One Sacred Night

Photo credit: Volkan Omez @Unsplash Photos Mama, everytime I lay in bed, I try my best To distract myself from a blue reality One that leaves my heart heavy My spirit broken, and my soul bleeding I still hear audible voices in my sleep Sacred chants, that never seem to bleak I see the women coming into my room Monsters in women skin undressing my body. They move in circles, chanting the ewe Fear grips my heart as they pour libations On my body.... All of this is beginning to feel wrong They tell me to close my eyes And ask me to say an oath A seemingly harmless prayer of virtue To keep my body bound, and sane I'm slowly loosing my smile, and I'm wondering, why they are forcibly holding me?  Trying to pin me down so I don't resist  or say a word? I try to speak, but my mouth's been gagged Try to run, but my hands and legs are tied I'm knocked down to a spot Like a lifeless sacrifice placed before the priest I thought that was all, U

I Am A Woman

I Am A Woman ( Photo Credit : Elixir Studios/SimplyAlero ) I am Eve, the very first to walk the surface of the earth. I symbolize the origin of all men, and my landmark can not be tamed.   I am Sarah, one whose disregard could not ruin God's plan. I found favour in God's sight and birthed the promised seed. I am Rahab, my past dented me a great deal, but I took a risk; was bold in the face of fear, and that rewrote my history. I am Deborah, I served my people against all odds. And in the face of peril, my honour was birthed. I am Esther. My fairytale was the beginning of a dilemma. Beauty and pose couldn't stand, but courage and faith gave me a voice that saved thousands. I am that Proverbs 31 woman, not the one Solomon warned you about; but one that adds value, and is always an asset to her family. I am a woman, a woman of honour, virtue, glory, and authority. I'm the lady with a Kingdom identity. One who's called into a true purpose, out of darkness into a light.

Dear Adeola Mi... Letters to my Future Husband

Dear Adeola mi In A World Of Fantasy... I long for moments when we would walk hand in hand by the beach, gazing into each others eyes - and the prophecy will be fulfilled that 'your eyes are of rivers of waters washed with milk and fitly set...' shines brightly and like fire causes me to melt in your arms.  And your arms? Your arms are 'rods of gold, adorned with gems' and they hold me up tightly, and shield me from every storm that could ever rise to sway me away from your heart. Whenever I don't feel your arms around me, I would always sing quietly from my heart to yours, our lovey dovey anthem 'wrap me in your arms', just so you could cuddle me gently, and within the fleet of time we transcend time and space, far away from the worries within; to a realm where only you displace my fears. Adeola mi, I wouldn't need to ask you to kiss me with the lips of your love, for your love itself is better than wine... and it overflows through my veins.
