Standing before the Throne where Divinity holds sway,
The truth about choices, I will portray,
A woman’s decision, to happiness she would cling,
Yet in this mortal space, forgot her soul’s string.

Some yearn for wealth with desires ablaze,
Others plead for health, their voices raise,
But once on this Earth, a different path unfurls,
Chasing new dreams, as life’s river swirls.

“Why, O Creator?” their voices rise,
As plans unravel and hope belies,
Choices made before the heavenly gate,
Now seem distant, like a forgotten fate.

On palms, those choices etched in grace,
A celestial map, our destined space,
Hold firm, dear soul, to the path you have known,
Divine design shall guide you home.

Confused I stand alone,
A heart confined, emotions sown.
A marriage bond, once strong and true,
Yet in my soul, a rift I knew.

Through days of storms and nights of woe,
My heartache’s tide begins to grow.
In quiet moments, I yearned for grace,
A partner’s solace in life’s embrace.

When skies turned gray and hope grew thin,
I sought a haven deep within.
But in my cries, I found no ear,
No empathy to calm my fear.

To lean upon a shoulder dear,
In times of struggle, drawing near,
But all I heard was “be a man,”
A hollow phrase, no helping hand.

Inside, I am withering, a silent plea,
A tempest roars, she cannot see.
Unseen, I fade, my spirit’s dim,
Lost in the void, emotions grim.

Oh, how I wished for just one glance,
A glimpse into my soul’s expanse.
Yet still, I bear this weight alone,
Emotionally single, I have grown.

Naked I am, a heart laid bare,
Aching for someone to truly care.
In whispered echoes of my plight,
I am drowning in this endless night.© Ifedolapo Ogunniyi

Enveloped in sorrow’s grip, I recall,
My story of love, a life once whole.
My dear wife, now lost to time’s cruel twist,
Each verse and stanza,, I weave, “Cease to Exist.”

Her smile, a beacon in the darkest night,
Her laughter, a melody, pure and bright.
A mother’s embrace, tender and warm,
In her love, we found shelter from life’s storm.

A lover, a partner, oh, so divine,
Her touch, electric, like sweetest wine.
In passion’s dance, our hearts took flight,
Her presence, a replica of pure delight.

But fate’s cruel hand, relentless and cold,
Wrapped her in pain, stories untold.
I watched her fight, her spirit ablaze,
Yet, the torment she bore, my words cannot phrase.

The world lost its hue, its meaning, its grace,
When death’s icy fingers stole her embrace.
In solitude’s grip, life’s colors turned gray,
A widower’s lament, in the fading day.

Without her, life’s canvas is empty and bare,
A rhythm silenced, a love beyond compare.
In the void she left, I am adrift, alone,
A heart shattered, a soul turned to stone.

Cease to exist, without her love I remain,
A vessel of memories, a heartache’s refrain.
In emptiness embrace, her essence persists,
A love everlasting, “Cease to Exist.”

In the labyrinth of life, we stand,
Lost in moments, like grains of sand.
When shall the tides of fate align?
When shall the stars with brilliance shine?

Delay, the echo of whispered dreams,
In shadows cast, where hope gleams.
Time’s secret path, elusive and unclear,
Divine hands guide, as we persevere.

Through trials and tests, we learn to wait,
For destiny’s hour, to alter our fate.
In the curtains woven by hands unseen,
Breakthrough arrives, like a sunbeam’s sheen.

O Divine Being, keeper of time,
Lead us to the peak, the mountain to climb.
Though life’s course is complex, intricate, and vast,
We trust in the journey, from present to past.

When clocks align and purpose unfolds,
A symphony of moments, a story told.
The heart’s yearning, the soul’s gentle plea,
A dance with time, till our breakthrough is free.© Ifedolapo Ogunniyi
