Adeosun Olamide Poems

Out here in mist, a virgin widow
With coffin just wedded husband
He died of laughter, she says
That was pure, untouched
...

It began after the birth
Her delusions were stark
She called neighbor fays
And dark was hell to her.
...

The fire did dwell
But melted away soon
Nights- similar rape
No pleasure, just pumping
...

Of life eminent
Death is faithful
The creators’ only gift
All around me, moving bodies
...

I chose daughter ov’r pride
My love is poor
My daughter is dying
I chose daughter ov’r pride
...

Some for the shades, sow seeds of unease,
And the seeds of unease having as fruits or roots,
A deep, sucks their peace
And shoot, the apprehension to abide with them.
...

We like to be seen
We don't like to be- watched
We like your smile
We don’t like your jest-
...

In need a listener
-Though saying scares

Desire free
...

Shall be one more gallery
A many scenes of purgatory
And this album be done
...

Death' too often is impolite
Strolls our corridors-
Dip dirt claw in joy
And sneak our plans
...
