Whatever - Duet by Ezeala Chukwuka Christian & Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu


WHATEVER 

Love isn't just a word for two
rolling and moaning to a coital tune.
Lust isn't a word evil
because it defined Adam's want for Eve.
So whenever
she ever
looks me in the eye
and ASK
'Do you really love me?'
I'll reply 'Whatever'
Heart for heart, love
The body only lusts.

Whatever,
It was, 
I chased it for too long.
Was it love, feeling or lust,
I romance with it.
Blissful it was, 
And with every chase, 
I long for it like morning.

Patience isn't just a word
It's a sick man in time's ward
enduring pain from soul deep sores
receiving pain from healing words
So whenever the world looks me in the eye
and say;
'do you have all it takes?
is it worth the wait?'
I'll say
Whatever, slowly I'll make haste.

Whatever,
It was,
I waited for it.
And heaven knows I could have waited,
all my life,
As Eden waited for Eve.
As flowers waits for the morning dew.

Now talk of stars and dark spots
Talk of arrows and inverted bows
Talk of beauty and hurting words
Talk of hell and feeble gods
Who cares who crosses the finish line?
We all one day shall cross same line
So whatever
That's all that matters

Whatever,
it was,
I'd cross the Sahara for it.
Shoot down seven stars,
And walk though hell for it.
It was beautiful, 
That was all that matter.

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...
