Not so long ago
I was just a boy
I was so full of life
Was without a direction in the world
Yet, my heart was big, soft, n fair


Then you came knocking
Your cute smile n passionate eyes
Who could resist you?


You became my habit
My obsession
For two whole years, you were the reason I lived
You became my whole world


But on a cold tuesday night-
Three days before our anniversary
Three nights before I asked you to be my wife-
On the bed we shared
I found a note
A Dear John you wrote


"with you I had fun
with you I feel loved.
With you I can be free,
But now I have to leave


"I'm sorry, but I met someone
And he means a lot to me.
King, he asked me to be with him!
I want to be with him!


"When you love the way I love him,
King,
You'll understand the way I feel.
Thanks for the memories,
I will always cherish them. "


...you chopped my heart into a hundred tiny pieces
You roasted them over a fire you started inside me
Served them to me with a smiley face n my tears to drink.
Girl, you rigged my world with explosives
Then you made me watch as it levelled before me


You're the devil, n I'm a fool


For why else would you be in my arms
Just a year later, crying over my shoulders
After he left you
A wreck with a baby in a tired womb

"Purest of heart!" Despite his melancholic emotions, Akande had to laugh at that! Purest of heart indeed! The child-like creature must've been talking to the wrong person, or he's a joker! "me, purest of heart? Do you even know why my girlfriend's father wants to kill me?"

Irshittabey:
The forest was so thick and dark,and he kept running in such a haphazard manner,and always turning back to glimpse at his scary looking pursuer. Then all of a sudden a great rock lay ahead,it was hidden before by the thick vegetation,now there was no way to escape.when he got to the rock,he couldn't go right or left because it was rock there too and behind him was his pursuer and the forest,what would he do now? Then he heard a voice"oh you stranger to enter the rock knock on the rock thrice" and so Akande couldn't think of anything else to escape his pursuer other than to enter the rock. Initialy he called out to ask who it was that spoke,but since there was no response,and his pursuer was gaining on him he knocked the rock thrice,and voila! he was in the rock safe from his pursuer, but he knows not what awaits him in the rock's cave.

After the initial disorientation Akande experienced on entering the cave, he took a good look around the mysterious space and a new kind of fear crept into his essence.
"By eledumare!" Instead of being in a cave, he found himself in the middle of a sleeping town. He looked more and through his fear, he noticed the huts were sturdier than any he's ever seen in all his twenty years, much taller and strangely built. The sky was the colour of blood n the vegetation around him had the colour of the inside of a ripe pawpaw, "E'duwa! I'm in the land of the dead!"
"No, you are not," a playful voice suddenly said beside him, making him jump "I didn't mean to scare you, but you are not in the land of the dead, you're in Il'orisha! The land of the gods!"

princesa: how can you bring up a furstrating game

the game aint frustrating, not if you are creative enough. The fact that no one is playing it is

(copyright: king josiah blaq 2012)

The early morning coolness gently massaged my outstretched legs like my desperate, feather fingered girlfriend, Adaeze, trying to trick me into marriage. Relaxed, I closed my eyes and drew in a greedy ration of the sweet smelling palm-wine flavoured air fooling around in the bar. Feeding my soul and saturating my lungs with the healthy palmwiney air, I held my breath.

Coincidentally, Eye Adaba, a soulful early morning song from Asa's first album started playing softly in the radio right above my head.

Ooh Perfect!

I slowly exhaled with a low moan, smiling merrily as Asa's seductive voice catapulted me into a palm-wine flavoured jacuzzi with my lovely Adaeze...

Adaeze, dressed in a skimpy bikini, was dancing erotically beside me. She leaned in to give me a kiss. But with a swift calculated movement, my love's sensuous lips opted for my neck instead, nibbling gently my neck with those 32 cherubic pearls she calls teeth.

Hmmn... I was in heaven. Adaeze kissed her way up to my earlobe. After getting my ear pretty hot and wet, she whispered in a low flirty voice "I love you."

Those words sent a zillion icy spiders gliding down my spines. I stumbled back "I love you too, baby and I'll always love you forever and day. Ada, u know I-" I was stopped by a lone finger quickly supported by two wet softness on my lips

"shh... Pelumi, i know you love me," my queen breathed into my mouth. "I know, okay and i want you"

"okay" dumb! I scolded myself inwardly, but all grudges I held against myself was forgotten for good when I felt hands trying to pull down my shorts under the water.

Oh, my god! Yes! oh Yes! Yes!! This is really happening!!

Once my shorts were down and my engorged manhood was freed, I heard Adaeze whine "Pelumi, will you marry me?"

Heck! Wasn't I supposed to be the one proposing?

But I've gone too far now to let some stupid ego stop me

"YES!! Yes!!!"

"Yes what?" she cooed as she wrapped her hands around my member "I want to hear you say it"

That touch made me jump and I yelled "Yes! I will marry you!! Yes! Yes!!... Yes, Yes Yes!!"

I kept on yelling until something hard, loud and painful hit me roughly on my cheek. I screamed aloud; the pain wasn't that great though, but it was directly opposite what I was expecting.

Struggling to open my eyes (I didn't know that opening one's eyes could take so long), I wailed

"Ada! What did I do now?"

But instead of my sweet thing's voice, what came was the loud baritone of my boss, and there was enough anger to begin Armageddon in it.

"Aargh!!! Pelumi!!! you are dead!"

Another voice followed, but this one was slurred and greedy "Pelumi! See how much palm-wine you've wasted on a Monday morning!!"

Those voices brought back my sight and there, I saw my boss, fuming, and desperately trying to break free from the grasp of his brother, Okereke. Behind them were five drunk-heads looking hungrily right through me. I looked around and saw that somehow six out of ten palm-wine kegs were lying dead and empty on the floor like dead soldiers in a battle field.

Somehow, six kegs of palmie had been emptied on me. How it happened, I didn't know. Somehow, My boss freed himself and he was charging towards me like bull. And somehow, I definitely knew that I was a dead man.

I bow to your talent! Your art is beautiful

princesa: and what are you bringing to the table?

we'll see...
I'm a writer (majorly poet) n i'm currently trying to get writers on nairaland to play a writing game...its frustrating tho

@blaq

creativity, homur, n craziness...cocktail of life

360prince: . Well thanks for commenting on this thread. It not a fiction my guy. It a true life story that happened to me. Some secondary schools hav good seniors while some hav bad seniors. Lik go my school. Bad seniors were every where and they had no pity for students under them.

i hear you my guy... While it was intolerable at the time, the bad seniors made the memories more interesting.

Great story!
