Oluwaseun Ogunbiyi Poems

Fret not; oh child from beauty
For nature only bears its duty
Speak the words thine heart desire
And tap from grace nature does acquire
...

Several times I've come to see
The white man clad with stone
And there I sit beside his knee
Till night leaves us alone
...

Amidst their struggle
still to gain...

Their tears have sunk
...

And ye to thee the lord bestow
His grace to bid thee yet another year...
Despite adversaries trials and foe,
The lord has placed thee ever so near.
...

Within the clustered blocks of harbour
Lies the roam of a blonde goat
And all she did was merely gnaw
Till she found a grassy sight
...

Subtle whitish linen gowns
Enchant the hearts in sacred towns...
Leaving bare their holy feet
And clanging bells along the street.
...

Puny suckling beasts of the night
Brittle bodies fervid bite.
Dwelling within the absence of light
Regardless of a victims might.
...

Only when i was a little child
Entrapped in walls of innocence
My mother drew me in arms so mild
To the towns-heart at Leissence
...

I would not let your beauty sway me back and forth
for i am not a mere lizard on a broken wall.
I've learnt from my mistake when it had me once;
my leg hit a stone and i had to fall.
...

I really must be sincere with myself
As much as i need to be frank with you
My heart, my mind, my soul and wish
Is keen and bent on being with you.
