IF....

By Akinbode Toluleke


If all dreams are realities and not mere fantansies,
And each reality are accomplishment of this dreams
Then the world would turn to chaos.

If the sea besiege emotions, and this triggered by humanities disrespect to its compendium,
 As oil spillage graced its offspring, for there shall be no trespasser save its embodiments, for a state of trepidation would have trephine mankind.

If birds can tell the tale of two cities, for justice they cleave adjournment they behold, birds would commit felonious felony against state and humankind never be forgiven no more.

If roads could elongate for elopement, bridges seek refuge under the seas, tunnels placate their tracks, over humanities degradation of movement, leading to a Dadaism of Avangardazation, then people would mentalise their insanity to sanity.

If machines could talk; speak like the twitter, communicate like men, cry like women, scream like children.... Then the best of science would not be diverted to kill. For they would grade our minds, purity to the soul, and eulogy for a grey hair.

If I could seek the woman of my dream, beautify her membrane, kiss her lips, cleanse her paths, hypnotize her wishes, until she calls I would be fantod. For joy greased my paths, her radiant love I would cherish even down as death calls my attention, for her I phantom every bit of pleasure to seek her ecstasy.

  3. Simple diction is a poetic attribute of language, I think, personally, it's the choice of the poet to choose heavy or simple words. If I could seek my own woman of my dream.... This is a good one, trust me.

    This is a piece of writing I really enjoy. You have put so much thought into it. Nevertheless, communication is only complete when it is understood by the receiver. Slow down on the vocab.

TWO WATERS by Mide Benedict

                               When two stones meet, they say, either one breaks the other, or they both break into pieces, but when two waters mix, they become one, and inseparable: so was the way it went for Akanji and Aduke. The day was bright at that time. The light of the sun shinned through the clouds, covering large fields of grasses and making them appear very radiant in their green skins. Akanji had kept it in mind for long: his heart pierced him badly that he knew that day was the day he would regain his freedom. Aduke, an elegant lady with vibrant smiles, enormous charms that made men melt on sighting her, sat beside Akanji as they usually did everyday. Many men have dreamt of Aduke in the night when they snoozed in bed with snores. In fact, many wanted to have her as something; be it wife, mistress or whatever just to have a taste of her, but the more they spoke to her, the more she ...

Mute by Mide Benedict

That Friday, everyone was spitless, yet it felt as if we spoke all at once in fading tones. Adiza, Halimat's sister wore it differently, her eyes, blood red, her tongue, twisted. Mine was twisted too. Halimat laid right there, silent and unmoving; each gaze at her drove tears out of my eyes.
