Omolola Oladotun David Poems

Am surrounded by Victory
Nevertheless with many wounds as Victor am called
Yet to look beyond I must
As same voice I hear say
...

Mystery consumes my fairy soul
With my hopes dashed within in tiny holes

Life is stolen from me so cold
...

I live with almost all but nothing yet lacked
Yet I haven't enough.

Took the best from the best
...

My conception had I drilled so deep
With believes in all as tales
Folks or fairy I never bordered
As Lagos to me was herself a wonder
...

My mystery I seek to put on you
Yet with no knowledge of what to do
A lie you never must swallow.
For my actions are clear yet shallow  
...

Yet again I find myself
Drenched within my personal fears
At the very point I rise to smile
Within my utmost search I find yet another scare
...

Many lies have I been told
With none verified yet had to behold
This one lie was I groomed into
Nurtured and buried hitherto
...

It's been yester-years of lost memoirs
A history I had left to lie below
That the visions of later may stand firm
Yet filled with many still unknown
...

Why live?
The skies are too long
You can't get there
Even when you try
...

I write not because it's what I want to do,
Rather, this is what I must do.

I write not because there's nothing else to say,
But because you're everything I ever prayed.
...
