Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss Poems

I fall in love on a lonely day
When my motion is high on a race
When my heart is dried of life & a taste
Not just when am a friend to the grave
...

If I die without a heir;
History will be mad at me
For choosing the path so brief
Life would be unfair to me
...

When I have nobody but me
I 'd rather be real
Instead of being hopeless and still
Begging for alms I won't be fit
...

I stopped for death
When she could not come to me
Begging she pronounce my name
Squeeze and ravage my entire home
...

What will I be remembered for?
Looking at life and the end of age
After sleep refuse wake
Will heaven and earth exchange a hand shake?
...

The Earth our hollow host
There's nothing to bank and boast
The Earth our hovering home
We are the apparitions, her ghost
...

There were days life was not fair to live
The years hardness of life brought us to our knees
The nights we thought we could be safe running to the grave
The period outcast was far better than the slave
...

Whenever I fall in love
I come with my heart complete
Pronouncing my mind so loud
In a manner my request will be made known to the heart I came visiting
...

War is not food;
Why hunger and thirsty of it?
War is not good;
Why plunder and clamour for it?
...

Fix yea your eyes on God
And not the people of this world

Beat not your chest and cheer
...

Aren't you done living this way?
To save this heart from further dismay
Claiming what you are not
And not knowing your worth
...

Mere exchange of hug
A heart is tied down like wood
How love drives one nuts.
...

If patience isn't necessary;
How can what is good manifest?
It is by a change of narrative that several dreams do come true
Not just to believe that miracle is likely to occur
...

The day I saw multiple blessing
It rain from morning to evening
Indeed there was joy among the living
...

In this hut many have lived for long
In murmur and mimicking ancient song

Numerous I've seen sponsoring war
...

In emptiness I once chose to be sold
In abandon of riches and glory
I disowned the house of gold
Reaching out the destitute for love
...

Dance not my child!
The heartbeat of Igede drum
For It is far from your perceived joy
Dance not to the elevation of its sound
...

The journey men embarked
and beckon to defeat
I've backed refusing sleep
Here you're mocked in the
...

When we do good;
We do not ask for a return
We do it for the sake of God
And the love we've got for all
...

Love isn't a dream where allusion is all we dwell
It is more than eyes can see
Strong feelings born out of
our being
...

The Best Poem Of Emmanuel Joseph Olumakiss

I Fall In Love On A Lonely Day

I fall in love on a lonely day
When my motion is high on a race
When my heart is dried of life & a taste
Not just when am a friend to the grave
Bliss an end to the trouble I face
Willing to plough my worries away
Whenever dealt with emotional haze
Know the period its love I trace
I fall in love when am in need of a mate
A lap to put my head so I can rest
Not because of merry, or a haste
A plan to withstand the lonely days
I fall for love with friend that's insane
Whose feelings won't decrease on a day
Her thought running towards my vein
Someone who rears trust, truth and faith
I fall for love when my brain is running and awake
Not one that needs bags of promises to grant my request
Along the road when it no longer sweet but decay
Our wounds, misfortune won't be called to surface
I fall in love on a lonely day
For the sake of joy, bliss and a pet
To a woman who knows love not regret
So I can survive the future when my emotion upset.
