muideen olawale jimoh Poems

Raynab, O Raynab,

My charming dark Arab
...

The strong is frail

The warmed seeks succor
...

Where have you been?

That it took me long to find thee
...

No! You should know me
tears and torn torsos
Heralded your dawn
Built your city
...

From behind these veils
Of mascara and eye liners
Whispers of stale
Music
...

Sumayah…

Wayo sumayah
...

Olusola,

Raven black beauty
...

The earth’s magma shook from the roar of thunder,

Piercing through the night’s eye,
...

Let me introduce myself

My name is Aderanti Fasasi
...

They fall softly
Upon my shredded soul
The thud of their descent
Resonates heavily
...
