Evidence of the Rain
jerry KWATCHEY

Evidence of the Rain

#poetry Evidence of the Rain There are times… when you don’t need to ask if it rained… to know that it did. The evidence lies all around you… if you are willing to look. The wet earth… the softened air… the gentle shimmer on every surface. Truth leaves traces… even when the rain itself is long gone. People are no different. You don’t always need to question who they are… or what they carry within. Because the evidence… is already there. In their actions. In the unintended mom...

FLAME AGAINST THE WIND

#poetry FLAMES AGAINST THE WIND A SIMU Reflection All we ever truly have in life are moments and memories. All we ever truly own are moments and memories. Even those we cherish… even the ones that shine brightest in our hearts… they are finite. Sometimes they vanish with the last person who remembers us. Life is fleeting. A flame flickering and fluttering against the wind. No matter how bright, defiant, or steady the flame burns, the wind will eventually put it out. We are all flames. Flicke...

THE OCEAN I EMPTY FOR YOU

#poetry My Love, Sometimes a thought drifts through my mind so quietly, yet it leaves behind a satisfaction so deep it almost feels like a secret blessing. It is the thought that I could pour out entire oceans of language every word, every metaphor, every piece of beauty ever written just to describe who you are… and still, it would never be enough. Because you are breathtaking in a way the world is not equipped to measure. People may see you dressed beautifully, glowing, radiant enough to m...

Five Orphans of Sudan
Kingsley Bassey Ukpong

Five Orphans of Sudan

They told us once the sky was a playground, a blue that kept its promises like a mother. We learned to fly paper birds on afternoons, to thread our names into string and let them go. Now the sky is a ledger of smoke; the kites hang like questions from the ribs of telephone poles. We are five small hands that remember how to laugh, five mouths that still know the taste of mango hope, but the streets have taught us other languages: the hush of curfews, the grammar of checkpoints, the arithmetic o...

A Monument for His Needs

#poetry Potent lips wearing down her fortitude . Claiming Kisses ,guarded down dressed in nothing but goosebumps from the words of her master wielded through longing and devotion. She craves a man who'd become her religion validating her faith in night rituals where her moans would become hymns in the temple of their bedroom. So as he made his tongue an elevated fine piece of art designed for her sensual hunger and her uncensored desires , her body eased into a canvas for his desires and the ...

THE UNWRITTEN POETS

#poetry *To the Unwritten Poets…* 🖤🖋️ Not every poet writes. Some are simply *gifted with words, words that live in the *heart, mind, body, and soul,* but find it hard to come out on paper. Maybe it’s trauma. Maybe it’s pressure. Maybe it’s a disability. Maybe it’s just how life shaped you. Some of you *speak* beautifully, but your hands struggle to follow. Some of you give prompts and let tools like AI write for you and that’s still YOU. Some of you are full...

THE GAZE

#poetry THE GAZE There are looks… And then there are events moments so powerful they do not simply happen, they alter the architecture of a soul. A man may look at a woman and see beauty. Simple, honest, earthly beauty. You are beautiful… others are beautiful… and you stand among them. A compliment. A truth. A recognition. But then there is the other kind of gaze the one rare men give, and rare women ever experience. A gaze not born of desire, but of devotion so complete it feels like t...

Nigeria, in Cadence
morgan omotayo

Nigeria, in Cadence

For the dawn that breaks on the Lagos lagoon, A city hums a steel-and-glass tune, But underneath the freeway’s steady groan, Lies the older rhythm, the bedrock tone. It’s the crackle of akara in the morning pan, The call of “Oyinbo!” from the market man. The thump-thump of yam in a giant mortar’s mouth, Pounding out a heartbeat from the south. It’s the whisper of the harmattan, dry and wise, Dusting gold on everything that lies Beneath the roar of Abuja’s destined hour, And the d...

LOVE LIKE CHARCOAL

LOVE LIKE CHARCOAL

#poetry My love for you is like charcoal ancient, steady, and more stubborn than the night itself. It doesn’t spark quickly, it doesn’t rush or flare for show, but once it begins to glow… once it truly awakens… it can warm an entire home. It resists fire, but it never resists meaning. And when that ember finally stirs, it burns steady, deep, slow, and true the kind of flame no harmattan wind can put out. You’re not some ordinary matchstick love. You’re the reason the ember searches ...

Beautiful Fears

Fly not away again, O night and dusk betrayed! Twilight hides in dreams Moans, yearns beyond sleep divides Fade away dawn but an empty heart. I gather my shadows to trust again The path lights the light Stranded on the shores of your heart, Will your smile ease my pains? Will your heart this stranger take? Ease flows this stubborn tide Lonely I drift on rejections fears Ten times loved, a thousand scars! Sordid laurels of heartbreaks Decorates my beautiful fears. Light holds the shadows at ba...

