I sat down on a bench, flustered with frustration. “Why is the damn test taking so long?” I was about to jump out of my skin when I heard ‘hello.’ I looked at the figure suspiciously and turned away. He was not who I wanted to see. I have been sick with so many unusual […]

First time i laid my eyes on Kunle, he was leaning on a car at the parking lot of the University and talking to his three friends, Danny, Victor and Emeka. Yeah, those four went everywhere together, even though they were in different departments. But Kunle was in Medicine and Danny was in Pharmacy, so […]

The earth stood still to gaze upon you Too scared to falter The moment you took your first breath Grace found an altar Your heart’s foundation *is attenuates* love With every smile, it spreads wildly, Baring my truth.

Stories begin on a new page. Mine began at a slow pace. One told of an old rusty vase; The lilies that lived there died, Buried without the son. The union had no daughters To mourn their passing. Lost at sea, I held on to that branch. Wouldn’t let go even when I was safe. […]

I am that dent on a chiselled chin That broken piece in a well shaped tooth That black mole on the fairest face Those freckles surrounding pretty eyes That 6th toe you’d love to cut That scarred soul with a teary voice That sad smile thrown in disguise The smallest star that shines brightest Flaws […]

Show me the road to Bermuda The centre of lost souls Show me that place that no one is sure of That i may end this lost cause The road wines in and on I’m sure it will preserve my youth Nothing new, nothing out of place By mere fantasies my thoughts replaced What is […]

Maybe i was made for a time like this The flesh to cover your wounded pride Maybe I was made for a time like this To be the smile your pain rides Who will mend my tattered thoughts tonight? As night stretches into its usual darkest space A whip of silence gently nudges my senses […]
