Solomon Akpoyomare

I live in a dark world
My heart is dark, empty of blood
My vain is dried, everything is dead in darkness
Wondering how I managed to live this long.
...

I will wait for the winter wave to whitecap away
She's vowed to wait till the next season
Thus I will wait as well
I'm skeptical what's the coming season
...

Like the sea, slowly swinging beyond her shore
Like a fire flame, flying firmly in the fame of the air
Like our Tendency, tending in the tent of the test.
...

Destine to rule, we rude and ride ourselves
Far away at home we crushed and crumbled ourselves
Like the fire from her mouth we burnt ourselves
Contented not with ourselves, we moved away.
...

As human as I am,
Privilege to proclaim my faith in this world of pride
Yet, I am lost in my prestige
Controlling not my conscience.
...
