LET IT RAIN - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

The tears in my eyes

are asking for your help

Lord, answer me.

The year is coming to an end

and the mockery is tearing me up

into tiny pieces

Lord, answer me.

If the rain must drop

Lord, let it fall on my tongue.

I'm dehydrated

emotionally

spiritually

physically

mentally.

Let it rain.

Now,

now, Lord

right now.

Turn now these tears

to droplets of rain.

Pray I grow big

in the eyes of my foes

until time immemorial.

As I lay to rest

Lord

lay to rest my tears

in a bottomless tomb.

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

Floating - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 146: FLOATING Sometimes I feel like a piece of lead dropped in the ocean Sinking to rise no more Other times I feel like the Titanic riding on ocean waves but a hole of flaws bored by their quest for faults leaves me sinking to rise no more. But tonight, I feel like I'm just f l o a t i n g in a stream of your voice surrounded about by smiling stars touching my skin and caressing my heart. Though I fear sinking again like before I know you're waiting arms open in the ocean bed to engulf me in mindless kisses until my feet forget to flee until I make in you my home for nowhere, there is, to go when I'm floating in your love.
