Love is a beautiful dream, they say,
And I want to live in it too.
To see through it,
To know how much more I could lose.

Will it bring peace?
Will you be at ease?
The answer is "no".
But you're always free,

To walk beside her,
To laugh with her,
To see her smile in a floral dress,
To feel your heart pound in your chest.

But what more does a man want from her?
To hold her?
To kiss her?
Or does his hunger go darker?
To hurt, to break, to make her suffer?

Yeah, that’s what some men think,
When they see her—
Not as a person, but a thing.
"Lies you say," she barked, so rude,
Oh beauty wrapped in careless youth,
You talk of love, but not the truth.

How the world betrays your man,
Behind your back.
He hides his wounds in silence,
Dressed forever in black.

You think the seats for men
Are always saved and served.
Oh beauty, you unknown,
You don’t know how desperate he is
To earn the success you’ve deserved.
Great are those who lend their light to those who have lost their own. They are miracles in human form.

-Rhia Clay
In my dream I wrote a poem like this
I can't recite it fully
But I wrote this in its essence
The one time I can find peace
Escape from the world
Yet my sadness
Leaks into my unsuspecting mind
My dreams aren’t dreams
Just glorified nightmares
--------------------------------
I used to find beauty in difference
But now I only see you
The same you
In everyone
In every labored breath
Of every man and woman
I see your lips,
Your comforting smile
Never felt like the rest
I used to appreciate
How everyone had their distinct features
Their own unique radiance
But the lights are getting dimmer
And yours only seems to glow brighter
I’m staring into the sun
I try to love someone else
But your always there
Shining in the peripheral
I used to be able to see growth in the change
But still, I sit everyday
Mourning your illusory loss
I used to be able to find meaning in the chaos
But now, it’s just chaos
Maybe someday
Someone will show me
The meaning
I've searched for
For so long
I used to understand
I didn't need to question
Why things happened to me
I used to
If I weren't me, who would I be?
If the world hadn't shut down, would I still
be lost?
Like blisters on my feet, I carry my doubts,
Mistook burnout for discipline, wore it as
a badge.

Baggage heavy with memories,
I drag it through the mud-
Versions of myself, deeply buried in a suitcase.

If I stop and leave it behind,
Will the old me burn in ashes?
23/5/25
If I stop and leave it behind,
Will the wind carry my old
self away?

[shadow:]
dear God,
lately,
i’ve forgotten how to be a person.
my hands feel too heavy.
my skin, too loud.
i keep failing at something
no one ever taught me.

my thoughts unravel like cheap thread,
and i keep trying to knot them quietly—
so no one sees the mess.

some days,
i’m just too tired of carrying
a soul that doesn’t sit right inside me.
like it was made for someone else.

[shadow:]
i feel like a ghost,
pretending to deserve
food,
touch,
rest.

i move through the world like background noise.
i hurt when i’m supposed to hope.
and i run when i should reach.

i shrink from love,
because part of me still believes
i have to earn being seen.

i don’t want to perform

but i still talked to You
for an hour
on the highway.
and even when i ran out of words—
You stayed.

Below are some of the spells cast by Baba Kagolo to make your life better forever
LOVE SPELLS

LOST LOVE SPELLS
Have you been in such a circumstance in your life when you had lost your affection because of some unverifiable reasons, like your sweetheart didn't comprehend your internal sentiments, or your family didn't agree to your adoration relationship.
VOODOO SPELLS
Authentic Voodoo is a very powerful magic that almost anything can be done. From bringing your lover to making someone love you, or even helping you to pay your bills.
ATTRACTION SPELLS
An attraction spell is a milder form of love spell that doesn't tamper with someone's emotions in the same way. The spells on this page are simpler and will help to attract someone into your life rather than make them fall in love with you.
BLACK MAGIC SPELLS
Are you bombarded with evil powers, bad luck, and is there no way out? Black Magic is making you sick, or your business is in losses with sudden effect. Someone is taking revenge on you with magic spells. Healer Kagolo can break all bad spells with his powerful spells inherited from his family

MARRIAGE SPELLS
With a little bit of magic, those four little words Will you marry me can be made to happen easily and immediately.
FERTILITY SPELLS
There are not that many fertility spells, but they all have one thing in common. Children.
Fertility spells will either help to prevent or promote conception. These spells are not foolproof, though. Like with all other spells, these spells must be cast exactly as stated, or the spell will have weak magic, if any magic at all.
DIVORCE SPELLS
You can use this spell to break up a divorce. If you feel that your friend or anyone for whom you care is not happy or will not be happy in future.

Aaamour May 25
I am the last bird of the extinct species
crying out my chirps desperately for a mate
but they are hindered by these glass walls and lookalike trees
as my cries go in vain, I cry louder with immense pain
even if these walls didn’t exist
there is no one out there for me
someone who can understand my cries, see and feel my feathers
outside I felt the sun’s warmth after rainfall
here even though it’s sunny all the time I feel cold
even the cries of love are hurting me
my cries becomes quiet as these days pass
why am I born with these wings, voice?
Is it not to glide with the wind?
Is it not to sing my songs?
Set me free of this misery
I’ll die in the wild finding a non existent mate, eating what I want
is there anyone like me out there?
I don’t know if I am lost or the last
but I am the last bird of the extinct species
crying out my chirps desperately for a mate
as my cries go in vain, I cry louder with immense pain

A friend to many
all of whom
were too lost
to remember her

But a foe to most
who remember
her thievery

Human, caring, sweet, and true
These words mean a lot to you
I am not who I say I am
Everything you know about me is a sham

One, Two Three,
Why do you believe in me?
Four, Five, Six,
I'm no more than a pile of sticks

My rhymes are childish
And so are my thoughts
Everything I say
Comes out ******* in knots

This is not a poem
Nor is it a song
This is not a story
Yet you keep singing along

Why can't you leave?
Why must you stay?
Why must you sit there,
day after day?

Waiting, whispering, hoping, crying
Begging that this won't be my final letter
Holding tight onto that sweater
Praying that we'll last forever
Wishing that you could have done better
read it again but as a nursery ryhme. what do you think this nursery rhyme is about?

It wasn't your fault.☀️❤️‍🩹
