Olawale Akinyokun Poems

ARMS OPEN WIDE TO RECEIVE,
CUDDLING AND CARING IN LOVE.
WAYS SO EASY TO LEARN,
TRUST MADE EASY TO EARN.
...

Truth Be Told
vexed and torn was i
when the news got me
WHY? ? ? ...
...

i'm here
around the corner
in my hall
in the chapel
...

The wishes of mine.
The thoughts that i think.
The words of my mouth.
These acts of mine.
...

I see pictures awry but clear,
Sitting alone, wondering why? ? ?
I close my eyes so I can't see.
Mind in a state of reverie.
...

likened to the growth of a tree,
it grows with a steady pace.
Its roots finding its way in search for nutrients,
never hindered by circumstance or fate.
...

DO WE WEEP BECAUSE WE MISS ONE SO DEAR? ? ?
OR DO WE BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAD BUT IS COME TO AN END? ? ?
THE DEMISE OF A BENEFACTOR, MEN SOBER AND GLUM.
THE LOSS OF A PILLAR, HEADS BENT IN KNEES.
