Sometimes, it's difficult to not love a poet.


One could hardly tell when it is 'just poetry' from when 'it's from the heart'

Genuine!

As the sun sets, he rouses her desires with words.

"You have a fine forehead 
and obvious cheeks. 
Tiny well-crafted ears. 
They fit just well on your head."

He also plays on words.

Intentionally.

"And oh, your smile. Somewhat titty.
Not so long neck. Not short either."

She is also a poet.

One whose way with words amazes even the creator of languages.

'People barely notice my ears but you did, 
beautiful eyes you got there.
I still remember what the autumn leaves told the ground.'

He replies: "I'm falling for you?"

'The problem with loving you or having an awesome lover like you is, you will always get away with anything. You are too awesome.'

"I'm smitten"

They chuckle.

Her blushes, obvious.

Passion?

Lust?

The way he looks at her, straight in the eye.

Passion?

Lust?

At this point, they remember they have not exchanged pleasantries.

She inquired, 'how have you been?'

"Oh well, been searching for love in rocky planes"

'You already have love Sly.' She countered.

'I don't know but I feel you do. Sly, there's something about you. I can't see you. But the way you carry yourself, talk, write, speaks love, brother. I'm not pulling your legs or praising you. I won't get paid for that. It's just my perception.'

As night falls, she rouses his desires with words.

He wants in.

He wants out.

She wants both, slow and fast.

''You're loved'', she whispers.

'You're cherished', he affirms

Silence

Heartbeats

Sometimes, it's difficult to not love a poet.

With words, they draw you in

and

kick

you

out

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...

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.  ...
