Bolami lawal Poems

When silence speaks,
it tells a tale;
of greives,
of pains,
...

A rare wave
stormed through the deep,
a raving crave
aimed at the heart,
...

Those things i did effortlessly,
those smiles i gave without recourse,
those moments of exfoliating warmth,
rolled back in time, like a thunderbolt
...

Life says...
do not wait for the sun to shine;
but
learn to live without its' warmth.
...

Woman

O woman!
In thee beauty hatched,
...

Sometimes at night
when the lights are out,
when the flickerings of the lantern fades;
i hear a soft and a stealthy sob,
...

A plague is feasting in town,
The dust has settled on its brim
In everyhome and on folks alike;
They rot away without a stench
...

Today is battered,
bound in fears and filled with griefs;
today is smitten,
bruised within and burried in pains,
...

Am coming out now;
Out of the box,
Your confine.
Where lower than the dust i lie
...

Warm is the way i smile
when i embrace the night,
high is the way i soar
when the sky is all mine;
...
