Pain Love And Death. Poem by muideen olawale jimoh

It reaches your brain in a mad rush

As adrenaline pumps steadily

In a frightening mad gush

On which effect your body vibrates heavily

As you groan in it, you’re either hush

Or your mouth is screaming noisily.



Your heart softens at the effect of its smile

And the world stands still as you relish its fragrance

You’ve lost consciousness of time

As you swivel in the ocean of its radiance

You’re healed cos the feeling is worthwhile

The feeling of ecstasy and unequalled brilliance



The poet slumps at his table

The fisherman drowns in the ocean

And the fearless soldier falls in battle

All these leads to one conclusion

It’s unpredictable and inevitable

And when it does come, there is no solution.
