HAKAM ABUBAKAR Poems

Yes, i believe perfection reigns
For perfection, you and i crave
But in those who claim perfect
souls
...

Life takes new turns as time wanes
A lot said, a lot done; what remains?
I sprint into ardent prayer as a new year
calls on me; to live again, and my affairs steer
...

I write these words
Full of ecstasy
My malady
has gone by
...

Stare not at me

Your face i wish not to see
...

Willy nilly

You are leaving
...

I could have

made it out
...

The day has ended
The sun gives way to the night
Soon the sky will be free
Of flocking birds
...

Verily i realised the fixity
As the days showed versatility
Hence hid no verity.
It's pleasure i never sated
...

When I shall meet my dreams
No one can ever say
God permitting I shall grow
Then I'll know
...

Recall how I trod away
On the school's vacation day
With my wee hand so gay
I waved you graciously
...
