blame me But I will have my uninterrupted peace   PC: Pixabay Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

I froze that Saturday morning as tears streamed down my face like Aruu falls in the rainy season Breath stuck in my lungs as a lump lodged itself on my throat My mind raced all over trying to ascertain how they got to you Your baby Winnie told us how you promised her never to let your guard down And when she received the devastating news that Aug 21, she immediately knew you did at some point, It could have been a blink of an eye, but they got to you Lion   Maria your star sent you off with a heartwarming message through spoken word Glad she did one for you before they put you down Yes, she reminded us of your great looks that we all know to be of movie stars Many hearts crashed alongside that of your wife, not that you were not true to her, But many were deeply in love with you, without your knowledge   More people were left dazed as you commanded many admirers, a fearless man of great intellectual; One respected by so many Isn't that what Lion...
