Searching For Love

I looked at myself in a mirror, so much to learn, I returned to the bureau. Looking at the challenges I must survive, I’m beginning to conclude some romance could revive. Lunia from Pennsylvania is a concubine, but her personality and my ambitions can’t combine. Nico who also loves me is from Mexico, but I’ve…

A LETTER TO MY SON

Dear Son, I am sad to tell you that your paternal grandfather died before I met your mother; a once in a lifetime grandfather to have; he died at war against injustice and tyranny. Rejoice my son, away with those furrows crossing your brows, there is an advanced copy of him; me. I only pray…

My Dream of Today

Do not see me as a rich man in terms of money, I do not have Thirty Thousand Naira in Bank. Do not see me as a saint; like every other foolish man of my age set, I chase after sexual adventures, and although neither drink nor smoke, do not condemn those who do. Do…

Next Month is May

I’m going insane, being killed by boredom. I’ve watched films, even licked some tom-tom; I’ve seen a doctor who recommended a green gum, Yet the only thing that amuses me is a pair of bum-bum. If THE ORIGINALS were real, I would beg to be turned. I wouldn’t mind having fangs or even horned. Immortality…

Visera the Reaper

“Lord eBay, do you wish to take Miss Visera Lucciver as your wife?” asked the priest in somewhat a sonorous hilarity.

Dear Diary

Dear Diary, I mean to cry today. I have lived by every moral code; I have worshipped and prayed everyday; What improvement to you have I told? A maiden I made; a woman I love Whom I have thought would take me from the shade Only gives me more puzzles to solve; Anytime my arms…

MY REBORN THOUGHTS

I’m leaving. A plain man cannot stand against the ploys of a tyrant and witches, who if they swallow their displeasure now, will yet nurse affront till they have wreaked it. I refuse to be trapped by my birth and circumstances of limitations my society incurs, I need a future where I control my own…

Just us; Only us

Dear reader, would you spare me your time? I have confessions to make, and if I do not make them, I’m afraid, I may not be able to sleep for years; and trust me, I may not be able to die. In all my human life, I have lived in dreams; dined in dreams, dreamt…

I was there once

If with whom you ask I lay, I say that can happen only in May. It is not for sex I currently pray, I definitely don’t wanna be AIDS’ prey. If with whom you ask I spend my time with, none. Ladies do propose but what I do? I shun! My story on love is…

ANOTHER VICTIM

Today, I sit by my window and look out into my life. Well, it’s a good normal life. The kind of Nigerian life where you wake up in the morning, pray not because you love God but because you want to be rich in life and you don’t want enemies’ attempts to destroy you. Then…
