ONE DAY





By Ola Vincent Omotade

My eyes clouded with tears, it started to drip out of my eyes, rolling through my cheek, then some resting on my lips..
Observable  like thunder and lightning.
All i meant was love.

So when the heavens parted  her gentle smile lasted on the planetary bodies,
So while the filaments lasted her stars kept shinning my world.

But one day, all this Rossy words will,
will stop. I mean no more poetry
And shut closed will be the mouth,
mouth of the poet always opened.

So I ask, why do love exist?
why do we love those who don't love us?
and why do our heart pants for people who see us like shadows and sunset of an intricate star.
But yet we kept pursuing them to moon.

One day Love will live,
and truly we'll be found in her hands,
whose hand? her hands
the one who will give us her thoughts, who will give us her heart who will truly believe we loved her before she loved her love loved into Loving us.

Closet sobbers laughed at me, mess
they marveled at my tenderness
Because I can't see  her flaws
her feelings for now looks like claws
But all in one do I love her like a crazy lover.
And strongly do I believe she will love me
ONE DAY.

ÌGBÀ ÈWE (CHILDHOOD DAYS)

By Teslim Opemipo Let our mothers come like harmattan haze and swear by the sacrality of ògún if the roof lying above their fathers' house has never been stoned by a boy in love to walk them out for an evening talk. Let our fathers come like a windy rain and swear by the simplicity of òsun if the path that leads to the village stream has never danced to serenades sang by their soles in chase of maidens with braids so long. Let the elders come like a mid-year harvest and swear by the tranquility of the moon if they've not once tasted the bliss of childhood fermented with the morals of moonlight tales. In our village, childhood is made of water; kinsmen, remember, water is brewed with life and life is the laughter moulded on our lips when we gambol from rivers to trees and to fields painted in the colours of hopping grasses. Brethren, if you hear an elder saying: growing up kills laughter and joy, do not giggle for they once like us tasted the bliss o...

FADING SAPPHIRES

By Ola Vincent Omotade She shouted at me  '' just walk away '' You made my past miserable, you're meant to be forgotten. I tried  to walk gently out of her sight. she then 'whispers'  I hate you ,cheater, devil  she said. Then i knelt down and from my sour mouth,I said "Could me and you with fates conspire,to break this sorry scheme of a thing entire. Cos my glances nowadays are now in glimpse. She looked  at me and replied i give you just five minutes. Then i knew i had to do more of poetry and not planning. So i started this way Clouds and Darkness were round about me. Just like the first time i saw your face. And After your lightning enlightened my world, there was a great race in my heart. The way my heart beats radically still wont Change. so I wept bitterly upon the mountains and upon the Hills and it seems someone is taking me away.. Waters cannot quench our love neither can flood drown it....wait Just mention, e...

BED AS A SLAUGHTER SLAB.

Another sinister stab... a bed as a slaughter slab. A branch broken down; death with a fierce frown. Another drunk knife. An assailant of a wife. Neglected role of a mother. Now a brutal butcher. Body riddled by holes... sadness slays our souls. Another gruesome death; candles about to melt. Fear in the camp of men... a callous campaign by women. How many more men will fall? Devilish handwriting on the wall. No more dreams in our sleeps. Our slumbers are no longer deep. A death devoid of bliss; we still pray you rest in peace. Lanre badmus November 2017
