Prince Adedeji S. Ologbenla Poems

As you step out of your comfort zone
Life might hit you hard on your face
You might stretch your hands for showers of blessing
And end up only with blisters and bruises
...

A glimpse at the face of life
To the heart, aching to look
Life with different faces
...

When my ember of love grows
Into a full fire of love that glows
When the hidden eyes of my heart
Will shine my light of love on earth
...

The dark is here
Sounds of automobiles drilling deep into the ears
Car's headlight striking powerfully the eyes
Lots of buzzing on the road
...

When the time seems so long
That it look like the pains will last forever
That the strong tide lift the cable strain
When it seems all hope is lost into darkness
...

There was a time
When shoulders were raised high
When hope beautifies people's face
There was a time
...

Ifemi,

Your face, nature’s hand painted
...

My soul sounds like an empty tank
Beaten by an iron rod
My heart cries to the evil in array in our land
...

Harmathan bears the moribund year away
The dangling stars announces the proximity of a new year
Being ushered in by the merriness of christmas
As the shrill songs of the whistling santa
...

Sound my angelic yelp to the roof of the world
Let my pains reach the doors of heaven
Give wings to the cries of a martyr
Let the words of my lips fly to your ears
...
