Muted Conversations II

So this week, which actually ended yesterday has been one of the quietest low-key weeks for me in recent times. It has been a week of reflections for me which may thaw into the coming weeks because I'm still in it. There is this need to detoxify my thoughts and there are two ways in which this has worked for me effectively. Okay, not really two ways but one way, the second is enshrouded in the first. One is solitude, the second is listening to Hillsong but not the normal way you guys listen to it. I usually have to tune the volume way down till it seems as if the song is coming from distant space. It gives the feeling of me listening to an inner voice. Silent but speaking from within....far away... in an atmosphere of utter silence.
However, its been a week of low key reflections when i witnessed a strange occurrence about me and the poems i write.
 
Okay, like most of you guys know. I write poems (some of which i wouldn't regard as poems but you guys insist it is) and i made a new friend few days ago who is also a poet. Yes, a prolific one at that.
It all began with trivial talks about issues surrounding NYSC and the likes of them when the conversation drifted to poetry and she told me how she did a spoken word piece in camp for Miss NYSC which she happened to be a contestant. In my thoughts I was like "okay, what does this one know now" and curiously asked her to tell me about the poem. I was numbed at her performance. "OMG!!! this babe sabi oh". She did a couple of other poems she's written and my head almost imploded with bewildering astonishment.
I told her i was also a poet but not as good as she was but she insisted its a lie, that she would love to see my poems. I reluctantly gave her my phone to see some i posted on my blog and that's when the strange experience began.

She began with a love poem i wrote sometime in 2015 and when she began, the words began to come alive. I could see them in my thoughts coming together to form a beautiful and naked woman, with skin radiant with melanin fervor. This girl, i mean my friend seemed like an herbalist, conjuring the words with a tonality so seductive, mild and thin to form this woman in my mind. As she was reading, this figure came closer and hugged me. Her lips touched mine, nipples were firm as she pressed them on my chest, sending shock waves from my brain down to my spine. We grinded our groins into grains of ecstacy till we achieved orgasm, in its silk and powdered form.
 
I had just made love to my words, and it was the most exhilarating experience ever.
Now i want her to read most of my poems to me when I'm about going to bed, even if it means paying her. No one has ever read my poems to me the way she did. She holds this record now and i hope she keeps to it. I'm yet to let her know of my reading proposal, i doubt it will be feasible but who knows, with faith, miracles happen.

Muted Conversation IX

Tonight i would stay awake and think about how we eloped into mysteries. You came in and stuffed my mind with effervescent chemistry. I couldn't breathe. All i knew was, i wanted to strip you naked and disvirgin your imagination with words borne from a heart yearning for intimacy. But i was dumb... silence gagged me like a prisoner tortured by the snares of grief. All i could see was temptation staring at me in stern disbelief. "Do something" my alter ego would say. But all i could do was take my mind on a erotic spree to love's garden. I would take your hands and slowly caress them light and thin. Hypnotizing my senses into the pores of your skin. I wanted you to feel what i feel. I wanted to dissolve into your memories and hack them with images of me. I wanted to wet the appetite between your thighs with testimonies of godliness and raw passion. I wanted to perform the ceremony of consummation. I would look at you and break into a smile governed by naughty ideas and...

++Constellations++

One.... two... three. in constant increments, we began the fire that merged two worlds together. "Analysis check" was the phrase I evoked in constant scrutiny of these raging magma in my veins. Our meeting was a constellation of fireflies in space. in which we drowned subconsciously, but somehow evolved into amphibians. that could adapt to these changes terraforming our minds into colonies of insanity. Your eyes is the gate to a world simple and beautiful. Sometimes I question the nature of my reality in your absence. because reality is when I’m with you. Your hands is the highway to all things tender and poignant. Sometimes I get sick when I’m not with you. because your touch makes me blue. I won't try to fight these soldiers of affections assembled in my mind for a war of wit and guts because they will surely prevail. Instead I will lead them on a course to victory in mind, body, spirit and soul. Because I think I've found that mis...

Sunbeams

The sun beams its rays of light Into an eerie fog of darkness. Paving way for joy to dance its way Into the shadows of night. Surreal silence then decides to prey On this joy, transforming it to fear. The fog then morphs into faces of demons. Dining in a feast of fright. The sun beams again to disrupt the darkness And chaos sets in. The mind of joy enlivens into straws of hope. Standing in a congregation singing. "Rays of joy...rays of spoil. Shine with colors that destroy. Rays of joy, come restore. Beams of hope and faith employ To a heart so frail and thin And a mind, timid and weak Shine with grace so strong and heal Open wounds and age long scars" The sun beams now rays of hope. Forming a rainbow in a desert of whispers. Reality becomes a dream. Blistering fantasies into the winds. Then suddenly i wake into shards of loneliness Beaten by the fray of a long lost bond. The sun beams onto my face As i look out to the window Staring at nothing. H...
