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
...

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

to music we gyrate
as its euphony elate
electric vibes wails
thralls giddiness to sail
...

Feel pain see no gain
Mountain of ills brew disdain
Wall fell and blocked pathway
Shards of concrete and clay
...

Home is not where my heart is
Trawler of highways and motels
Fishing the spark of an amorous smile
Straddling waves to catch echoes of love
...
