Masked people

By Kelvin Eloho

We tell a lot, yet reveal little. Facts so many yet truth hidden. Hinged to solace we live in public, lone rangers. Our smiles hide our sorrow.
So careful of our hearts, afraid to take risk. We tell you so much about us yet that's just everyones' truth. Seeming perfect but get too familiar you unravel the spots.

We'll just  to open up.

Review of Children of Blood and Bone

By Kelvin Eloho
Reading Children of Blood & bone . The narrative & descriptions felt so real. Whenever I got lost in a fantasy world of panthenaires, lionaires, maji, kosidans and magic I never wanted leave. Those moments felt like I lived the fiction & I wanted no escape. "Kwame brushes past me, running for the heart of the battle. He grips a dagger tight in his hands. Then he slashes open his palm. Blood magic. Horror settles into my bones. It’s like the world slows to a stop, stretching the seconds between this moment and the last Kwame will ever have. His blood glows with a white light, splashing as it hits the ground. In an instant the ivory light surrounds him, illuminating his dark skin like a god from above. When it reaches the top of his head, it seals his fate. A fire explodes from his skin. Smoldering embers rain from his body. Flames blaze around his form.

NYSC Post Camp Experience

By Kelvin Eloho

Some will just walk into their PPA, receive their acceptance letter and even enjoy 2 weeks hols. While some will just go there and get rejected straight away. Some others will be told to go and come back the next day and the next and the next to nauseating extremes until they luckily accept or to your agony reject you. While some will even go and discover their PPA doesn't exist. There'll sure be some that'll will be posted to 1 useless PPA that they're not paying or doing anything and will have to beg for rejection. Amongst these ones, some will be rejected, others wouldn't. Then amongst these corpers, some will just go home and not know what to do with their lives apart from eating and sleeping. While some might even go to lengths such as paying for rejection.

FEELINGS OF FICTION

By Kelvin Eloho
You make me feel good, I get over 'overwhelms' but never to the feelings of your touch I'll pull you close show you how love feels Hours turning to seconds My mind in chaos Yet these moments feel like heaven You always know what I need Read my silence and there's a warm hug I take the weights off with you within arms Feel a little tipsy watching you pretty smile so stellar Stars from your gaze cruise me wonderland You say love ain't simple Sure it isn't, there is no 'simple define' the feeling when you smile Sure there's no mountain, there's none too steep like the race of my heart Maybe is just love for the feeling I wake up and reality seems like a dream with you beside A disease without no cure There's just one word for this feeling It's FICTION
