In A Dark Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Shush, hush… you hear that?
Tis the school girl, the doctors girl,
Come; see, there, alone, alone-
No guide, aye no guide
Ha, no guide, no guide art her shadow
We follow, we follow her,
Aye we tag, by - quietly-
No, no- yes- no
We stop her, we bring her here.
Quick,
She is- where is she, where?
She is, ha- out of sight, almost-
Sniff, perceive, taste, feel- aye do
Hurry, hurry- before she disappears!
She wants us, to follow, to come,
But hurry swiftly- we must hurry, do now
There, out of sight, there- I clamored!
Woe, woe, tonight woe! -woe upon us,
Woe that she disappears-
But shush, hush; her scent lingers still-
Be still, it flutters here-
And tis the shepherds' game she rears, aye tis!
The wailings of love she likes, she likes us,
But hide, to be sought- but a fool, aye a fool
Her wailings, her breathe betrays her, away her den
There, grasp her, do, rouse thy temper-
She bit, she bit us, a sharp taste of thee
We, aye we- are her thirst, her hunger
See, see in her fierceness-
She plays her game-she plays the game-
See tis the screaming game,
That who they love they bit,
That who they want they reject-
Aye, think! -she threw hands to feel your face-
See, see in her fierceness-
A test to know if strong,
Aye to- if can tame her-
Go, go, and -come- my prince to grasp her,
Now, now-to grasp her,
Put hands over her mouth,
Shut her lips-
Won't hurt her' I say
Over her mouth, shut her lips!
Won't hurt' I swear-
Put away your fears-, put away
Aye, away, away- foul feelings
What, coward, cowardice rears, still?

The cravenness that damns them,
Remember-
That crawls in the dark,
Feeding on innocent souls-
Is seduced by cravenness!
Remember! Fight, fight it o loser-

Aye blame self, curse thee, thyself
Aye, rent your flesh, claw it out-
Then stop! No more, no further!
Hear, blame self no further-
The woe that art- her, ' she
The evil that crawls the dark-
Come, now! - or it shall feast on her soul
Aye come, to see where worn she- caged
Follow the trail; come-
Yes in the deep, into the woods
But hush; blame no further-
Hush, no further thyself- her woe
Hush, even the whispers!
Listen; aye grasp- that pacing heart,
To hear there, for she is, faint
-Hold
Remember-
That crawls in the dark,
Feeding on innocent souls-art this
A curse, aye she is cursed, look it, cursed!
Aye, the screamer, seducers!
But the doubt, you do still, -
That that crawls in the dark,
Feeds on her souls-
Yet see, do you not see?
Aye, come, to unbolt thy doubt-
For who sweats at night,
Whose heart paces like hers?
Hold- a cursed, bewitched,
Look, the screaming wears her,
While hold that thy cravenness' art her this_
Hush, tis folklore where kisses cures death
But this worse, I know, I know not-
To revive a withered consciousness
Shush, hush, beloved,
For we shall save her-from her curse
Aye, from spirit that eats her,
The evilness, the vileness, the stung-
The life that holds her hostage
Move closer, gently-
There, it is, a fierce spirit,
A fierce spirit we shall subdue-
Tear those robes- tis beneath,
Look within those thighs-
For sometimes they hide there
- Open it,
The two fleshy mounds below the backs hollow-
Aye split it-
Suckle there too, aye it-
For they hide in the breast,
Suck it out- from her mouth, her lips,
Hush my prince, the spirit's ill-, it flees,
Aye my prince, the spirit goes,
Aye my prince, we saved her,
And hold- calmness that art her veins as come-
For my prince- dawn is nigh-
