An Amazing Woman | Ezeobi Tochukwu Charles

I’ve heard people eulogize others,
I’ve heard men extol virtues in men,
Whether it be true or no, I do not know.
Now listen ye to this beautiful truth, try to gainsay it if you could. I know the best person in the world
Heart of pure gold beyond a doubt
The milk of human kindness from her out pours. And even if I have a bullet stuck in my brains, I wouldn’t stop blessing God for a wonderful angel like her.
She is goodness personified, a daughter of Zion blessed beyond reproach. My life she touched, my vices torched. She have been to me what a shell is to a snail. Without her, there won’t be a journey to start with, nor a race to win.
I will go on my knees to have her name inscribed on a million cities
For she is the light with which my future can be seen from years away.
She is the reason for the recovery of a thousand heads who were led astray.
Tell me where she got her magical heart and brain, and I promise to be born again.
And the loftiest of all heights in this world, momma have attained even with a single degree.
Should she get a mission across the Bermuda triangle, I’ll always go with her.
Cause she have proven herself to be an accomplice more than what the records can keep. I bless her hope to be so fruitful like a cashew tree. I will forever celebrate her, each time, each day.

Just one prayer for her, Oh! Maker of man, as many more days like this, be celebrated of her by them that love her. Within and beyond our national lines in an ocean of peace, abundance and joy, with smiles and laughter, uninterrupted may she swim.

Herein and hereafter she shall my mother and greatest admirer be.

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...

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...

Featured Poem: What Happens When A Poet Falls In Love - by Martin Deep

Dusk brings the charms to my lips It would seem. The moon is here and My tongue is ripe with whispers. I can whisper now For my eyes are weary From telling poetry. How you were enchanted with the rhyme my sighs poured when I touched your fountain head! The candles have gone all out The muse has drunk up the oil of the lamp to the last droplet. The innocent wigs dies noiselessly. Is this what happens when a poet falls in love? That my trashcan becomes the graveyard for my pen That lay like thankless knights That have bled to please their mistress for quests unsent. Is this what happens when a poet falls in love? That the innocence of papers are stolen? How so many have cried in the merciless flames sentenced thus 'bearers of unworthy words' So pure our love is my love. So true. A cherub perhaps is ravished and he cries to God to have him be our ring bearer . What other fulfillment is greater than our spirits soaring in each other's eyes? Is this what happens when a poet fal...
