Waning Sun

 




Like a waning evening sun, I watch you creep back into your shell,

Dimming your light and pulling together your curtains like an evening show just ended.

But there was no round of applause from you 

No rising ovation 

Or vote of thanks. 


Because it's just you and prolly I (who is hiding outside the door) 

Waiting for you to gift me a glance, 

Just a little turn of your head would have revealed me to you

And maybe you'd find in my eyes, my obsessive love for you. 


And just like it is always been, you don't see me  crushing on you, 

You don't notice me noticing you all day, all night 

You don't notice me preparing my gun to shoot my shot at you. 


And just like a waning evening sun, you wrap it up like an evening show, 

Your face bereft of its usual glow and radiance, 

No shadow of smile tracing your lips, 

Your blue angelic eyes looking like they have set gaze on better things, 


Slowly, you fade into yourself, 

Covering up your heart like a tortoise shell, 

Building tons and tons of barricades against it, 

Guarding it with the gravest looking lock. 


Stay a little while, my queen

Shine a little, my love

I know you are tired of all the games all, 

I know your heart has become wary of men's lies and deceits. 

I know you'd rather be on your own than give another another chance, 


But i beg you my lady, 

Stay a little while and wait for me!!!

The Clumsy Wife

When you were asked about your swollen right eye, you said you sleepwalked and hit your face against the wall. We all said sorry and asked you to get well soon. A few days after, it was your chin that was shifted to the side. In response, you blamed it again in your clumsiness and that you feel off the bed. You are a grown woman in her late 30's. This time, we had questions that we couldn't dare to ask you. Weeks later, you were limping and you assured us that it was your clumsiness that made you fall down the stairs. At this point, we faced our business and wished you all the best. 2 months later, you're lying in a golden casket, 6 feet under the ground.  The autopsy read that you died from a deep gash on your forehead, probably a hit from the bloody plank of wood that was found beside your corpse. At this point, you want to talk. You wanted to say it all. But it's too late. Your husband claimed you hit your head on the plank, and we all believed him because you told u

She Must Be Obeyed Movie Review

  I don't understand Funke Akindele's obsession with the music industry Sha. She is always trying to project the industry one way or the other - we have Industreet already. On this new one Sha, I don't know how to feel about it.  This storyline is great. The life of a Celebrity musician behind the camera and in front of the camera. But the directing get as e be. The movie just dey anyhow. But the acting from some cast made up for the 'anyhowness'. Bishop (Okon) was amazing. Lateef was great. Gayness doesn't fit Akah. He shouldn't try it again. Vee tried small. I don't understand what Ali Nuhu was acting. Lizzy Jay sef dey vex person. The entire Rachael Okonkwo family weren't it at all. Mama Gee no try at all. Don't give her a drunk role again. Nancy Isime was Nancy Isime, Just there. Shaffy Bello was great as always. In all, I will give it a 4/10.

Big Love Movie Review

  While this movie tried not to be your regular Nollywood Romantic movie, I still got annoyed at some small small mistakes that I saw. Inkblot is too big for some mistakes that were present in this movie. Overall, Big Love is nice. It's a movie that would take you through a rollercoaster of emotions. The beginning was quite not it.  Most of the dialogues got me rolling my eyes, like warahell. Casting was great. Storyline was amazing Directing wasn't coordinated. There were scenes that looked rushed and scattered. PS - VJ Adams should just leave Bimbo for Timini. Their chemistry is mind-blowing. Timini had grown as an actor. And it's great to see. Aunty Shaffy is great, as always. Overall, I'd give it an 8/10.
