Nigeria Sometimes I think everything is prettier in black and white
This is me Breaking softly, softly Like crisp mounds of sand succumbing to the winds. Because sand is porous. Unretentive I'm like this sand Forgetting good memories Forgetting conflicts Forgetting them all at once. • Breaking softly, softly like a house losing its life to a fire in minutes Because fire has no regard for history. Is wild. Persistent And I'm like this house Yielding to the gentle build up of this sweet inferno Disregarding my age-old vows to "never be bait" • And breaking softly, softly like a feeble brick-wall Under the downpour of torrential rains. Because brick-walls are volatile. Unstable. I'm like this brick-wall crumbling under the weight of my shortcomings under the weight of my non-stop errors. • You are wind. Blowing away my reasons for guardedness Because you've given me less reasons to be You are fire Having no regards for the history behind my careless habits Because there's really no need for it anymore. You are rain. Eroding this sanctuary I call "The place of logicality" Because logicality never won in the Place of Emotions. • But this doesn't mean that I'll stop Resisting the winds, the fires, the rains. Resisting you And why? I don't know either. And I don't know who will win this war You, or my stubborn heart. • But truth remains that this is me Breaking softly, softly For you.

A to Be is Why to Zed ~ An Alabaster's Alphabet
***The homeland soil The roots I'm from The tree pine veins The flow thorough The leaves in green The starry night lit   The spiral's dream The mighty flights The peaks are high The clouds in mist The eagle feathers The rainbow tears The cattle's power The milky way is8***

The Pillars _________________________Of True Creation
I thought of you last night.. While all the stars aligned in our sky.. The beginning has started all over again.. Lets scatter the stars together..

Lets scatter the stars together..
Its not quite what you think.. The surface is as dark as night.. You can even see the stars above.. The life here is made of fire.. The birds, the lizards, the caterpillars that turn into fiery butterflies.. Even the flowers  look like stars.. The waters are made of light.. Cool to the touch.. They heal all.. And give life back.. Its then I start to remember how I got here.. Back on Earth I was asleep.. I then saw a strange light from above.. In a dream.. I stepped into the light.. And saw light angels within.. But what I thought were angels were simply the people of the sun.. It took about 8 minutes to get to the sun.. They walked with me on the surface of the sun.. To them I shined brighter than anything there.. But truly I was returning home.. I was their son..

On the surface of the sun
I open my eyes.  I am happy I have opened my eyes.  I take a deep breath.  And then I sit up.   Purple skies mixed in with the most beautiful of oranges and dying yellows.  The starlight takes over the skies as I forget the colors and my eyes fall in love with the lights of the night.  I know I have left my former life behind.  The stars in the sky begin to grow larger and brighter.  I then discover that they are not stars at all.  They are coming for me. All of them.  I am the shadow of sin.  I have committed atrocity after atrocity. I even destroyed all the life on this Planet. I thought I was going to die with it.   They now look like falling stars.  All of them blazing in my direction.  Sentinels of the light.  Angels of the heavens.  Call them what you like.  This battle will likely tear this Planet apart. Such a shame.  To shatter such a beautiful sky above. For even the eyes of darkness and chaos can find such a beauty.

Sentinels of the light
(I give to him a relic given to me by my fellow mage Osiris.. The relic of the star tear.. This is your prayer.. Become the angel of the stars..) After cutting through the endless darkness and seeing it bleed light I spoke my final prayer to the God or being higher than any star in the sky. I was on my knees as the demons and devils were closing in on my final shining glow. I was the last of our race. We were going into the darkness shining and glowing. But my prayer had been answered by an angel of the stars. This angel was a dragon that had wings of blue star light. He painted our sky blue again with his light and erased the darkness above. Our sun shined through once again burning away all that was wicked and evil. He then looked into my eyes and spoke through them. I could hear him speak to me through his eyes. " I give to you a relic given to me by my fellow mage Osiris.. The relic of the star tear.. This is your prayer.. Become the angel of the stars." His wings then shined so very bright as he lifted off into the sky leaving behind a cut of light in the sky. The relic he gave to me shined star blue and red. I noticed my sun blade and moon blade were glowing the same colors as the relic. I picked up my soul swords and sheathed both of them. I could feel everything around me now. Where I stood the grass begin to grow. Flowers followed then trees and forest. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and felt the wastelands of our planet needing to be cleansed. There were then thousands of tornados of light that swept all of the lands followed by massive super hurricanes that covered the entire Planet. I was cleansing our world by simply thinking about it. I was at the center of it all. Our world is now reborn. And I must now give it away. I will be part of the stars now. I will dive into the cosmos as a light that will forever shine away all that is evil.

*/// Everything is separated from each other But when you see silently It seems all together The day sleeps in the night as I exist in you The born, The death all for thee Black or white True or false all for thee The continents are separated, isolated As we are alienated from each other But on the other hand we are all together Apparently we are  moving toward the different direction The dark, The light all for thee Silence or thunder Melody or chaos all for thee Either it’s a stone or an emotion Even either love or hate, Neither war nor peace Neither dialectics nor mystic All  have bent you and me There are too many invisible divine strings On every matter or even every non matter yet bonded with the heaven and the hell So, all we move toward the same destination /// @ Musfiq us shaleheen*

The divine strings
In my closet lie my secrets Shackled in shame, as they huddle in the darkness Fearful of being spilt out for the rest of the world to see Yet silent and unwavering, as they force courage upon themselves Hopeful that they may remain hidden in the cobwebs which hang inside But knowing that one day they may somehow be released Forced to leave their prison of safety, as the truth is revealed As the skeletons spill from the darkness And the secrets from my past come back to haunt me
