Folayemi Akande Poems

I indite this missive to prove that thine intentions
Are of graver labour into lust of your contentions
And thine world remains bereft of breath ever thence
Since denounced thee of thy conjugal consent
...

I didn't look at the world over my shoulder,
I didn't know my world was over,
Until I looked above in the horizon,
And saw my world with no reason.
...

My fair maiden love,
Our love seasons‘re tough,
Our path remains yet rough,
But in you, i share all bluff.
...

Beauty is a curse
But yours stare and say
'Think not of me a curse
But if must thou,
...

Arise thy Love
Arise thy Love
Arise so your eyes
May unfold the nightly veil
...

Supple thy lips
Humble thy lids
Ribbon thy hair
Grease thy breast
...

The way in my cup you move,
Things in my heart you remove,
The way in my bed you grovel,
That aches in my heart might hovel,
...

The macadam, a path broad and thorny,
Macerate skins worn and damn,
Through cloudless clime where fierce and corny,
They rise wearing somber pasty face,
...

A plebeian pleated tattered garment of whirl,
Dusky, rusty, embodiment of rage,
Lingering on indigo witty night,
Mourned by carcase of lingering cave,
...

As these night climbs over the heels of our affection,
please tell me that my dreams will be devoid your smiling face,
O lass of mogul esteem,
Make not of my heart your flirtatious ground,
...
