A Candlelight Nearing Its End
by Keats Azla
An oak wood burning--a crisp
crackling hum of fire from
the hearth, sends a comforting
consolation, as I longed for you
With such fervent zeal, I can
no longer suppress, like a
throbbing pain in my head
as I think of you, incessantly.
A warm, hearty and moreish
porridge, provide warmth and
security, same as though when
you cherished me in your embrace
With such feeling of home and family.
Oh, my beloved, I ask of you,
'How long am I to wait?'
My scrawny fingers are growing tired
And cold, as I write these
letters, I could no longer see
for, the looming winter begins
to obscure the remaining light
Of Autumn. A lanky candle
illuminates my very dark room, as
I ponder and ruminate of
our long-awaited reconciliation

Reconcile
We are told to reconcile with our past,
Even set a day to celebrate our oppressors,
How do we reconcile and move on when the
Oppressor is a mother, a father or even
Another child.
The past is a time capsule that's best kept
Shut.
But Wait - Reconciliation is the form of
coming back together right?
then why does it hurt us when we do reconcile.
We look in the mirror and still see scars,
The time capsule called the past has been
Broken - just like our hearts, you see,
Events from the past are easily triggered
Almost like a automatic assault rifle -
Your words are the bullets that pierce the
Heart, makes it hard to smile freely and
Reconcile.

Strength
You are just as strong as your ability to reconcile with your past, learn from it, apply it in the present and define your future.

Ubuntu
Have you ever met a theistic electron,
Or a proton with a certain coloured skin?
Have you ever seen the neutrons at war
Over the parts of the world they're in?
Have you ever heard any hatred fly
Out of the mouths of a mitochondria?
Or observed bigotry towards a haemoglobule
Because of its sexuality, or gender?
For some reason when we separate our parts
Such unkindness would seem absurd,
Yet when they're assembled all together
None are concepts we haven't all heard.
As humans we fail at times to remember
That a force exists between me, and you,
And the rest us; that we all deserve treatment
In the spirit of "Ubuntu".
"Ubuntu" should be our default.
Before we speak, we act, or decide.
Perhaps if we did we'd be more civil
Rather than choosing to "take a side"
We all begin life the very same way,
And we all end up in the same place.
My utopian heart would gladly welcome a day
Where we shed status, titles, and race.
Such sounds like such an impossible feat,
For the whole Earth won't change in a day.
Yet even if Ubuntu is commited to, little by little
It would still change the world in a beautiful way.

~Reconciliation~
And just like that
Eyes in eyes
They shook hands
With a warm smile on the
face
Filled with grace
Of an unimposed silence
they remained
Until they parted

DARK-SHINE
When it's dark-time you the sunshine:
Though you dark skinned, you still shine
Shine bright than the sunlight;
You lit up all my life
You the definition of a good time;
Shine bright! My dark-shine.
A twist in time and you mine:
When you with me everything fine
You a great girl
I'm a good guy
You the definition of a good vibe;
You make fly! My dark-shine.
A twist in time now it's wartime:
Everything now like it's end time
Having nightmares that you no long'r mine
Will fight a good fight, babe fight a good fight
It's hard time now, No time out
One more time, we can still shine
Let us shine; Let us shine.
"I cannot reverse the past. But trust me when I say I now a whole different person.
This few days have taught me to be a better person, a better person for you.
Please, do not punish me with a breakup.
I don't wanna leave, I just want to be with you".

Enough!
Enough I've had enough
Righteous anger mixed with love
So much time, it was too much
And you still left me in your dust
You split town to chase a clown,
And you're the punchline don't you see?
He fooled you once, he'll fool you twice
But I won't be around for three.
Put the time in on my knees,
Every night I prayed for you,
I loved you good, I touched you good,
But I won't be a slave to you.
You said that I did all that I could,
But that still wasn't enough,
Regardless what I did or tried,
Your heart was void of any love.
I went to God and asked Him,
How do I save my Wife from sin?
But He took that burden off me,
Said son it's time to rise again.
See some people have a call,
And those people get attacked,
Unfortunately sometimes families
Turn into devil's snacks.
So go ahead and punch the floor,
Scream your lungs out make em sore,
Fight the battles in the spirit,
Put yourself in holy war.
But if she's letting evil in,
Running back time and time again,
Then your the one who looks a fool,
You might as well just let her win.
It's time to set yourself apart,
Let her go and save your kids,
Do the best you can with all you have,
Ley your life down and you will live!
I've got bigger plans for you,
If you stay strong now you will see,
I've made you bold brave and courageous,
So now submit and fight for me!
I need warriors on this battlefield,
And you've been fighting all your life,
The time has come for you to choose
To chase the wrong or love what's right.
I will return to you what's stolen,
Make your heart whole where it was broken,
You've done well now just stay focused,
I'm proud of you to no end.
If a wife and mother is what you want
I'll give you that, I'll fill your cup
But the promises won't stop there,
Just run your race and DON'T GIVE UP!

