stephen yusuf Poems

A branded opium of a civil soul
A smile, a guile guided and girded
Bereaved a grown appetite to starvation
Drawn a dry throat to thirst
...

Her one whole self-arranged, put on seat and fully seated
Adjusted errors, staggering smoothed verses of terror
Her coordinated peeped open-teeth beamed in glorious glow
Smiles sprouting like lightning amidst ray storms
...

I pray for dawning, to this night our heart is aching
Help us dear Lord or we can't make it.

A week ago this news goes
...

Faith is divine,
peace is divine,
Likewise the growth of fruits on a vine.
The slender tree creep its weak flexible stem around the surrounding stage
...

Life that some may live, some give
Sacrifice? Martyrdom? Slavery? —while others Clive
A moment with our surfing breath, a lifetime without it drive
Eternity, a twisted truth more real than faith thrive
...

The Best Poem Of stephen yusuf

Love Deprived

A branded opium of a civil soul
A smile, a guile guided and girded
Bereaved a grown appetite to starvation
Drawn a dry throat to thirst
Taken to the cocoons and dug
Deeper, deeper to where the roots find hope, a taste and a gone from it
Then, watch did he as the flower wilted, withered and with nothing withing
Flew at the momentum of a breeze to the lands of:
Who
Knows
Where?
Such is the heart taken off love!
