Bridges Built

An extremely Close and loving relationship with a woman 16000 miles away.
It’s easy to imagine the softness of your sleep. From here I watch your silent form arrayed in still repose. The angles of lethargic limbs shape patterns on your bed. The rhythmic rise, responsive fall of each...

In the time and space as we exist as friends there is a commonality between us.

When I Look At You

Someone who passed away before her time

save her with your foolish loving smile

before the party...

Because You are

The poem is about God and because He is who He is, I can be who I am. He's confident and bold and loving and so I can be too. I'm facing many challenges...

Nothing in this physical life is guaranteed

But when I lay prostrate before You with tears running down my face using my prayer as seed

Words fail me but my heart relentlessly reaching out to the...

My Oluwadetan

The poem is for a beautiful lady, a firiend (Oluwadetan is her name) who has been helpful in nurturing my talent. Assisting me in several works. The poem is self-expressive.


My Oluwadetan

 

I have read the minds of mortals like books with thousand pages

Scanned through hearts of creatures in a blink of an eye

Watched the glam of starry nights

Through the crescent birth of time in...
