Yewande Adedokun Poems

The hot night wind blows a girl like me for a reason
Gets my heart racing
Its your jive that gets my heart dancing
...

I feel like saving my soul from fear
I write this on a lonely night my dear

I have a name
...

I flow ontop of it
It does not really like me
But when it flows
It takes me along in folds
...

I could have made my thought my song
with everything around i will let it remain this way
love is a call and it is my course
life in turbulence each time my love sways
...

Now and then, I feel guilty like i have the blood of you in my hands
All that happened wont be ignored for long by me
Just wishing you understand, I only tried to save our time.
I wish you go on, not looking back from that direction you are on.
...

If I watch the rush of an ocean
then I stand to want to rush like it.
If I watch the rush of men
then i stand to see that the world has loosed bravery
...

The lonely scream made, I hear myself clear
The finger print made on the walls of your heart, I hope it does not erase with time
please do not measure my worth with time
for my life as known for a while now that promises are not made with time but with hope
...

As I look around under the shady trees breezy atop the river
Even as the shadows of the tree are seen in it like a mirrror
My curious nature got more of me as i ask myself where is the shadow of the river?
Why does it create shadow for other nature like itself and keep its own shadow hidden?
...

The pearl is complicated
so is the life of those that love it
and that is the tears only the rich cry
I look forward to have this tears
...

The sun shatters the window pane
They say it is the heat from the rays of the sun
Hey! admit to it, it is broken
...
