GOOD NIGHT ÀBÈNÍ By: David O. AKANO




Good night Abeni!
But in case you refuse to
Let go of the galore in the snow garden
With the speaking flowers and jesting torns,
I'll help you tell Baba that
You had worried about him since
He left his scar unattended to
Thinking the giant bee will sting
Him and defecate sweetness on it.

I'll also tell afokóyerí that you challenged
Her to a battle of relevance and relativity.
I'll tell her of your boast to turn her upside-down
And pull of her rib for trinity digestion.

I'll tell the cloud of your wishes,
I'll tell her of your deepest fear,
I'll tell her to form the face of
Your mother and make her happy
That she can get to breastfeed you again.

And if you wake up,
I'll sing the song of atótó-arére
To the cow skin of your ear,
Eulogizing the skin of your palm
And the scalp of your gìgísè.
I'll remind you still of the
Wickedness of the sixth day creation.
I'll yet remind you of your true self.
Of the images you paint of the surface of
The shell that embrayo's you.

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 ...
