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.

shy, a poem

bashful, timid, quiet.  shy If anyone you know has used these terms to describe you, you're probably a bit shy. Everyone feels that way once in a while. Shyness and social anxiety are common, no matter how old you are. There is one myth about social anxiety and social anxiety disorder that I would like to dispel. The myth says that social anxiety is just exaggerated shyness. This myth encourages the idea that anxious people are merely weak-willed pushovers. It is partially because of this myth, I think, that well-intentioned people offer the relevant but insensitive and patronizing advice like, “Don’t worry about it!” , “Just do it” and “Face your fears.”  Thinking on all these, I wrote this poem: shy when a shy person speaks, it's like music from guitar strings. when a shy person smiles, it’s like the sun coming out when a shy person steps out it's like the uncommon visit of gods when a shy person reclines it feels like moon eloped from night when a shy person is 'i

Dustbin And Drafts - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 142: DUSTBIN AND DRAFTS He was the night sky, She was a star, Always together, Never one. He wrote what he felt for her of how her twinkles light up his dark. But they never get to her. One more note was added in his drafts. Fragrant pens and beautiful poems Pink papers and artistic handwriting. She wrote about the beauty in his black of how they make her twinkles shine. but they never got to him. Only the dustbin knows how much she loves him - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu #365DaysOfPoetry #Pengician #SSA Enjoyed reading?

For Leah Shabiru - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 136: FOR LEAH SHABIRU I can't find the words right To describe Leah's plight. I hope this little piece of mine Awakens our voiceless unconcern. Does she feel giddy? Does she still cry? Does she look out the window and heave a sigh? How long shall this gravity Hold her down to these rascals? I know she kicks but in vain I know she whispers prayers to her God Or maybe she now doubts his existence. Does she wish her breathe be gone? But she's just a teenager Who dreamt of leaving her deadbeat town One day she went to chase dreams The next she was never found Sunrise and sunset have come and gone and Leah is still in the devil's lair. You and I, we eat, we sleep She's not our own, we care not a bit Until same fate cross our path Trample our wives And rip our hearts Only then shall we realize in Leah died our very soul. - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu #365DaysOfPoetry #Pengician #SSA Enjoyed reading?
