               A MAN WITH A BIG KNIFE


I kept knocking on the door of his heart

If I had known what was hidden deep down his heart, I possibly would have run for my dear life

If I had known he was a monster dressed like an angel, I wouldn't have entertained his single touch to be felt on my body

I never knew the smile on his face was promising disaster, I would have prayed for our paths not to cross

I thought it was love, in the beginning, it did look like love

I felt it, I kissed it and of course, it felt like I was locked inside the kingdom of darkness

I never knew his peace was planning to cut me into pieces with his big knife

I wouldn't deny it, he succeeded in making my star to reign among other stars on the surface of the sky

I couldn't believe it was part of his plan to nurture me with his trust and later devour on me like a monster

Now he has become a permanent memory that has taken a comfortable seat on the buoyant space of my heart, If I had known his mission, I would have run for my dear life

Angel turned monster was the memory I was left with

I thought the big knife in his hand was to protect me in battle, I didn't know it was held to cut me into pieces as a sacrificial lamb

My desire for handsomeness and riches are of no equal

I never knew my life has been chosen by the oracle as a  ransom for his wealth to reach climax

My password was money

I have even settled for a slogan which states " No Money No Love"


If I had known not every stone that is cold has a righteous foundation

Maybe It could have helped
I  was told by a friend to stay with my guy "Francis"

What did I do? I turned deaf ears

All I cared for, was money

 didn't find it hard to dump Francis like a squeezed piece of paper and clipped myself to Desmond whose destiny was breathing comfort

If I had known Desmond's wealth was a product of ritual

Maybe it would not be too late

Even though I was graciously saved by prayers but my life didn't remain the same again

I lost myself in the process of finding love on the wrong side, I am just a shadow of glory

                     MY BEAUTIFUL ONYINYE Of course, I read about Esau that nearly betrayed his existence all in the name of hunger that could be quenched by a loaf of bread But I know of a young beautiful lady that is still standing even when the storm of life is still breathing pain around the wall of her breakthrough I know of a young beautiful lady that silently hides her pain inside her smile I have had an encounter with a young beautiful lady whose desire to be great is of no equal and  she wouldn't surrender into the arms of corruption in achieving that I have seen with my eyes how "my beautiful Onyinye" didn't surrender her glowing body into the arms of one ugly giant beast who promised her a record-breaking success It's impossible to believe the reality of the fact that Onyinye still shines in darkness despite the pain that life didn't forget to offer her How can I explain to the world that her beauty still glows brighter than the
