Complicated Poem by Jubril Balogun

The heart heard not of such grief
That sinks the mind in debris
The eyes I told of haunting sighs
Sheathe in tears whereon worries fly

Day I told not of burdens
Weighing tattered unknown feet
Night bears witness of such stenches
Shrouding desires in contempt

Many were words unspoken
Held in obdurate silence
Whispers from inglorious moments
The dawn was made privy

The night veils the tear
The sun dry the sighs
The mind is lost to reason
Hugged in recent plights
