Adegoke Adeola Poems

Have you come here this season again
just to say woe beget this congregation?
Have you not swore now and then, here
to forgive all these sins and sacrileges?
...

Zulayka! Don't love when you don't mean to
Take decisions when you're still a girl
and be careful not to take the wrongs,
When this land proves you wrong, right them
...

Streams here runs through your heart,
The opens and closes of window frames
and how you lived in a circle all life
are tales of an innocent loner
...

To find peace is to reach for your pocket
To find yourself and nothingness
Since you've gotten the bags
You swore you're not going back
...
