Write Me A Poem (V): Stars And Scars

WRITE ME A POEM: STARS AND SCARS

write me a poem about stars and scars,
would you?

begin the second verse about how close to tears
it could get when scars, skin deep,
bite through the sole into my soul,
until i forget to remember to count the stars
which still wink at in dark nights
though surrounded by the blackness of darkness.

in the third verse, tell me how 'twill all be over
one day, and remind me again;
can one experience happiness without a brief requiem of sadness?
can one get so high as though the lows would never surface?

would you write yet another verse, the fourth?
if yes, make a long line linger along an alliterating alternative universe
until the black hole that suck in sweetness
appear as a different colour with the texture of rainbow,
so at the end of life into the beginning of afterlife,
i will remember the days, when close to the edge,
a line from a verse of a poem
was, like a life line, let down a well
To save the shards remainder of me
from swirling in the arms of boisterous winds,
and then wonder how I made it through
into the night sky, winking down on they that hurt,
like stars do, like they've got no scars

write me a poem about stars and scars,
would you?

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...

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...
