I came across Eloghosa a while back on twitter and I promptly followed her after just a quick glance through her TL and tumblr page. She has a way with words that is just too beautiful to read and never fails to give me life.
When I heard of the woman in bloom exhibition which she was going to be showing some of her works at, I was definitely going to show face (I blogged about it in my weekend bits post here).
I was so happy when I came to her section of the exhibition and noticed these short bits of poetry. I knew then and there, that I had to share the beauty that is her words with you all.
I hope you enjoy these as much as I did.
I missed out Number 9 but here’s what it says :
Nine.
“Listen to me,
don’t let anyone steal your joy or your peace.
Ever.”
– My mother.
God. Don’t wait for the edge.
Sieve the voices.
So you’ll finally hear The One who has
always called you Free.
This is what I love about poetry and words- it shifts something within you.
Eloghosa Osunde is a photographer and writer. Although she exhibited some of her photographs alongside the poetry, it was the poetry that really got to me.
You can view more of her works on her instagram and tumblr.

Some people know how to use words though! Brilliant

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic but I'd figured I'd ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post
or vice-versa? My blog covers a lot of the same
subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other.
If you are interested feel free to shoot me an email.
I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!

And madam, one thing you really need to start doing again is writing (or sharing) your poetry and prose. 🙂

I hardly write these days oh, that's why. I should probably try to force myself to put down something
Thanks!!
I think I am beginning to like poetry a lot, I never used to understand them before. I like that I can feel God in her words and I particularly like number Two.

I used to be like that too – never understanding poetry but I realized there are different types and I prefer the ones that are relatable/life ish and not all them shakespeare type.
The reality of the minefield called love sets in as I read these poems. Yes, you may earn a purple heart in the process, but at least you come alive in the full glow of true love. It takes courage! It may not be worth begging for, but it certainly is worth finding.
Thanks for sharing Sandra. Let me return the favor. Check this link out when you have a moment.http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/russian-man-marries-pizza-because-6846784

Absolutely beautiful!
The thing about poetry is that it can sometimes border on boring and senseless because of the many words.
Hers is far from that.
Nigerian and Natural
Thank you so much for sharing.
I read this slowly, the words made me reflect on the things I've gotten wrong and the ways I could do better.
I love how poetry when well written like this one, feels like placing wisdom pills inside one's mouth.