Winter blows hot the hearth Quenching droughts thirst An oasis, love yearned with fraught Springs, ears of hope Steady rebirth love to reborn That that was demised in heartbreak. Broken hugs and kisses unkissed Musked the fragrance of tears Blighted hope wreathed Strings hopes chaplet Hidden in her smile Beyond the ...

All the years of sojourning on earth, Though has not paid off, Still hold the promise. With hope, comes the light. And the light gives Life. Worry not over the outcome of the past. As gloomy as may be, With it holds the keys of the portals of the future. For the past (history) unchanged, is the porter through the gateway to the future. So, spend your now (time) well. Tomorrow is but unredeemable of the past, history unchanged. Thus, redeem the future of unchanged past, now in the present; R...

ECHOES OF THE ARENA

#poetry Once upon an age long faded into dust, a soul who did not know Spartacus or Crixus was marked as adrift a wanderer outside the rhythm of his own civilization. For in those days, the gladiators were constellations in human form, their names sung by boys with wide eyes and men whose spirits burned for spectacle. The arena was their universe, and within its sand the world found meaning. And today, it is football. The chants rise the same, the devotion breathes the same, the heroes wear dif...

THE ONE WHO IS POETRY

#poetry THE ONE WHO IS POETRY A Reflection by SIMU There is a difference a quiet, impossible difference between someone who writes poetry and someone who is poetry. The one who writes poetry has to reach for words. They sit. They think. They search their mind like a miner digging for gold hoping a spark will show itself. Their art is effort. Their inspiration is a visitor. Their creativity is a guest they must invite with candles, silence, mood. But the one who is poetry… Baba, that one is ...

It lays down its weapons, drops its defenses, and bows with both hands on the floor like a worshipper who finally found the altar they were born to kneel before. You didn’t just enter my thoughts you rewired them. You rearranged the architecture of my mind so that every path, every turn, every quiet corner of my consciousness leads back to you. Do you know what that means? It means I don’t just think...

Without them, the foundation trembles. Without them, even strength becomes scattered, and passion becomes smoke with no flame to hold onto. Because the will needs direction. The vision needs a destination. The fire inside us must know what it is burning for. For what is a man without purpose? What is a life without focus? A drifting w...

It's never late to be grate. So, Start where you are; That's your reference point. Life begins at 50 for the late risers. 50, the midcentury is but a magic turn for some. 50: It marks the end of youth and the beginning of the second youth towards the elderly. So, “why grow old”—in wits, ideas, activity..? You’re as old as you feel so; as you mentally perceive of yourself to be. Age is just a number!

His eyes never rested. They darted from horizon to hull, from sky to sailor, measuring every shift in wind, every whisper of movement, like a man who had learned long ago that danger announces itself in small, quiet ways. Commitment… loyalty… these were d...

You are fair enough in your beauty, yet the one who sees and smells is more blessed than the one who only smells but cannot see.

A soft trembling in your breath that wasn’t there a moment ago. Because what I’m about to say is not affection… it is impact. I would begin gently so gently you wouldn’t notice how the softness is breaking your guard: “You… you are the silence I didn’t know I needed, and the chaos I’m no longer afraid to feel.” Then the lines wo...

THE EMPEROR AND TRUTH

#poetry THE EMPEROR AND TRUTH — A SIMU REFLECTION Love is not comfort. Love is courage. Love is the strength to speak when silence would be easier, when words could wound, but when they must be said. Truly caring for someone means telling them what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. The Emperor’s New Clothes appears in many forms: vanity, pride, denial. Do you really love someone if you cannot point out the truth? If you fear their feelings, so you let strangers mock them? Waitin...

#poetry Loved From a Distance Some truths are impossibly harsh to embrace. Some souls are too fractured to be restored. Their mast sailed past the point of return long before we ever met them. They move through life bitter and broken, releasing tendrils of despair, waves of anguish, and clouds of quiet toxicity like a super-villain forged by their own hurt. And if you stay in their orbit too long, their gravity will pull you in, slowly dimming your own light. The truth never promised to be ge...

The intricacies of human connection the shift in a voice, the warmth in a pause, the quiet honesty in body language all of it is invisible to them. To such minds, communication is not a language… it’s quantum physics. A mystery they stand in...

Pedestrian love

With the first sight of her, just a slight My heart skips a beat my mind loses all the railings over my heart. A beat, a second beat, a thunderous beating, crush against my ribs, so much overdo.
