Chemistry We felt a spark in our eyes our hearts darted and so we felt it was love. Your face redeemed, my breath, a few, each moment, taken until all that was a precipitate of what could have been, but quickly reacted away effervescent little us. Omokhojie Aidomojie Omokhojie Aidomojie views poetry as a way to communicate a message with the world. In his first collection of poems, he shares a message of love, family, and the deep meaning found within the stories the elders never revealed while growing up in a traditional Nigerian community. Aidomojies reflections explore relationships within the family and society as well as such relatable topics as what it is like to fall in love, the sins of man, the joy of finishing a book, poignant reflections from a death bed, the surprising full-circle journey of a secret, the lure of a mobile phones chime, and why a hunger may never be filled. Stories the Elders Never Told Us shares a collection of verse that encourages others to forget what they know and be open to thinking outside the box while enjoying the unique perspective of a Nigerian poet.
