Sulaiman Alimat Taiwo Poems

The heart weeps, the mind cries
The sky rains, the sun shines
The moon smiles, the air blows
Lovers love, enemies hate
...

How long shall I wallow in fears?
Alone in the heart of the barren sea
For my eyes cry to see my home in the quiet nest
From the saint of memories, my heart filled with empty hopes
...

In the shadow of earth, half of my life passed
Flying unpleasantly in dreams like a polluted air
Tears rolling like a wound in the water
An account of the passing of death
...

Once upon the past, when we never mattered
Injured and hurting in stagnancy
Our souls cried out loud to be nourished
Our hearts sings and requires warmness
...

5.

Word and time enough.
Smile would stream through my eyes again
In admiration of myself
With the distance clearly close
...

6.

life as hard as a stone
Happiness lost to lust
Honesty wielded like shield
Where in the world do i exist
...

Creeping down my cheeks like flooding water
Hear me now!

Don't say those words if you don't honor them
...

Standing all alone
out here, on my own
...

Deep in my palms sit my destiny
I've dreamt, work, fight and live
-with my pen on my palms
Fate brings muse alongside darkness
...

The Best Poem Of Sulaiman Alimat Taiwo

Nature Like A Course

The heart weeps, the mind cries
The sky rains, the sun shines
The moon smiles, the air blows
Lovers love, enemies hate
Nature like a course

Echoes like a trumpet
The ears ache, the eyes weap
Heart weaken, mind blowing
Soul in danger of getting completely lost
Caught at the confluence of history
Nature like a course

Something else had happened, otherwise no more bitterness
Positively, I give voice to my soul
Coming shackle the messenger of my mind
Life colored fully by experience
Immortality, beginning with a sweet memory
Nature like a course

My time was imprisoned, I froze it
Time by itself is nothing, I gave it my past to carry
Locking it up in a capsule of tragic visions
Such a precious vehicle to the future
Nature like a course

In danger of getting completely lost
The question of nature is never changing
It's inevitable like death
Over-sensitivity, I cry in anxiety
My eyes beam so high at my behind
Almost drilling holes into my heart
Nature like a course....................

Sulaiman Alimat Taiwo Quotes

Life fades when half of it is lived in the shadow of lies

In the frame of time lives the experience of past

Development is an aspiration; keep moving, if need be run

Surrounded by storms, may my hope never end in fear that the earth doesn't belong to me

Good character bequeath respect and only genuine respect arouse fear in others
