Jude Ogunade Poems

Dans la rue Bourgeoise,
Il y a beaucoup de vanité.
Dans la rue Bourgeoise,
Il y a de les choses qui me faire crier.
...

Venez vite! Tout le monde
Venez vite! Mes mères de ce monde.
Il’ y a une fête ici, voilà - voici
Il’ y a une fête de l'amour ici.
...

Ce matin, ce bonheur matin, cet amour matin!
Je vu en amour, amour avec un couleur noir resplendit,
Linda, tu es mon soleil maintenant, mon brillant soleil.
Linda, tu es mon amour, mon amour pur et plein.
...

As I suckled under the shade of your shadow,
The smiles on your face lit my mind aglow.
So sweet are the memories:
Sweet was the taste of your teats,
...

Let not love be far from me,
Make me have the time to spend on love,
And everything that to it attends,
Give me the courage to love.
...

I will be the shade from the scorching sun
I will be the oasis in the parched desert
I will never like others from you ever depart
I will be with you always from now till ever
...

I slept, singing songs of sadness
And sorrowful sigh for fleeing families.
I woke, with a wailing weep
And tea tears for fleeing families.
...

LIGHT BECKONS HER

Light beckons her
...

Prelude:
No wonder the weather wobble in clime.
No wonder the clouds crawl; wasting time.
No wonder my navel erupted!
...

When darkness dared my light
And sadness became my plight
When storms brewed my brain
And fears my only gain
...
