Agbola Oluseyi Poems

An enemy of the eyes befriending the skin
Widely opened to all within the globe
Running aimlessly from nowhere to nowhere
Encapsulated by a part of the whole
...

Arise? But I have no legs!
Nither gold nor brass nor wood can make it so-
But the thin blade cannot but do,
Having its way not minding what is hurt.
...

The six cubit man despise our army
He indeed is a man of the men
A huge challenger of our firm historical heritage
Really too big for everyone
...

GENT
It's a sharp shocking surprise
How great men live as slave!
And all they need to rise,
...

Close to the close than ever before
Every moment draw me closer to it
I got hit by the heat of the plight
But I got one less thing to worry about
...

A scornful laugh I gave the man
Attention! is he on the right path
But with what he has he part
Parting the path that pays
...

I sought the bird with desperation
I really desire to have it
But I can see a thousand other competitor
Wanting the same bird with determination
...

I dare to dare you
But now,
I turn to touch you
The closer I move, the farther you are
...

Jigolo ajigube ajigubelu
Sounds the staggering beat of the soul
Neither as harp nor sting
Beats loudly but silently
...

How I wish I could know
What tomorrow holds for me
And leave my anxiety to away flow
As tears across the sea
...
