Death Whispers Poem by Adeosun Olamide

Why shiver dearest soul-
And strive still in hell there
Dost notice not sweet body thy-?
Glimpse, o soul glimpse- the bars
How rot and reek rears inn old cage
Aye bars- wore, worn o beloved- glimpse
But before is- for tis pass when wink
Is -thee not glad o soul- this freedom
That still ease the lure- those fiends?
Then why flee from- that gaze here thus hide
Tell, why eludes me grasp, -O soul?
Heed not, heed not- lured soul
Glimpse, o glimpse there, not there
Tis trap- the babe in cradle
Yours truly the little one,
Condemned a torment- hear her wails-
Here o soul I shall bring countless- to
I am a gift- me sweet, a gift gentle soul-
From shame, from pain to shelter thee
I be- aye I be- your rider to glee, to eternity-
Hearken, hearken- do whispers here
For tis lie- lie o soul what hear there-
That seeks- to put back thy fetters
To rein thy wings and prone thee to hurt
Must fight soul, struggle against foes
Fight soul- thy body is worn- come home
They- hear- seek to lock as before done
Aye in that ruin, disgust named body
To lock again as before done!
Come dearest soul my haven-
And halt now- this toil to remain
Come where angels, roses live
Hell, hell- earth is
Come soul- the wing here
To tide across endless seas
To swim O soul in the suns pool-
Aye to swim there where paradise is kept
Hush, hush- prithee
Families, friends, awaits thee there too
O, to bring you there gaze- be charge mine
But first to my grasp- nigh, nigh comely soul-
Aye soul, I be death, a gift from God most high-
