Galaxies In Your Eyes - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 147: GALAXIES IN YOUR EYES

What is pleasure? My lady inquired.
I locked fingers with hers
and with the tongue of many waters
whispered these into her lips about the galaxies:

Pleasure is staring at the stars hard and long
Until I floats in your eyes all night long.

Pleasure is holding the moon in my arms
Caressing her contours
with the trembling hands of a seafarer
Sailing an ocean your allure
until your eyes in nightly glow
captures mine like water flow
is trapped in a dam,
wrapped in my arms
until I get lost in your galaxies of emotions.

Pleasure is earth fallen into a dark universe
yet glowing in a galaxy of lights
with every fall
every thrust.

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...
