Efe Benjamin Poems

Running here and there
Scampering for daily bread
Between you and me
Ills eating deep in between
...

Death is hanging on a loom
My ship is set sail a quest
No boon, no time for rest
Life leaning on a strife till every noon
...

At night she hawks;
her pride hidden
between her thighs
and I desire her.
...

Lagos, City of the idle
Here I come, to join
in this struggle,
Tho' you pretend to be busy
...

This is your life
Your life in my life,
So sweet
I do not think of you,
...

My love is like a firefly
In a night of Hades
But you are as safe as an angel
Is safe in the ethereal haven
...

At night she hawks;
Her pride hidden
Between her thighs.
And I desire her.
...

The virgin,
Like unused engine,
Caught my eyes,
Intruded my heart
...

Do not tell me friend
How you found your
Love dead
Looking into your eyes
...

so you died!
when i heard,
i cried.
...
