Isiaq Nasirdeen Tinuola Poems

Between my ears a clamouring Aah!
Several toes toward innocent - her
Closer I moved, listening to her
As I questioned why red on laps
...

What kind of night was it? I don't know
Her lamp was brighter like a daily clown
Twinkling the starts in cloud adobe
That made bodies so cool and calm,
...

Whose the heart belong I think I know,
Her house in the village though;
She will not see me hear stopping
To watch her heart fills up with sins
...

For the dearest jewelry mine love increase,
That thereby her beauty might ne'er die.
But as the enemies' hatreds should decease,
Her gentle smiles might arrest mine memory,
...

I am a poet, struggling for my fame
But my Sunni beliefs hold me back, it's such a shame
My verses flow like a river in spring
But my identity is a barrier to everything
...

I want to say be, and the be shall be,
I want to say it, so the sitter will sit,
I can't tell the rain to be raining,
But, I can manipulate my name, forever reigning.
...
