Kayode Are Poems

Heaven splays its hues and tones
We streak into a mist unknown
Hearts pounding with spirit askew
Stiff! The metal bird slicing through the clouds
...

Many seek with greed
A worthy cause to bleed
Rooting for personal hoard
Plunder! in the name of God
...

My mother's litter
Had a dozen and one
But did I know I had no brother
Until adversity drained my bone
...

The irate wear the garb of thunder
Raging and raving in turbulent anger
I don't grovel I don't grumble
Calmness strains against foible
...

Tomorrow has to pay
For the pain I feel today
Reeling from the torment of yesterday
A place where duplicity pays
...

From the mobile set, words flow in a torrent
As the voice on the line teases and stirs a current
I want, I want, it seems to plead, in a seductive tone
Tossing pleasant traces of ecstasy across the phone
...

She rolled heads with her eyes
Pulsating a dreamy look that promises more
Her pupils were almond but her thoughts diamond
Narrow until dilated by the world she eyes
...

A reflection of the self
as it wanders, illuminates a shelf
in which we cram the emotions we feel
...

As the music rolls by
Its message seeps in
With its sonorous lullaby
It creates joy within
...

Murmurs fuel the mind
Nuggets of wit rare to find
No harness could check
Nor restrain it sensitive trek
...
