Kelly Iyogun Poems

The Rain,
it poured forth
like raging warriors
drenching all in its path.
...

Friends we were,
feelings we shared,
time we spent,
jokes we told
...

As my pupil dialates,
and my eyelids blinks rapidly
while my heart echoe loudly in its cage,
you could hear the thumping on my chest, sounding like the march of the hordes of hell as you approach.
...

I watch each foolish strides of his,
As he gallops to and fro with no destination.
Í saw him; shoulders high, chin up wallowing in his pride.
He speaks as though he knows
...

Like many he was born with a silver spoon,
eating with it from the belly of a wealthy tycoon.
He had all he wanted,
his life divinely painted.
...

There was a fire that raged within me, i tried to fight it but its power overwhelmed me, it was as though an immortal took possession of my broken mortal spirit.

I ran to my room with the strength my mortal bones could carry, i picked a mirror to gaze at the reflection i was fast becoming, i stared at the mirror to find a stranger gazing at me with his blood thirsty eyes.
...

Is she a goddess, an angel or a mermaid? that i do not know.
She descends from the clouds arrayed with the finest of gold, diamond and jasper,
clothed with the sun and the moons for a crown,
Her hairs are like flying and sparkling shades of silver.
...

With grievance I write, hoping ye might see the light,
We say we are a nation at its crossroad but I pray we do not corrode,
Corruption has bitten more than it can chew,
Everyday is a story of another political duel,
...

Once i walked the path of
the blind, been led away to my doom.
It seems the world have left
me behind, wallowing on yesterdays
...
