Owoeye Taiwo Bisola Poems

THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER...

There will never be another to hold my hands and walk with me through the dark ditches,
There will never be another to kiss away my tears, while I'm wallowing in my well of woes,
...

LOSS OF LOVE...

With strifes in their hearts and heads, they took up arms like plunderers,
They are ready to loot the last hope from our hearts and minds like smugglers,
...

I WILL TRY AGAIN...

I will try again with an air of confidence,
The confidence I lost during my fatal fall,
...

They Ask Me Why...

They ask me why I constantly recoil to my shell leaving behind a timorous trail,
They ask me whether love was a foe, an enemy I would never again forgive,
...

THIS MOMENT...

I don't want this moment to pass us by,
I just want to to get lost in your starry eyes,
...

SINCE YOU'VE LEFT


Since you've left, I've been standing at the entrance of your heart, stiff as a palm tree.
...

LOYALTY

LOYALTY is the watchword inscribed on the walls of our hearts so we don't neglect it,
We will watch our worlds with the torch of the heaven, streaming with sparkling stars,
...

ALLOW ME...

Allow me to hold your hand stiffened and stained with sores;
Allow me to lavish your love-starved heart with my love tales;
...

OUR FATHER'S LAND

On our father's land, we will serve with joy in our hearts while the land is rusty with dearth.
We will sow on our father's land the seeds of labour, with honesty jingling in our hearts.
...

AMAKA DISAPPOINT ME....

AMAKA served me BREAKFAST in bed, she served me a cup of commotion.
She is the thunder that struck twice while the rain was running around in ecstasy.