A WARRIOR IN THE JUNGLE
"Wod Luo" Do not stay in the Jangle,
Come back home..
A great warrior never leaves his people, Alone
Especially if they need him most.
Why do you have to live your life in the bush?
When we are here waiting for you,
To welcome you with a heartfelt joy
Like the prodigal son.
"Wod luo,"
Even dogs eat from the remains of the children
You are a child yourself
And your food is still covered waiting for you to come and enjoy.
You fought battles and was always victorious,
I guess you ain't yet exhausted
But don't wait until you are too tired to come home.
Come back when you are still young and active.
We all know you are an ivory
But if you reach your golden age in the bush,
You may become too sweet for the lion.
"Wod Luo" means Son of The Acholi
A tribe in Northern Uganda which experienced the Lord Resistance Army's war Outbreak.

DADA
Dada,
The memory that you created for us all
Is undeniable,
Which part would one forget..
The one that you ended people's life without warning,
Or the one that you sexually assaulted many #women?
Truth is, the pain, Tears,
Agony,and Frustration you caused,
Not even a yesterday's Child will
Not be told.
You robbed young women
Of their #Dignity with your
"Manly pacts"
And with a flaming eyes, You
Torn apart human Flesh.
Being you were alive,
You would forever be in the
Depts of the People,
But in the heart of A #mother,
There's always love and Forgiveness
What's done is done
There are red and black Roses
But you'll always choose one...
And you chose black
Yes, black
Yet if you were still here,
The People would give you a second chance,
A chance to choose...
With a hope that this time, it would be red.

FIERY CHARIOT!
Evangelism is a fiery chariot with a burning messenger,
preaching a blazing Gospel on wheels of fire!
Allow the Holy Spirit to make your ministry His chariot.

LOVERS' SUIT
Come and take a walk with me,
As i retract my soul from the shadows of enviousness,
Hold my hands as we imprison your mobile loneliness.
This walk will heal a lot,
Trapping our feet from slipping to divorce,
I plea thee, in chains and with mercy,
Let this suit begin our unity.
Of course you know, heroism will be vague,
If by your refusal, i am given to plague.
Grant me this request,
So I may rest in good health.

#soulwriterRaindrops
The cloud slowly moved above us like a white blanket
so beautiful one would think it was for a banquet
it came in peace with blessing from on High
That mercy will soon descend from the covered sky
Awakening the land that so longingly waited
to be nourished by its droplets and be feted
My eyes wish to mimic this magnificent droplet
a teardrop rolls down my cheek into my goblet
Grateful I ought to be for the rain and the lesson
how the rain can so miraculously the earth freshen
The trees are smiling and the seed ready to sprout
New life is starting and too many blessings to count
The rain washes away that which is a bit of waste
Watch the seed grow in its time with no apparent haste
The seed will sprout and break through the earth
announcing its arrival that a new life has sprung forth
It started with the first droplet of rain from on high
Nourish yourself in the mercies which you can't deny
Be like the seed readied for a new life and growth
Therein lies the magical garment with which you clothe

#abutameem #mirakee #writersnetwork @writersnetwork @writersnetwork101Turning Darkness into Light
We fought hard as we sought the prize
But I never thought you'd resort to lies
It does seem that you never will regret
You likely don't care if we ever again met
I extend my hand to you in resolution
Even though you still battle your delusion
I have no qualms in saying that I'm sorry
Life is way to short for all this worry
As I pray for myself I do for you
Turning your back is what you may rue
It is not I who will be the final judge
And your happiness I never do begrudge
As the clock ticks it is time to say farewell
Never do I pray for any to land in hell
Time waits for no one to do what is right
Relief of a burden turns darkness to light

Cloudy skies being still
Rock in my chair
Take my pill
Sounds relaxing and conforming
Old age realized
Steps been taken
Revitilized
Energies tapped
Healings proceed
Life still on your side
Push aside individuals greed
Speak out
This is the time
For awakening and judgement
Its not a crime
You have paid your dues
Learned from your experiences
So thats it
Let them come
Debates , discussions and the odd grievances

Old house
Up the stairs
Flee the media
The news are a mush
No clear answers explanations
Drawn out probes
Cancelled trusts
A cold breeze hits your face
You almost miss a step
Hidden wisdoms in the attic
Questioned truth one stair up
Once you enter this realm
Can you wishful take those steps back
Into the main arena
And then stay calm ?

