Broken crayons still color By: E. D. Oghre



I still remember how I started,
It was beautiful,
Sometimes i look back and which for that innocence,
But alas its too late,
I remember what mama said to me,
She said;
Son, you have a goal and a future
Don't lose sight of it,
But oh i can't find it anywhere in my scope,
You see i was deceived by what I saw,
It was the first time I was out of the house.

The sounds, the sights, the people,
Oh the people!
Who knew freedom could be so intoxicating,
At first I kept my goal in sight,
Straying but never going too far,
But now;
Its too late,
I look back and I can't find my destination,
I call out;
Mummy where are you?

Mummy save me,
But I am scared,
I lost my way!
And wondered into a battle i knew nothing about,
Hands covered in blood,
And head bowed in shame,
I cried!!
My legs lost the ability to hold me up,
And i sit in disperse,
Why did i ever listen to them?

I never knew it will lead to this,
I lost my way!!
But then i met Him,
He turned my life around,
Set me on my feet!
And told me my scares  are beautiful,
He changed my life,
Who is He you ask?
Well he is Jesus!!!
I will never forget what he said to me as i sat in desperation;
He told me
"BROKEN CRAYONS STILL COLOR"
go and achieve your dreams.

Echoes of My Soul By: Similafleur

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

Touching Story

     A cat was so faithful    that the woman    could leave her baby    with it & go out to    attend other matters.    She always returned    to find the child    soundly asleep with    the cat faithfully    watching over him.    One day something    tragic happened. The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego. In our brother’s mind, he was good.  On the 14th of December, 2016,  she left him without a word. He called her, texted her, but she did not reply and he continued with his life and he dated no one else. Two months later, his brother had an accident and needed blood. Of course, he ...
