POETRY: The Altar Of Matrimony

I have waited, I have really waited

For many days and nights

Through many sunrise and sunsets

That I have lost pace with.

I have always wondered

And found myself lost

In the world of my thoughts

I have been shamed

I have been mocked

I have been chided

All because I chose

To wait for you

And dance to the rhythm

That we have been instructed.

This day

Seemed never to arrive

Out of impatience

People have broken themselves

Into different souls

And meshed with different bodies.

I am so proud

I waited for you

I am so proud

I am not a coward

For pinning values on you

That I refuse myself.

This night

We will teach ourselves

The rhythm of love

And move at our own pace

Tonight I see not used good

But a beautiful treasure.

I see not an art

in a hurry to act

but an art

whose beauty ages

like a fine wine.

Tonight

the moon will standstill

to gaze upon your beauty

and the navel of your soul

because tonight

I will explore your beauty

that has been perfected

for the two of us

to become one

at the ripe hour

that was formed

on the altar of matrimony.

Burning Coles (Pt. 2) - Emmanuela Evbuoma

‘My leg my leg’ Seyi who now was sitting on the floor cried. ‘Oh my God’ Mrs Cole exclaimed as she saw the oil stain on her daughter’s sky blue jean trousers. She quickly turned off the gas cooker and helped Seyi remove her trouser as she called on top of her voice to Mr Cole, who was hearing all that was going on but showed no interest. Mr Cole staggered into the kitchen ‘what is it? Why you shouting my name like they are chasing you?’ he asked, obviously drunk. ‘Hot oil poured on your daughter’s thighs and that’s all you can say?’ she asked as she poured cool water on Seyi’s thighs. ‘So what do you now want me to do?’ he asked annoyingly ‘better take her to the hospital and don’t disturb me’ he said and turned around to leave. ‘Ha is that all you have to say?’ Mrs Cole was fed up of her husband’s lackadaisical attitude. She lifted Seyi up from the floor and supported her as they walked out of the kitchen to the main door. She shouted on top of her voice ‘Bimbo b
