Life Through My Eyes

I woke up with a start. We've been involved in accident.  I could tell that very distinctively without thinking I was dreaming. I felt I was bleeding profusely on the inside of my right chest. Just where the right breast is. A few voices could be hard but two of those were distinctively deciding whether they take me first to the hospital and come back for another victim who was wailing and calling out for help. "Help me, heeeelp me, I am here". I could tell from the voice that was the driver. I was propped to a sitting position in a car and a strong male arm kept me in position. The bleeding felt too much and the pain on the chest was excruciating. Press here, I kindly instructed my saviour to press on the bleeding spot. He was hesitant. Perhaps because he had to press through my breast. When I felt his reluctance, I grabbed his hands and placed it on the spot and almost immediately I passed out again only to wake up on a cold table. I was placed on a metallic table. Di...

Aaaaaah mama, why didn't you warn me about the dynamics of marriage Why didn't you alert me of the days my husband would act like the big cat  Why didn't you warn me there are days I would regret being with the man my heart and life revolves around Aaaaah mama, you should have told me  I would have moved in with him prepared I would have tamed the big cat to a more playful kitty Yes, I love the kitty side of him When he plays and makes me laugh Highlighting my beauty Such days, all I desire is him I wrap myself around him, sniff at him Give him sensational foot rub, back rub As I do that, I look up to him with so much affection His face softens and he looks so calm as he starts to drift off Mama, this is the man I fell in love with, the man I thought I would have all the time How do I deal with big cat side of him without hating him in the process Mama I know he loves me I know he wouldn't want to hurt me But here we are Help me mama I want this man for life But you sho...

I remember waking up in the dead of the night. Every occupant on the neighbouring beds slept peacefully or so it seemed. Pain reeked through my body, I flinched I grabbed the edges of bed and shifted I felt my breath leave me I closed my eyes tighter They burned so strongly I was afraid a well of tears would follow I bit my lower lip and said silent prayers No tears, not today, not yet I knew the day for it would come, but just not today I tried to calculate my breath, but all in vain In a strange land I felt abandoned I simply gave up and all I wanted was to have an eternal sleep PC: The internet Through the eyes of AYENYO

The things we ignore The power we ignore The delight we take for granted That power to live at will The power to decide Yes that power to decide how one’s day should run This power is ignored until stripped off   One day all is normal One decides to pee, poop, eat, drink, walk, sleep… Another day all this power is stripped off A stranger starts to decide when and what to eat, drink… They even decide when one should sit or walk One loses control of the bladder Another human has to decide and control the bladder…your bladder Life shifts under your watch But this time, someone else is in control! The things we ignore PC: Klaus Nielson Through the eye of AYENYO

To hold your power To cling onto the one thing that brings you peace The one tool that understands you fully The exhilaration!   Nothing compares to the comfort of pen and paper The only thing that understands you the most No questions, no judgement Pure understanding It feels like eternity when this freedom is taken away But one worth the wait PC: Roman Odintsov Through the eyes of AYENYO

Dear stranger,  I smile a lot with everyone  When I give you my warm genuine smile,  it's just a smile and nothing more Don't get me wrong when I warm up to you and ask you a few personal questions  Such questions help me know you better and how best I can work with you  My smile might make you feel a little uncomfortable  It feels so warm, it warms your heart! But that's just about it It is only a smile When I "chase" after you a little  Don't get me wrong I don't want a piece of you,  but rather I see potential that can be grown and I only want to help Help with no single string attached  See, smiling  keeps me younger and makes me feel goooood I am comfortable where I am and with whom I have It is just a smile, always remember that PC: Aviz Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

I want to be that storm in your life  Sweep over you in a whirlwind Land us on the peak of the tallest mountain  Where we are uninterrupted PC:Innoh Khumbuza Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita ©  2023 You can watch the video here  https://www.tiktok.com/@ayenyoj/video/7276742138992561413 Subscribe  to my channels YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ayenyo1 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ayenyojoanita Twitter: @ayenyo1 Instagram: @joanitaayenyo Tiktok: @ayenyoj

It was Thursday evening.  I stood at out usual spot gazing at the beautiful moon. The night was peaceful, the wind slowly kissed the trees as they passed going north. I felt Akhwale's presence, but this couldn't be because he was away hunting and should only be back in a fortnight. I wish he was here with me tonight viewing the moon which was spectacular this night as the stars twinkled around it. It hung so low I could literally touch it. Somebody was approaching, I wasn't scared, but still froze...then the person stood right behind me and he needed no introduction because I could smell him. Akhwale slid his right hand into mine and with the other he wrapped me from my mid section.  His breath was warm behind my ears. I smiled. 'Your smile is always beautiful',  commented Akhwale. I gave a little laugh as I wondered how he knew I had smiled. We stood like this and in no time we were swaying. He was humming our favourite song. As I melted in his arms, he carried me ...

