Hello, and welcome

To my dedicated readers,
I say hello.
And to my new readers,
I say welcome.
Been a while since I dropped here,
Life has been unfair,
Can’t complain, but that’s why we call it Life.

The romance I always write about has been abolished from my heart.
The pain I write about has suppressed all feelings of hope.
The older we grow, the more difficult it becomes
But we have to move on and continue to struggle
To fight!
To move!
To wake up and keep the cycle going.

Hello You, after every hardship comes ease.

Anthology of Poems

Hey there, my wonderful friends!

I hope you’re all doing great! I wanted to take a moment to apologize for not being as active on this platform as I used to be. But don’t worry, there’s a good reason behind it! I’ve been diligently working on something special that I’m excited to share with you all.

Guess what? I’m in the process of putting together an incredible anthology! It will feature the most beloved poems from my blog, carefully selected with the help of your support, comments, and likes. Without you, none of this would be possible!

Now, here’s where I need your continued support. I plan to publish this anthology on Amazon and to add an extra sprinkle of delight, I aim to release it on my upcoming birthday! It would mean the world to me if you could join me on this journey by checking out and grabbing a copy of my anthology.

Your encouragement and companionship have been invaluable throughout my blogging adventure, and I feel incredibly grateful for every one of you. Together, let’s celebrate the power of poetry and embark on this exciting next chapter!

Thank you in advance for your unwavering support. I’m truly excited about this project and can’t wait to share it with all of you. Stay tuned for more updates, and let’s make this anthology a beautiful tribute to our shared love for words.

Sending my heartfelt appreciation,

Ridwan Akinkunmi AJAGBE.

The Dark

Darkness is not only the absence of light.
Darkness is an entity.
Darkness lurks around,
Even in the home of light.

Darkness is eternal,
It is surreal,
And the fear of darkness,
Is the beginning of wisdom!
The mastery of darkness,
Is the beginning of living.

Happy Anniversary Sophocles Writes

Around this time last year (2019), I created this blog and started uploading poems and short stories regularly. It has been an amazing experience for me I have to confess. I was very consistent in the beginning, but along the way my commitment dropped. And for that, I am solely to be blamed.

An avid reader of this blog would have noticed that I am not the only writer her. I have other three amazing authors; Amazing Pen, Marieabd and Bassien. Bassien uploaded just one poem though, but she has lots of works in her draft which she never uploaded. Lol. I miss her here.

Amazing Pen is the first author that joined me, and her posts speaks for her. She is a an awesome poet that focuses more on women rights and support for the girl child. And to you I say thank you so much for being a part of Sophocles Writes.

Marieabd (who also happens to be my crush, that woman is beautiful 😉) joined early this year. And just like me, her works cut across all genres of poetry and majorly on horror stories. Check out her works and I promise you’d be wowed.

I know this space have been dry die quite a while. But I promise to wake up the vibes we’ve always served you on Sophocles Writes. This might be our one year anniversary here, but it’s you (our readers) that we are celebrating.

Cheers to another awesome year of creativity!
