Flattery

By Kelvin Eloho

Flattery, he moves across kingdoms gracefully and with a smile crumbling fortified walls, medieval castles; seducing maidens. He's rock down the towers of the east, taken freely the maidens of the west and has broken the queens southward. He lay siege  at your walls, day and night and his strategy, words. The euphony of his voice, gracious and silk. Till you open your gates or drop down security on your walls for just whispers from his honeycomb. Then he takes for ruin your city and leaves no spoil.
He is canny in the aspect of war and he loses no soldiers.
When he comes, chew his words but do not swallow. Take gusto the savor of the gum but do not swallow. Don't let it have a dessert of you, spit it out. Enjoy the moment well aware it doesn't last.

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. The fire erupts from every limb, shooting out of his mouth, his arms, his legs. The blast towers meter...

NYSC Post Camp Experience

By Kelvin Eloho
A little prattle to all those white fouls that have just been displaced from camp.  The 1st few weeks after camp could be the most difficult and also a defining period. 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
