A lesson on
looking and reading
the face as a book.
Be the one
you love
because all your
secrets and struggles,
everything about you
are not hidden
but written all
over your face.
Let's face the
book and find
out what is
going on with you.
I see the
world in
your face.
You feel the
world in
your heart.
You know the
warmth of love
in your soul.
You carry within
yourself the weight
and the burden,
the pain of
the whole universe
in your life.
The imprint of
the spirit is
linked to the
extraterrestrial.
Your face is
the mirror of
which every mood,
every thought and
all that you feel,
and every phase
of your very
life and experiences
are regularly registered.
Your likes and
your dislikes,
your sorrow and joy
are revealed.
Your contentment
and your distress
are shown to
the world.
Nothing ever that
is hidden within
or without in
your persona are
all shared by
your face and
encoded in your
physiognomical changes.
Your face is
indeed a true
facebook worth reading.

This monstrous being,
an entity from
another realm
stealthily and silently
moved slowly
with calmness
in the darkness.
Maybe it's unaware
of my presence
or maybe it's just
ignoring me
as I'm not a
treat to it.
I heard the
cricket chirping
and the night
frog crocking at
a distance in
the darkness.
Their song unwittingly
helped make the
night feel more
mysteriously outstanding.
The night was
dreadfully and
awfully quiet.
There is something
very ominous
about this night.
It sends the
goosebumps
up my spine.
It was drizzling.
The stars of
the night were
sleeping and the
clouds was devoid
of any light
except the sound
of thunderstorm
shattering the sky,
piercing even into
the interior
of the house.
Sleep has gone,
replaced by
restlessness and
curiosity mixed with
fear and apprehension.
Alone here hiding
after the terror
of the dusk.
It's a horrible
experience so terrifying
that I can't
even breath.
I can see
faintly the
silhouette of that
entity moving
away from me,
and I exhaled
with so much
gladness to be
free from this
terrible monster.
People will never
truly understand
something until it
happens to them.

The words we
uttered are from
the letters of the
alphabets of the
spirit meant to
bring solace and
sanity into the
affairs of man.
To combine one
letter with the
other two or three
alphabet is to
form the words
flowing through the
door of our mind.
Words are powerful
spells that help
alleviate stress of
confusion and bring
order into what
our mouth utters.
I know myself
in my words.
I don't look for
myself in the
middle of the
darkness of the
words that flows
out of my soul,
for the words
turned and
become light when
they come out
of the darkness
of the heart.
It was dusk,
with the rosy clouds
dotting the western
sky after the rain.
The glow of
one warm thoughts
is to me worth
more than money.
No man jokes
with his inner peace.
He opens his
mouth and words
come out.

It had to
be you I'm sure.
But i dare you
to leave,
for the love in
your heart won't
let you go away.
But once I love you,
would you stay
forever.
This love and
what I feel
is not a
casual encounter.
I am a
prisoner of love.
It's definitely divine
and deeper than
you think or
imagined.
For the fire
of love is
burning within
your heart
to sift you.
In your lost,
you found yourself.
I want to
disappear too and
be found with you,
for you conquered
your loss.
For the rainfall
must finally find
it's way to the
sea at last.
You are a sigh of
relief gone forth
to ease my
heart of the
pleasure of the
pressure of finding you.

Circles of life,
roaming round
and round.
Hush it's coming
again like a
minute decision.
I'm a man
on the ledge
but it's just a
dangerous affair
to fall for her
just like that.
I met you,
and I was
afraid to
like you.
I liked you,
and I was
afraid to
love you.
I love you,
and now
I'm afraid
to lose you.
One half of
the world
cannot
understand
the pleasure
of the other.
Because everything
around the world
is a road trip
to no where.
Even right now
you are not
so sure.
Are you?

The gods are wise.
Just saw the
drunken wretched
old man became
a millionaire overnight
as he picked up
from the floor
an old crumbled
piece of paper
of a lottery ticket
that changed
his life.
Did you just
see the way
the mountain
moved for him.
And yonder,
she preaches
about love.
Her heart got
hurt and broken.
She became
pregnant for the
one already taken,
the one she
can't be with.
You know already
that anyone who
desires the rose
must first deal
with the thorns.
The ability to read
and understand the
weather does not
exactly exclusively
exclude you from
rainfall.
In one way
or another everyone
must experience
the loss of
a loved one.
No one can
surely survive
a day or two
without water.
Ask those who
live in the
desert how terrible
the heat of
the sun can
be without a
shed or water.
Anyone who
refuses to listen
to the warning
of impending danger
must suffer the
consequences of
disobedience.
That is the
price he pays
for stubbornness.
