Who am I? What is this blog about?

Dear reader,

My name is Arnold Sanginga. I am Congolese, study at a High-school in Nairobi, Kenya and love to write.

The intention of this blog is to let people know of my writing and hopefully one day be recognised by someone with hope of taking me further into a writing career. I write on just about anything that comes to mind, mostly emotional poems, fictional stories based on issues that have occurred in Africa and opinions on African politics. Please do not be afraid to comment, as your comments will help me improve and encourage me.

Bondage

When two minds become one
the consummation of the space between
leaves remnants of cold calculating desire
A desire that begins a set of dominoes

From childhood we are taught
that any form of relationship is
one that should remain valuable
towards the heart and soul.

But the say:
what looks simple to the eye
is complex for the heart
to a certain point that the heart becomes your eye.

In life we are bound to one another
not necessarily by choice at first
but by nature’s unforgiving destiny
no one can mutiny.

We are bound to each other
not by that bond which we say we are
but by that bond made in the darkness of night
that makes us cower from the sea of people in daylight

Love is that bond,
Love is that dream of perfection
Love is unexplainable but we
assume that we understand it.

It is a pack of lies
A pack of secrets that one pour out
to another.
That is what is bound to bind us.

So helplessly we are;
when those pure dreams are shattered
by the unprecedented truth that unveils
the true colour of oneself.
