Ediye Series (III) : Diving Deep


EDIYE SERIES (III) : DIVING DEEP

Ediye,
do you know my heart has no hearth,
my words wound not
and my thrusts are turgid trusts
that never fall flaccid to toxic words?

So, look me in the eyes
and drown in the ocean of my desires,

though blue the sea you see
and deep the abyss of it
it tells how deep this love can be
and how endless the depth can be

Ediye,
dive! why halt and stalk?
my blue seas drown not.
Come now, fit your tremblings hands
in mine, and swim with me
let's dive deeper than deeper life
into the depth of our desires

Wrap your lips on mine
and whisper words one would rather feel than speak.

Like the lines on your palms,
tattoo portraits of you and I
on the contours of your skin

Lead me on until I am lost
in the maze of sweetness,
until I see no passage
save the one your love salvage.

Make my home on the best page of your heart
And I'll make you moan
like a happy sage in my arms

Ediye,
this could be you and I:
a piece of sizzling poetry

"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.  ...
