And Flowers Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Hide no more_ delicate creature
-Sparkling in the mist and cloud
-Dancing in the twirl of breeze
-Exuding to the hills and deep
Of root that bless and soothes the earth
I but, to marvel and see, to inhale thy sweetness
Hide no more_ delicate creature
For I but, to marvel and see, to inhale thee

Oh delicate creature sparkling here,
-To feel you, would bring my life its climax,
Like heaven_ would cause my soul to blossom
Oh delicate creature, just a feel,
For to marvel and see, inhale thy sweetness and too_ to feel

Do listen here, my soothing whispers,
-I have seen that yield- mortified by the sun
Picked for their beauty, felt then forsaken
-For mere fondness of lust, slain in youth
-For your beauty, delicate creature
Must have a protector to shun thy fate,
-From beasts hungry for your beauty,
From lords that seeks to own you
Oh no, for they that by, to be a host,
Of flowers, fruits, a shade- a tree
They live on, in some couch, its skeletal
Or a bark wood in or on some ground
In immortal imprisonment-

Good, O delicate creature go-
To say a bye, go, and we shall our journey
-There, my delicate thing
Oh, where art delicate thing?
Be not vanished from your angel
Oh, do not in that wild- remain,
It won't save from dying, withering
For there, is a sun the clouds can't hold
For a wanderer too, to come upon you-
A wanderer, beasts- hungry in the wild-
But here, whence a parlour that suits thee
And a bed for you to thrive
And curtains not walls,
-To shelter from the aggression of the sun
What warmth shall you need than my -affection?
What breeze shall you than my breathe,
What rain than my sweats?
But, where art delicate thing?
Hide now no more_ o delicate creature
For I but, to marvel and see, to inhale thy sweetness only
