A TRUE LOVE, A SINCERE WRONG, A WORTHY EXIT-Daloy Stiz


Love, Oh my love, My dearest love, My honey
Sweetie pie, Honey, and many other golden pleasantries
Persisted for one-and-a-half years that seemed like centuries
I truly erotically loved Juliet
Though not yet a start but a starlet
Did I not hear God clearly?
Or I took the message so barely?
It was one of those messages that holds life
I started after one year of spiritual relationship without strife

By his grace I got her a Bible
Made me seem so reliable
Then I got her gifts that seemed more attractive than the Bible-
Now this made me seem bankable
But ever before all these, he said:
‘Make her a friend, she has 3 out of 5 things your wife would have’
I was calm about it but was not so sure of what afterwards, I heard
He also said ‘I don’t want you to get something like it and not the very it’
All these I heard in prayer sessions
Though a voice kept saying ‘she is the one’ outside the sessions
And I despised the voice and prayed that it should reside
Behold it did subside

Caution came from a legend of faith
‘Be careful of entering a relationship so you won’t go into a marriage earlier
than you should, I don’t want a case where someone would become history in the faith’
This was the Sunday after I went on a date
Making it all seem like the devil’s bait.
Now, this constrained David and seeing the need for her to be delivered
He stepped back emotionally and put eros behind him and never staggered

Flipping through the pages, one year after…

SALIENT LESSONS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERIES The coronary arteries provide blood supply to the heart, the blood pump. Some of its duties are outlined and deductions are saliently made from them. 1.       REPLENISHMENT: The first lesson to take from the coronary artery is that it replenishes the heart. While performing the work of pumping blood to other tissues, the cardiac muscle is replenished by means of its 2 coronary arteries. 2.       DIRECTLY SOURCED: The coronary arteries, unsurprisingly, take origin from the aorta, the main artery leaving the left ventricle, carrying oxygenated blood to all branch arteries of the human body. Thus, it originates from the principal source of maximally oxygenated blood; this points to the fact that it reveres impartation and not opinions. 3.       PERFUSION: The coronary arteries ensure that blood gets to every part of the heart by means of its several branches.

#MONDAY’S PROSE THIS CHILD; ON THE ROAD

Through my myopic eyes, a fleeting image of a little boy is formed on my retina A little boy in a little suit, Treading the familiar bushy routes before him The boy had neither escort nor directives And surely, he needed none For a 4 yr old on the road possesses more maturity than a 10 year old in ‘comfort’ Swiftly, she navigated through cars held in traffic An adventurous smile tugging at her split lips Providing snacks for impatient car-owners And though panting from car-chasing, She had a visible life of passionate content She probably planned to get off the street, Forsake her hypothetical ‘street-urchin boyfriend’, Give up this demeaning way of living, But I feared she wouldn’t! She hadn’t been wired to get off the street And sadly, she was too content to stage a forced exit. Children on the road and teenagers of the road, Not choosing to be this vulnerable Yet hooded and shrouded in the cold, Filled with shreds of hope that the fut...

CHRONICLES OF A NIGERIAN PHYSIOTHERAPIST by 'Bola Abioye

EPISODE FIVE ‘Mum, who called you this time again?’ I finally asked. ‘Oh… Charles, that’s what matters to you now right. What matters to you is if it’s Prophet Jabesh or Prophet Judas that called me?’ Then I burst into laughter. I can’t help but wonder why these prophets must bear names as Judas, Jabesh…if you know, you know. Then she changed it for me straight up. ‘Charles, why exactly are you laughing? You know I get scared anytime you get close to that girl and you know that I am at the risk of having stroke with the way my blood pressure rises in little situations.’ There she goes again. My mum gets little information on health precautions and that’s the end. We hear nothing else save what she has learnt in the house for about at least a month. She subscribes to all sorts of health tips on her network and then tries to confirm her newly found information from me. She has several facts on why eating eba, using an onion bulb that has been cut once and use...
