Chris tries to use poetry to give a voice to the ones whose voices have been lost or taken away from them. He is currently working on a series of songs that species under severe threat of extinction might sing – if we had ears to listen to them. Blue Whale is one of them. Continue reading Blue Whale
Many are the mental struggles of mankind.
Daily we fight wars for and against our fragile egos. Continue reading Ego My Dear
The band is composed of Gin (孙吉) and CaiCai (蔡秉汝) . They both have a strong sense of music and a seamless ability to create musical masterpieces together. Both of them excel in impromptu ensembles; their powerful telepathy even makes their rehearsing sounds like an improvisation. A tasteful blend of Chinese and Western in its true form, the sound of the band is one with a soul. Recently, this duo have begun to delve more into the divine world of photography.

I feared no end.
A joyful will, I penned it down.
Years went by, faces changed.
The Sun remained the same. Continue reading Salt & Ashes

Featured Piece written by Derek Oluwamuyiwa Fodeke-Rodgers ©
If we talked…
If we talked and I spoke sweet words…
If we talked and my words cradled your face like they were hands…
If you heard everything you’ve ever wanted will you truly be happy?
Or would you mimic me?
Whisper the words you want to hear to your self.
Cradle your own face with your own words. Continue reading Words

Arthur’s Introduction to this piece
I have looked at how my world has changed so much and how creative we have become and the extent of magic we can pull up with our creativity from our devices and everything. However, I also felt the need to talk about the downside of all these great things and how people don’t fit. I played the part of the architect generation and how I am happy to see the delusion, the reality and all the glamour of everything and how it seems to all play into my grand plan. As such, I titled it. A THOUSAND MEGAPIXELS. Enjoy. Continue reading A Thousand MegaPixels
“I am like a moth to the flame of a beautiful soul.
A bee to the scent of a flowering heart.
A predator to the prey called negativity
A David to the Goliath of helplessness.
A Paul to the ministry of repentance.
A triumphant student to the lessons of life.
Water to the wilderness of the dying mind.”

Poem Written by Sandra Chukwudumebi Obiora 11.37am 21.05.2013 ©
‘Things are about to change! Prepare your heart for things will not stay the same.
You were wrong to indulge so much my dear. Stand up, dust up.
Unwise I might add, because now it is very hard for you to let go.
You should have just schemed the surface. Should not have gone in so deep.’
‘Now you are lost. Not sure why you must lose this comfort, if you will.
Yes you will. Reality is cruel my darling. So tie up your laces. Get ready.’
‘It will be taken away from you like it was never present.
It will become just like a mere figment of your imagination.’
‘Tighten your belts’; said the host.
‘Prepare for the next stage of your ride,
That phase where you lose it all again, to get it all back again;
In new forms, new faces, new shapes, new sizes, new voices, new knowledge’ he added.
‘For indeed many things will be lost, and many others gained.
Still you must persevere in this new weather you are soon to enter. Tighten your belt my love.’
‘Latch on to your parachute right now. Keep your head high.
For soon, the latch will be forced open, the wind will be let in, and you sent flying. So be strong!’.

It appears you must always be by my side
For me to think more about you.
I know I may promise you now
That I will think about you everyday that you are away,
But we both know that is untrue. Continue reading Forgotten Lover

The difference between us is not something that you can see.
Even if you take a careful look. No.
Can you see it? No.
It is not about our skin color.
No, it is not in the color of our eyes.
It is not about our gender. Nor is it about age.
It even has nothing to do with intellect.
Yet, believe me when I tell you that we are different. It is all in the mind you see.
For as you know, we are both standing on this bridge called life together.
While you yearn to make it successfully through to the end,
I yearn to jump off this ledge if just to put an end to all of this sorrow I feel.
Do you see? Can you understand our difference now?
Yet you rest your hand upon my shoulder and say: ‘Friend, I understand.’
With bewilderment, I laugh in bemusement. Wondering if you have gone deaf.
Yet you refuse to let me go. You hold on to me in a comforting hug.
Whispering words of wisdom, words of courage, words of hope.
Words that sound too good to be true.
With tears dripping down my cheeks, I hear you whisper to me;
“‘Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.
Before you were born, I sanctified you.’
‘In this world, you will have trouble.
But be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.’
Yes, ‘I am with you even till the end of the age.’
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

“Is it wrong of me to wish for that chill ?
that horrible wind that blows past skin and heads straight to the bones, turning them to ice, turning eyes to glass, and hearts to meditative melancholy? ~
For it appears winter has tarried too long already.
For my soul finds more rest in the midst of white and grey.”
By Sandra C. Obiora 2016 Continue reading White and Grey

So I write her a letter to remind her;
She is a bad queen. Continue reading A Letter to Myself

One great man was mocked because of his lifelong agenda and effort to bring about peace in his community.
This man worked, strived, suffered and later died for peace.
He will be seen as a peace maker, the reconciler, the forgiver of many many wrongs.
He welcomed the concept of generosity, and begged that each man care for his neighbor. Continue reading Birthing Emeralds
