Invisible War

Just like the others, it was a perfect morning. The sun🌞 was glowing in all its brilliance, the clouds☁️ tickling one another as they moved from side to side, the wind🌪 was definitely not going to lag behind as it came with all its glory, carrying along with it the sands of the earth which threatened to sore my flesh😫, my compensation at least was that it remembered to get oxygen from the trees😊.


The outward beauty was immeasurable truly😶🤤, however disappointing that it couldn’t reach the crux of my heart or at the very least give it a reason to smile😔, perfection was probably having a bad day😑.


A walk in the park with a companion👭 might have helped, who knows? But even these companions scarcely came by, and the ones that came by only lasted as long as the morning dew🌫, vanishing in the twinkling of an eye😕; loneliness had gotten the better of me.


Never have my fingers felt so heavy writing a piece, for writing in the moment is different from narrating a story🙂. What can one do when they find themselves in such a fix- Pray? Sulk? Weep? Pretend? All of the above?🤷‍♀️ The war waged in the mind truly surpasses any physical combat🤼‍♂️, getting your thoughts in sync with your emotions and owning up to them is one of the greatest battles that could be won by any man🏋‍♀️.


Winning a battle isn’t always by exchanging blows, sometimes battles are won by letting things be, and doing nothing👩. For indeed it is possible to be alone without being lonely👤, and a walk in the park all by yourself may be all you need to make room for the change you crave.

It was time for the sun to give way for the moon to showcase her beauty🌚, and the stars to erupt in their glory, a silent darkness🌌, a sleepy head😴.

Yours truly,
Anidom❤.

A Soulmate Or Yours?🤔

“A person who is perfectly suited to another in temperament” is how Merriam-Webster Dictionary decides to put the definition of Soulmate. Well, good for them🤷‍♀️.

I watched Four to Dinner👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏾👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏾 few weeks ago and it just reminded me how often people talk about soulmates, and how I was to a large extent still undecisive of my stance on the whole subject matter🤥.

I took a closer look on the already existing ideas in my brain and I realised how vague there were😬. Being someone who likes to take a stance on issues👀, I didn’t like how that made me feel, so I decided to look and think deeper about it. After much gbas gbos🤪, I came to a conclusion😉.

There are over seven billion people in the world and it’s quite unsettling to believe that there’s only one person that is “perfect” for you, only one person right for you🙄. Mbanu! I no gree🙅‍♂️.

I am a Christian, and I know a few persons in the Bible who were married to more than one woman👩‍🦰- Solomon, Jacob, etcetera. Inasmuch as I do not support polygamy, I believe that it is indeed a reflection of the fact that you are compatible with a good number of people or even many, just like in the case of brother Solomon- my guy wasn’t dulling sha…!🙃😂. However, I believe compatibility varies- more with some and less with others👇.

This has brought me to the conclusion that there are many people one can be comfortably married to, as there are people who are better for us than others; those with whom we are at our best🏋- may be this is what people refer to as your soulmate🤔.

The fact that the definition of Soulmate doesn’t give room for the possibility of being happy and compatible with other people besides “that one person”, makes the Soulmate Concept a full blown fantasy to me😬.

If you’re a Christian like me, you may also believe in trusting God to direct you to the best person for you👩🏽‍🤝‍👨🏾, not necessarily the only person for you.

Are you looking for A Soulmate Or Yours?🤔

Not in control🙅

Growing up as the first daughter, I’m used to having things go my way most times🌚. As weird and toxic😅 as that may sound, I know it’s true for a lot of people.

I always got to have my way especially with my younger siblings; I tell them what to do and not do, and they just have to comply🙄😁. This “philosophy” worked quite well for me until I had the opportunity to interact with a larger crowd.

I still didn’t realise it was so much of an issue until it started affecting my relationship with people sadly🥲. A lot of unmet expectations made me unable to see beyond my eyelids, the beautiful things my loved ones were doing for me😔.

Truly, too many demands and expectations won’t let them love you as much as they’d like and shockingly, as much as you’d like also. Love thrives in an atmosphere that’s condusive; where it can be accepted just the way it is🥰.

Unfortunately (or may be not), we are not in control of how people act, neither are we in control of how people decide to treat us🤷‍♀️. Letting love in means letting lose🤗, being vulnerable🙂, taking the risk of pulling out your happy🥳 or not so happy🤕 heart from the shields of your ribcage and putting it in the hands of another who claims to love you😬, without knowing for sure what he or she would do to or with it- yeah I know, terrifying right😶😖? You really don’t know if your heart would remain in it’s former state(likely not😶), or if it would fare better😊 or worse😑.

You know, before you invest in a business, you make calculations, and ensure that the chances of you making it big outweighs that of you incurring a huge loss, and even at that, you likely wouldn’t put in all your resources right?🤷‍♂️ It’s quite similar with love except that in this case, you’ll be putting in all of your heart, not some of it🙃.

Loving and being loved indeed is a risk😬 we take because really, we can’t exactly control how it’d go since it’s not a sole proprietorship but a partnership, and it goes 50-50😁. It’s not just our input alone that matters but another’s as well.

Loving a person and being loved by them takes way more than a decision😌, a confession🙈, or a nice gesture😻. It takes faith🤍; a courageous leap of faith. Cause whether we like it or not, there’s no other thing to hold on to except having a positive mindset, doing your best and believing that it wouldn’t end in tears😂.

Thank you for reading. Please remember to share your views with me in the comment section below.❤️

Sublimity

Oh! How hot you are that you shine so bright
Yet you fall on my heart as cold as ice


Displaying love so right
Yet dispersing hate like a spice


So beautiful you colour the night
Yet your eyes are like the death-darting eye of Cockatrice


Like two sides of a coin shining as light
Yet seizing the sight of all who stare, what a surprise!

What have you had or do you presently have in your life that you enjoy so much but you know can hurt or hurts you? Let’s discuss.

Pieces

Draw me close to the crux of your heart,
So I can get the message each beat holds,
Just like the tip of a dart,
Piercing my heart like an infarction, except that made of gold.

Each time you leave,
You take a piece of my heart along,
Torn in pieces and full of grieve,
I have had to wait so long.

I wish the oceans could sweep away my sorrow,
And the sun, show me the goodness of the day,
So I can once again feel life in my marrow,
Just like whenever “I love you” you say.

I want to hear you sing as loud as the trumpet,
Taking the Robin aback,
For your soft voice in my ears at sunset,
Makes me shiver like a drenched sack.

Hold my hands tightly,
Like the fierce clench of an eagle,
So we can walk a thousand miles finely,
Until alas, we are legal.

When I First Fell In Love

When I first fell in love,
I was really young,
I wasn’t even in a relationship.

When I first fell in love,
I didn’t even know I was in love,
Until he made me angry.

When I first fell in love,
I liked how I felt,
And who I felt it for.

When I first fell in love,
It was pure,
Without a tint or debris.

When I first fell in love,
Everyone around me knew I was in love,
There was nothing to hide.

When I first fell in love,
I can’t describe how it felt,
I just knew it was right.

When I first fell in love,
I needed no proof or confirmation,
I was secure in it.

When I first fell in love,
I didn’t care about anyone’s opinion of my Lover,
I just knew I wanted him.

When I first fell in love,
I forgot what it was like to not be in love,
Everything was in sync.

When I first fell in love,
I didn’t think there was anyone better than my Lover,
I was content and satisfied with everything.

When I first fell in love,
I didn’t have to overthink or second-guess,
I just knew it.

This poem above is pure and cannot be more real, everything there is true.
Have you ever been in love? If yes, how did it feel? How did you feel? Can you relate to the poem above?
