Joshua Adeyemi Poems

My heart skips for you like the gazelle,
Swift limbs over the pale earth,
Seducing the dust till death,
Away from wrathful foe swift fled.
...

But I Have Seen!

If I was told the water will boil fish,
I would hold the conveyer in a grip,
...

My Future Partner

Though I've not seen her,
Or known her before,
...

Like a rigid hill she stands
With her naughty look-
Pouting and smiling,
redish chin, yellowish skin.
...

Have you ever looked at the mirror?
Who do you see?
You see yourself?
No it's not you.
...

Born without blood nest and sin piercing sting,
By divine message was his praises sung.
Gabriel announced the emergence of his Lord King.
That without blood he will elude sin that stung.
...

After amala and ewedu,
And after the round two of egusi and fufu.
Na im my eyes come dey pinch me,
Small small i dey close am.
...

Exceeding in pride,
obstinate in decision-
she moves on; she's time.
17: 12: 08: 20: 43
...

What a skin!
Full of unprecedented
glows, like that of his kin.
But now disfigured on
...

How calm is Nature's love repose?
How often is Nature's love oppose?
Daffodils and berries,
Are now bethroted to the heavens.
...
