Oĺòŕí Dèdòyíń By: Balogun Fatimah


Tall like a Lemonade tree,
Her oval face caught my fancy.
Her beam?
It can make a furnace cold.

Ońítèmí Dèdóyíń.
Her colourful eyes,
Like the feathers of a Peacock.
Stared deep into my soul.
Piercing my heart like a dagger.

Her steps gives the ground,
A fresh sound.
Making footprints,
Like a fairy Princess.

Her calm nature?
Is a sightly castle.
Sitting gorgeously,
Beside the beauteous ocean.

A pest she can be,
Whom you can't fumigate.
But a jolly good fellow she is,
Whom you would always admire.

Her tiny hips,
Adorned by Crystal illèkè
Gave her bum,
A new rhythm.

The tree in Alààfíń's palace,
Bowed to the fragrance,
Of her scent.
A stylish Olòŕí,
She is perceived as.

May Almighty God,
Make my Queen,
Live a long,
And fulfilled life.

*Ońìtèmí: My own*
*Íllèkè: Waist bead*

Painted their soul with my flowers. Left my prints on their canvas. Their rough lines, I made into edges Cracks I filled with my energy. I wanted them to be art. I made them my art. I gave too much. They left me empty. ©Similafleur

The    woman as usual, left    the baby in the "hands"    of this faithful cat    and went out shopping.    When she returned,    she discovered rather    a nasty scene, there    was a total mess.    The baby's cot was    dismantled; his nappies    and clothes torn to    shreds with blood    stains all over the    bedroom where she    left the child & the cat.    Shocked, the woman    waile...

SEX-ESCAPADE

          Relationship goals to some is dating with fine sex, but some of us dont take our time to check our partners before going into "it".  Sexually transmitted diseases are flying around now and it’s like most of us don’t even pay attention to them. Sad, but had to be said. Tunde started dating Nina. She was beautiful, fair skinned and petite. "Portable babe", he called her whenever he boasts to his friends about her. Little did he know what he was getting himself into. He said she was so free with him, gave him anything he wanted. In his mind, he thought he was using her, but he noticed she kept coming back for more which fuelled his male ego. In our brother’s mind, he was good.  On the 14th of December, 2016,  she left him without a word. He called her, texted her, but she did not reply and he continued with his life and he dated no one else. Two months later, his brother had an accident and needed blood. Of course, he ...