With all hope lost, I lay on that hospital bed thinking of the worst and planning on what I needed done so I could sleep and never wake. What was the essence of living if I couldn’t do anything for myself? I couldn’t feel myself, and all the fun and joy had been drained away. I couldn’t lift a water bottle to my mouth without support. I felt useless and worthless. I couldn’t lift or turn my head without support, let alone lift myself to a sitting position. And the worse, I was alone in a strange land with no blood to smile down at me and whisper, “It is okay and it will be okay eventually.” Home people had already re-assured me I was on my own, and that day I got that information, my spirit sank to the pits of the abyss. Then one evening, Muje walked through the hospital ward entrance. Whatever I felt upon her sight cannot be described. A kind of emotion I have never felt flooded me. I didn’t smile, my face was blank as usual then something clicked and my eyes and cheeks caught fir...

As the flower I wish to get kissed by the bees Hugged by the butterflies Sniffed by the squirrels And favoured by the one who loves me the most PC: The internet Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

He’s here, I know he’s here I can feel his presence Something jumps within me My soul reaches out to him He is here!   Slowly I turn He is standing there Smiling sheepishly Tall, he towers above Apollo He scans my entire body I shift my weight, but still feel his eyes on me   His face turns serious But a warm crease highlights his mouth He takes a few steps towards me I gush for air He has drained all the air from this sphere   I stumble Flail my hands The earth has become soft I am sinking I need to sit down urgently…   How did I reach my bed? “Are you okay hun?” He called me hun! Did you all hear that? My spirit is soaring from the inside Shocked I run my hands over my brows “It’s me Nim, you fainted, I just sent for the doctor”   I’m fine, just a bit tired I think, I respond with a   smile I’m comfortably propped on his laps It feels like a dream Am I dreaming?

Two weeks, two weeks! I haven’t seen the face of the African sun I haven’t felt the heat from this beautiful golden ball Yes, the one that I never paid attention to The one that marks day break and signal its end Yes, that one The one we curse often when it strikes at us so hard Yes, that one   Here I’m confined in my little prison Wishing I could see its face Feel its warmth No matter my struggles My body has rebelled The entire body appears to have sat in a meeting None of the parts will agree to cooperate So all I can do is see it’s light from afar and fantasize With streaks on my face marking my desire PC: Geoff Walker Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

When you get worked up Because he has ignored you When you feel a strange pain in your heart Because he stood you up When you look forward to seeing him Then when you do You freeze You are not just infatuated You are in love PC: The internet Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

My chest is tight Not from sickness But hurt I try to breathe normally But I can't I try to take a deep breath But I can't  My chest is closing in  Closing in not from sickness But rejection Closing in not from sickness But loving wrongly Closing in not from sickness But from choosing unwisely But I must act like all is well The facade PC: Anna Shvets Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

My heart was at peace until Misiko showed up. Pain blurred my eyes, but as Misiko nursed me back to health, I started noticing features that got stuck in my head. How much pain did I have initially to have missed out on this striking god. He was no doubt the brother to Apollo.  With time, I started looking forward to his arrival. His presence warmed my being, soft spoken with an infectious smile. The sound from him would numb the strongest of pain. Tall, well built, a feature that would have a broken necked woman turn to have a better look.  Here I was pleading with my heart to behave. It was no time and place to misbehave. For once, I pleaded day and night for the heart to allow the head to lead. Even now I pray the heart won’t rebel. But the heavens know I am falling.

Once upon a time lived a hero named Misiko. He was God’s favourite child and was created without blemish. He was just as perfect should be. One day, my daily routine was halted. All that I knew was taken away from me. I didn’t even how to breathe without feeling excruciating pain until Misiko was introduced into my life. He was kind and very patient with me. He handled me as though I was some fragile ornament. Slowly, he worked through my body to see me on my feet. Praised every little success I made no matter how small the effort was. He whispered soft commands which I gladly obeyed like a reprimanded child. This rings in my head every day; “Do not close your eyes”, he repeatedly whispered this to me. Poor me, in the wake of pain and tasked to walk, something I grew scared of because of pain, those attempts to walk saw me exert all my energy into taking those little steps and with every step, my teeth dug deeper into my lips and eyes shut tighter. But besides me, my hero stood t...

