SWEVEN: A POEM

Currents. Chemistry. Chaos. These were the triad of realities that turned and twisted in his mind. But her leaving him was still unreal. Love. Love. And love was still what locked his heart with the welled up feelings barging at its door. At times like this, he drifts from reality onto fancy, dreams into dreams. Every imagination of her vanished from pure reality and sought domain in his deep surreality. But what could have made her leave? Such pairing that was the envy of even gods.

He is dreaming again. This time in his dreams, they were back together.

Hope is a fickle thing, yet all love lives and breathes on hope, faith and trust. Even as both worlds fell into one another, the currents of electricity and the currents of the sea must find a way to blend and bleed into unison. The time they drove on the sensational godspeed of love, nothing mattered. No one was greater than the other. All powers deflated for the known everlasting power of love. Still, love...love will always remain a slave to time.

- A write up by Chidiebube Onye Okohia for the characters Voltage and Violet.
