FLYING ANTS AND TERMITES

Date: Thursday 28^th April 2011 AD

Time: 21:53 GMT

Venue: My Room

Place: My Bed

Activity: Watching Tom & Jerry

Then it began

The clouds squeezed without concern

Draining all its fluids unto the earth

Accompanied with strong winds

Thunder and lightning

The weather cooled

I took off my t-shirt

I will sleep ‘keke’

A little while later, I felt them

Wriggling, crawling on my hairy skin

Tickling me

I shot up, switched on my lights

Then I saw the army

They were in full flight

You can imagine my plight

They were dancing in my room, around my lights

Those flies

Those that suddenly appear when it rains

I call them flying ants and termites

Irritated I became

Checked for any cracks and openings

I found none

From where do they come?

They now occupy my bed

Some had shed their wings

Others were having flings

Argh, on my bed!?!

My anger reddened

I called on my Raid Mosquito spray

And prayed it doesn’t betray

‘Fuushh’, ‘Fuushh’, ‘Fuushh’

Three bursts of raid spray went into the army

The battle has began

Some began falling with flair

I wish I had my camera to ‘video’ them

Then 3 more bursts around my bed

The suckers, disrespecting my bed

They convulsed

Ha ha h… hey

My legs tickle

Then my ears

Oh no

I’m under attack

I’m being raided by flying ants and flying termites

Frantically, I waved my t-shirt

Hoping to blunt their attack

My ears were tickling so much

The raid bottle dropped

I stooped to pick it up

My boxer shorts dropped

The enemy saw the opening

They attacked my ‘areas’

Holes and poles, none left out

Damn

I tried to run out of my room

But the raid bottle had turned traitor

It tripped me

I fell in the midst of fallen but angry flying ants

I quickly got up

Grabbed my blanket

Fumbled with my lock

And flew out of my room

My own room

Damn!!! Sh!!t!!

Those insects….

They might have won this battle

The war has just begun

……………………..

I was found the following morning

Wrapped in my blanket

Sleeping in my dad’s car

SPITEFUL INCLINATIONS

You’re stuck on me like a parasite

You control my very thoughts

The inclination of my heart is towards you always

I strive to escape your talons

Yet, every time I try, I sink further into your influence

I struggle to reject you

Yet, any time I turn my back on you, I end up embracing you

My lips proclaim my hate for you

My eyes express my desire for you

My brain draws me away from you

My heart draws me closer to you

I enjoy the moments we share

Then alone, I feel regret

I vow never to see you

I violently yearn to see you, feel your presence

What have you done to me?

What do you want from me?

What do I seek from you?

I’d rip my heart out of my chest for you

Would you be satisfied?

I need you to leave me alone

I crack my head open with a chisel and hammer

Remove all my thoughts

And wash them in bleach

Yet you remain

Just put me out of my misery

Without you I’m numb

With you, I’m alive

With you I’m wretched

Without you, I’m happy

Though I still adore you

I want you no more

Leave me alone.

AT SEA IN MISERY

It’s a gloomy quiet black night

On my way to you

The road is long and wide

And black is the night

No smiling moon

No twinkling stars

No fireflies

No chirping crickets

Just a silent gloom

I feel lost!

With a brave heart, I march on

The further I go

Gloom suffocates me as a wet blanket

With a wavering heart, I reverse

As I reverse

Gloom keeps chocking me

Furiously, my heart palpitates

Protesting rebelliously against my chest

Enquiring what my brain is doing

Then a light

Hope!

Then darkness

Despair!

Then another light

Closer it comes

Then fades away

Darkness again

What’s happening?

An illusion

My mind goes haywire

Confused

……….

I pray you notice my absence

And come find me

Then a light

Restrained hope

My prayers answered?

Then darkness

I’m falling into an endless abyss

Scared, frightened then suffocating…

In the gloom

Needing a sense of direction

I cry for you

I stagger to my right; more darkness

My wish is not to be petrified

I toddle to my left; more gloom

My need for you magnifies

I quickly pace forward; complete obscurity

My desire for you amplifies

I totter back; the murkiness becomes worse

My cries for you intensify

I need you

RESCUE ME!

 please…
