Abdullahi Olamide Balogun Poems

Drowning in the dark
Alone like a lost soul
Through the silent darkness
I heard my voice echoed multiple times
...

I lost my thoughts
in the cold hands of assessment
Around and round; I kept on cycling
in one pace in a nervous condition
...

In each tears I shed
Is the painful memory of the days
That I can't forget
But moved on
...

In Gadau, you bloom and shine,
Where lessons unfold like petals of blooming flowers,
And teachers tend and nurture the young flowers.
A new chapter reveals like a Phoenix rising from the ashes.
...

You spun your deceit
Tales of lies that you've woven
Your flesh you'll consume.
...

Get out of the doom,
Failure doesn't show your strength.
João is your guide.
...

Behold my dreams
So firm and tight
It brights like the full moon
And glows like Dog Star
...

Like the falling stream.
I cried the ocean.
For so long.
That I can never endure.
...

I felt it clean and clear
But ignored it tick and blue
Afraid! The truth is black
I feel my empty dreams
...

The young night bird
Once soared through the sky
Flapped its wings
And sang its lullaby
...
