Ilori Tomiwa Poems

I fought many wars.
I bled blue blood.
I had rubies to show,
On it the sun shone.
...

Light sounds of crack,
The egg drew uneven lines.
Holes were evident in successive minutes.
After much unpracticed effort,
...

Its me and God in the same socks.
Why lord over me when he cannot provide,
Then an object of ridicule amidst folks
I am tired of promises, wants has refused to subside.
...

He threatened her with guns and the cross,
Then shredded her beautiful dark rags.
He pinned her to the wall,
And sated his Adamic desire.
...

If i keep you afar,
It is because i want you close.
You know the heart grow fonder,
When you are yonder.
