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
...

EXAMINATIONS.

Lead us not into temptation
That is our common rendition
...

THE FRIEND THAT BEFRIENDED ME.

My heart is astir with gracious a panegyric
Readily inditing a lovely poem
...

ALAPADUPE
…he that kills with the expectation of a vote of thanks…

“Hello Mama. I’m excited – It’s a boy”
...

TOWARDS A PERFECT MAN*

Oh that I’m a Light
As though a lamp to their feet
...

BUT FOR YOU..

but for Your Wisdom,
My parents won’t have existed
...

FATHER FORGFIVE ME.

“Father forgive them
For they know not what they do”
...

AMIDST THE GLOOM

“My God, My God…
Why have You forsaken me?
...

ARUGBOOJO (The Ancient of days)

Call Him the Oldest
Call Him the Wisest
...

DECAGONICAL PERSONALITY OF THE DEITY.

*1*
in Him was Life
...

YOUR JABEZ CAN STILL BE LOVED …

Show me a man that is unloveable
And I will show you a man void of glory in every sense –
...

The Best Poem Of Ola Joseph Kolawole

More Than Just A Lovely Friend

From the depth of the love-shaped dome within,
An ecstatic inconvenience thrives...
From the abundance of the same;
Encomiums abound,
Factual truths – with no obsequiousness

Words meet words in my heart
The latter gliding upon the former
Hurrying through my blood veins
To my tender loving hand
Flowing by transmission to my golden pen
... and now, ecstatically dancing on my scroll…

I’ve got words to say in writing
About My Sweet Friend…
– Or healthier said –
To this jewel... more than just a Lovely Friend.

How sweet the words of your mouth has been
Every single time you choose to speak;
How sweeter your wise counsels had been
Oozing forth from your quintessential wisdom

Melodious art thine voice, Lovely friend;
Yes, more melodious art thine sense of affection.
Broad art thine smiles, Sweet Heart;
Yes, broader art thine generosity.

Smile again, my Beloved
Yes, laugh again the contagious laughter
That emanates from those glittering enamels
...I need to smile and laugh again.

Come to the kitchen of my love
And watch my love prepare my favourite delicacy
Or better still, join us at the dinning
And experience with us, the unveiled koinonia.

Thou epitome of astuteness
Thou paragon of intrinsic worth
Thou charity embodied
And a fountain of acumen

All hail the Acme of Beauty
All hail Understanding made flesh
All hail Knowledge typified
All hail My Lovely Queen-Friend


Who had loved me this much…
Even when I’m not the “he”
