Praise Akanni Poems

I love to be an actor.
You get to live many lives in just one.

I love to be an astronaut.
...

Below it lingers
And lurks around.
No where to go,
It stays.
...

He walks like one observing a March past
Swinging his hands like a pendulum
Not ignoring his head
But oscillating it.
...

The best, I wait for.
Nothing less than that, I shoot not.
Yet time I waste.
Conquest to be won, I lost.
...

365 days there is,
But like yesterday it feels.
Twelve months congeal,
But time just seems to tick.
...

Eyes locked
Gaze lingering
Hearts kissing.
Words are not enough.
...

Time, we dwell with
Yet all go and they come
While our faces scrub with scythe
Till in our Tomb
...

I gaze in silence as the waves rush to bank at the shore.

The wind whispers soft in my ears through every windows as it glides in through the doors.
...

I said ' I quit.'
But I was back at the door knocking.
I said ' I quit.'
But for the pleasure, I was longing.
...

They pass, leaving behind smiles and tears.
To seize the moment, we only think of;
Not feeling it with others.
Atimes we may not know who to share it with.
...
