Abdulhakim Haliru Poems

I thought I knew her only now i know
she is deeper than i know.

She is a Phenomenal Woman
...

Split between two,
I yearn for you to understand,
Yet you paint my imperfection
Making a jest of my imperfection.
...

Ages ago,
In chains and whips,
They urged us on,
With trepidation we yielded,
...

As for the bow is the arrow,
So is the woman for the man,
She bends him, yet she obeys him,
She pulls him yet she follows,
...

O glorious lady,
Never before have I seen,
A creature, a sculpture, a picture
With overwhelming virtues.
...

O ye life long dream of mine,
You are the fruit of my marriage,
a life long dream of mine.
...

My fear…
My fear is not yesterday,
My fear is not today,
For I have cited it
...

It is a world where;
I am the only one that cares for me
The only one that advises me
I cannot go through the thicks
...
