While Stock Lasts


POEM 63: WHILE STOCK LASTS

She lay on my bed 
in my room with the door shut,
this is a stale tale
but I'll tell it, will tell it all.

I joined her in bed
Painting spoken words on her flesh...
Moans romancing the air.
Our bodies merged as one,
entwined in limbs, sweat and lips,
laboured breaths roll from our throats.

I relaxed as she press her lips to mine
whispering sweet gibberish 
that leaves me grasping for air

A smile spreads slowly across her face
As I stroked her cheek with trembling fingers
Tracing her dimples.
She smile, her lips separating in seductive curves
As she take my index finger in her mouth
Sucking as though it is as sweet as the grin 
that emblazons her face.

I sighed

Her eyes widen as she press her body against mine
biting her lower lip, 
as if the ecstasy between her thighs
were about to make her burst
Into tiny bits of enthral bliss

She sighed

I felt her desire
Mocking mine
Embracing mine
Fire!

She grabed me
craving.
It is hers now
thrusting.

But for a while

For tonight is all we've got.
Enjoy it while it last...
While you can.
For neither of you nor I,
my love,
will see forever-ever-after.

No trust
Just thrust
But for a while

Because this love is lust
Spread over a bed of thorns
Thorns that tickle
But pierce afterwards
...and until my pickle
In you spurts...
Enjoy it while stock lasts.

For before dusk meets dawn
We'll both become dust, 
trapped in the wind,
blowing through an open window 
into a room of distrust,
In a house of ego
In a city of hurt
In a world of haunting memories
for every newfound love
with anxiety.

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...

The Curve And Colors Of Hate | Uwen Precious Ogban

The Curve And Colors Of Hate When the evening news had broken Father spoke with a tone of pain and anger “Nigeria is a whore,” And my mother agreed Painting sensual scenes giving you pleasure of what looks like a garden that hides a landmine. And how trying to walk through it becomes slippery A journey asking for crimson libations, full of fractures and ‘Had I knowns’ while you looked over the fence for greener  pastures Her sighs spoke of a menu full of thrills but you are served double horrors She, Nigeria, abhors you later on when it relinquishes you of value, Truly, she is an old ‘Whore’ My Father picked it from there, “Nigeria gets hard as rock” Wants of men despised Sullen moods recorded in poems, speeches, and events, snubbed For as long as it makes sultry suplex’s on a comfortable ring – Nigeria is satisfied “Son, Nigeria is you, your mum and I” Guilty to a fault Pained by happenings that come with fire and brimstone Let loose from bellies that should hold  patriotis...

Featured Poem: Slavery In Africa - by Uwen Precious Ogban

SLAVERY IN AFRICA We believe they rowed their boats of tumults into our region; carrying with them bags of conundrums, while we drummed our drums and jollied to their, intonation. The way they dressed, the way they addressed us Made us mime to the harmony and yearns in their speeches of a dawn to civility and hale: that was a start of the course of slavery in Africa. We still thought they were our brothers, because our chiefs rolled floridly with their proposals While we were mockingly disposed of In the field, or given to bespoken tailors as apprehends; as helps; in servitude; ‘posed to carry out orders as the come in flicks. We became babies in our own motherland we became cartage of their foreign plans. We cleared our huts so that they could find comfy and build on our strengths draining our tears as they wryly whipped us on our backs. Their wisdom their prowess They used to molest And we gazed in cluelessness Cause we still didn’t see it as slavery then – but as pain, so enjoyable....
