I still do

You wandered far from home
Listened to the stranger's voice
Telling everyone who cared
How you are better alone

The crown I placed on your head
Remember how I bought it?
I laboured under the weight of a log
My back bare and sore
Oh the spiteful glare on everyone's face as I go to labour for you

I wooed you with my love
Though you never considered
The long walks I took to meet you
From the Rosy alley down to the brink of the desert
Too persuaded to be discouraged by the sun's scourge.

I had you, I remember
You said yes and we embraced.
Because you lived by the brink of the desert
I searched for a place for you along the Rosy alley close to the fountain.
You blossomed to become the fairest
You were the beautiful pearl I hung on my neck for all to see.

Till you heard that there was an oasis in the desert
And how your friends there blossomed.
So you turned to the desert
From the rosy alley you took a  step at a time.
A peep turned into a feasting gaze
Until weeks back when you packed and left.

Still I love you
I'll keep taking trips to see you
Please turn away from the desert
The oasis you saw
Was a facade and and a deceiving sight.
It was actually a large bowl of water.

I still love and care for you
In my deepest heart
I long to be with you
It's my utmost desire
That you blossom
And the false oasis would not support your growth
Return!  Return!!
I earnestly plead
For I love you deeply.

Reviews

While I love reading reviews of the books I like, I prefer to read the reviews after the book. Because id like to face the story without the veil of bias and recognize the intent of the writer. I love to experience the book. While some book reviews are enlightening, some are discouraging both to the writer and the reader. So pick a book. Read it nevertheless and discover it for yourself then give your review. Books are treasures. Dig in! Here are some books I read recently and I think you'll love them too: The five people you meet in heaven by Mitch Albom The man called ove by Fredrik Backman The fountainhead by Ayn Rand Do well to check them out.

Cliché..

I took a walk heading towards your house But I refrained my steps just at the entry Tried to dial your number But stopped myself mid way. I slide into your social media page Saw your pictures  Your perfect smile Then I left without replying your DM How do you understand? A little bit of low and high.

Uncertainty

 Well, I woke up today with a feeling of uncertainty. Everyone's got a plan of where they want to be. But these plans are clouded with fear and uncertainty. But this word from Psalm 32: 8 comes to mind. It reads " The   Lord   says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.   I will advise you and watch over you." (NLT) So rest my friend on the assurance that the Lord of Host is working on your behalf. Cheers!
