Kingsley Olaleye Reuben Poems

When we were gods
Every monster and foe in existence knew our names.
They trembled at the sound of our blades being drawn from their scabbards
Against us their shields shattered, their fiery breath worthless,
...

It’s funny but I am the damsel an you are the hero
Though I am the hero an you are the damsel.
Like a monster with no weakness I rose my head proudly,
Till I saw your face an a heart of flesh I conceived.
...

There was a stop. There was some time between us there was a wall. I Was on top of it and
Did not anticipate the fall. It hurt but I healed when I looked at You. It seems I dream of love
But maybe not you.
There was a stop again and you said nothing at all. You smile. You Reach out. Your hands
...

My vision is faded into all that is mentally blind,
What I want I search and obviously do not find.
For what I seek is not what I need, in a world dying in the dust,
All I need is You father in heaven- in Your word I trust.
...

Broken no more
Each lost particle restore,
Every dent and crease vanish
Feelings of ill hate banish,

Behold! I stood upon the fringe of creation and lo the universe was Laid bare and naked before

I am a poem. God wrote me. Many will have an interpretation of me But I am what I was
Written to be, nothing less, nothing more. Some say I am a tragedy, While others call me an
Epic. Some say I am an elegy, while others call me an ode and others Still, a sonnet. Many
Have their interpretations some are close, some are completely wrong But only God knows
...

I know my person is far from what you designed it to be
So reset it, remould it and make me free
You send me into the fray to speak
Please make me strong, let me not be weak
...

Across the galaxy of the vacuum of your sparkling tears of joy that Are now stars, I hear your
Voice a trail of cosmic dust glowing in the dark cold expanse that Is this space-this space
Between us.
The gap is breached, you are safe. You can travel to me now, as much As your heart desires.t
...

A fire in your heart I did start
And you composed the very music in my heart
You beckoned the murky mist away
You filled me with words but robbed me of what to say
