ADEKEMI BANJO

You and I,
Under the blanket
Of stars
...

A text
A call
An email
A time to chat
...

Do you see the pain
The pain in my eyes
Do you see the hurt
Hurt borne deep into my heart
...

This is my country
Of her, much I can say
This is the land of salient creatures
The fewest Africa ever had
...

I heard laughter
A strange one
Not in my heart
And I am not dreaming
...

Altitude of snow, Wonderful
Indiscreet gray colour, Brilliant
Vast terrain of landscape, Beautiful
Pebble stones everywhere,
...

Behold She Is
Archaically Old Fashioned
Wearing Her Loose Straight Dyed Clothes
More Plain in the Eyes of Common
...

The roaring sound emerge from every where
Hurl black space outside on a winter night
The sound erupt feelings of despair and loneliness
Distant, yet so very close
...

If I can run a little faster
Faster than my legs could take me
Or even fly
If my wings
...

Did you not know the day I talked about?
The day we first talked and endlessly it went on
A stranger he was and a good one he became
Longing and wishing there could be more
...

On a foggy night that was when we met
dances here and there, different faces all around
It started though he never wanted it to
I gave him a chance because i wanted to
...

She is the least
A good person
Broke rules
She has been everywhere
...

I walked around the room
My life in despair
Wonder if this was me
Or just nature’s gloom
...
