Abubakar Ahmed Imam Poems

At dawn
When birds sing
Fluttering their wings
And dancing on tree tops
...

I hear that call
From far away
Gentle, caressing...
Those tender words
...

Words show me brightest of lights
Words show me darkest of nights

Words make tender my heart
...

I stand before you!
My eyes are crimson,
So are yours.
We are torn
...

I want to behold your face
On the belly of the horizon
Growing darker and darker
Until it bursts
...

From the gloom of my nights to the light of my days
I find myself counting your countless salient ways

Could I ever imagine the pain I caused you
...

Akmal, my dear
Is this you that I see
This little ruby
Sparkling with innocence
...

Time has passed by
And slowly we rise
From the dark pit of our slumber
...

Amidst the dark walls
Of ignorance,
Your call rose, still rises,
Higher than the sun,
...
