Elijah Akinwunmi Poems
The time is here! Here it comes,
Snarling, roaring and whooshing
Like some ravenous, impatient wolf
Bearing down on a prey, intent on murder.
...
Do not forget me:
I, the slain casualty of Time,
The game of pandemic violence;
The hunters prowl, the game restless
...
Blessed wonder, mystic answer
To all that is near and yonder
Whose marvels foggy heads taunt
As ghosts helpless kids in dreams haunt.
...
The Best Poem Of Elijah Akinwunmi
Just A Moment: Tears Of A Dying Man
The time is here! Here it comes,
Snarling, roaring and whooshing
Like some ravenous, impatient wolf
Bearing down on a prey, intent on murder.
Swiftly it comes and petrified nature
Stands but for a moment:
A moment more precious than countless treasures,
A moment wherein time's dead and undead
Stand, immortal in resurrection;
A moment wherein a single, statuesque terror
Overwhelms a hundred thousand goods,
A moment wherein Beauty's eyes
Splay, pallid in a paltry visage.
The time is here! Here it comes;
Now I hear the thirsty reaper
Swilling breath from the air,
Yet generous for a moment:
A moment queerly eternal,
A moment before life and death
In bizarre friendship embrace.