#mirakee #poems #poetry #writersnetwork #quotes #quote #writersofinstagram #stories #ttt #quoteoftheday #writersofig #writersofmirakee #wordporn #writing #writerGood times they had
Parents stories from long ago
Born into the scene
Refugees came from the east
Driven west by revengeful forces
Regime collapsed
People punished
grabbing possesions loading their carts
Endless treks boiled chickens in bag
Peace came houses shared
They are all the same
Growing gardens stilling liqoir
Villages become sanctuaries
Bombed cities repaired
Forgotten the hate distrust of their neighbour
Memories buried
The odd hero story shared while sipping alcohol
Missing limbs malaria
Missing persons agencies established
Years after a brother arrives
In his ragged infested coat
A mother is crying her son in her arms
Suffering has been wholing a country
Inflicted by madmen
Poisoned seed spread for years
Good times did come
Poverty united
Rebuild and forget
A new country became shape

War Crimes
You're war-torn,
And I'm battle-damaged,
I don't know what to do.
I am not the enemy,
I just wear the uniform.
The flag of truce hangs ripped and worn,
I reach out my hand,
I can't make you take it,
I try to say something,
But it all comes out in Russian.
I don't know how to make you understand.
Would you understand my tears?
I came to say the war was over.
To stand down.
To go home.

Reunion
If you let me in again
I will make a promise
An oath to God to love myself
While loving you regardless
Time has passed
Healing the wounds
We sustained while living in the darkness
What year is it again?
Your voice takes me back
To when we first met
At the bar in July
That hot summer night
I feel a jolt
Be still, my heart
My stomach flips
As a warmth travels down through it
Excitement
Attraction
Automatic reaction
How are you lately?
How so do you feel?
You are ecstatic
Because I'm here
Sober
Healthy
Full of life
Loving
Balanced
You take me in for an embrace
My arms are wrapped around your neck
My head is lying against your chest
I close my eyes
The rhythmic beat of your heart
Is my favorite song of all
Excuse me, but
I'm still in love
The silence is a blessing
Keeps my secret safe and secured
Or is the silence just a curse?
A wall too tall to reach the top
No way to break through it at all
The fear of a love that's unrequited
The fear of falling back into old habits
I shed these tears
Without answers
Quietly
But my body trembles
Overwhelmed with emotion
I am shaking even harder
Both embarrassed and afraid
Will he feel awkward?
Will he pull away?
I feel stupid and pathetic
Knowing that I've ruined this
Revealing what's been obvious
But left unsaid regardless
I won't say a fucking word
These tears
They speak for themselves
And while they could mean anything
He knows the truth
I know this too
And suddenly
I am sobbing uncontrollably
Into his shirt
A loud outburst
That pleads
That begs
That protests
That defends against what will come next
Rejection
Disappointment
And sympathy
In place of any empathy
To protect himself from me
My eyes are squeezed
Tightly shut
In his shirt
I don't want to catch his gaze
See his face
In fact, I want to run away
Hopelessly, I try to move
He pulls me closer
Tightening his hold
Embracing me as if he will never let go
His face now buried in my hair
I'm crushed against him
Desperation settles here
Covering us with the fear
Of letting go
Of missing this
The love that's lasted between us
Through the thickest
Through the thinnest
Through the absence
And the distance
This love that saved us both from the Hell
From slowly killing each other through it all
The love that reunited us
Overwhelming and miraculous
These tears cleansing us of doubt
Restoring hope
Healing wounds
Inflicted by the demons of our toxic past
A venomous grudge
That can't outlast
The love we share
The truth it brings
To our lives
Weighs so much more than the petty lies we once fell for
This moment ties it off
The open ends
The bleeding limb
The tourniquet
To save us from separation
To reconcile and become as one
Through this encounter
Under God

I long for reconciliation with you but you remain estranged to make further moments with you....
What atonement do you expect from me to reconcile?
