Ola Joseph Kolawole Poems

From the depth of the love-shaped dome within,
An ecstatic inconvenience thrives...
From the abundance of the same;
Encomiums abound,
...

My heart is astir with gracious a panegyric
Readily inditing a lovely poem
Encomiums overwhelm my heart –
But sincere praise with no flattery
...

LIQUID LOVE

the road was just as it has been –
the same way it was months back when I left
...

IF TODAY IS MY LAST…

If today is my last,
I will go on my knees in the morning
...

MY CONSCIENCE
I tiptoed to my mum’s kitchen
From the pot, I took a chicken
‘Cause my heart has sinse been hadened
...

THE PURPLE FLOWER
I walked out I the summer
To behold at our backyard a wonder
Nature’s beauty epitomized by a farmer
...

LIKE A PALM TREE.

Of all the trees in the forest,
Of all the plants I’ve seen,
...

COMPASIONATE DELIVERANCE

How happy it is to discover
That your land is coloured by children
...

ALL OF YOU.

Like a clay
Ready to conform to the potter’s way
...

GREAT IFE

an adventure into the city of mysteries
in a citradel of incredibles
...
