Efe Benjamin Poems

i don't want you
to know me,
if you know me,
you will
...

I loved mr. Fred
He was my friend
But was taken from me
Death took him from me
...

Men in chains
In malady of the age,
Bigots in rage
Worshippers lie in state.
...

Please don't leave without a kiss;
I want to plant it on your lips.
My arms around your hip;
O' my love can you feel the heat?
...

Naked I came
And naked shall I return
If it be the will of Allah
That I go today
...

For those unlucky in love
In your feelin' of sadness
and forlon,
Love songs will always be
...

Love is but a shadow
The shades in Hades
Seeks to be redeemed
But the ever watchful
...

I am not an epigone
Tho' I read Hesiod's Theogony.

I love Ajax the greater,
...

Do not curse this day
I have become bearded
Still not yet a sage
As some would say
...

My love, my siamese twin
I see you seated there by
that tree.
I love you, are you still free?
...
