The Silent Heart Poem by OMOYAJOWO OLAOLUWA

The Silent Heart



Crawling towards me, I felt it was of no use
Walking towards me I felt it will be controllable
Running to my heart I took the shining emotion
With an uncontrollable emotion, within my nation
Considering my soul this is what it reiterates in seconds, I can't mention
Considering my footsteps to where it lies
Like champagne to my mind, I got intoxicated
To reveal, I am not capable and able
Suddenly I ask myself, thus you love where you are unable
Can will have likely mind my soul despairs
Suddenly, he replied me how did thou love
He said you hate yourself and love another
I asked why, he said, don't you think love is dangerous
With boldness I told him, favor me for I own you
He replied, move e ahead and make it known, I was unable
He said, go ahead and take the fruit for it fits your table
I took courage; I rushed in, rushed out for she disposes
I was mad, and my soul says, insanity rest in the place of love
I rebuked him, he said, what makes you different
I thought it within me, am I not mad
But my mind favors me and adds more of love
I stood up, rise up, already in the top, to meet my nation
And I keep on saying; I will go today, for it is the day
I will go tomorrow for it is that day
And the day keeps on coming and going, I am pregnant of love
Unable to get to love nest, living in ecstasy, also in lovelorn race
Where will I give birth? But I wish.
