Bolami lawal Poems

A lonely night
Nurtured the destiny of a union
One with an unusual ambience
You can hardly fathom,
...

Once, i came to an alien truth
Of life and love internally
Of peace and joy internally
Those things unseen
...

when i lost you,
I lost a chance....
'lost the chance
To say am sorry,
...

In the night of our reunion
That night that shared our bond
Memories flow like a river
Each word spoken was in silence
...

Yesterday was cold
The breeze sailed across our noses
So we perceived the sweet scent
Of stirring roses
...

I wait untill night when i lay to sleep
When the sun retired and the stars awake
When darkness paraded its worth
And all men lay as dead
...

We slept the night before
With tears of woe
But in our sleep
We almost forgot!
...

I yearn for you,
You who coloured my heart 
With the colours of the rainbow,  
With great passion
...

The arms of a warrior
Saving at home
Slaying at war
Brewing venom
...

Poor daughter of an humble homage (ise se wo ju ole)
You who stood to upturn the old adage;
'A tree will not make a forest they say'
But idowu was a mighty tree,
...
