A CIARA'S COLLECTION Copyright © 2020 by Jessica Duru JESSICA DURU CONTENTS Forever With You For You My Love Memories Broken I Will Never Let Go Victory Pained A Mother's Tears I II- Death Eater Bleeding Soul Tormented A Longing Call A Lifetime's Walk A Penitent's Voice Abandoned The Unsinkable Ship Hero A Call For Justice Freedom FOREVER WITH YOU With lips wine red; And face white-skinned, and bosom perfectly fitted, Alongside curvy graced hips And a lavender scent to match: Her beauty doth glows Like that of a new born Brought into the world, So innocent and meek But yet ravishing In the most sweetest way I’d ever seen For even in the shadows, Her beauty is never concealed And even when darkness prevails, It overcomes every bits Like the roses blooming in the meadow, And the sun shining from whence it’s placed; So shall my love for you be Never ending, And forever eternal For as long as I’ve always got you with me, I wouldn’t ask for anything else, My sweet Amor… FOR YOU MY LOVE For you my love, I shall sing in delight, And with the sweet wonders of my voice; Will capture your heart As you lay lost in my charms For you my love, I shall waltz out in the open And side by side we shall dance With the candle-light burning aglow, And the moonlight gleaming in our path For you my love, I shall trample on every scorpion and snakes, And climb every mountain Just so I can be with you For you my love, I’ll sail across the seven seas And seek every corner of the earth No matter how much it’ll cost For you my love, I’ll conquer demons, And shall slay dragons at your feet So no danger can lurk in your way And for you my love, I’ll do anything Anything just to be your side, And remain yours… For the rest of eternity. MEMORIES When I’m with you, I feel happier than I ever felt When you’re not here, I feel all sad and down, And tearful and sore I know… I know I promised That I was never letting a tear Roll down my face But I just couldn’t hold on to that Could I?! You said you were… That you were never going to leave But you did! And let go of everything… Everything we ever shared! Now my heart is saddened… Saddened from the damage you caused! And all that is left are memories; Memories I vowed never to forget Memories that keep me going Even though it hurts That I’m never going to see you again But I’m certain… I’m certain that I’ll heal From the aching that make my heart throb And though summer may pass, And all the seasons as well Still, my love for you won’t Just like I’d promised Hate me! Ignore me! And push me all away….! But that will never get the best of me For my strength has grown over the years, And I’m stronger… Stronger than the ferocious lion That roams the wild! And firmer… Firmer than the tallest tree That stands on the forest grounds Not even the mighty wind can blow me down No! Not even that! You may let go of every memory… Every memory we once shared, And every feeling… Every feeling we once had for each other, But mine will always be there For as long as I shall remain on this earth With the breath of life still in me, I’ll never forget you, My dearest Aurora…. BROKEN Her smile, That smile Her beauty that yonder shines, And her love which strengthens me Like the wind blowing unceasingly Across the White Eastern sea Shall it forever be? Oh, I wish… If only wishes do come true I feel the longing pile up With each day that goes by, Shall it ever pass? Oh, I doubt Love is really hard like they say Everything seems so broken Even from afar, One could still see Can it ever be fixed? OH, I know not… Nor the royal empress herself For the rust will forever go on… I WILL NEVER LET GO Love; A mystery born to bring happiness, And to some, A saddened and a broken heart, Shattered into pieces, And feared never to be repaired Never to be healed! Love; A bittersweet ride born into the world, Destined to impregnate the whole of mankind, And thus bring joy to the earth But it is as I feared; The heart of man is far blinded, Poisoned from the reality in front! My fears are awoken, My eyes soaked with tears, My heart bleeding from the throbbing pain, Anguish and fear eating me up from the inside out! O’ how shall I live? How shall I breathe?! O’ my one true love My beloved Ayana! When shall I see you again? When shall I feel your warmth on my pure beating heart?! Once again my heart is aching; Aching from the loneliness and emptiness you left behind O’ my poor heart So wounded and hurt, are you? Now the clock goes ticking, And with every second, Comes life drifting out of me, My breath getting thinner; Reminding me of my time left on earth And though several years may have passed, And my body gone all frail and weakened with senility, I never will let go, Until my creator comes calling me home…. VICTORY I gaze endlessly at the stars, My legs rooted to the ground, My mind trapped in a deep ocean of thoughts; Wondering and dreaming when that day would come; The