Adegbite Adeyinka Poems

The Son who errs,
His father will not hold
If sin, such love, deters
Love of man is sold
...

I write to honour a father
The figure that bears my weight
Who helped me walk farther
Than even I can, and straight
...

Guard the pane of my heart
Let not foes steal the peace;
Paint my dream a solemn art
All I ask of you is this
...

Day I told Pa a lie
The words reply like songs I like
Guilt blinded me like the night
Weakness came in mighty might;
...

Prayer, the chart that maps our way
That we should never go astray,
He who is lost the world will prey on
If he pleads not that His will be done;
...

There's a place in my heart
She always has a home in there
That we may never be apart
Forever together, wherever, to fare
...

Tomorrow, Tomorrow
Who holds the morrow?
Who let's today pass
And knows what the next has?
...

I robbed the night of my love,
I stole her from the clog of dreams
Far into the quiet woods with birds
Beside a chilly running stream
...

If you had a story that goes beyond time,
Be that it runs, from a morning, till the night
I will ever be there; I am your knight,
Just tip me that smile, its value, than a dime;
...

Wipe the tears that drip down from your cheek
Grief will not give the answer you seek;
Though your cloud seems dark and the future, bleak
Hang not your head down as though you are weak;
...
