If tomorrow I were to bid farewellTo life, of what wispy song would the lipsOf history sing of me? Of what song? Will I be the shadow night loathes to cast?Will I be the truth unworthy of praise?Will I be the fetid stench flies abhor? Will I be a paragon to others?Will I be theContinue reading “IF TOMORROW I WERE TO BID FAREWELL”

FORTRESS OF BEAUTY
Thunder of the sea Enchanter of the coast To whom her flamboyance Cowers to the heart of men. Utterances are like a gushing spring that voids a man his barns of fear I am a boundless sea of purity Pride of the heavens, star of the earth Warmth of the morning Glowing crown of theContinue reading “FORTRESS OF BEAUTY”
THIS IS US
Love: a bonny symphonic orchestra.At least that was what we desired to be—Needing every excerpt in its extra,And sipping its resplendent creamy brie. Perfection was the adage we aimed for.We’d praised its being with everything usForgetting every titanic could tore.In love’s mirage, we rode on hatred bus. Fairly, our stunning love was a puzzle;Riddle ofContinue reading “THIS IS US”
I’LL LOVE A DANCE WITH YOU
I’ll love a dance with youUnder the moon,With your scarlet lips on mine,Your caressSlithering its tentacles on my body,And your waist swaying on my reverbs.I’ll love a dance with youUnder the embers of the February’s moon.You, yes you, my bride and pride,Your dance, your waist beads, my joy. ©TurksonQuills❣️
WHAT SHALL WE EAT?
Meat and fish, gizzard and croaker,All rolled into one steaming hot and large bowlof hunger as harsh as the sun in Sokoto,And lack that grips us as firmly as a viceas we sing in fuzzy voices: what shall we eat? Rice and beans, egusi and fufu,We hope for some but are fed fullof empty promisesContinue reading “WHAT SHALL WE EAT?”
THAT’S ALL I WANT TO HEAR
I dug till I met the crust of your smileAnd realized it wasn’t mine.You should have told me‘Cos I’ve fallen so much thatI can’t find my way home.Hey, you should have told me. “I wish I could show you the way out,But I love you so much thatMy heart’s jungle wants you lost in it.Yes,Continue reading “THAT’S ALL I WANT TO HEAR”

MY EROTICA LANGUAGE
…but all I need is you.I want to be the one of your everyone,To soar the comfort your duvet gives,To be in reverie when your thoughts flood my mind,To be your desire when the dawn is cold,To be that log your garden prefers in its centreAnd to lick the sweet fluids from your inner lips,ForContinue reading “MY EROTICA LANGUAGE”
THE SUICIDE NOTE
I stopped writing the moment you left.You were my inspiration for every single word I thought of.I loved the desire of your eyes when they looked at me. Many a time, I felt your hug was the safest haven (tears flow from eyes).Since you left,I’ve swum in reverie thinking we were a thing,Thinking we wereContinue reading “THE SUICIDE NOTE”
BEST DECISION
I miss the way I used to miss you—It was awesome,But it’s all erstwhile now.I’d wished for better.I’m glad I loved you though.‘Tis the best decision I ever took. ©TurksonQuills
