Struggle

By
Half way up the mountain
Snow capped peak beckoning
Parched, wineskin dry, no fountain
Base so far. No returning
My heart longs for both
Quizzically. What's the solution
Stone set, unchangeable oath
The end is near, living on rations
The tiniest movement
Triggered an avalanche
Consuming all in it's path
I might just jump and break a neck
Either way
See you soon
Always dark, no way
For light in the abyss of darkness lagoon

Omolola mi Because of you, I can trek from Awe all the way to Sabo From the jungles of Akinmoorin to the slums of Isale-Oyo, Even if you want, I can forsake my beloved fufu for noodles.

I started lighting things up for fun when I was a teenager, the exact age of which I could not remember now. I remembered the time I failed a test, I went back home and brought out a box of matches and lit the test scripts on fire. The joy I felt when the papers burnt erased the sorrow of failing the test. And the climax came when the score burnt. 62/70 looked beautiful when the flame erased the terrible score. Fire erase imperfections.