day my victory would be announced, And my name heard on every lips; The four corners of the earth calling out to me, And the warm breeze carrying their wild cheers, As I go dancing all gay and bright, Celebrating my new found victory If only it would be… PAINED Her cries echoed aloud in the still of the night A cry of pain A cry that will never cease to flow For as long as her heart is wounded, And bitterness still lingers inside, It will always remain a part of her If only she knew what laid in wait If only she knew… But like they say; One can’t really tell what’s going to happen next Even if he tries No one could have guessed… No one! If only she could turn back the hands of time, And make everything right again… Evil like they say Never reveals itself It’s always concealed, And rather lurks in the shadows Like some petty coward! Once the sun goes down, And the moon takes its peak, It slowly crawls out, Hence begetting the dark, And impregnating the silent tranquil scene thus There, evil lurks Out on the streets, Trudging footsteps can be heard, And masked figures seen, Hovering on every corners, Lying in wait for their prey To wander out in the dark, cold night Alas, she walks, With body badly bruised, And face swollen in a puff, The tattered skinny figure walks down Triton lane Arms crossed, And sadness imprinted in her almond sunken eyes, She plods; With her haggard looks shimmering in the light, And the tears in her eyes glistening Yet, they didn’t care Their eyes shone with lust, And they readied themselves, Encircling her Each brutally taking turns, Stripping her off the one thing she cherished most Her pride, Her innocence, Her comfort! All gone in the twinkle of an eye She had nothing left Nothing at all! OH, what a selfish and wicked world we live in! How shall the heartless pay? How?! I doubt this evil that has befallen the world will ever pass I doubt it will! Now it’s time I joined my creator, And rest perfectly in his bosom. A MOTHER’S TEARS I There is no greater pain Than the loss of a child An innocent being Brought into the world; Conceived for a purpose, And born to bring light, To shine aglow, And to bring joy to every mortal That walks the earth A child born to bloom; Like a flamboyant Standing in the meadow And the red roses Standing in the sun But soon taken away From the world, And snatched from the nest of its mother, A mother so longed To be blessed, And her prayers be heard From the heavens Her heart is broken Her tears worsened From the pain, As they go wetting the ground Like a flowing river, And a running stream Bound to flow And shall it continue to be Or her heart be healed From her aching loss. II – DEATH EATER Motherhood; Such a blessed ride, Full of hopes and dreams, Longed to be fulfilled, Longed to be real! Motherhood; A joy-conceiving memory, Full of expectations, Having newborns conceived, And brought into the world; A world so big and bright, But yet so new…. One so strange and demon-filled, And creatures cursed to slay; Bound to feed! The cry of their mothers wetting the earth, their pains burning fiercely At death’s matching feast… BLEEDING SOUL Thunder rumbling at a distance Lightning crashing loudly in the clouds The earth trembling with fear The biting north wind swaying every tree at its command Hooded creatures trudging out in the streets Their faces demon-like Barging into every home, And feeding on every blood Amidst the chaos, So weary and weak, she laid Breath almost drifting Her arms clasping a new born, so tender and young: Eyes glistening with hope: A hope she’d forever cherish Thence came the demons In tens, they marched Her fears awakened Hopes and dreams shattered In a heart beat. TORMENTED Heavy I walk Legs quivering with despair Holding me back so I may not reach that place I desire: A place I seek And have tried so much to reach, but to no avail This burden I bear This heaviness pulling me down With no desire of letting go! Making me wonder if it ever will Or shall remain till the day I’m called home To give an answer to the life that have yielded nothing, but utter pain… A LONGING CALL Could years pass And the air still reek of my haunted past? Could rivers flow And still come to an abrupt end? Could cherry trees blossom And their bloom still fade? Could mountains, hills and valleys stand And the earth still holds them firm? These questions I ask My mind trapping them without an answer, And with no one to reassure me That I can be free from my bondage to fear; A burden forced on me By the harshly gust of nature enveloping my past! One I am forced to bear Its malodor hovering like a smoke At what cost in life would be so enormous To have the one thing I seek? A thing much precious than all the riches in the embrace of the world; One to overcome my fear, And bring an end to shackles only I can see Emeralds and pearls, I desire not But the matching keys to my longing release And if ever