Tosin Abegunde Poems

Influence ignites instinct
When soaring on high instills.

To whom much is given
...

I heard a bird, sing
A song striking like detached ring
It sounds audible
Depicting a message seem gullible
...

Returning from the bloodless war
With our bones emaciated
Experiencing acrid smell of death.
...

Ode To An Imaginary Spouse.

Whenever i recline on my bed
Her image looms in my head.
...

Oh! Mr. Corruption:

What a friend you are!
Forever shall we adore you
...

A sparkle-like edifice
On which some sproutes office

Ones that makes me go glee
...

Once upon a time
In a kingdom very near
When men were still men,
Women were still virgins
...

In solitude on the gallery thinking
Saw i eyes crowded on course,
Glittering, wet and sickening
Like a mat-djnn on a cause
...

My death, oh sweet death
A journey to a new breath
Where fantasy erodes pain
To ignite an eternal fire of reign.
...

No Friend, No Foe.

The state of the heart-beat of Africa, NIGERIA.
A poet could not but be moody
