You cried at your birth But they cried even louder. You travelled through tough terrains But you found no rest amongst brothers, Father. Even mother. You espied the gathering of souls But you felt sole. Alone. The look on thier faces moved more tears Out from eyes. That was before your brother came. Before the… Continue reading DEAR GIRL… DREAM! by Joshua Levites

LOST DREAMER by Stephen Onawale
I bring to you words from the distant land, a world you once knew, from the land of immense possibilities. A world where fear is vanquished and fish fly in the sky.

MAIDEN WITHIN THE SHADOWS by Adeosun Pelumi
My eyes grew heavy with sleep and like a pair of heavy doors, They shut with a muted thud I rode the tide of a fevered sleep And in my delirium I saw her again.

A LOVELY DREAM: Aremu Adams Adebisi

THE NIGHTMARES VISITED ME TOO by Adeosun Pelumi
The gentle sigh of the night Lured me to sleep As i left behind the whispers Echoing through the voidness That suddenly surrounded me A hard descent, it was As i found myself In a blissful state of unrest; I was dreaming Drifting further and farther In my disembodied state I chanced upon a gathering;… Continue reading THE NIGHTMARES VISITED ME TOO by Adeosun Pelumi

Special are the chords that strike the gaping abyss of my mind. Shivers run playfully from my dreams, through my long days with lowly tunes. It’s a bite of a sweet, poisoned apple.
