Bluestone

Sometimes, we do not have the words to express how we feel. Other times we do but they stay on the tip of our tongues. I hope that you find courage in this poetry titled Bluestone, just as I have.

blue /blu😦 adjective 2. (informal) Depressed, melancholic, sad 4. Pale, without redness or glare; said of a flame. Bluestone (1): deep, gloomy, acceptance You feel pain, an awfully familiar pain that never goes away.Pain lives here.She sits and lies with you. She takes your hand in hers and leads you into a land you’ve only heard of—a land of only bluestone—the sky, the grass field, your…

It happened again

This time it started as a dream. I do not remember much. However, I recall that I was hiding from it – the shadow monster. I was running in a labyrinth of tall corporate buildings. They had large window panes that shone like your silver wristwatch. I was going insane by running in circles, unable to navigate this world. I ran into one of the buildings. The building was empty. But the…

The Doctor's Visit

The Doctor’s Visit

It was 2016, sometime in May. My exams were just around the corner. With my vision impaired and having lost my glasses on the bus on my way back from school a month prior, I had me squinting at every object. I needed to get a new pair of glasses as soon as possible. On this faithful sunny day, I visited the teaching hospital in my school to see the ophthalmologist. He was a man in his 40s or…

A Cold Case of Sleep Paralysis

I had slept off laying on my back while watching a  video analysis from The Take’s YouTube channel. This was around 3 am. I don’t know long I was out for but to me, it felt like a short moment.  I heard the door open and watched as my friend’s younger sister walked in with a black duffel bag. She had on the same silk scarf she had worn out earlier the previous day but her clothes were different.…

The Want: A poem

The Want: A poem

She was wanted by men. Eloquent and graceful she was. She had a heart of gold and a body carved for desire. She was wanted by men. Her smile is charming as she laughs. Her laughter is so infectious that you could almost share that intimacy of joy. She was wanted by men. Her style filled with elegance when she moved swiftly but in no haste like a feather. She was wanted by men I never quite…

A honest 23rd

I do this thing where I write random words around my birthday which I end up sharing here on the said day.These words could be a melancholic poem or a simple reminder love note. Regardless, it is a honest representation of how I feel before clocking a new chapter. As for 23… so much to say. So, so much. But first, let us bow our heads in prayer for this wonderful yet dreadful thing called…

Desires: A fourth not-so-obssessed letter

“I can already picture it my head again. You know, you on the couch naked, in a doggy position, kneeling on all fours and between your legs my fingers fiddle your nipples as they tighten harder.Your legs separates voluntarily apart… far apart from each other to accommodate me. As much as you gently bite your lower lip, you carry an anxious face on you in anticipation of the thrill.Just as my…

Edo Exploration: 52 playing cards • I guess at this point, I should just do this for life 🙃 • Due to the report of the return of the Benin bronzes to Nigerian by international musuems and also personal research, I decided to dig deep into the Benin history and courtesy of information gotten from online and personal sources, I learnt about the unique and rich culture of the Edo people and how their link to the people of Ile-Ife came about. Also, part of my ethnicity(Ekpeye) is linked by oral documentation to the Edo people. When I finally came onto designing a 52 deck playing card, the Benin culture was my go to. I throughly enjoyed it and after weeks of trying to perfect this, here we are. 😊 • You can visit my Behance Profile in my bio for a better view of it all. Kindly like and share and tag. 🧡 • PS, would it not be nice if this was sold at the @emowaa_ musuem once its opened? 👀 https://www.instagram.com/p/CQOv4gNHYIB/?utm_medium=tumblr

Desires: A Third Letter

Desires: A Third Letter

“I want you to open the gates for me,the gates to your chocolate promised land.Let me let myself go.Let me taste your skin,reveling in the satisfaction of bees drinking nectar. Let’s get really busy,flinging clothes and undies into the carelessness of space.Ignoring your work but focusing on the good work. Let me touch youwhere it hurtwhere it pleasureswhere it burnswhere there are flowing rivers…

Desires: Letters For You Too

“Let’s get cute and wild together. Let’s make memories enough to last us two lifetimes. Let’s allow our bodies meet themselves in a unifying language only our skin and burning lustful desires understand. Let’s make a promise never to leave each other alone on cold nights even as we lock lips deep in sync. Let’s make an uncommitted commitment to fuck each other without tame, without…

A Peaceful State Of Mind?

I can’t exactly state how I’ve been feeling these past weeks. It’s a mix of emotions. Predominantly, my state of mind is what is called ‘meh’ which translates to my indifference and acceptance about certain things. Two days ago, I came across this TikTok video which sort of put my mood into words. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMeGpSt2j/ Recently, I slipped into a depressing mood. I was sad for an entire…
