Errors Of A Night Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Come (Befall) hut of poorness in ides may
Soulless minions of evil made, wandering
In snail’s pace with urge impulse of rape veins
And reason seized of drunkenness

Tender daughter here dream in bench tender leaves
As attend glitters shadows light of dews and fairy all in blankets
There notice her, that unripe seem adult as burgle lips between legs
Awake her, numbed her as molest offers, woe betides

Upon her, scars of carcass innocence which webs fragility spins
That glee depression takes as shame whimpers to absent father
Bathed and honed seemed in vengeance
To revive withered, proclaimed expiry on defilers

Of ire he begs bite that toss effort earth, as feet the spirit in earth rouse
So come him attend this that death his hand use as scythe the smotherer spoilers her life
With grief etched in visage, his mien and courage grasped in his terror
He home journeys, his rictus veiled in lost smile as gentle breeze his hair ripples

But wretched Justice as yawn from ancient slumber
With woe veiled in fairness her visit, delivers his custody into torture
Of exploring sensory while exploiting mind, of caressing scarred flesh
Yet Confined, not thoughts, starving but not yet his honor, beaten but not yet his mind

Muck and mire birth him, lived him, saw him
But now all darkness be, as seasons into seasons turn
Like snake empty venom yet fangs he rivals faith an accursed
In theaters of night, slowly the stir of dream yet starved face his seek, his daughter

With cursed the cause his journey, burdened with fearful memories, mutters to self
Did death his second wish, for it a course to freedom, the habitude unchained
To cause sadness joy, struggled with writhe daughter, soon mast of justice an attorney be
Demand freedom her father, sought vanquish over forgotten him

Long upon, a way found, one guiding old man from dungeon
Again to breeze feel, to stars see, to heaven showers
With scars fetters on hand and regained touch reality a merry
As don (Put on) robes conquest, death crawls in, stealing light leaving him cold
