Love Won’t Let Me Breathe – A Poem

• 

I have poured out my heart
on several stages and pages
but love won’t let me be,
it never departs or diminishes.

I have bailed my heart from the
bars and battles of passions
but love won’t set me free,
It holds me tight with delight.

I sometimes choose to lose,
refusing to wake up and show up
but love won’t let me fail,
it nullifies my flaws to qualify me.

I sometimes give my heart away
to be crushed on thorny altars
but love won’t let me bleed,
it seals and heals me eternally.

My heart has been poisoned
with sweet lies and deadly truths,
but love won’t let me die,
it detoxifies and fortifies me.

Whenever I choose to live out loud,
faking happiness and flaring hope,
love won’t let me breathe,
it buries me till joy blooms again.

Happy weekend to you all.

Every Woman is a Wonder

Every woman is a vibrant vessel.
A marvel the human mind cannot unravel.
Her heart is holy ground,
a world of warmth and worship,
and her body: a battleground
where bleeding is a blessing in disguise.
I’m in awe of all the pains and the storms
that a woman’s body can endure.
From period cramps to the pressure of pregnancy,
and the untold pains of childbirth.
Only a dead man will dare to assault this delicate dimension of divinity.
She is a tapestry of tenacity,
a symbol of strength and sweetness.
Her womb is an enigmatic empire
where nations and generations are nurtured
till they are fit to survive on planet earth.
Her breasts are a fountain of life,
the peaks of passion and nourishment.
She is everything a man is not,
and most times, she is everything a man has got.
Every woman is a wonder to behold,
a treasure that cannot be bought or sold.

Happy Women’s Day to all the amazing women in my life. I love you all.
