[title] => Valentine's Goodbye
[time] => 2013-02-18 02:52:48
[hometext] => The comical dramas of the last Valentine's day was halted by the news of Goldie Harvey's death, A Nigeria-based Singer and a famous African act.
[bodytext] => VALENTINE'S GOODBYE Feb14th, valentine’s day it's called the whole world colored red so many talks too many expectations A super bright day love in the air, I got choked held my breath, like I saw it coming a tragic dusk, to wrap up its comics Happy Val! Wish you same! the most common words flying everywhere, all day on everyone’s lips gifts, some sent others got, some neither like a swarm of bees social network so flooded traffic jam so crazy faces on Facebook too many Tweets rolling in in myriads "HashtagFeb14" trending all around the world it seemed The day speeding so fast our hearts wants it drag suddenly the dark cloud surfaced so thick we panicked Goldie! Goldie!! Goldie!!! that word bouncing everywhere isn’t that the singer’s name? “Say My name” I heard that few minutes ago this time a dirge Social network got the rush much grieve, the “Naija community” she’s dead...true, false, yes, no questions and confirmations But she was on a global screen..."BBA" so real they took her for granted so loving they felt folly ‘waging’ tongues everywhere but simply human, a love being she was couldn’t help but break down the “Kenyan” her weakness Some asked why do fools fall in love? forgetting that’s what we are when it comes to love some loved, some hated that’s pure reality you win some, you lose some like scalene triangles, different sides to life wow! so we lost her, our 'social eye' how disheartening so why all the struggles why do we die to live when at the end, we live to die still the ephemerality of life Wanna be this, wanna be that actors on the stage called world wanna play all these roles when we don’t even know if the “Director” is about to yell “cut!” So much pains in our hearts Goldie is gone, many dreams unfulfilled who knows who’s next? we keep moving though on a journey to the unknown Either good or bad we gamble writing our names as we go in sands or carved in stones No fairness in life we only pray for a fair share here today, tomorrow no more how frail life is how transient our stay Each day we wake gets us closer to the grave we don’t know when only the “Supreme” has an idea he brought us here he’ll take us back...at will no one questions who dares anyway? Now we say 'goodbye Goldie' someday, they’ll say same to you, to me the difference is ‘now’ and ‘then’ make the difference between you have today, seize it! tomorrow is never guaranteed Write your name in stones neither time nor space erases longer days we pray God bless the dead Silence.............

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
