How A Shy Lad Expresses Love in Ten Verses | Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu


POEM 211: 
HOW A SHY LAD EXPRESSES LOVE IN TEN VERSES

i.
to sit beside you on a lush lawn and in silence
embrace your essence

ii.
to shut my eyes in all blindness
and drink in the ebony of your skin

iii.
to kick off everything shyness in all nakedness
and bare my heart on the lines of your smiles

iv.
to sit calm until you come
in contact with my heartbeat

v.
to stare and whisper endearments
with long longing stares

vi.
to imagine your stare is glue
and get stuck in a lie so true.

vii.
to mumble random scattered words
like rainfall in Mars

viii.
to sit legs crossed
and hope my unspoken words find your ears

ix.
to hope this series don't end
until your cistern breaks into a goodbye

x.
to leave me speechless with love
until I sing in lines in verses

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...

Letter To My Son

Dear Son Try to forget that nothing waits in the dark, raise your shoulder high wave off the frea and step into that lane. Won't you rather be gone in there than stay out here playing the coward? Get up now, son everyone falls. #Pengician #SSA http://bit.ly/2haEhoj

Floating - Stefn Sylvester Anyatonwu

POEM 146: FLOATING Sometimes I feel like a piece of lead dropped in the ocean Sinking to rise no more Other times I feel like the Titanic riding on ocean waves  but a hole of flaws  bored by their quest for faults leaves me sinking to rise no more. But tonight, I feel like I'm just f      l             o a       t               i   n                    ­     g in a stream of your voice surrounded about by smiling stars touching my skin and caressing my heart. Though I fear sinking again like before I know you're waiting arms open in the ocean bed to engulf me in mindless kisses until my feet forget to flee until I make in you my home for nowhere, there is, to go when I'm floating in your love.
