Love apart
the earth quenched her thirst again dried up your blood & feasted as we cried watching us doubt, as we clenched our faith the sand misses the quality of your steps in hand-stitched Italians that you loved all your promises are phoenixes with ashes all of mine are now blamed on lack of time this […]
Get dressed and be gone
I’ll tell no one decency means; We would go slower And maybe that would feel less sinful I’d undress you with my eyes first And invite my tongue to the party No teeth, I promise. Only gentle fingers. We would be decent enough; Straighten the sheets after we are done If we have time, we […]

Do not forgive us our sins | Chike Anre John
A wise Israelite king once wrote, “A good name is more desirable than great riches.” Not small riches. Not average riches. Great riches. The wise king said a good name is more desirable than all of those. But the king didn’t live in the Industrial Age. The king didn’t live in the internet age. The […]
Stories and the power they wield | Chike Anreti John
Growing up in Freetown Sierra Leone some of my favorite movies were Indiana Jones Temple of Doom, King Solomon’s mines, Tarzan, and the likes. For books, it was The Merchant of Venice, all 16 volumes of the junior world encyclopedia, and the last of the Mohicans. These were my go-to escape. We didn’t have cable […]

Morticians is a piece from Ruddapoet’s Handwriting album which begins with Yoruba oratory/poetry by Sango, which is followed by a rap verse from Grandsun. The piece is a wake up call to all the youths to arise and take charge of things; socially, culturally and politically most importantly, because most of the people in power […]
Review: “Dear Son” By Andrew Patience (AP)
Time is fair to none, and the future reveals itself to nobody. A well written piece dedicated to a future she hasn’t seen. A son, never seen before but prayers are already been made for him. It’s become more traditional than required to speak good words into the future. Every Mother’s joy is to see […]

Read: Fatimya P. Pel.| Rudolph Adidi
Some time ago by the ocean of this time It was at that time, during the rain, A maiden was served as curry and thyme. Her name would later ease my pain And this maiden will come with a radiant smile It will shine my night and calm my vein. When I was a kid, […]
Poetry: Dear Groom | Rachel Charles

When the child spills his milk on her awesome breast, there you would smile with memories of how you first met. Dear groom, I won’t sugarcoat words or […]
