The Weight of Loneliness in Space - ISHEMA Toussaint

 



In the vast expanse of space, I float alone,
No other human near, I am on my own.
Lost on a mission to research black holes and time,
I feel the weight of loneliness, a heavy climb.

On Earth, you say you don't need a partner to survive,
Yet with friends and family, you feel alive.
But here in space, with no one in sight,
I long for a companion to share my plight.

No other human here, just me in sight,
I feel the weight of being alone at night.
For me, a partner is a vital human need,
To share my journey, and my dreams to feed.

You say God created you as gay or lesbian,
But in space, I see why a man and woman were chosen.
To continue life, to have children for every season,
A second human, different sex, for a meaningful reason.

You say you can't love someone of different religion,
But in space, it's a different vision.
What matters is the presence of a soul,
Not what religion can divide and control.

You say you can't marry someone of a different race,
But in space, skin color holds no space.
We're all humans, descendants of the same,
Love should not be dictated by race, it's a foolish game.

You say you need money to enjoy love,
But in space, it's a gift from above.
Money doesn't matter when loneliness strikes,
Love is what we need, to thrive and survive.

You say political beliefs can ruin your love,
But in space, it's a chance to rise above.
To work and fight for life together,
Love should bind us, regardless of beliefs, now and forever.

Lost in space on a mission, I feel the pain,
Of being lonely, of being in vain.
But I won't die of loneliness,
I'm inspired to do my research, to benefit humankind's greatness.

Perhaps in the vast universe, I'll find another,
A different kind of people, a new brother.
But until then, I urge you to love without bounds,
For, in the end, love is what surrounds us, its sound.

You will be life to my art.

What if it stops? For normal people, it's like losing twice, but for a storyteller, it's not just a loss—it's the birth of art. I saw this flower, older than me. Wow, I liked it. I liked her life, not because it's special, but because of the heart of the flower compared to its surroundings. But I'm sad that it can't be mine and isn't open to me. It is always covered by petals; I can't see what's inside. And sometimes, especially these days, we don't agree on sseveral things! So the question is: it's been 3 years. What if I choose to stop it because it can't be mine? It has others who are more familiar with her for 3 years  and better suited to her than I am. Well, I was lucky to be an artist, as I see a story in everything. I will go; I will lose it, but I will bring her story to life. I will paint how I saw her. That is what I will gain, and what others will gain to my story. I'm also wondering why artists have lonely lives. I'm ...

Battle of Ncome River by ISHEMA Toussaint

In this age of advanced technology, where people fell in love without knowing each other through digital communication, there is a similar story that happened in 1838 during the war between the Zulu and the Voortrekker Boers in Azania(South Africa) in the Battle of Blood River, also called the Battle of Ncome River. There was a young woman called Mia who came from the family of Pieter Mauritz Retief who was a Voortrekker leader. In 1814 that young woman (Mia) was studying to be a teacher of young children, and at the same time she was responsible to decode messages of his father's letters from the Voortrekkers' intelligence. one day her letters were accidentally found by a Zulu young Man called Zithulele who was in the Impi(Zulu warriors) against the Boers, he had been privileged to be taught to read and write by the grandson of Jan van Riebeeck. The young man(Zithulele), who was also familiar with espionage in the Impi, came to answer the message. When the young woman (Mia) re...
