Sophocles Writes

The moment Hannah said “I do”, her life was about to change forever and she never had a clue

She fell hopelessly in love with the son of the richest tycoons in the country (or so she thought), Mr. Kwame Philip a year ago and he had asked her to spend the rest of her life with him.
Fairy tale or not, he was her prince charming, she felt like the luckiest woman in the world
The wedding was exquisite, enough to eat, drink and merry.
At dusk, she decided to go back to her room. She didn’t call for Philip because he seemed pretty occupied.
As she walked slowly down the hall, she felt something or someone following her, she didn’t know what it was but didn’t dare to turn back.
She picked up her pace again and walked as fast as she could, but the figment remained behind her. Then she took to her heels till she got to her room.
She looked out the window and the courtyard that was once filled with people 5 minutes earlier, had become a graveyard!
She gasped!…She took her phone her phone and tried to call Philip but “Not available” it kept saying.
Hannah was perplexed!
She moved to the dresser, looked into the mirror and saw them!
In that fleeting moment, it all came to her, her prince charming, the wealth, the family….it was all a façade
She had been dinning with the demons from hell
In a dark and hoarse voice, they said “WELCOME TO THE FAMILY”

We need ye help
We are helpless
We do not know what else to do
And who else to run to

Our streets are deserted
Our minds are crowded
With thoughts of wails
And screams of affected nations

Here we are,
With a plague that rise from Asia
Eating deep all over the world
With no means of alleviation

Our workplaces are empty
Even religious houses are vacant
Our world seems to longer belong to us
It has become a new thing we dread

Who else but you will rescue us
We look up to you mother nature
To ease our minds
And grant us your healing prowess

The feelings were raw
Intense can be used to define it
It was nothing like anything
I have always felt

Just a stare at her curves
Is enough to melt a brick of ice
The way she walks
To the way she moves it all

She used it all to cage me
I was mesmerized by it all
And met myself in cloud nine
Enjoying an unending bliss

But then, in a blink of an eye
I realized i’m just one of her tools
To satisfy her urges
Nevertheless,She still remain my forever Cinderella.

Its starting to feel like a figment of my imagination
Like it was once present but it never really was there

This emptiness, this loneliness
No amount of pills and potions is enough to fill this black hole

Tons of gold and silver would never suffice for what has been lost, what now feels like a mirage

What I wish for, but never will be
What I yearn for but can never have

The vacuum that can never be filled
The great love I once used to feel for thee
has become nothing but ash dust
5 feet apart is what we are now

For many years, I have searched for answers, searched for clues;
Searched for the true meaning of life

They say “look upon the stars and you shall find the answers you seek”
Yet I gaze upon these stars, to find nothing but sparkling dots that speak nothing to me;

What purpose have I of being here?
Of what purpose do I keep living?
This cubicle is nothing but a perfect lie!

I seek to find its true meaning, I seek to find the purpose of my existence;
I seek to find the path on which my lost soul shall thread.
