En-TWIN-ed

En-TWIN-ed...

I.


Two lifetimes,

Merged into One.
Two beings from,
Alternate realities.

Fused into one system

Of emotions and fate
governed by their own reflections

Reflections birthed from

The semblance of their scars.
Minute details entrenched
In conduct connected by flaws.

Flaws designed with a beauty

Found only within their eyes.
As they stare deep into
The fragments of their souls.

A dark cloud of feelings

Hovers over their minds
Its about to rain.
A downpour of passions.
Soaked into shivers down their spines.

Creating an opening

Of trust and truth.
One found only in
A sheer innocence of youth.

II.


You look at me with eyes

Filled with care.
Afflicting my senses with
Tenderness and charm.

Breathing in an atmosphere

Of stars and fireflies.
Our minds touch the heavens
In caresses mild and thin.

We do not struggle to attain

A wireless connection of thoughts
There are no passwords.
No encryption algorithms.

There is a festival of goosebumps

When you hold my hands.
A congregation of neurons
Racing down my spine,

When we kiss...


Making me freeze for:

2 seconds multiplied by eternity.
A memory stamped into infinity.
Preserved by time.

III


We become immortals

Forged from the magma
Of affections burning through our veins.

Like tethering storms

We binge into torrents of angst.
An influx of emotions,
Floods the cities of our minds.

Then, in a flash,

We begin to walk on oceans made of clouds,
And from the depths of our souls,
Smile with a cheerful grin.

We burn out the darkness,

And embrace the tentacles of light.
Intersecting our glominess
With tapestries of delight



IV


Ephemeral whispers of light

Seduces the darkness.
As we begin to feel
Our hearts pleading with each other to:

Stay...


We feel this intense longing of

Never leaving each others sight.
We smile while crying within.
Our hearts fighting with the winds of fate.

We wish that day will never come.

What would be the outcome.
Would our memories be forgotten?
Would our hearts thaw into cracks of loneliness?

We talk things through, i look at you

And smile with a doleful grin.
I can see the memories we shared
In red, blue and green.

Are we going to survive?

Would the distance tear us apart?
These questions will keep haunting my heart.
Till the day when you depart.

V.


Entwined, like twins

Right out of the womb.
Our story begins with hapiness
And ends with... no end.

Entwined, like twins.

We see each others flaws
As beauty in empires of
ashes and dust.

Entwined, like twins

In their mothers womb
We hold each other gently
Whispering strength to our ears
against all odds

Entwined, like a cord of light.

We connect in weird twists and turns.
Like a 5D roller coaster
We take rides to planets
Never imagined by man.

Entwined in kisses so divine.

We shatter the reins of time.
And elope into nothingness.
In bodily rhythms and rhymes

As two lifetimes are

Merged into one.
Two beings from
Alternate realities

Fused into one system

Of emotions and fate
Governed by their own reflections.

++Constellations++

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...

Toyin

Toyin. You have stood the test of time Lending the sky a fist of faith. You have in eternity's mind. Existed before the birth of fate Moving through galaxies like a meteor That glimmers like a neutron star. You found your way through darkness Born into a world of pain and scars. Toyin. I won't try to explain the joy of flowers That bloom at the sight your smile. Or tell you the number of hours. I spend on the nile Of daydreams. Chilling on reflections in the evening Of my imaginations. Reminiscing the times when you In gentle whispers, Told me to: Never relent. Toyin, I won't try to begin to extol The nature of your mind. A concatenation of ideas and skills That puts one in a state of rewind... Into the beauty of your soul A work of art made by God. To bring about miracles, wonders and signs as of Old. Toyin I would like to remind you that The test is not over. You will be tried on different levels And realms till you get to a state Of ment...

Muted Conversation I

Recently i have been trying to understand why i feel the way i feel sometimes. Though not every time. These days i happen to stay aloof and struggle really hard to maintain new friendships. Even old friendships happen to be fading because of this problem. Right now, I'm not sure if the people around me are friends or just acquaintances. I don't know if this is a phase of growing up or an evolving symptom of social anxiety.   Depression is the norm. Everyone and everything in Nigeria have experienced some form of depression at some point, even rats and lizards. But I'm not writing to buttress on that. I'm actually trying to understand why sometimes there is this emptiness we tend to feel, like a hollow, unable to feel joy, not sad either, cry-laughing, laugh-crying.   When I have face-to-face conversations with new people, I tend to be mostly shy to a point where i may be nodding at your words and laughing to your jokes and not really hearing anything. Hugs mean more to...
