olu Akin Poems

My wife's lawyer is her ex
So, I keep appointments at the court
They decide my fate in their former covert,
In clandestine vendetta and surreptitious connivance of rage
...

Sojourner to far-flung climes;
When you return,
Will you remember the evening songs
Chorused by chirping under the baobab tree?
...

My wedding is tomorrow!

Foul, these vain desires;
...

Ah! Too soon to the surreptitious affairs,
Mourning days ebbs,
Energies revived, and to their decorated hides and seek
The which they dubbed in pretext pity
...

Cataract impedes the harmony and the bond,
To protect their interest which she offered freely,
Undermines the sanctity of mutual oaths and with angst ready to destroy.
Feigned affection and concern, captured the uninstructed mistress,
...

She found a field, she took it, she loves to have it so.
The world she hoped to have, and so her heart doth run,
Entwined around by follies, the which she called her friends
And these to scared to say the errors of her ways
...

She pips in fear for lateness like her peer
Camouflaged arrogance with a show of caginess
The error that is obscure reading lines of 'yester-years'
Egotism masked in affronts officiousness
...

You asked, I can see the wagging of the tongue,
Memories of that venture at Ikoyi,
The same which was done to You and many
I heard your question unvoiced, you wait the news
...
