COLONY OF LOVE[5] BY RITA GEORGE

Colony of Love (1)

Our love is like a cord.
Like Rahab Red cord tied
round her window.

It's a colony.
A colony we carve
In our Hearts,
As the blueprint
For our existence.

The Colony of Love (2)

Humour and Honour
I'll do anything to have both
Thats why I'll do anything to have you
Because I find both
Twinkling in a new light in our
Colony.

Love is our stream
As a Bridled horse
Is led to the river
I cannot resist
Drinking from your stream
For out of your belly
Flows (Love) unending

By the springs
In August
We meet
Love is our place
It's our colony
It's where our eyes open
To beauty.

# FICTION # SURVIVAL ========== “I can’t just stand here and watch you die,” Nkechi said, her voice laced with deep emotions. “I must go and find help.” There on the floor, in the small hut, was her dying mother, shivering. She had been like this some days now, but now it seemed to be getting worse. The lamp that sat at the center of the hut, lighted the room poorly, but was enough to make the beads of silvery sweat on her mother’s face shimmered. “My daughter!” her mother called, her voice lowering into something like a whisper. “What kind of help do you mean?” Ever since her father died mysteriously, she and her mother had lived like strangers in the village. People heard and believed a lot of lies about them. Some believed that her mother had used her witchcraft on her father, while some believed that the gods of their land had placed a curse on them. There were recent cases of goat disappearances at the time and the Chief priest with the consent of the King had placed a cur
