"Is love worth it" By: E. D. Oghre

They say love hurts, that it beats you down, breaks your heart and shatters your soul.
But the question is this, is it worth it ?
Well the answer is,
No!
But if you doubt me then listen to my story.

I met Jane 3 years ago and from that day, I was in love.
You see she was perfect to me, her dazzling eyes and breath taking smile.
She was my true love, my other half, she completed me and in her presence I had peace . Or so I thought.
My friends warned me that girls like her only fell for the money, but what did they know about love?
Our love was strong, it was greater than money. They were just jealous.
They told me that everytime I bought her a new cloth, she used it to go out with other guys, but who will believe such blasphemy against my precious dear.

Until one faithful day, my brother came from overseas and so I decided to introduce her to him.
Now three months after, I stand in church waiting for their wedding to start.
Two weeks ago, Jane broke up me and then my brother announced his wedding to her.
And the funniest thing is that he still had mind to make me the best-man.
Don't worry, I will be the best best-man.
So you see love hurts, it breaks your heart and shatters your soul.
But the question is this, is it worth it?
Well hell No!
That was last thought in my head as I pulled out the gun from my pocket, pulled back the safety and fired.

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift. ©-Marvee

The So Called Queen By:Salawu Olubunmi

_The so called queen of the zanger A woman of misery and deceptive appearance Wags tongue in a swordlike How angelic she be when seeking the honey frm it's comb With her romantic but deceitful display The first sight of her left me in dismay First encounter with her was heartrending Such a sweet poison A devil in disguise wit an angelic face The so called queen can neither be embraced nor avoided.

🌹My Tale (Part 3) By:🌹Sapphire🌹

Mama's call was all I needed to wake me up from my sea of reminiscence, stealthily I walked as my weary feet could carry me and in no distant time I was standing before what I will call "bundle of golden memories", I was dazed by the sight of him, we stared at each other for some seconds then he roared " bia Chigozie, so you think because you have seen and eaten with oyibo, you have automatically became gold that everybody must come and seek ehh ogbehia" this words came with the same ever bright smile and jovial intonation, without bidding an eyelid I retort, " come ooo whatever you call yourself since when did sand become the mate of gold eeh this son of mazi Okonkwo ,I can see that the spirit of the animals your father has hunted are already at work in you, better appeal to your chi to pardon you and no put the sins of your father on you" I said smiling.
