Alone I Wait... For Love


Looking at the stars twinkle around the moonlit sky
Thinking of you as time crawl by
Leaving our love in the scale of fate
Sitting here, on grasses wet,
alone I wait

From dusk to dawn, 
the sky chameleons 
the many shades of doubts 
residing in my heart.
Day dreaming about how amazing
our first time would be
I would sigh...
Leaving our love in the scale of fate
Sitting here, on grasses wet,
alone I wait

Here, I am
There, you are
Images of your face
from your Social page 
still fill the air in my lungs
giving me breath and feeding my hope...
Leaving our love in the scale of fate
Sitting here, on grasses wet,
alone I wait

I close my eyes, 
to ease my mind
and allow the wind to swish by
I, lost in the reverie of future us...
Between my love and I
is only time
and a million miles...
Leaving our love in the scale of fate
Sitting here, on grasses wet,
alone I wait

Sweetness, 
I will wait for you 
because honestly I don't want anyone else.
Leaving our love in the scale of fate
Sitting here, on grasses wet,
alone I wait

Fiction | The Tripod Effect

THE TRIPOD EFFECT The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the surrogate father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife and said, "I'm off. The man should be here soon" Half an hour later, just by chance a door- to-door baby photographer rang the doorbell, hoping to make a sale.  "Good morning, madam. I've come to...." "Oh, no need to explain. I've been expecting you," Mrs. Smith cut in. "Really?" the photographer asked. "Well, good. I've made a speciality of babies"  "That's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat"  After a moment, she asked, blushing, "Well, where do we start?"  "Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch and perhaps a couple on the bed. Sometimes the living room floor is fun too; you can really spread out!" "Bathtub, living room floo...

Letter To My Son

Dear Son Try to forget that nothing waits in the dark, raise your shoulder high wave off the frea and step into that lane. Won't you rather be gone in there than stay out here playing the coward? Get up now, son everyone falls. #Pengician #SSA http://bit.ly/2haEhoj

RIP: Return If Possible (Ode to my High School crush)

She would wink at me from the corner of her eyes. She would dare to slap the tallest in my class if he dares bully me for penning his name in my list of noise makers. She would share her pen  when mine is spent. She would help me take notes when sick I lay in bed. She played my advocate  even when I least deserve it. Her height, though intimidating earned more of my admiration. Her fingers Her palms though long and bold compared to my petite own were my favourite to hold. She was loud and noisy not never made the list. She would speak Igbo and wink 'you dare not write my name' Her drawings, I did when others I snub. JSS 3 to SSS 1 I crushed on this pretty girl But I was too shy to ink that poem. I left without letting you know how much I care. Had no time to appreciate your kind gestures undeserved defense... You were my crush. Augusta, When I found first Facebook you were the first I searched to add... In vain I searched  You were not found. I stalked the walls of our cl...
