Okunola Peace Poems

I fear for the future that lies before me
And the steps I must climb to reach high
Towards a better life with comfort and peace
That seems to be scarce in my quiet life.
...

When the heavens are dark and cloudy
I will find purpose in the demon steel
I swing around to slay the unseen enemy
That might one day seek challenge and glory
...

Far away beyond space and time
Do I imagine you by my side
On a sandy dune with a crescent moon
Where the waves play a lover's tune.
...

A hole in the side that can never heal,
A wound within that can never seal.
O wandering spirits, hear this mournful tale,
Never whispered or heard by the ill or hale.
...

SUMMONER:

Custodian! Who feed upon human flesh,
Who reviles the angel and their golden leash.
...

Sleep o sleep and wake anew
In the comfort of your lover's embrace.
O Cara of flaming red hair
That frames your lovely face,
...

The sun that sits on the throne of the sky
Finds shelter in slumber's peaceful way.
As darkness suddenly betrays the light
That gives hope to the dying day.
...

It all started on a wintry day
With cold skin and dull eyes;
The sun rose in the west like a god
Riding the tide of nature.
...

Mourn me not o city of light
For I have vanquish darkness unseen
That have diminished your might
And the strength at your peak.
...

Upon this silent hill, on this pleasant day
Do i paint the parable of our lives
Like a sun that blooms 'fore our weary eyes
Or like the faintest memories that fade away.
...