With you, I want the kind of connection that makes us dance in the kitchen, kiss in the rain, make love in the shower, talk the night away under the stars every night for the rest of our lives. And make beautiful babies with big eyes like yours Pc: John Rocha Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita 

My heart raced when I saw him. He smiled and crossed over. As our bodies crashed in what will remain the most ecstatic of embraces. Time froze and with it every movement in the universe. Only two of us existed at that moment, just me and him. I could feel his heartbeat and his breath warmed my ears. His body was beautifully large as I clung to him. I could feel the radiation passing through our bodies. By the time we disengaged, I was giddy and with very light feet. I was snapped back to reality when ordered to sit down. And boy! Did I just obey a man for the very first time? And tonight I want to count the stars with him with my lips pressed to his neck and fingers toying on his lower belly as I slowly and affectionately kiss him like he's never been kissed before. Kiss him with the purest of love that has built within me. PC: The Internet  From within the depth of AYENYO Joanita  

The love I feel for Akhwale is as intense as an interrupted cum of a man This love is as unheard  of as an orgasm of a woman The kind that you can't explain It is fulfilling to have shared it It matters not how it was received Love is not my cup of tea But tonight I sip at it blindly Almost with a heavy heart It is better to have felt it than not PC: Anna Shvets Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita

As we close this chapter I pray that we do this in a way that leaves us both happy It has been hard on both of us Talking always helps May those who mince other people's words be punished Why fuel fire where the fire is already burning so hot, and high  All I want is my lover back I want my heart back I want peace May this be a lesson Never have I played Yet when I did, I chose the wrong time  I know what love feels like  I know I love you When you crossed my path You vanished just as fast as you appeared Even when I can't have you May peace prevail  And may we see eye to eye PC: The internet Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita ©  2023 You can watch the video here  https://youtu.be/8DV5eCY40K8 Subscribe  to my channels YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ayenyo1 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ayenyojoanita Twitter: @ayenyo1 Instagram: @joanitaayenyo Tiktok: @ayenyoj

  Once upon a time In that secluded village of Onyona lived a beautiful princess that all the men in the village and far admired but were afraid to approach. She had this sophistication about her that would repel even the most courageous of men.  Her skin was flawless, her smile flashed a beautiful gap in her teeth as a dent curved on both her cheeks highlighting her beauty even further. She was tall and when she walked, her hips swayed from side to side leaving many pocketing. Her voice was soft like the river flow in the morning. She had a soft demeanour but fought like a lion. That was least expected in her community as women were looked at as ornaments of the home. Aluga was the only child to her father, and he changed the tradition and made men of the council vow and swear to have his daughter take on the throne upon his demise. This was unheard of, but the council had no choice, but to obey the king.  The King had given his life to his people. He always put them fir...

I remember the day we met He looked ordinary until he opened his lips What flowed from his throat was out of this world The room went quiet The vibration from his being filled the sphere Whooooooosh It all found its way within me I shuddered Huuuuuuh What is happening with me As he kept releasing more sounds My world started to become small Then he glanced my way   When our eyes locked He completely destroyed me And that was the beginning of our tragic love story PC:The internet Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita ©  2023 You can watch the video here  Subscribe  to my channels YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ayenyo1 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ayenyojoanita Twitter: @ayenyo1 Instagram: @joanitaayenyo Tiktok: @ayenyoj

Guess what I want tonight To be consumed by the fire By his ever burning fire I want to look through the depth of his eyes Marvel at it as it dances in the moonlight Melt as a crease touches the side of his mouth Oooo, but most of all I want to hear him mention my name Whisper my name  I want to hear my name through his shaky voice Yes, I want that I want my hairs to stand up at his touch Yeeees Today, I want him so bad PC:Andre Moura Through the eyes of AYENYO Joanita ©  2023 You can watch the video here  Subscribe  to my channels YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@ayenyo1 Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/ayenyojoanita Twitter: @ayenyo1 Instagram: @joanitaayenyo Tiktok: @ayenyoj

  My dearest love, I write to thee With a heavy heart, filled with misery For though my words may reach your ear It seems your heart remains austere I long to feel your tender touch To hold you close and feel so much Yet you ignore my every plea Leaving me in this state of misery What once was passion, now grows cold Our love story, now untold Do you not feel the pain I bear? Do you not see how much I care? My heart aches for your attention Yearning for your love and affection I pray you'll come to see the light And end this painful, lonely night My dearest love, I beg of thee Please hear my heart's sincere decree For though you may ignore me now My love for you will never bow.
