Oluseyi Akinbami Poems

This is tiled with jagged bricks,
And I walk alone.
Having squandered time, telling tales,
I stand ashamed.
...

Waiting?
We shall not
For the alter’s oath
For these disguised verbal orators
...

Today, is my aniverssary of pains and agony
I remember, The Beautiful voyage in a drowning ship
soul's in distress, the heart is filled with unspeakable pain
Seas opening to swallow our pride
...

Once and never again
This heart in bond
Affectioned to the worship
Of a damsel.
...

Waiting?
We shall not
For the alter’s oath
For these disguised verbal orators
...

He wanted to speak
Therefore, he called a group
And named himself
Affiliates his honor to a deity
...

When you come,
Bring us all the hopes
We wait too long as this journey steals time love
When you come,
...

I failed but is was yesterday
I admit, it was an error, a miss
As all men fallibly prone
Let this pass as water flowing freely
...

I know a woman
She will not bend or bow
She calls it liberation,
As against the sobriety expected from her species
...

Eventually,
He is gone
At last,
He exits this stage
...
