Welcome to the
Inner sanctuary
Of my heart,
Where everything
Is chaotic;
Where order is foreign
And confusion is king.
Enter, pray don’t
Mind the raging emotions,
Nor the fiery temper;
Pay no heed to the
Howl of fear
And the wailing
Of insecurities.
You may get stung
By my insensitivity
Buzzing all around
The place,
Your heels may be
Buffeted by the
Indifference that litter
The floor.
Find a place,
Amidst the clutter of
My pains and aches
Strewn all over,
To sit;
And if you don’t mind
The bitterness stains,
Please do rest your back.
Stay, if the stink
Of my foul mouth
Doesn’t disgust you,
If the stench of
My rotten thoughts
Is not overwhelming
And if the sweltering
Heat of my passion
Do not suffocate you.
Only you
Know me,
See me,
Feel me;
The outward mien
Of calm and order
That they see
Amazes you.
How can such
Order proceed from
The chaos within?
How can such insanity
Birth soundness?
I am an enigma,
But for you, I strip
Naked

Jeez! These words are so deep, toxic and arsenic yet soothing cos they’re honest and true, emanating from a place, devoid of masks and any such adornments. No pretences, all gloves are off! No matter how much of an enigma a person comes across as, there’s always at least one person who sees through the charade, to unmask such a fella. There’s a need to have a friend, a confidante, besides God; someone with whom we can just be ourselves, naked, no fronting or keeping up of appearances. A person who gets us and delights in us for the mere reason that we’re who we are, regardless of whatever flaws we have. ‘Monkey no fine, but hin mama like am’, that kinda thing. And usually, this said person’s a spouse, at least; its much safer that way. Lolzzzzzz!
Wow Doc, another wonderful composition. May your fountain of wisdom never run dry IJN, Amen. You did terrific, so I say; ‘go on soun, no shakings, nothing dey happen’! LMAO!

it is a blessing to find that one person whom you can be yourself with and who will accept you unconditionally……
sadly, even one’s spouse may not be that person…but one should strive to make one’s spouse that person…
thanks and Amen to your prayers.
so, is this person your spouse?

Yes he is. A fine man, he knows me through and through. With him, I’m an open book as in wide open. It helped that we were besties before taking our relationship to the next level, which is the way it oughta be. So, yeah; I married my friend first of all before my lover. I’m also blessed to have a few trusted friends I can bare my soul to, some I’ve only known for a short while but it feels like we’ve known ourselves for all of eternity. The chemistry’s just there and it feels right. So there you have it. Lol!

sometimes, it is not the length of time that we have known a person that matters but finding a kindred spirit…
