Darkness is a type of aphasia
That hinders me from pronouncing words the right way.

(After Pamilerin Jacob’s There are no Emergency Rooms for the Soul)

The sky is the best place to find answers,
Answers to the mystery behind a trembling soul.
Everynight my body becomes a temple where a figure worships in ecstasy.

In my local dialect, rain and fear are spelt the same but different pronunciation.
I must have asked the sky in supplication for fear instead of rain.
A rain to wash this memory off me,
A rain to quench this burning feelings that a certain eye lurks in every darkness.

Fear is a disease I’m prone to
I twitch like I’m epileptic muttering unknown words.

Darkness is a type of aphasia
That hinders me from pronouncing words the right way.

About Post Author

Kayode Adedoyin

I am that voice that cries from the wilderness of thought, I am he that was stripped off his weaknesses, nakedly I walked into my full potentials. I am he whose tortured veins were burst opened by creativity, I am he that feeds the mind of people with the riches of his words cos ideas are the food my astute mind produce. I am engineer kay, An hyperopic dwarf that chooses to sit on the shoulder of giants.
