She'll Be Loved

(For Eniola Akindele)

She'll be loved over the roses
that adorns her doormat
every morning
She'll fall, but over them;The roses, with sure arms to catch her.

She'll be caressed by the unloving in winter
The fires will thaw the Winter frost in her heart -
fire fueled by pictures of you
She'll turn a new leaf in Autumn
after your sentence of "I just can't take it no more!"
She'll Spring up again the dead Summer sun
salvaged by truer words
outside the sheet music of
your greeting cards.

Nature will queue up among her lovers with so much silly things
said at the touch of love.
She'll dance in the August rain
with thunderclaps clapping.
She'll pose to the the flashing camera of heaven by the lightening in the sky
You'll watch the child in her build sand castles
upon the thrones you chase
She will swallow pills of evanescence from his palms
She'll feel those goosebumps again
Those sleepless nights,
the nausea to throw up confessions
of all the little things that tingles her you never did
She will be lovesick
Hospitalised on his bed.

She'll beat miles counting stars
to every single pulse of his heart
whispering her name.
She'll swing tonight
in the garden of shredded greeting
cards tossed by the wind
Forgoten forget-me-nots will knock vainly at her stone door, vainly
while you cheated with Ms Ambition.

Your heart will throb at the magic as
her pebbles will be washed into diamonds
on his broken knees asking God for
the power to turn her every tear into alabaster oil.

She'll be loved,
His truly.

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...

Celebrating the “father of modern African literature”: Chinua Achebe

Today I join Google to celebrate Chinua Achebe's 87th birthday. Chinua is the father of modern African literature who with literature has touched many lives. Chinua Achebe was one of the greatest African writers of his generation. On what would have been his 87th birthday if he was alive, Google is paying its respects to Chinua Achebe on its homepage. Go to Google.com to view the doddle. Unarguably, Achebe’s influence on African literature is inestimable. He’s widely known to be the “father of modern African literature” with novels which projected Nigerian and African culture globally at a time when much of the continent was freshly free from the chains of colonialism. Chinua Achebe passed away March 2013 in the United States of America at the age of 82. The literary icon's journey to literary greatness started with ' Things Fall Apart ', which was his first book. It was released nearly 60 years ago in 1958 and regarded as one of the most widely read books in Africa.  ...
