Kamarudeen Mustapha Poems

Drop by drop
The pool brims
Step by step
Great distance is made
...

Ah! See: so we are the same colour within
See: cut up, my heart is not black
Your heart not white; your heart is not yellow, mine is not brown
Incredible! Our hearts pump the same red blood
...

Plant your tomorrow
Today
So that you don't harvest
A bumper zero
...

To know a man
Look within
And not without
...

I love the way you stretch my veins
Like string of immortal lyre serenading
And elongate them the height of the sky
I love the way your smile caused rainfall
...
