ifedayo oshin Poems

Escaping the gamut of globalization
found a haven in the cradles ofcivilasation
on a lone noon ride
i rode on a lane by the countryside
...

I am not wedded
But someone share my bed
Every night, reluctantly I lay
With power of the ray
...

Eyes that captivate with the precision of the eagle
A face with the radiance of the sun
Head fits for a Princess’ diadem
A smile that disarms with the ease of a snail
...

Reflecting her
in shadow and shade
of mirror of my pen via mind
was akin to the painter's pain
...

Days fly past fast
As the eagle swooping swiftly
To the assembly ground
The place of an unusual meal
...

I am hungry
I could not eat

Thirsty,
...

One thing i ask of thee:
one thing before i finally close my eyeslids
one thing that means more than the world
one thing that makes all complete
...

An outcast
fit only for the lepers' colony

A burden
...

The Doctor delivered the news
like a Court Judge
in a final death sentence verdict
'You are HIV positive! '
...

there is a place far not from us all
where visions are clearer than shining moon
dreams brighter than rising sun
and hopes surer than breaking dawn
...
