Odelana Rapheal Poems

No gladness


I feel lost inside myself,
...

To my Ex.

I choose you when my heart beat like the bata drum at ayegbaju market,
Without thinking twice, doubting or pausing I arranged my heart like skelewu dance, dancing when I'm not fit,
...

What happened that day.

Hope you never forget our first meeting,
Beside apoka tree on the struggle land called future,
...

Our first contact was on WhatsApp "Hello, I'm Odelana Adejoke",
I blinked my eyes in war and peace, maybe the message was a slick,
I quickly travel in happiness and questions, how will the sunname looks alike,
Chai! Within seconds, my thought react allergic.
...

Men rise and fall like a winter wheat...
I've dine with struggle and my throat melt
Have been in hell with the company of parent
What a precious life that war preserve till eternity.
...

The Gbagi, in divine dance, move,
Nupe voices sing, rhythms prove,
Hausa relish their gooey fare,
While I, a wandering soul, do dare.
...