again I’ll be able to walk, I shall travel far and wide, Proclaiming my return… A LIFETIME’S WALK Climbing up the Appalachians is no different from Taking a trip down life’s rocky path; A path harboring all things caused To beget sad or ever glowing memories Conceived from the adventures and journeys Carved out in a circle; Having no escape route nor an easy path To a quest man must undertake Lest he remains trapped With no gain, or freedom In a land now filled with oppressors and battles Only he can overcome So his sounding cheers Would be heard. A PENITENT’S VOICE With my eyes, I look up to the clouds My heart seeking for redemption, Wondering if it will ever be I gaze endlessly at the heavens, Searching for God’s salvation; Raising my voice so he would hear me And save me from the hands of devourers To him I go crying My voice ringing bitterly With my knees kissing the bare ground From his heavenly throne He looks down to me; Watching every step I take, And hearing every word that eludes my lips My heart is searched, And buried within lies an ocean of sin But true remorse is found, And I be purged with hyssop… And made a new creation. ABANDONED My heart is heavy with despair My head spinning like a roaring wave Seeking to swallow all thoughts Heaviness and hurt piling up inside, Eager to put an end to my kind! The air I breathe trapping me In my tragic past; Making me a wanderer in a world long rejected me From its warmly embrace Now I am without a place Having no one to put my fiery mind at ease But I know someday all this would pass And I shall be at rest and have eternal peace In my creator’s bosom… THE UNSINKABLE SHIP Like a howling whale, the mighty ship sails; One a million feet taller And larger than anything ever seen She sails across the seven seas The cold waves kissing her, As she moves with such pride; Her sails gracing the humid air Her mercy at the hands of sailors Navigating and commanding Sound of merriment ringing in the air; Women and children chattering with no fear Boastful mouths uttering things unfitting for the ears Men in black emptying bottles and trays Cheers of ecstasy embracing the night Icebergs floating atop the waters Waiting for its victim to arrive; The great ship moving with such elegance and bravery; The waters admiring her features; Song of siren composed in her name If only she could tell her end was near. ©Titanic HERO A hero’s time is a time of great joy; A time of ecstasy and happiness A time of wonders and countless things ought to marvel at A time to celebrate and bring together amazing people; One always to be heard and never be forgotten For all lifetime A CALL FOR JUSTICE The labour of our heroes past Shall it be in vain? Our father land, our home Shall it still be? This chaos, this war To what end? This spirit of death ruling the day Birthing agony and fear When shall it stop? The air reeks badly of blood; The blood of innocent victims polluting the land; A once peaceful land, So blessed and graced But now filled with terror: Countless souls hovering unrest Songs of mourning raised in their name; Chants for justice enveloping the air As men match, seeking for what they desire The labour of our heroes past Shall it be in vain? This greater tomorrow we seek When will it be? The people suffer in silence; Their words having no meaning to those invoke The oppressors claiming to be better But no more will that be For the time has come; The time to reclaim what has being lost So peace and harmony will reign once again. FREEDOM United we stand Together we work Our nation we build Our home we seek Our freedom we strive Our voices we raise And with hope, we will win! ©An Original I apologize for the excess spacing.

ONCE UPON A MEMORY When I'm down, I think about you, The things we used to do And the moments we used to share I remember the time we'd play out on the sand, The coolness of the breeze blowing us And the wind singing in our path Raising praises in our name But now all that is left are memories I vowed never to forget Never to let go... Until we meet again ~Ciara 1 Share

FATE I look up to a thousand folks, And what do I get? This world I am; This place I am forced to dwell When will I be free? I've searched and still haven't found anything; Anything just so my mind will be at ease And will cease to ache! And until it's found, It will continue to be.. ~Ciara |

WICKED REAPS Pain, Anger, Rage. All I feel. Pain begotten from words ought not to be uttered; Anger sown by the oppressors that think themselves better; And actions reaped in the later age after all is forgotten! O' here comes suffering and laments As pains of the wicked aggravate and curses dwell How shall they explain their cause to their seedlings And flee from the shackles bound to them? Tomorrow has no lasting age And shall remain pregnant Until their wickedness is fully reaped. ~~Just a little write-up... to seal this space. 1 Share
