Day 5 prompt: About love
Published by: GreatwolfmanI'm taking a break from my 30-day prompt challenge, I should be writing About Love but this is what I feel like writing at the moment. This is another one of my diary entry except it's not coded.
I haven't been as active as I should in a while due to some personal reasons. At the time of writing this article, it's Saturday but I won't publish it until Sunday, which is in a couple of hours, I figured it's a good way to start the week besides everyone needs to rest once in a while, or twice.
Check out my amazing sponsorsI also want to make this entry interesting so I'm thinking of adding some riddles at the end with an incentive to give a big thank you to my readers for all the continuous support. Enjoy
Update:
After a good night rest, I decided to write an article about love instead using my lame attempt at poetry, I hope you like it
It's another night and I'm still here gazing at the stars. Oh wait, the stars are gone and I'm staring at the black night sky. The moon is nowhere to be found, it must have gone to hide behind the clouds. Even the crickets are silent, a clear indication that a storm is coming.
I look around and observe that I'm alone, I call out to my family but no response is heard. I look through the window and saw that even the street was silent, where did everyone go. The once busy Street was quiet, you could hear a pin drop. What a nightmare.
Just then, I heard voices, I look to see where they came from, there I saw them approaching, dark shadows approaching, familiars even. My demons, fear, anger, jealousy, hatred, anguish, you name it.
How far do you reckon I can run? How long do you think it would take before they catch up to me? Why is there only darkness? Where did the light go to?
It's like I'm trapped in a cage with nowhere to escape, alone. They catch up to me and I seem to be out of strength to fight back, I let them take over, I let them win.
Fear whispered into my ears, "you are all alone" it said. "No one can save you from me"
Anger said "where are your loved ones when you need them, after all the sacrifices you made, they all left you here"
Jealousy showed me an illusion of people around me all happy, "they are happy without you, don't you want what they have?"
Anguish decided to add salt to injury, "why don't you cry, it hurts doesn't it".
Perhaps they are right. I'm about to give up when I heard a voice call out my name. In the distance, I saw a flicker of light, It was Love.
It drew closer and I saw the dark shadows take a step back, they couldn't come close to the light.
Love came close to me and showed me the people that still cared about me. It was so pure that it brought tears to my eyes, as it did, the flame grew bigger.
It kept on growing until it was as bright as the sun and it revealed that I wasn't alone, I just couldn't see because the darkness had covered everything.
I was happy again.
Closing thoughts
Love is the greatest force of all. I can still remember the first time I said the three magic words - "I love you". I was only 13 years old yet I knew exactly what those words meant, surprisingly that word has lost its meaning today. Nothing beats that feeling.
The holy books preach love yet we spend most of our days hating on other people. I think I know the world will be a better place if we only showed love towards one another instead of hatred and resentment.
Love is the greatest gift of all, to be able to love someone and show it is one of the greatest gifts to be given to mankind. It is what defines "humanity", without love, we are better off dead.
Show love to everyone around you, it doesn't matter what origin they came from, their beliefs or race, their skin color, white or black, we are only humans. I love you all.
To break the ice, here are a set of easy Riddles for you to play with.
One (riddle) per person, if you answer more than one, you will be disqualified.
I can break, I can be clogged, I can be attacked, I can be given, I can be kept, I can be crushed, yet I can be whole at the same time. What am I?
Arnold Schwarzenegger’s is really long. Michael J. Fox’s is short. Daffy Duck’s isn’t human. Madonna doesn’t have one, and I want yours. What is it?
I can make people happy, I can make people cry. I can make people want me, and I can drive people crazy. What am I?
