This is a poem I had written about five years ago. My paternal grandmother, who I called Nana and Ma, passed away when I was 10. We were extremely close. We were best friends. Sometimes I wished she was my mom and got to keep me instead of my parents. Though I've adjusted to life without her, sometimes it hurts knowing she isn't here. Especially when I wish for someone to talk to. Now, all I can do is continue on the best I can and pray her spirit is safe and came back just as strong and beautiful as she was then. I love you, Nana, and I'll never forget you and all the amazing things you've done. See you soon.

"My parents are gone. All the elders are being held against their will and have been forced to do as he demands. All of our parents who've survived but are no longer able to fight have been forced into it as well. We're the only ones left who can fight." "We don't stand a chance against him! We aren't strong enough...!"

To avenge his fallen parents and to preserve what they've fought to protect, Khyrus must defeat Nirjin, God of Destruction. Will he have the strength?The will?

After making some adjustments, I can finally say I've published my first novel entitled Khyrus: Gad of Virtue & Strength." It's currently available as an eBook on Lulu for $2. I appreciate all of the support.

I know at most of you are attempting to stay home and Lysol away the virus, so check out my newsletter early. Unless your job is essential, you have nothing else to do aside from making sure no one in your home goes completely nuts from not going outside. Might as well take a look and support an artist.

Gaddess

She lies in bed all alone. Falling asleep waiting for her husband to come home. He attempts to sneak in, yet she still awakens. He stops as she asks “Where have you bee? It’s three in the morning.” In his boots he starts shaking while another lie he’s contemplating. She says “this is the last time. Your stuff is packed and your Uber’s outside waiting.” Never mess with a Gaddess, for you’ll soon regret. Never mess with a Gaddess, for dire consequences you’ll be bound to accept.

He steps outside and sees belongings being loaded in the trunk. He gets in the car thinking of how low he had sunk. He had a good woman and lost her as fast as he got her. He thought he was being sent to live with his father, but soon realized he was going farther. "You've passed the house. Where are we going?" The driver doesn't answer and starts to go faster. To his end is where he's being taken. Never mess with a Gaddess, for you'll soon regret. Never mess with a Gaddess, for dire consequences you'll be bound to accept.

He starts to freak out as they get enter the woods. Why they're there is what he hasn't understood. The driver stops and says "people go here when they treat our women like shit." The husband pleads "you don't have to do this!" Men drag him out the car and gag his mouth. No one will save him; no one will hear him shout. He's tied, beaten and hung to a tree. The soon to be widow appears and says "this is what happens when you continue to hurt someone like me." The shock remained in his eyes as he stops squirming and dies. Never mess with a Gaddess, for you'll soon regret. Never mess with a Gaddess, for dire consequences you'll be bound to accept.

They laid him down on top of his clothes. She lit the match and watched him burn slow. Eternal misery is what awaits him. Real love will never embrace him. He will only know pain; never to be blessed. He will never have peace; not even in death. Never mess with a Gaddess, for you'll soon regret. Never mess with a Gaddess, for dire consequences you'll be bound to accept.

Out of all the articles I've written so far, this is currently my favorite. I allowed myself to be able to talk about the hurdles I've had to overcome along with the amazing moments that have happened. I'm proud of myself for getting this far, but the hustle won't stop.

Current newsletter is just about complete. It’ll premier in February 2020. Stay tuned for another month of life experiences. Fear and success are oil and vinegar. They’ll never mix.
