I do not like my Aunty Amaka very much, I never have and never will. She is fat but not my Daddy’s kind of good fat; she is the bad kind of fat that breaks things. When I was a baby she broke the red settee in the […]

Flood
Have you seen the heaven’s cry?
It cries for the earth wounds
A tormented howl for the lost flora
Damage of years gone by to nature bloom
They cut trees at morn and burn at […]

Your voice rouses me at the crack of dawn
Like a stuffed chicken crowing in the morning
Persistent you douse on rooftop and lawn
Drumming down unheeded the tears of mourningI turn on my side and you wait […]

I will love again but once
Its anticipation my doom
Curtain draws at last act, so must love
They say love comes softly
Not mine
Love with reckless abandon I did
No mercy as they trampled on […]

It’s hard to explain
But I know when his love died
His breathtaking smile
Became a shadow with a haunted look
A promise forgotten
He said he’ll always love me
My lauded humour
Rewarded by […]

@Tola but could the generators be really conversing, all that noise can be for nothing…lol. Sorry I am that quirky -

I arrived home rather late this evening
Only a few itinerant folks are on the streets
But just one voice, one language is spoken
It is the conversation of the generators
Dim lights escapes from […]
